About Us
At Cyclepedia Press LLC, we believe you should have the freedom to repair and maintain your own motorcycle, scooter or ATV. You should have access to the repair information you need with the click of a mouse, 24 hours a day - 7 days a week - from anywhere in the world. You deserve high-quality, full-size color photographs, and clear concise text written by someone who not only speaks your language but was involved in the repair procedure first-hand. You shouldn’t have to pay too much for any of this information either. We’ve built this site for you. Please share your comments, concerns and suggestions.
Cyclepedia.com began life in 1999 as repository for ATV and motorcycle specifications. In 2006 Cyclepedia Press LLC was formed and the Cyclepedia.com website was re-launched as a gateway to subscription-based ATV and motorcycle repair information.
In 2006, Todd Irwin joined us from MR Motorcycles in Asheville, NC. MR is an excellent dealership that is well worth the visit if you are in the Asheville area. Todd has been a professional motorcycle and ATV service technician since 1987 - he was the Service Manager at MR.
Todd has been professionally schooled in ATV, Motorcycle, and Watercraft repair by such OEMs as Bombardier, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha. His hands-on experience brings with it many tricks of the trade that are documented in his online service guides.
In 2007, Courtney Cummings joined us from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) in Orlando, Florida - he had been teaching an Advanced Motorcycle Electrics Course. Be sure to check out his online Motorcycle Charging System Testing and Troubleshooting Manual! His well rounded resume includes several motorcycle industry jobs including that of an instructor at the American Motorcycle Institute.
Courtney’s flare for educating others, his technical expertise and many decades of motorcycle diagnosis and troubleshooting experience are a tremendous asset to Cyclepedia.com. We hope you enjoy and appreciate the care he takes in authoring each of his manuals.
In 2008, Greg Gardner dives head-first into the Cyclepedia project bringing with him over 9 years of factory trained dealership service experience and a lifetime of bike tinkering know-how. If it has two wheels Greg has most likely ridden it or worked on it. We are very fortunate to welcome Greg as the newest member of our team - his professionalism and commitment to creating first-class online repair products are unparalleled. Expect to see great things come out of his tenure here.
Cyclepedia Press LLC is committed to doing its part to protect the environment. We are helping to save trees by offering paperless manuals. While we realize many of our customers are printing our manuals from our website, our research has shown that only certain topics get printed which helps reduce waste. Here in our office we only print paper when absolutely necessary.
Our new facility makes use of large skylights to reduce our need for artificial lighting. We use only energy efficient florescent lighting when needed and all of our computers are fitted with flat screen LCD monitors. LCDs typically use approximately 30% of the power of similar CRTs and generate less heat. LCD monitors contain less heavy metals such as lead and mercury than CRT monitors, which is better for the environment when the monitors need to be discarded.
Thanks for visiting Cyclepedia.com - if you have suggestions regarding our website, our business or any of our products, do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your suggestions and feedback - we work for you and would not be here without your continued business.
Ride safe!
