How To: Fix American V-Twin Motorcycles (Paperback)

Maintaining and repairing a modern American motorcycle - no matter how good it is - requires certain mechanical skills. This new book form Wolfgang Publications covers all the skills needed to do basic maintence and repairs on your V-Twin motorcycle. From adjusting the clutch cable to installing brake pads, this book explains in both words and photos how to safely do your own work. Instead of taking the bike back to the dealer or shop where you bought it, you can roll it into your garage and get out the tools. Written by well known author Alan Mayes, this guide to basic repair explains not only how to repair and adjust various parts of the motorcycle, but how stuff works. Colored diagrams explain the brake hydraulics and the best way to adjust the primary chain. Additional chapters include information and diagrams needed to do a fork overhaul, install new shock absorbers, check the chassis alignment and adjust the final drive. Mayes even covers your choice of basic tools and any special tools needed along the way. There is no such thing as a maintenance free motorcycle. Learn how to do your own repairs in your own small shop with this new 144 page book from Wolfgang Publications.
