Several online schools offer motorcycle mechanic training.
Motorcycle Mechanics, also known as Motorcycle Repair Technicians, work in an exciting field that may also include snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and some marine vessels. Motorcycle mechanics service, repair and troubleshoot all makes of motorcycles from Honda to Harley-Davidson, using comprehensive knowledge of electrical systems, suspension, engines, brakes, frames and ignition to diagnose problems and keep vehicles in good working condition. Motorcycle mechanics also assemble new bikes, customize existing bikes and re-design engines. Careers in motorcycle repair can range from being the sole proprietor of an independent business to working in a repair shop, dealership or racing pit crew.
