ok
| Customer Rating: | | honestly, i wish it was better, but unfortunately this is the best book on the market:( |
Nice text, crappy pictures
| Customer Rating: | I like the technical written content of this book. It has a lot of practical tips and information on maintaining a scooter. Unfortunately, the black and white pictures are grainy and dark. That, coupled with the cheap materials used for this paperback book make them darn near unusable. I would say I could really make out the detail in only about 2/3 of the pictures. On many, I had no idea what I was looking at.
Still, this is a useful volume which I'm sure will help me, as I work on my own scooter. |
Haynes Service Manual
| Customer Rating: | | This book is essential for the person attempting to maintain or repair their own scooter. When used in conjunction with "The Scooter Book" also by Haynes, these two books are pretty much all that one needs when maintaining and repairing their own scooter. To me not as readable as "The Scooter Book", it is still essential to own as it contains the more technical aspects of servicing your scooter. It is a must have for the scooter owner determined to do it themselves! |
Great for an overview of how to service scooters.
| Customer Rating: | Despite the different makes and models of scooters, there are many similarities between them. This book takes advantage of that, and instructs you on how to service the various components generally, and not specifically; service information specific to a particular make and model is not given. For example, in chapter 10 ("Electrical Systems") figure 7.1: "Wiring diagram for a typical turn signal system". Diagrams specific to each scooter model are not given. The idea here is after reading the manual, you should be sufficiently familiar with the components of a scooter that when you service yours you won't have too much difficulty, even if your scooter's engine and drivetrain isn't exactly like the one in the pictures. This does mean that there isn't a lot of hand-holding; if you want service details specific to your scooter model you'll have to buy the official service manual from the manufacturer (and pay the high prices).
The list of specific models covered by this book is derived from the "Data" section, where information (torque settings, bore and stroke, etc.) specific to each model is listed.
It would have been nice if time were taken to explain the operation of parts that are unique to scooters. For example, the variator (part of the CVT) is not something found on motorcycles and most cars. Chapter 6 (covering the transmission) explains how to remove and service the variator, but does not explain how it works. The addition of this information would strengthen the book considerably, as it would educate the reader as to the "why", and not just the 'how".
The content is a few years old, and more recent models are not included. This is something to keep in mind if you have a recent scooter with an unusual engine, such as a Yamaha C3, which is fuel-injected.
One thing to be aware of is this book is apparently written for a British audience (Haynes Publishing is a British company). This means that British English is used throughout, as opposed to American English. You'll see "spanner" instead of "wrench", "petrol" instead of "gasoline", "tyre" instead of "tire", "renew" instead of "replace", etc. This isn't a big deal, but may take some getting used to. Reference section 18 is about the MOT Test, which is given in England and not the U.S.A.
In all this is a very handy and useful reference. Combine this with parts diagrams for your particular scooter (obtainable online), and you should be prepared to tackle most service tasks. |
ET4 on the cover not represented.
| Customer Rating: | | The Lovely Pearl ET4 on the front cover is not one of the models covered, a bit misleading. If you have one of the later L.E.A.D.E.R. engines, any engine work should be doable, since the ET4 and the LX share the same engine. |
