Introduction:
This unit deals with identifying, interpreting, and applying service
specification manuals, maintenance procedure manuals and periodic
maintenance manual
All over the years, the vehicles you will be working on as a technician
become more and more complicated. In years past, a mechanic or a
technician could keep all the repair information they needed in their head.
Now, those days were gone. One of the important tools as a technician must
have is the correct, up-to-date service information for the vehicle you are
working on. A technician must learn to read and understand service
information. This module will present the different types of service
information used by the technician.

Revision: 00 Page
Table of Contents
The shop manuals contain three basis types of information. First, there
is diagnostic or troubleshooting information. Second, they contain a step-by-
step repair procedure. Third, there a specification charts.
DIAGNOSING OR TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
Probably the most valuable type of service information comes from the
troubleshooting or diagnosing guides. These are designed to help the
technician save time in identifying and solving problems.
PROCEDURE INFROMATION
Procedure information gives the steps to follow in doing a repair job. The
procedures are usually numbered in a step-by-step order.
SPEFICIFICATION
Specifications are included as part of the service manual. Specifications are
technical data, numbers, clearances and measurements used to diagnose
and adjust automobile components. Specifications can be referred to as
specs. They are usually considered precise measurements under standard
conditions. Examples of specifications include valve clearances, spark plug
gaps, tire pressure, number of quarts of oil, ignition timing and size of
engine.
TYPES OF SPECIFICATIONS
General Engine Specification – This specification identify the size and style
of the engine. They include cubic inch displacement, engine codes, fuel
system settings, bore and stroke, horsepower, torque, compression ratio,
and normal oil pressure.
Tune-Up specifications – This specification helps identify adjustments
necessary for tune-up on the vehicle. This includes spark plug gap, firing
order, degrees of ignition timings, fuel system settings and fuel pump
pressure.
Capacity Specifications –This specification include to identify the capacity of
different fluids on the vehicle. This includes cooling capacity, number of
quarts of oil, fuel tank size, transmission transaxle capacity, and rear axle
capacity.
Overhaul and Maintenance Specifications – This specification used to aid
technician in servicing the vehicle. This include distributor advance at
different speeds, valve seat angles, valve stem clearance, piston
measurements, ring end gaps, bearing clearances, shaft end play and many
more. This specification help the technician determine how much wear has
occurred. The mechanic is then able to decide whether or not to replace the
component in question. Usually maximum or minimum clearances are given
for this purpose.
Revision: 00 Page
Operational Specification – This specification tell how the vehicle is to
operate, what type of oil to use, and so on. Some of them are found in the
owner’s manual. Other specification includes tire inflation, type of gasoline
to use, tire size and general information for the operator of the vehicle.
Torque Specification – It is important to torque each bolt or nut correctly
when replacing or installing a component on the automobile. Torque
specifications are used for this purpose. This torque specification should be
used in place of any standard bolt and nut torque specification.
OWNERS MANUAL
An owner’s manual or an operator’s manual is a booklet that comes with a
new motorcycle. This manual usually explains how to operate the
automobile’s control and accessories. In addition the owner’s manual
provides a great deal of technical information that can be useful to the
technician.

Stroke 3 - All valves still closed, spark plug ignites the fuel/air
mixture, pushing the piston down.
Stroke 4 - Exhaust valve(s) open, piston moves up, blowing the
old charge out the exhaust valves.
A short version is Suck, Squeeze, BANG, and Blow.
Cooling: An engine can be liquid-cooled by running coolant
through the engine and exchanging the heat via a radiator like a
car. It can also be air-cooled by airflow over fins on the engine.
Another variation is oil-cooling where engine oil is circulated in
the engine and its heat exchanged by a small radiator. There are
even oil/air/fan cooling systems.
Valves: Valves are used as mentioned above. There may be one
or more valves used for intake and exhaust. The specs may
indicate how many valves are used per cylinder or for the whole
engine. Terms such as SOHC (Single OverHead Cam) and DOHC
(Double OverHead Cam), etc. are used to indicate how the
valves are opened and closed. There are other methods to
operate the valves as well.
Number of Cylinders: Engines can have one to six cylinders.
A single-cylinder engine, sometimes called a thumper, is used in
small bikes.
Most bikes have engines with two-cylinders arranged in many
configurations including: V-twin where the cylinders are spaced
at a particular angle to each other; Parallel twin where the two
cylinders are right next to each other in a vertical position; and
Flat-twins where the two cylinders are opposed such as in BMW
Boxers.
Engines may have more than two cylinders such as: Triples
where three cylinders are lined up next to each other in a
vertical position; In-line fours similar to a triple except with
another cylinder added; V-4 engines such as used in Honda
ST1300; V-6 engines such as used in Boss Hoss; Flat-six engines
such as used in Honda Gold Wing 1500/1800s.
There are other engines not described.
Displacement: Displacement is the volume displaced in the
cylinders of an engine as the pistons move from their bottom
position to their highest position in the cylinders. Displacement
is measured in either cubic centimeters (CC) or cubic inches (CI).
Bore and Stroke: Bore is the diameter of the cylinder in the
engine in which a piston moves up and down. Stroke is the
distance that the piston moves up and down inside the cylinder.
Revision: 00 Page
Fuel System: Either carburetor(s) or fuel injection is used to
control the mixture of air and gasoline and prepare it to be
sucked through the intake valves and into the cylinders during
Stroke 1, described above. Specs usually identify the carburetor
name and how many carburetors are used. Fuel injection comes
with different names such as Fuel Injection (FI), Digital Fuel
Injection (DFI), Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI),
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), etc.
Compression Ratio: Here's a definition from Motorcycles
Forum moderator, Bill Wood:
"Think of Compression Ratio this way: When the piston is at the
bottom of the cylinder, say you could pour 100cc of water into
the sparkplug hole (both valves closed) and it would be full.
When the piston is at the top of its stroke, you can only pour
10cc of water into the hole to fill it. The compression ratio would
be 100 to 10 or 10 to 1. That's about as easy to understand as I
can make it. Oops, forgot to say -- Higher compression ratios (in
general) will let the engine make more power, require higher
octane gas and be harder for the starter to turn over."
Maximum Torque: Torque is described as twisting force. This
is the maximum amount of twisting force the engine can put out
and at what value of engine Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). Put
simply, torque is the "grunt, stretch your arms, push your
eyeballs into their sockets" quality when you aggressively use
the throttle and accelerate hard. The higher the number, the
more forceful that feeling is.
Maximum Horsepower: This is the maximum amount of
horsepower delivered by the engine. It occurs at a particular
engine speed. Horsepower (HP) and torque are interrelated with
RPM by the formula HP = TORQUE X RPM / 5252.
Drivetrain:
Transmission: The specs may show the transmission as 4-speed,
5-speed, 6-speed, or an automatic transmission such as found in
some bikes and most scooters.
Final Drive: The final drive is what connects the engine and
transmission to the rear wheel. Options are a chain, belt, or
driveshaft.
Brakes: There are many brake systems given in motorcycle
specs. The usual system is a disc front brake controlled by the
right handlebar brake lever and a rear disc or drum brake
controlled by the rightside foot brake pedal. There are also

