Design & Tuning for Motocross: Revised Edition

There are very few Kindle books about the technical side of motocross (or motorcycle technology) so I had hoped this would be worth the money.Unfortunately, it is littered with countless spelling mistakes, oddly hyphenated words and pictures that have captions that are impossible to read.There are no quotes or interviews from any of the famous people the author worked with, so the entire book is just his thoughts. His thoughts are moderately interesting but his writing style is extremely tedious to read.A lot of attention is placed on the late 1970's and early 1980's, which is fun to read about, but there is very little about modern technology other than the obvious things.This is an example of a book that feels like it was run through an OCR machine and never even read afterwards.

Helped in the understanding and application to our bike's suspension . Would recommend to anyone running motocross and needing info on suspension

Poorly edited with many spelling and grammatical errors and some disconnected paragraph.Found some engineering errors as well. I am not prone to trust anything in this book although some may be correct. There are too many errors otherwise.

informative

The book isn't bad, but it isn't going to help you design or tune anything today. It was out of date in 2000, really. For instance, there are good sections on the Fox Twin Clicker shock. Of course, you can't actually buy one of those any more, and haven't (new) for many years. The basic information is good on compression and rebound and spring rates, but other than general theory, it is not applicable to the bikes that are competitive today.I think it would be better if it were re-titled "A History of .... "

Great book
