Clymer manuals set the standard of after-market repair and maintenance books. Detailed step by step procedures and lots of pictures and diagrams guide you through every process. Recently updated! All books are soft cover. This book covers every component and system on the bike, and teaches you how to do everything from routine maintenance to a major engine overhaul. There are even creative suggestions for alternatives when special factory tools are not available. As we have said often, there hasn't been a manual written yet that answers every conceivable question or solves every problem that might arise - particularly considering the wide diversity of skill level among amateur mechanics. But among the books out there, the Clymer manuals have consistently proven themselves the most thorough, accurate, and user friendly of the bunch. We recommend them whole-heartedly!
