And yet, the more complex these systems become—and the more important to a motorcycle’s function—the more useful, even critical, it will be to know something about them. That’s where this book comes in with a user-friendly guide to understanding, diagnosing, and fixing the electrical systems and components that make a bike run . . . or falter. Veteran technician Tracy Martin explains the principles behind motorcycle electrical systems and how they work. He details the various tools, such as multimeters and test lights, that can be used to evaluate and troubleshoot any vehicle's electrical problem. And in several hands-on projects, he takes readers on a guided tour of their vehicle’s electrical system, along the way giving clear, step-by-step instructions for diagnosing specific problems. Review quote:American Rider, December 2007 “It’s written in a friendly, conversational manner in layman’s language, not dry engineer-speak … I co-authored an electrical troubleshooting manual for Haynes some years ago, so I have some experience with this subject. Mr. Martin has done an excellent job providing the basic principles involved with motorcycle electrical systems in an applicable, practical and useful manner … We recommend it for anyone who works on Harleys, or wants to learn more about how they work.” Motorcycle Consumer News, October 2007 “Provides a sound foundation for any enthusiast to work on their electrical systems … His explanations and illustrations are botIron Works, May 2007 “Tracy Martin explains the principals behind 12 and 6-volt motorcycle electrical systems. Electrical theory is kept to a minimum as the author focuses on a more practical, hands-on approach to explaining an otherwise complex topic.” “Author Tracy Martin presents a fun, easy-to-understand talk on how electricity works on your motorcycle, how to read a wiring diagram and covers the basics of 12-volt motorcycle electricity.”
