Mechanics
Mechanics have undergone an important qualitative change. They have changed a great deal, although the old ones were good. The new ones are more technical. Before anybody could get a engine going, nowadays they have to be finely tuned; a decimal difference makes you lose potential.For example, the plates have to have a certain flexibility, and the squish has to have certain measurements. The mentality has changed and one has got to be up-to-date with the changes in the bikes.
Fortunately, according to Jesús, the mechanic in our country have adapted perfectly. "There are good profesionals in Spain, I don´t want to leave the world of racing altogether , as this helps me be in good form when I'm working with other bikes."
Jesús is quite happy to tackle any task, it doesn't matter whether it is a cylinder head or the correction of the steering. But there is one type of repair with which he is frequently faced : repairs which others have not been able to do. "For example, in suspensions we find mistakes which others haven´t been able to see, people get flustered and that's why I like to tackle those jobs. I can sense straight away what the matter is".
Apart from his intuition, Jesús uses other "tricks"..." you've got to be very careful with all the preparations". Such is the accuracy of this technician , that he revises everything down to the very last detail. Referring to discoveries, making a complete motorbike is no mean discovery and we refer specifically to the ARM which were of his creation.
