Default What Bike Maintenance Book To Buy?

Hi All,

I am a complete noob when it comes to bike maintenance/mechanics and am eager to learn. Can anyone recommend a good book for beginners which deals with bike maintenance? I currently own a scooter but am looking to buy an SV650S at the end of the year so a generic book would be good.

Cheers

Paul

Clymer my personal fave, or the norm is to go Haynes.
