      The Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance - Terrance White

      Introduction

      Owning a motorcycle has been a transition. First off, the dirt biker resides in each of us. The desire to thrash around in the mud and the clay is almost instinctive. Getting those tires throwing huge clods as you dive into a deep turn or breaking the clutch free in a wheelie spray of muck and mire is so liberating. Climbing hills and jumping ridges are a liberating experience. If the dirt bike is your course, it is a great choice. Go get to it!

      Or perhaps the practical cruiser is more your style.  Puttering around town, avoiding snarls of traffic, commuting for an economic price, there is nothing better. Whip into parking, jump out and take some highway or country curves casually. The freedom and the openness of the street bike for commerce and practical purposes are unmatched by any car or SUV out there. The bike simply is synonymous with the freedoms of the open road.

      Then again, perhaps the performance is your purpose. The big v-twins or the granddaddy hardtails all give you the opportunities to own the road. All the way to Sturgis, or just to the beach or the mountains for a getaway, the road hogs, and crotch rockets are all fit for the ultimate escape alternative.

      So, this booklet will be just an eye opener, a shot over the bow of bike ownership and maintenance, Because everyone has to start somewhere, and who doesn’t want to take advantage of the trials other riders have faced, in order to protect themselves from the challenges that taking on such a big responsibility can entail?

      So grab some soap and water, some waterproofing and boot polish, and let’s get the wheels ready for the road, shall we?

      It will be one helluva ride.

      Chapter One: What is a First-Timer’s Guide?

      In this chapter, you will learn:

      The purpose and intent of this book

      The narrow line between simple and sublime

      Simple steps that make Motorcycle Maintenance a life-changing experience.

      What do you expect to find here? The pages of this book are filled with the core concepts of keeping a motorcycle on the road. That part, some would argue, is a difficult enough task on its own, because though an owner of a motorcycle has access to an owner’s manual, and most likely one or more friends or associates that have experience working with an on them. So picking such a book to help seems daunting. Because either the author delves too deeply into the life experience of a motorcycle enthusiasts, and leaves the first-timer confused, as they simply don’t have enough information to process the book, or the concepts are so fundamental as to be simply redundant, regurgitating what the reader would have found in the owner’s manual and giving the reader nothing new of value.

      It's a Sticky Sprocket.

      So this work is created, not simply as the latter, nor as the former. It is not an ‘insider guide’ – with new or abstract help that only a veteran bike aficionado can comprehend, nor is it just a pamphlet outlining the ultra-basics to insult the more savvy rider and repairman.

      It is, on the other hand, something of an introspective, speaking of the basics, but not as sheer routine actions, but rather as a broader-spectrum consideration of the why of keeping your motorcycle road-worthy, and a deeper dive into the metaphysical value and purpose for each sub-category of motorcycle maintenance and repair.

      Holistic thought holds that who we are and what we do are directly linked. We maintain motorcycles, not just because we want a functional bike, but also because we see the value of the steps in not only fixing malfunctions but in improving who we are in the process.  So it is that we become better at being ourselves, repairing and maintaining who we are in the very process of working on the
