CONTROL This module is designed to teach the student how to understand, service, inspect, and maintain exhaust systems. The student will develop an awareness of the necessity for emission and noise control through the exhaust system. |
| MATV 1240-8 | POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS This module takes the student into a deeper understanding of how engine power is transmitted to the driving wheel or wheels of motorcycles and ATVs. Systems covered range from primary drives, clutches, manual, automatic transmissions and the final drive system. |
| MATV 1250-8 | WHEELS AND TIRES The design of this module it to teach a thorough understanding of one of the key components of motorcycles and ATVs. Wheel types, inspection, and service are covered. The module continues with an in-depth study on tires, their inspection, and troubleshooting. The importance of safety of these parts will be emphasized. |
| MATV 1260-8 | BRAKES This module is designed to teach the student a working knowledge of another key safety component used on motorcycles and ATVs - the brake system. Brake operation, design, inspection, maintenance, and repair will be studied. Successful completion of this module will enable the student to properly troubleshoot brake systems. |
| MATV 1270-8 | FRAME AND SUSPENSION SYSTEMS This module is designed for an advanced study of the frame and suspension components used on motorcycles and ATVs. The inspection and servicing of these systems and how they affect handling and safety will be studied. |
| MATV 1300-8 | ACCESSORY SYSTEMS This module is designed to teach the student a deeper understanding of components used on motorcycles and ATVs that are not needed to operate the machine, but make its use safer and more enjoyable. Systems covered range from electrical items such as lights, gauges, and other devices to communication systems. Problems, troubleshooting, and servicing are covered. |
| MATV 1310-8 | ENGINE AND POWER TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY This is an advanced module designed to teach the student how to properly disassemble the engine and/or transmission in preparation for service. Proper use of tools and sequencing of disassembly will be taught. |
| MATV 1320-8 | TWO STROKE ENGINE OVERHAUL This module is designed as an advanced study into the proper overhaul of the top and lower ends of the two stroke engine. All previous courses will aid in successful completion of this module. Proper start-up, break-in, and operation will be taught. |
