Preface:

• Motorcycles are an established part of the trans- portation system in the world. As the number of motorcycles purchased in the United States has approached one million each year, the need to provide maintenance for all those machines has increased in importance.
• Many technical schools have started programs to train motorcycle mechanics. A motorcycle mechanics program was developed at Northern Virginia Community College in 1973.
• One major problem then was the lack of an adequate writ- ten theory and practical mechanical step-by-step instruction text for a student to follow in learning motorcycle mechanics.
• This book evolved from our attempt to solve that problem. Motorcycle Mechanics has been written to provide the student mechanic or motorcycle owner with basic theory, practical inspection, and repair techniques to accomplish a thorough, safe, and successful maintenance and repair process.
• As this text was drafted, revised, rewritten, and expanded, a good number of people and organizations helped us with the project.
• We wish to thank Linda Potts for her clerical efforts, Dave Sessums for his technical advice, and the companies for their assistance in this project: particularly, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.: Triumph Norton Inc.; Pacific Basic Trading Co. for Hodaka Motorcycles: U. S. Suzuki Motors Corp.: Kawasaki Motors Corp.; AMF Harley- Davidson Motor Co.:
• Yamaha International Corp.: AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors; Intertec Publishing Corp.: Clymer Publications; Fairfax Honda, Fairfax, VA; San Luis Cyclery, San Luis Obispo, CA: and the Sports Center, San Luis Obispo, CA. GEORGE LEAR LYNN S. MOSHER
