This is the first comprehensive service/repair handbook offered to owners of this extremely successful family of competition motocross bikes. Coverage is included for all 250-501cc bikes from 1968 through 1975. The manual is written by a top technical writer with hundreds of original photos and illustrations especially prepared for this manual. This is a book for active bike enthusiasts. Glance through it. Carry it along as standard equipment. It’s a good feeling to understand what’s happening below you – and an even better one to realise you can get inside if necessary and make repairs. More than 70% of bike problems stem from poor tuning, misadjustment, or loosening caused by vibration. Most of these troubles can be cleared up quickly with simple tools – if you know what to do. Clymer motorcycle books offer detailed step-by-step procedures for servicing, troubleshooting, repair, and major overhaul. Material has been painstakingly gathered and edited by top technical writers who are also bike enthusiasts. Text is illustrated by the best available photos and drawings, all keyed to the appropriate paragraph. Clymer is the world’s largest publisher of books devoted exclusively to motorcycles and automobiles.
