|
|
Can anyone recommend any good reference books for on-road motorcycle repair/maintenance? Preferably something suited to an idiot. Looking to give myself at least the basic skills so that I can repair a puncture / change a chain etc if I need to. |

Rate off topic because rules r rules, init (workshop or general bike chat, probably).
Only general manuals I know off are Haynes and then there's haynes manual specific for motorbikes; or, if you're lucky, digitalized PDF versions available from google (that is manuals specific for your bike).
Your bike handbook, providing you've got one, should cover the basics: well, tell you what things should be adjusted to at least.
Motorcycles basic textbook, motorcycle maintenance tech-book and there's another I can be arsed to dig out form wherever it is (that's the three general haynes manuals).
Second best thing is if you don't know what you're doing at least now when something needs doing: don't be ignorant to sticking brakes etc.
In terms of maintenance this time of year it's probably cleaning the calipers regularly, lubing chain and fighting off road salt. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |
