====== Technical books & links ====== Over the past year I have been asked to describe all manner of Technical details regarding the care & alterations to our beloved FZR's of all sizes. The following list is provided as a basis of learning more about bike engineering and modification. It is aimed at those who do ** not** necessarily have an engineering background but would like to take their knowledge of things bike to a new level. I have read all of these books and some of them are rarely far from my reach. If you suffer from insomnia these books will keep you **awake** ^ ^ | **[[http://fzronline.com/wiki/doku.php|RETURN TO MAIN PAGE]]** | ^ ^ ==== Bike Related Technical Book List : ==== ---- | |||| ^ Title ^ author ^ ISBN ref No. ^ Comment ^ Date Added ^ ^ Haynes FZR repair Manual | John Haynes | 1 85960 370 X | THE BOOK on FZR maintenance | 2008-11-09 ^ ^ ^^^^^ | CLYMER, HAYNES & OEM MANUAL Erratum Pages ^^^^^ ^ please check here for mis-prints that could lead to disaster when you use a manual ^^^^^ | Chapter 4 Section 2 Page 18 the timing mark picture is upside down !!!! ^^^^^ ^ Motorcycle Electrical Systems: Troubleshooting and Repair | Tracey Martin | ISBN-10: 0760327165 | Motor cycle electrics trouble shooting | 2009-10-20 | | |||| ^ Motorcycle Tuning 4 strokes | John Robinson | not known | 4 stroke theory & tuning tips | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ Motorcycle Tuning 2 strokes | John Robinson | 0 434 91741-9 | good basis for carb theory | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ Sports Bike Performance Handbook | Kevin Cameron | 0 7903 0229-4 | aimed at fast riders | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ Racing Motorcycle a Technical guide to constructors VOL.1 | John Bradley | 0 9512929 2 7 | construction theory | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ The Racing Motorcycle a Technical guide to constructors VOL.2 | John Bradley | 0 9512929 3 5 | fabrication Techniques | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ Motorcycle Chassis Design | Tony Foale |[[http://www.tonyfoale.com]] | construction & theory of frames & bike handling | 2008-11-09 | | |||| ^ Exhaust and Intake Systems | Philip H.
