Customer comments on this selection.
 As Essential as a shop manual
In addition to Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well and a shop manual, I consider this book to be a must buy for any rider. Taken as a supplement to a shop manual, this book's mix of generalized how-to and how-it-works demystify a lot of the "installation is the reverse of these steps" and "Turn this screw for reasons we will never explain" instructions in the shop manual. This manual is really the difference between just following steps and actually understanding why you're doing what you're doing. Zimmerman is a great, engaging writer too which makes the book a real pleasure to read.
 Motorcycle Maintenance review
The book is a detailed overview of motorcycle repairs. Well written and easy enough to go through - a few more diagrams or photos may have helped but then it would be too easy!
By far the best "Do it yourself maintenance" book.
This book is by far the best I've ever seen and better than I hoped for. It explains with color pictures how things work and why along with tips for getting the job done. Although this book is great for beginners it is also good for intermediately skilled do it your self folks with its in depth explanations.
A remarkably well-balanced book
Writing a book on a subject like this, with tens of makes and hundreds of models on the market, is a balancing task. Mr. Zimmermann has made it remarkably well.
His examples are very carefully chosen, he always explains the basic principles, and he writes in such a relaxed manner, that you feel "at home" regardless of the make and mode of your own bike.
A very good complement to the service manual of your own bike - this with this book you are not stuck even if the quality of your manual is only tolerable.
Necessary to learn about motorcycles
This book in combination with the user manual for my bike are great. This bike explains everything for everyone. It is written for the not so mechanically inclined and tells you why and how things work on your bike. Great investment for those that are tired of paying excessive repair bills. Definately worth the price, not to mention it is a good read.
