Poll: 2-stroke Scooter Online University
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2010 6:06 pm
Guys:
In addition to the Wiki, I'm thinking about setting up an online school for training people on how to work on these bikes. I originally set the site up as a sort of information repository, and I'm thinking now about making it a more "active" teaching community.
Materials would leverage what we have here already (online books, wiki) and augment it with some other things (lessons, online, et al.)
There would be online tests to ensure that the material's been learned, which would move you on to the next bit.
Curricula would look something like this:
1) Basic troubleshooting
2) Electrical systems and ignition
3) Carburation and fuel
4) Head / cylinder maintanance and replacement
5) Drive-train maintanance and tuning (belt, variator, clutch)
6) Brakes and suspension, chassis
Possibly additional modules:
- Body repair and painting
- Seat repair / basic upholstery
- Advanced tuning (displacement, compression, pipe-building)
At the end, if there's interest, you could get some sort of certificate that said you'd completed the program. At that point I'd charge something to pay for the cert, and put some $ in the site's coffers. Not sure what that amount is, but it would be a heck of a lot cheaper than spending $20K for a year at UTI
Anyone interested in this? Discuss.
