"Ever wonder what compression ratio or ignition timing really was?  This book will give you enough basic theory to understand what his suggested hop-up techniques are achieving and why.  Even if you don't intend to modify your bike at all, the book is excellent for reference."         - Cycle Buyers Guide, 1973.

"... just about everything you need to know to get maximum performance from a stock engine... "Tuning for Performance" contains cogent explanations of the operation and adjustment of carburetion, ignition and gearing.  It has a very useful chart indicating the percentage of effect that air pressure (altitude is air pressure too) has on jetting...                 -Cycle News.

This is a very informative book.  You can see the age of this book by the yellow pages.  It is mostly clean but the first part of it has a large water stain at the bottom; it is not affecting any of the information.  The pages are well separated from each other and there is no bad smell to it.  Excellent binding.
