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
