Motorcycle Electrical Techbook (Haynes Techbook)

Electrical tech book was what I needed to solve the charging faults on my bike.

I wish I had bought this years ago. It would have saved me a lot of head-scratching! It covers most all of what an owner needs to know to understand how their bike wiring works. It can be technical in places. but at least you are not left short on the details.

great to keep in the workshop for ref.

I like the layout, for an example: The 2 chapters about charging, direct current generators and altornators is actually four individual parts with one about the direct current generators for it self and three parts about the three types of alternators, which means that you can find your charging system, and learn how it works. It's all illustrated and explaned, it all starts with the basics, so even the beginner has a fair chance of learning. Therefore i give it 4 stars.

Great book with all the basics and more

How to repair electrical work in car

I found this book excellent. You need to read it a couple of times and study it to get a good overview of motorcycle electrics.It is very detailed in some aspects which you may or may not want to know.It will make a good reference book and in my opinion its is value for money.

A nice easy read, it explained everything that l was looking for , in plain easy layman's terms, from simple to complex systems ,well worth the money

Well written text covering the whole electrical ambit of modern motorcycles (and some older). The writer makes few assumptions regarding the reader's knowledge of electric motor & dynamo/alternator principles,and provides a good basic explanation of electron and electrical theory, electromagnetism and semiconductors. He even discusses basic 2/4 stroke theory, the stoichiometric ratio (and lamda), fuel injection and ABS. The theory presented lightens the mystery of the black box CDI e.g., although I wouldn't want to tackle and repair a fault in an ABS - but at least I now have a working knowledge of what makes it tick. Apart from the practical application of the theory, the text provides a good grounding for further more specific (and heavier) reading. For what it's worth, I would recommend this book to anyone as a general interest volume leading to a better understanding of what makes the beasts tick, or as practical background when fault finding and fixing.

The book is good, it offers plenty of information for beginners and there are many pictures and illustrations to help with the reading. Only letdown for me is that the pages are too thin and what is printed on the back of the page comes through too easily. See pic. Very annoying.

All electrical chapters that you need to understand motorcycle electrical systems

Very good book if you want to start learning about fundamentals of motorcycle electrical components.

Either you are curious, technician, engineer or teacher, you must have this book. The explanations are cristal clear, very complete and go from the basics to the complicated stuff with a lot of schemas and no bla bla. A true masterpiece! All the teachers around the world should get inspired by Tony Tranter (the author).
