Take it apart, do stuff, then put it back together again better than it was - hopefully. This book will show you how.

Teaches readers how to evaluate their engines and how to assess what work you can undertake yourself, and what is best left to a specialist. The great attraction of the two-stroke is its enormous potential, contrasted with its appealing simplicity. Armed with little more than a set of files, you can make profound changes to the output power of a two-stroke. But these changes will increase the power only if you know what you are doing. This book is designed to guide readers through the necessary stages which can enable a stock roadster engine to be turned into a machine capable of winning open-class races, for an outlay which is positively low by racing standards.

The author explains how various stages of engine tune are reached, and describes typical development work with enough theory to devise a practical development programme. The phenomena described are all known to work - the trick is making them all work together. Engine development is slow and expensive, but the results can be very rewarding, both in competition and in the sheer pleasure of using a motor which is crisp and perfectly set up. Although it is not possible to make all-round engine improvements, other than those gained by careful assembly to the exact stock tolerances, improvements in one area can be "traded" for losses in another: increases in high-speed power balanced perhaps against losses in low-speed power, engine flexibility and reliability. John Robinson takes the reader through the processes which are necessary to make your four-stroke run perfectly.

Anyone who has ridden more than three bikes will know that there are differences - sometimes big differences - in the way they react. Anyone who has tinkered with suspension and tyres will know that it is possible to make big differences with small changes. And that other changes (usually the adjustment provided by the manufacturer) make practically no difference at all. It is a subject which is difficult to quantify. Some people have a natural feeling for it, some do not. When a good mechanic understands how a part works and can visualize what is happening to it, he can work out how to adjust it. For many it is not a natural feel, in fact it is usually the opposite, a long drawn-out sequence of trial and, mostly, error. This book is one of three editions of John Robinson's "Tuning" series which contain easy-to-use computer programs.
