Each Haynes manual provides specific and detailed instructions for
performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case the Yamaha YZF-R6,
model years 1999 through 2002. Do-it-yourselfers will find this
service and repair manual more comprehensive than the factory
manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box. A
typical Haynes manual covers: general information; troubleshooting;
lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top end; engine lower
end; primary drive, clutch and external shift mechanism;
transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine management
system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt; front
suspension and steering; rear suspension; brakes; body, and color
wiring diagrams. An index makes the manual easy to navigate.

headquarters for around 500,000 motorcyclists and a motorized
carnival, the largest annual party in the Daytona area. This
scrapbook has over 400 full-color photographs of exceptional bikes
and their devoted owners, body art and leather gear, and snapshots
of bike races, crazy contests, and classic moments in hangouts like
Dirty Harry's, the Boot Hill Saloon, and Bike Week's famous beer
tents.

Motorcycle Engineering is a primer and technical introduction for
anyone interested in motorcycles, motorcycling, and the motorcycle
industry. It provides insight into how motorcycles are made and
operated. Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are important factors
in world transport, and they are playing an increasingly important
role in transport policy as we move towards greater environmental
awareness. Motorcycles and scooters give freedom of personal
transport that enable large commuter distances to be covered
quickly and easily. Their small footprint offers easy storage as
only minimal space is required. To celebrate the importance of
motorcycles on the world stage, a brief history is included with a
detailed timeline detailing the development of the motorcycle
alongside major world events. Written in an accessible fashion, no
previous knowledge of engineering or technology is required, as all
technical terms are readily explained and a glossary and
abbreviation list is included. Whether you are an enthusiast,
racer, student, or industry professional, you will surely find this
an enjoyable read and a handy reference book on your shelf.

The Veloce company is well regarded for producing some of the best
single-cylinder motorcycles in race form and for private use. It is
not so well-known that Veloce Ltd also produced some twin-cylinder
machines: the Roarer, for racing, and the Model O for production.
These bikes had many engineering features in common, such as twin
contra-rotating crank shafts, inline cranks, shaft drive, and swing
arm rear suspension. The supercharged Roarer was never raced
because of the advent of war; this also put paid to the development
of the Model O, which would have been the first so-called
"Superbike." After the war, the Goodman family, owners of Veloce
Ltd, focused on the production of a "Motorcycle for Everyman" - an
idea that had featured in their production bikes since the
formation of the company. They drew on the ideas embodied in the
Roarer and the Model O to produce the twin cylinder LE range of
motorcycles. These, however, were not well received by the
motorcycling public, and many blame the production of the LE for
the eventual demise of the company. The purpose of the book is to
present, from an engineering perspective, an analysis of the Roarer
and the Model O, comparing and contrasting the methods adopted by
their designers to meet the different design specifications of
these bikes, and to illustrate how the ideas developed in this
exercise appeared in the LE range of motorcycles. The authors,
Brian Agnew and Ivan Rhodes, met in the 1960s when Brian worked at
Rolls-Royce Derby. They spent their weekends tinkering with
motorcycles, and both have an intimate knowledge of the Velocette
twins both from their time spent together and from their personal
projects.

The story of Moto Guzzi is a story of survival. As one of Italy's
oldest, and most legendary marques, Moto Guzzi had seen the height
of success during the 1930s, and then the 1950s when they dominated
250 and 350cc Grand Prix racing. Their withdrawal from racing
coincided with a period of stagnation until the company was sold to
De Tomaso in 1973. During the 1970s the V7 Sport and Le Mans were
at the forefront of the new superbike era, and later, with Dr John
Wittner's help, embraced contemporary technology with the 1000cc
Daytona. If one aspect characterises Moto Guzzi it is continuity.
The great 500cc Falcone single ran from 1950 until 1976, and the
V7, originally seeing the light of day in 1967, continued well into
the 2010s. This continuity breeds loyalty, and Guzzi owners are a
fiercely proud breed. Guzzis are not like other motorcycles, even
Italian ones, and to qualify as a Guzzi owner requires a dedication
and individuality that will be rewarded in a long term
relationship.

Most of the many available books about Triumph motorcycles
concentrate on the bigger Bonneville and Trident ranges. Yet
alongside these headline-grabbing bikes, Triumph also built a
series of smaller 350 and 500cc machines that possessed all the
style of their bigger brothers, but were lighter in weight, easier
to ride, and now cheaper to buy, too.This straightforward,
practical Essential Buyer's Guide contains all the advice you need
on buying one of these classic motorcycles, from the earliest
Twenty-one, to the final Daytona and TR5T. It reveals what these
bikes are like to live with, assesses the values, advantages and
disadvantages of the different models, plus, of course explains
what to look for when buying one a engine, transmission, frame,
brakes, electrics, paint a? everything you need to know!"
Few decades are as momentous, and memorable, as the 1970s. The
years 1970-79 were rich, exciting and, for today's fifty and
sixty-somethings, a formative period of motorcycling in Britain. It
was an era that saw the passing of the baton from British to
Japanese manufacturers: Norton, BSA and Triumph were overtaken by
Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki. Before long, multi-cylinder
'superbikes', such as the GT750, the XS750 and the GS1000, became
the bikes idolised on many bedroom walls. In bike sport, Barry
Sheene surpassed the old guard of Mike Hailwood and Phil Read,
while heroes such as Evel Knievel secured motorcycling's place in
popular culture. Celebrating fifty of the decade's best bikes,
journalist Phil West remembers all of this and more in this
fascinating book.
