The Workshop Handbook — Volume II of the Moto Guide Archive
The jobs a dealer charges the most for are rarely the hardest ones. They are the ones nobody shows you. The Workshop Handbook is the second volume of the Moto Guide Archive: diagnostics, the front end, fuelling and the work you can genuinely do at home — with the tool that replaces each invoice.
47 pages, 29 workshop notes across 6 parts, with schematic diagrams drawn for this edition: the two tests that separate a telelever ball joint from worn head bearings, balancing throttle bodies at idle and again at raised revs, and wiring accessories so the CAN bus never sees them.
Inside: what a proper BMW diagnostic tool does beyond reading codes, the relearn ride after any battery disconnect, the lean surge and its three mechanical causes, which oil your engine actually needs and the wet-clutch exception that will cost you a clutch if you get it wrong, the five-minute rear wheel, and the riding habits that cook a dry clutch. Plus what the shop charges against what the tool costs, and the complete home toolkit list.
