While sprucing up our bikes yesterday with oil changes, chain lubing, clutch adjustments etc., I thought I might share with you some basics about how a motorcycle engine works. That way, you can brag about spark plugs to your friends and actually know what the hell you’re talking about!

Here’s where dirt-biking comes in:
