Although motorcycle engines are typically smaller than the large powerplants that drive trucks and automobiles, two- and four-stroke small engines are growing increasingly complex to repair or maintain. That's why motorcycle-mechanic schools constantly update their knowledge base to prepare their students for entering the challenging repair, restoration, and racing fields.

Today, motorcycle mechanics must be willing to work on a wide range of engines, electrical systems, and diagnostic equipment. They not only service bikes, but also work on other small and medium-sized engines for scooters, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), and mopeds. With the advent of computerized ignition, high-performance transmissions, ignitions, and braking systems, motorcycle-mechanic schools have had to integrate their curriculum to embrace the latest technology.

Motorcycle dealers and repair agencies are seeking qualified mechanics that have a thorough understanding of 2- and 4-stroke engines, basic tools, diagnostic gear, and a flexibility to work on motorboats, power equipment, and other small-engine equipment. Motorcycle-mechanic schools offer comprehensive training programs with classes in drive trains, ignition systems, brakes, basic science, emissions control, shop math, road testing, customer service, and paint procedures.

Once students complete motorcycle-mechanic school training they typically take entry or apprentice positions. Many repair shops and motorcycle manufacturers also offer training classes for working apprentices.

The U.S. Labor Department (DOL) reports that 21,000 motorcycle mechanics held jobs in 2006. Job prospects, the DOL predicts, will be best for graduates from formal motorcycle-mechanic school programs. Mechanics, with experience, can assume supervisor or shop foreman positions at repair facilities and service centers.
