Motorcycle mechanics talk to customers to learn more about the problems they are having with their motorcycles. They listen to engines as a way of diagnosing the type of repair needed. They also examine motorcycle frames to assess the amount of damage, if any. Then they estimate for owners how much repairs will cost. Next, mechanics take apart engines and examine how the parts are working. They use gauges and their eyes to assess the alignment and movements of parts. For some repairs, mechanics connect computers to engines to test how parts are performing.
