## Description

No longer the simple machines they used to be, the modern motorcycle is as complex and diverse as the modern car. In an ever more competitive market, manufacturers are looking for new solutions to old problems – what’s the most efficient transmission? How can emissions and fuel consumption be cut without affecting power? And how can new models be differentiated from one another?
This book explains how the modern motorcycle works, in a straightforward style that’s jargon-free and easy to read. It assumes no prior mechanical knowledge, simply an interest in a motorcycle’s workings, and an open mind. The text is accompanied by superb cutaway illustrations from the major motorcycle manufacturers, clearly showing how individual components and systems function. It covers the latest innovations, including traction control and pushbutton gear change, as well as long-established technologies, such as fuel injection and ABS.
How Your Motorcycle Works will not transform you into a motorcycle engineer or expert mechanic, but in explaining precisely how everything works, it will increase your understanding, and thus enjoyment, of the machine.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice to brush up
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 April 2020*

A nice easy read during lockdown. Brushing up on my knowledge. Well written, informative and easy to understand. Nice work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alright little book.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 July 2013*

For the price and size of the book it's an ok purchase. Covers a tiny bit of every subsystem (frame, engine, etc.) at a non technical level. It can be read in a couple of hours with ease, so don't expect it to be a study book. For someone looking for a deeper understanding I suggest the Motorcycle Basics Techbook (Haynes Techbooks).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent .
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 November 2024*

This book contains numerous helpful illustrations. It is very well set out and highly readable. You will get some great information here and it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the magical journey that is motorcycles. Great!
