Book Review: Motorcycle Electrical Systems – Troubleshooting and Repair
Electrical systems can be intimidating to work on. When there is a problem hiding in your wiring harness or a switch somewhere on your bike it may seem like an unruly herd of gremlins has crawled under your fairings and started to party. However, once you gain a basic understanding of electricity and how it works it will go a long way to reducing electrical system anxiety.
The Motorbooks book entitled Motorcycle Electrical Systems – Troubleshooting and Repair by Tracy Martin, is a good source for beginners to get a basic grasp of the fundamentals of electricity using simple, straight-forward language and well thought out diagrams. It’s not all academic, however. This book covers most of the important electrical systems in most types of motorcycles and explains how to test their function, troubleshoot the problems and how to repair them.
In the end, this is another good selection from Motorbooks. If you are always pawning the electrical work on your bike off to your buddy because you can’t seem to figure it out this should be your first stop in learning to do it yourself.
Motorcycle Electrical Systems by Tracy Martin is available through Motorbooks.com
