Title: Too bad it doesn't spend much time talking about maintenance
Review: I must say that I was disappointed at the misleading title of this book. I thought that it was more about maintenance issues, but instead it tries to cover the basics of "how a motorcycle works". I can think of MUCH better books on this topic, such as Kevin Cameron's "Sportbike Performance Handbook", which despite its title, really is more about motorcycle technology. Another great book on the topic would be Gaetano Cocco's "Motorcycle Design and Technology".The maintenance sections in this book suffer from being squeezed into the margins, with fairly small photographs, so that it is sometimes difficult to see what the author is really talking about. Of course, one cannot really fault this book alone, since most books on mechanics appear to suffer this fault.Bottom line: It's mostly about "how a bike works", and there are much better books out there on that subject. Too bad it doesn't cover maintenance in greater detail.
