I am a novice "wrench man" for my two teenage boys on YZ250F's. This book gave me good direction and confience to undertake mechanical projects I have never dared before. Sure, this book might be "old hat" for seasoned, veteran mechanics, but it is indespensible for those of us just getting our feet wet.

I read through the book, and, I like it. The book includes good information about pit bikes. Some of the information can even be applied larger machines. The 'Mini Motocross and Pit Bike Performance Handbook' is good addition to my mechanic resource library.

Whether it's geared up for racing, tricked out as a pit bike, used to teach kids how to ride, or simply to take a spin, the small motorcycle takes as much care as its full-size counterpart. This book, by one of the world's foremost off-road motorcycle builders, tells you everything you need to know to keep your mini-motocross or playbike running smoothly, safely, and, of course, in style. This comprehensive handbook, the first of its kind, covers a variety of models--mini motocross racers from 50cc to 100cc, and small playbikes from 50cc to 250cc. A complete buying guide helps readers determine which of the small motorcycles best suit their needs. The book provides clearly detailed information on maintenance schedules, procedures, and the tools, materials, and space you'll need. Going that extra mile, Forward Motion's Eric Gorr offers model-specific suggestions for modifying the bikes to improve performance on and off the racetrack. He also includes sample builds of some of the most popular race and playbikes on the market.

Motocross and Off-Road Motorcycle Setup Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

This book contains some good tips, but also a few technical errors. Minor oversights in proofreading perhaps but they are worth noting here as this book will no doubt be read by aspiring off-road enthusiasts, not seasoned veterans. On page 81 in the inset piece titled "Is my clutch toast?", the author states that a worn or stretched clutch cable will cause your clutch to slip, when in fact just the opposite will occur. If there's too much free-play in the cable your clutch pack will not be fully disengaged with the lever pulled in, causing it to "drag" when a gear is selected. The other error of note is on page 95 regarding the carburetor air mixture screw function. The author states that turning an air screw in will make the mixture leaner when in fact, the air screw turned in reduces the air flow, which makes the air/fuel ratio richer.

Very informative with info on what each modification does to two-stroke power. You will understand just about the whole inner workings of a two-stroke motor once you read this book thoughly. Some paragraphs you may need to read twice, just because they contain so much info.
