Classic Motorcycles Restoration Guide (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual)

This is the fruit of hands-on experience gained in the workshop as well as knowledge gleaned over years of consulting books, manufacturers' manuals and specialist magazines by one of the leading technical journalists in the sector, Massimo Clarke.
It is intended as an easy-to-read guide with clear, precise contents regarding the restoration of classic bikes, with attention being focussed not on pre-war models but those from the Sixties and Seventies, those on which we still work most frequently today.

All aspects of restoration are dealt with, with special reference to mechanical work on the engines and the chassis components, those which enthusiasts can do themselves in their own garages, using tools that are easy to find at reasonable costs.

This updated edition of the book is enhanced by an in-depth examination of the reassembly of the crankcase and two new chapters dedicated to the final drive and the spark plugs. A guide of fundamental importance for those who want to "get their hands dirty" around their classic bikes.

Vintage Motorräder restaurieren: Die Klassiker der 50er- bis 70er-Jahre

Vintage motorcycles are becoming increasingly popular among motorcycle enthusiasts. But before these old machines can bring joy, they often have to be restored. The comparatively simple structure of vintage motorcycles makes the work easier for hobby mechanics. Nevertheless, in-depth knowledge of motorcycle technology and components is required to get hands-on with the work yourself.

In this manual, Massimo Clarke shares his comprehensive workshop knowledge for motorcyclists. He explains all the important repair and maintenance work that is often required on old motorcycles in an understandable and practical way. The individual steps are clearly explained and richly illustrated. This means that even a complete restoration can be carried out on your own.

From changing the timing belt to repairing the engine - owners of motorcycles from the 50s to the 70s can hardly avoid one repair or another. With this comprehensive manual, you can save yourself a trip to the workshop and therefore save money.
All important aspects of classic car restoration are reliably covered, especially the technology of the engine and chassis. Other chapters deal with work on the frame, transmission, fuel system, wheels and brakes. The repairs presented can be easily carried out in your own workshop and with inexpensive tools - so you can get your classic motorcycle back on the road quickly!
