Summary: useless
Comment: My well meaning mother bought me this shortly after getting my first motorcycle. There was nothing of use to be found in the book when I had a problem. It merely contained generic references and useless pictures of bikes that I did not own. It did not have anything useful for MY bike.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for Complete Beginners
Comment: This is a good book for complete beginners. I had the tiniest bit of motorcycle knowledge and I found the book a little basic. The main problem with it is that it doesn't tell you anything that a good shop manual doesn't; but it can't really be used on its own. So it's sort of superfluous.
I would recommend it to parents who are trying to get their kids into motorcycling (and teaching them to be responsible for their own maintanance). The pictures are useful and the tone of the book seems to be aimed at teenagers.

Summary: Great Introduction
Comment: This book is a great introduction into motorcycle repair. It also does a good job of explaining how different types of engines work. It has many pictures to help the reader understand the concepts being discussed. The book is very general becuase it tries to have wide applicabilty, but is great supplement for people who are just learning about motorcycle mechanics and repair.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too general for me
Comment: This book reminds me of a children's book in its style. While it does give good information, one would be better suited to go with the Essential guide to Motorcycle Maintenance. This book has lots of pictures, but too little text. You will rapidly "outgrow" this book. Mark Zimmerman's book is one that you can "grow into."
Customer Rating:
Summary: Printed in China
Comment: A pretty basic book which unbeknownst to me when I placed my order is printed in China on cheap stock. I try to buy made/printed in the USA products when possible and never buy Chinese. I know it's hard to do but I don't need anything badly enough to sell out my beliefs for a couple of dollars in savings for a lower quality product. Save your money. I'm sending this one back.
