Highly recommended read

I just got my copy of the newly released second edition of Kevin Cameron's Sportbike Performance Handbook. I highly recommend it. If I had this book a couple a years ago I could have saved chasing my tail around a lot. Long time rider and car mechanic, I just switched over to wrenching bikes a few years ago. This was a real learning experience for me. I know it would help a lot of guys because I see the posts where they are struggling with things this book answers.

where did you get it i'vr been reading his page for 20 years and would love more info...i can google it but wanna see where you found it ...peace

You ain't kidding. Just reading the CW column he get's deep.

I bought a version of that book about 10 years ago. (It's the version with a cover shot of a ZX11 on the back wheel.)
Not sure how much has changed in the new release but that book has some useful stuff. Some of the theories in the engine section might require reading through a couple times to understand it.

When that book came out, we bought a copy for everyone that worked at APE.

The recent second edition definitely is more up to date.
