About Us


Cyclepedia Press LLC publishes online service manuals covering ATVs, motorcycles and scooters. Our full-color, online product is the first of its kind in the powersports industry. We provide our customers with service information now, not in 3-5 days shipping time. Our time and money saving, online manuals are a great compliment to an Authorized Factory Service Manual.

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. If you agree with any of these statements, welcome, 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 the Cyclepedia Press LLC online Motorcycle Charging System Testing and Troubleshooting Manual written by Courtney. 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 have been a tremendous asset to Cyclepedia.com.

In 2008, Greg Gardner dives head-first into the Cyclepedia project bringing with him over 9 years of motorcycle and ATV dealership 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 have Greg on our team – his professionalism and commitment to creating first-class online repair products are unparalleled.

Will Graham edits every one of our manuals. With a degree in Communication from Appalachian State University he puts his computer and writing skills to work in polishing the final product. Will assembled his first motorcycle from an old road racer basket case. He knows how important a manual is to get the job done and he understands what a GOOD manual can do for you. Will works tirelessly to produce the best possible material so you can get the job done with confidence.

Perhaps the best way to appreciate the Cyclepedia Press LLC difference is to hear from our very own satisfied customers. We hope you enjoy this selection of quotes. Feel free to contact us with your own “Cyclepedia Comments” – we want to hear from you.

“Unfortunately, over the years I’ve learned that online subscriptions typically don’t live up to expectations or are not as advertised.  However, your Suzuki DR200 online manual far exceeded my expectations – I am VERY pleased with the photos and step by step instructions.  Your online manual has already saved me time and money.  Keep up the good work.” – J. Noeske

“Love your Ninja 250 online manual service. As a professional auto tech, I’ve seen good and bad manuals. Yours is very good, has excellent pictures, and handy torque specs and hints. The hyperlinked topics relevant to a repair are great. I haven’t noticed any holes in the info covered…better than a lot of manuals I’ve seen. Being on line is very handy too. No worries about dragging a paper book from home to work or to a friends. The price was half of a paper factory manual, a great value. Keep up the good work. I’ve told all my friends with bikes about your site. Super product.” – M. King

“Your Honda CRF450 online service manual is a superb publication. I’ve never seen anything as well done or comprehensive. The color photos are sharp and clear, as well as superbly detailed. Absolutely the best money I’ve spent on any type of manual ever, and I’ve been spinning wrenches for 35 years. Thanks a million!” – T. Glander

“Thanks for producing your Honda CRF450 manual. Thus far I have been able to give my bike a complete tune up, which is very complicated in my opinion, and am looking forward to doing much more. Cyclepedia has made the difference in me having enough confidence to work on my own bike. Thanks.” – S. Hussey