Revision: 00 Page
Linked Braking Systems (LBS) where use of either the front
brake lever or the foot brake will activate both front and rear
brakes. A variation on LBS is the Integrated Braking System
(IBS) where the foot brake also controls a portion of the front
brake. In some integrated braking systems, the front brake will
also control a portion of the rear brake.
Disc brakes are made of a rotor that is attached to the wheel
and a caliper that is fitted over the edge of the rotor. The caliper
contains one or more pistons under hydraulic pressure that,
when activated by a hand brake lever or foot brake pedal, will
push against the brake pads that then contact the rotor to
create friction that stops the bike. There are fixed rotors and
floating rotors. The floating rotors can move and expand and
contract thereby allowing less heat to be generated and braking
performance to be increased.
Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) may also be part of a
motorcycle braking system. ABS uses computer controls to keep
the brakes from locking by applying and releasing the brakes
very rapidly, always just short of a lockup.
Front Suspension: Springs and shock absorbers are used in
various configurations to provide a comfortable ride. The
concepts used for both front and rear suspensions are similar
but the configurations of springs, dampers, and links are quite
different.
Spring pre-load is the amount of compression already in the
spring before applying any load. Many systems allow you to
adjust the pre-load to suit the expected road conditions or rider
preferences.
Most motorcycles use a telescopic front suspension consisting of
two fork tubes containing springs and some method to control
their motion. When brakes are applied, the front end tends to
dive because of weight transfer. When the bike hits a bump, the
spring also compresses to absorb the shock. To keep the spring
from bottoming, some form of compression damping is used. As
the spring comes back up, rebound damping is used to control
its travel. Without damping, the spring would propel the rider up
and down in pogo stick fashion. Many bikes have methods to
control and adjust compression damping and rebound damping
and these are spelled out in the motorcycle specs.
Most telescopic front forks have a smaller top portion that is
pushed into a larger lower portion. A variation on this is
the inverted fork where the fork tubes are essentially turned
upside down with the upper portion sliding down outside the
lower portion.
Revision: 00 Page
Rear Suspension: Today, most bikes use a swingarm system
that is laterally fastened to the frame in front of the rear wheel
and moves up and down in an arc. Two arms extend back and
hold the rear wheel. One or two shock absorbers connect
between the frame and the swingarm to provide spring action
and appropriate damping. Some bikes use a single-sided
swingarm.
Older bikes had no rear suspension and were known as hard
tails. Many bikes today have hidden rear springs and shocks to
give a hard tail look but a soft tail ride. The Harley-Davidson
Softail line is an example.
Tires: The first two numbers in a tire size indicate the width of
the tire and the height of the sidewall. For example, 240/40
indicates that the tire width is 240mm across the tread and the
aspect ratio is 40. The aspect ratio, expressed in percent, when
multiplied by the width gives the height of the sidewall. Thus,
the example tire size tells us that the tire is 240 mm wide and
the sidewall is 96mm high (0.40 X 240).
Various Dimensions:
Seat Height: Seat height may be given as measured with a rider
aboard (laden) or it may be given unladen. Riders may be
interested in the seat height to tell them how easy it will be for
them to get their feet flat on the pavement when stopped. See
my Seat Heights article.
Rake and Trail: Rake is the angle of the fork away from vertical
toward the rider. Trail is the distance on the ground between a
vertical line dropped straight down from the center of the wheel
and a projection of the fork extended until it touches the ground.
As the rake increases, the trail increases. The more rake, the
more stable the handling at speed. As rake decreases, handling
becomes easier at low speeds.
Wheelbase: This is the number of inches measured from front
axle to rear axle.
Weight: Weight may be given as wet weight with all lubricants,
liquids and gasoline added or it may be dry weight with nothing
added.
Fuel Tank Capacity: Capacity is usually given including
reserve tank.
