{ "item_title" : "Modern Motorcycle Technology Handbook", "item_author" : [" Travis Brooks "], "item_description" : "Why Your Bike Is Misbehaving, And How to Know Exactly What to Fix.A motorcycle that won't idle cleanly, drops a cylinder under load, or refuses to hold a line through a corner is giving you information. This handbook teaches you to read it. Model-specific service manuals tell you which bolt to turn and to what torque rarely why the specification exists, and never what to do when the symptom doesn't match the flowchart. Meanwhile the machines have changed. Ride-by-wire throttles, multiplexed networks, lean-angle sensing, and high-voltage battery packs now sit alongside the piston and the spark plug, and most general references stop well before any of it. The gap between following a procedure and diagnosing a fault keeps widening. This handbook closes that gap. Fifteen chapters and four technical appendices form a single continuous line of reasoning from the first law of thermodynamics to a grid-connected battery pack. Every equation is developed rather than stated. Every worked example runs from given values to a final answer with units tracked at each step.By the end, you will be able to: Calculate compression ratio, thermal efficiency, and volumetric efficiency from dimensional data and explain what each figure means at the benchDetermine air-fuel requirements, interpret lambda and fuel trim, and calculate injector pulse width from first principlesAdjust a chassis with intention: static sag, spring rate, preload, trail, and motion ratio not by trial and errorApply a six-step diagnostic process, interpret live data and DTCs, and read oscilloscope waveforms with confidenceExplain electric operation end to end: motor control, inverter switching, cell chemistry, battery management, and high-voltage safety practiceCoverage includes: engine construction and materials - fuel and ignition systems - engine management - lubrication and cooling - clutch, gearbox, and final drive - chassis and suspension - braking and ABS - electrical and charging systems - CAN bus and network communication - sensors and rider aids - professional diagnostics - planned maintenance and overhaul - two full chapters on electric and hybrid powertrains including fuel cells and solid-state batteries - torque specifications, unit conversions, wiring colour codes, and a DTC reference appendix.Generic rather than model-specific, it stays useful across machines and model years. Written for the working technician who wants the theory behind the procedure, the enthusiast who maintains their own machine, and the vocational student who needs one reference from fundamentals through to electric drivetrains. Basic algebra assumed; calculus not required.Open the handbook and begin diagnosing from understanding rather than from guesswork.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/226/9798192269787_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "99.99", "online_price" : "99.99", "our_price" : "99.99", "club_price" : "99.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
