The Milwaukee-8 is the newest Harley-Davidson engine and motorcycle, which began use in 2017 and continues today.
This easy to read, easy to understand, best, and most comprehensive book of its kind will appeal to novices, mechanics and technicians alike.
Donny examines the various M-8 Touring, Softail, Trike and prestige CVO models, their features, highlights, and perceived strengths and weaknesses.
Then, Donny describes how this latest, largest, and progressive motorcycle works. Maintenance to fluid changes, oiling, cooling, wheels and tires, brakes, ABS braking, front forks, rear suspensions, electrical, clutches and transmission, as well as the power train are all examined in detail.
Complex subjects like the engine functioning, engine management systems, Electronic Fuel Injection, and new-age wiring/CAN bus electrical messaging are broken down into bite sized chunks that can be comfortably digested.
Donny intersperses his seemingly unlimited mechanical knowledge with enthralling, real life biker riding stories to illustrate subjects like how ABS braking saved him from horrible accidents, which might not have occurred if he rode normally.
Donny dissects issues arising from hydraulic clutches, the engine sprocket, clutching, inadequate engine breathing, and too much oil in the engine. He looks at H-D and aftermarket solutions, always offering his own unique explanations and fixes that he uses on his own motorcycles.
Finally, Donny takes all those mind numbing acronyms, letter combos, and mechanic-speak gobbledegook that can boggle the mind and simply spells out their meanings.
