I run a two wheel tractor tips group for BCS tractor(Italian design) machines on Facebook. At some point, I want to come up with an easy to follow repair and maintenance manual from the crowdsourced solutions. I was thinking wiki format.
At some point, I want to create an online course for women who farm for tractors and tools repair and maintenance.
I believe more and more that our machines and tools in the future would be robots and electrical. And data hogs. Connected machines. At which point, we are most certainly going to be restricted from repairing them.
I am sorry to go off on a tangent as the GP is about motorcycles. I have made this about farm machinery. I don’t suppose right to repair is an issue with personal road vehicles?
That's a great initiative. A wiki-like website for maintaining a specific range of products would probably work really well, although not everyone is keen to figure out how to contribute.
Alternatively, you can simply have a comments section where people can share results, improvements and additional details. This works well for recipe websites.

It is! Cars also require more and more proprietary tech, and it's getting harder to repair them yourself without specialised tools. Car manufacturers are also inching towards DLC and even subscription-based hardware features for cars.
