If you've got a dirt bike, you ought to have this book

I bought this book on the recommendation of Dirt Rider magazine who listed it as one of their 20 'must have' products of 1997. They're not wrong. This book is a concise and well written guide for the home mechanic. While it doesn't have the detailed frame by frame guidance of a manual specifically for your bike, it's got lots of good information on how your bike works and why. Topics covered vary from basic maintenance and bike setup through to maintaining forks and transmission disassembly. For tasks such as shock rebuilds that your average owner is not likely to perform in their garage, the approach is to make you an informed consumer of specialist services. Both two strokes and four strokes are covered. There is a chapter which I think many owners will find very useful on best value mods for your bike. The four Japanese manufacturers are covered, with most MX bikes from 92-96 listed. The KDX200 (83-96), RMX 250 (89-95) and some XR tuning tips are also included in this section. If you're into off-road motorcycling you're likely to find this book very handy to have.
