 For every novice. August 26, 2009
Owen Hewetson
I am a novice "wrench man" for my two teenage boys on YZ250F's. This book gave me good direction and confience to undertake mechanical projects I have never dared before. Sure, this book might be "old hat" for seasoned, veteran mechanics, but it is indespensible for those of us just getting our feet wet.
Yamaha YZF & WRF Performance Projects Review June 30, 2009
Paul Meguess
Not nearly as detailed or as helpful as the CRF Performance Handbook, however, if you like Yamaha motorcycles you'll probably enjoy reading this book anyway. I'm glad I added it to my collection.
 Very basic information. November 23, 2008
M. Oxnam (USA)
I was a little disappointed by this book. I was expecting more technical information. For example; the project for suspension upgrade is little more than how to remove the components and send to a professional shop. This book might be ok if you are completely new to motorcycles. If your not a newbie spend your money on a shop manual.
Yamaha YZF & WRF Performance Projects - 4.5 March 28, 2008
Peaches (Redmond, WA.)
I bought this book from another place, for my husband, X-mas 07'. I was pretty sure he would like it, but not 100%, being he's a truck mechanic & has worked on his own off-road bikes for 20+ years. However, things change & I thought there might be a new or better way to do something. So I bought it.
It's 126 pages with the last 4 pages being index & resources, with full address, phone & websites listed. The Contents Page & the edge of pages are color coded, which makes it easy to jump to any of the 5 sections. Example: Bike Setup is blue, Tire & Wheels is green, Engine is red, etc.
There's a total of 21 projects. Every project is at the top of the page & lists the following details. TIME: 15-45 min, TOOLS: 10 & 12-mm sockets, TALENT: 1 star=easy, 4 stars=hard, TAB: $100-$150, PARTS: tires, tubes, TIP: first thing to do on new bike, BENEFIT: more traction = better acceleration.
In my opinion, this book is very well laid out, easy to read & has lots of big pictures. It also has a Troubleshooting Guide for Forks and Shocks & Parts List, with contact information. Hubby did read it & does like it. Although, he hasn't use it, due to winter & no need for it at the moment. He did say this book had good information & helpful tips.
Overall... Yes, I would recommend this book to any newbie. I think it would be an excellent learning tool for them. As for the amateur, they would already know things, but still a good way to learn some great tips.
