If you have a serious desire to become a motorcycle mechanic, you should know that there are several motorcycle mechanic training programs that will give you the training and experience you need. Here's a run-down of some of those programs.

General Motorcycle Mechanic Training Program
Most general motorcycle mechanic training programs begin as courses in small engine mechanics from high schools, community colleges, or vocational education programs. Topics covered in these courses include transmissions, brakes, ignition systems and minor body repairs for motorcycles, motor scooters, mopeds, dirt bikes, and all-terrain vehicles. Due to the growing popularity of these modes of transportation, training and experience in this area is transferable to employers across the board. These programs combine formal classroom instruction from certified mechanics to hands-on experience inside repair facilities. You can also earn additional experience from a veteran mentor who will provide valuable insider knowledge acquired from years of employment. Oftentimes, this personalized experience is worth much more than general motorcycle mechanic training programs that you can attend.

Manufacturer Specific Motorcycle Mechanic Training Program
As you earn your experience as a motorcycle mechanic, you'll find the need to learn specific techniques for makes and models from some of the bigger name brands in the motorcycle industry. Companies like Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, BMW, Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki have specific nuances of their motorcycle engines that must be learned in order to work on their models. Your employer may elect to send you on specific training courses designed to increase your knowledge of the major makes and models that they repair on a daily basis. Once you complete a specific motorcycle mechanic training program, you can use these certifications to market yourself to potential employers. If you elect to service motorcycles fro insurance companies, you may be required to attend one of their specific training programs that instruct you on the repair techniques that they prefer.
