 Yamaha YZF & WRF Performance Projects - 4.5
I bought this book from another place, for my husband, X-mas 07'. I was pretty sure he would like it, but not 100%, being he's a truck mechanic & has worked on his own off-road bikes for 20+ years. However, things change & I thought there might be a new or better way to do something. So I bought it.
It's 126 pages with the last 4 pages being index & resources, with full address, phone & websites listed. The Contents Page & the edge of pages are color coded, which makes it easy to jump to any of the 5 sections. Example: Bike Setup is blue, Tire & Wheels is green, Engine is red, etc.
There's a total of 21 projects. Every project is at the top of the page & lists the following details. TIME: 15-45 min, TOOLS: 10 & 12-mm sockets, TALENT: 1 star=easy, 4 stars=hard, TAB: $100-$150, PARTS: tires, tubes, TIP: first thing to do on new bike, BENEFIT: more traction = better acceleration.
In my opinion, this book is very well laid out, easy to read & has lots of big pictures. It also has a Troubleshooting Guide for Forks and Shocks & Parts List, with contact information. Hubby did read it & does like it. Although, he hasn't use it, due to winter & no need for it at the moment. He did say this book had good information & helpful tips.
Overall... Yes, I would recommend this book to any newbie. I think it would be an excellent learning tool for them. As for the amateur, they would already know things, but still a good way to learn some great tips.
