Book Description

075061806X 978-0750618069 January 15, 1994 2
In this well established book, now brought up to date in a second edition, the Technical Editor of `Performance Bikes' shows you how to evaluate your engine, how to assess what work you can undertake yourself, and what is best left to a specialist.


The great attraction of the two-stroke is its enormous potential, contrasted with its appealing simplicity. Armed with little more than a set of files, you can make profound changes to the output power of a two-stroke. But these changes will increase the
power only if you know what you are doing. `Motor Cycle Tuning (Two-stroke)' will therefore guide you through the necessary stages which can enable a stock roadster engine can be turned into a machine capable of winning open-class races, for an outlay which is positively low by racing standards. Very few other books on engine development and most of these are either devoted to car engines or are out of date Promoted by PERFORMANCE BIKES

5.0 out of 5 stars The Two-Stroke explanied by extreme detail, July 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Motorcycle Tuning Two-Stroke, Second Edition (Paperback)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars I didn't find this helpful, November 17, 2002
This review is from: Motorcycle Tuning Two-Stroke, Second Edition (Paperback)
I'm very sorry to be negative but I did not like this book. I found that this book muddied the waters regarding two stroke engine operation more than providing any helpful insights. In my opinion Bell's book is a better practical guide, and Blair's book is the best of all for someone who wants to understand the processes involved in two stroke engine operation and then apply them.
