Product Description
A motorcycle’s electrical system can be daunting to even the most adept home mechanic. And yet, the more complex these systems become?and the more important to a motorcycle’s function?the more useful, even critical, it will be to know something about them. That’s where this book comes in with a user-friendly guide to understanding, diagnosing, and fixing the electrical systems and components that make a bike run . . . or falter.

Veteran technician Tracy Martin explains the principles behind motorcycle electrical systems and how they work. He details the various tools, such as multimeters and test lights, that can be used to evaluate and troubleshoot any vehicle's electrical problem. And in several hands-on projects, he takes readers on a guided tour of their vehicle’s electrical system, along the way giving clear, step-by-step instructions for diagnosing specific problems.

5 out of 5 stars I knew nothing about electrical systems before this book   January 7, 2008

Im very happy that i bought this book. I have to dispell the one reviewer whom was upset about the fact he went over his fluke multi meter.. I dont think it was a sales pitch at all. He was just explaining the product so you could follow along. YES this made me want to throw away my crappy multi meter.. If your new to this kinda home mechanic kinda stuff i would recommend this book!!!

I bought Tracy Martin's other book on automotive electrics, and as a motorcyclist, I was really excited when this book came out. It's more of the same high quality of work. He's got a real knack for explaining concepts in plain language I can understand easily. His illustrations are also very easy to follow. This book is great because there are lots of new material on motorcycle specific topics such as battery tenders, accessories, rebuilding starters, points ignition (where else can you find a current book that covers points???), and fuel injection.

I don't do much with electrical stuff on my motorcycle, usually take it to the dealer. This book made made it easy to understand the electrical system on my bike. I like the chapter on wiring diagrams. This chapter really explained how to read the wiring diagrams. Good info on motorcycle batteries as well. I would recommend the book, even if you don't plan on doing your own electrical repairs.
