As the technology of modern motorcycles becomes increasingly complex, this book provides insights into high-performance engines and their mechanics, camshaft design, charge exchange and combustion, digital engine controls, ABS, and traction control systems. These topics require explanations, as do the physical principles related to ride stability, oscillation, and other critical riding conditions. However, one does not need to be a master mechanic or have studied mechanical engineering to understand the book. Well-founded yet clear and comprehensible, the author addresses both professionals and technology-enthusiast motorcyclists who want to know everything about the fundamentals and development of modern high-performance motorcycles. A new chapter on "Electricity and Electronics" has been added, as the importance of this topic has become significant in the motorcycle world.
