Book Reviews of Motocross & Off-Road Performance Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop)
Book Review: Informative, but limited
Summary: 3 Stars
The previous review is an accurate description.
Gorr's Performance Handbook attempts to cover a huge amount of material -- essentially every aspect of motocross tuning. That's a lot for any single author, especially in a single book. The result is a lack of thoroughness and detail on certain topics. Four stroke motors, for example, are neglected in comparison to his sections on two stroke motors. The book is an updated version of Gorr's older book directed at two strokes.
Still, I like the book because there is nothing else like it. I use at a starting point for tuning information, then follow up with more detailed sources. The chapter on chassis and suspension tuning is my favorite because there is so little information available on this topic.
I can recommend it as an introduction to performance tuning. You will need more info down the road. It was fun to read despite its shortcomings.
