hi guys,
does anyone know of a really good book on how to teach yourself motorbike engine maintainance and repairs?.
i am after doing all repair work myself, (clutch, valves, cylinder etc) , i have got an old Z400 engine to practice on, but really would like a good book to learn how to do things properly.
i have found this one :
http://www.amazon.com/Clymer-Suzuki-LT-Z40...4531&sr=8-2

Any good ???.

Any help in this would be great.

Haven't tried that one, but this looks like the one I have been using:

It is a decent manual.

I have a Clymer manual and its amazazing.

i got that same book. get it.

"Four Stroke Performance Tuning," by A. Graham Bell, and the Honda Common Service Manual. Both are very good, and teach you alot about the principles involved, without getting specific about a certain model of motorcycle. Very, very good resources.

For repairs and maintenenace, the Honda Common Service Manual will be better. For performance-based work, the book by Bell will be better. Combined, they're both excellent.
