Motorcycle Tuning - 4 Stroke, Second Edition

Motorcycle Tuning - 4 Stroke, Second Edition

• Used Book in Good Condition

This classic has been completely updated for the second edition. John Robinson, the Technical Editor of `Performance Bikes', explains how various stages of engine tune are reached, and describes typical development work with enough theory to devise a<br>practical development programme. The phenomena described are all known to work - the trick is making them all work together.<br><br><br> Engine development is slow and expensive, but the results can be very rewarding, both in competition and in the sheer pleasure of using a motor which is crisp and perfectly set up. Although it is not possible to make all-round engine improvements, other than those gained by careful assembly to the exact stock tolerances, improvements in one area can be `traded' for losses in another: increases in high-speed power balanced perhaps against losses in low-speed power, engine flexibility and reliability.<br>John Robinson takes the reader through the processes which are necessary to make your four-stroke run perfectly.
