Product Description
First published in 1996, Eric Gorr's guide to maximizing stock motocross and off-road motorcycles and building factory race replicas has become the definitive work on the subject. This all-new edition is extensively revised to cover all bikes built from 1985 through 1999, including: the Powerjet carbureted Honda CR250 and CR125; the new Yamaha four-stroke YZ400F and WR400F; and all other new-for-1999 bikes. KTM competition bikes and the Kawasaki KLX300 four-stroke will also be covered. Step-by-step instructions and a generous selection of exclusive photography show how to maintain, modify, and set-up every component, and how to correct common flaws. Advice is also provided for buying used bikes, setting up a shop at home, and preparing for race day. Eric Gorr is a professional motocross tuner and the author of the original Motocross & Off-Road Motorcycle Performance Handbook.

 Buy the 3rd edition instead... June 16, 2006
Coffee (California)
Bottom line - well worth the money, but there is a 3rd edition available. I ordered the 2nd edition by mistake and returned it. The 3rd edition is in color and MUCH easier to read. 3rd edition has a 'bit' more 4 stroke info but not enough to justify buying the 3rd edition if you have the 2nd.
Good book. Good for beginners and as a reference for the experienced.
You may want to take some of the things he says with a "grain of salt" or "does this apply to me" attitude though. Page 22 has a Maintenance Interval Chart that suggests changing the transmission oil every 2 hours and a top end rebuild every 10 hours - or less depending on riding conditions. Not sure I want to change the oil in the middle of a 4-hour easy trail ride. Yes it probably is supposed to apply to 2 strokes on the mx track but he does not state that.
Just buy it.

 Reasonable basic book August 29, 2005

not a bad book for most two stroke motorcycles, however the book is very poor when it comes to modern four stroke machines which exist today, it discusses the likes of xrs, which would be very out of date with yzfs and crfs of modern times. but all in all worth the price

I have 2 boys who race MX and off road and I race off road and we do most of our own repair and tuning work. This book makes it much easier. It goes way past the repair manual with time saving tips and necessary illustrations. The tuning stuff is completely missing from the repair manual. I don't know if this is THE best book to have in the garage but it works for me. I've read it almost all through and highly recommend it to someone who races or pits for a racer.
Good solid stuff. August 15, 2003

Eric Gorr's book is a great help to all dirtbike owners. In addition to your bikes workshop manual it should cover absolutely EVERYTHING you will ever need to do to your bike.The writing is good, it's organized and to the point. There are specific sections for all the major models.
This is one of the better tecnical books I own, and I highly recommend it.
