so then I started thinking about can we connect these two things (programming and automobiles) for something beneficial...(You must have heard about ECUs etc stuff) Contacted Volkswagen, Skoda in Calcutta but they said we recruit only those with "degree" and then I thought to start a separate study(personal) on my own and then to start any project kinda thing...well, enough about me..

@ sunny.. any progress on this?

Hi,

When I was about to buy a motorcycle for the first time (around 6 months back) being a mechical engineer I wanted to get some hands on knowledge on the maintenance part. I tried Yamaha Technical Education but they told me it is for techinicians at SVC. I thought of calling Yamaha but lost track of it & decided to get knowledge online through forums, videos etc. That's how I was hooked up to XBhp & few other forums. Books like Motorcycle Mechanics are available in India but price is to high (~7K) also will not be good enough for beginners.
I saw this thread & thought of checking the course suggested by Aargee. Here is the link to IGNOU course, first check if there are any course centres in your city I found few in Pune. Also there is one course offered by Anna University as Dimploma in Auto Mechnic. But it is a Distance Education course so not sure about it. You can also look into few ITI certification courses.
Check this Forum (Team Bhp) thread for more options. Since you have much time I suggest take any of the course & with anyone help either do traning & work volunterily at any of the workshops and since you are at Banglore why don't you check with Joel..

I tried contacting the Hero company guys... when i reached one office they gave me a different no.
Tried that no. 4-5 times but no 1 picked up... will try again later...
@krishna: you are atleast doing a degree in electronics...
i'm doing a degree in psychology and a diploma in criminology :P ... but still i wanna learn some things related to bike's mechanics etc,...
not really expecting a degree and a job out of this... just wanna learn some stuff...
