Program Objective
The objective of MMI’s Harley-Davidson & K-Tech Training program is to prepare students for entry‑level technician positions with the knowledge and skills required to perform maintenance and routine service, diagnose mechanical and electrical systems, and make necessary repairs and replacements. To reinforce students’ preparation for future career success, there also is an emphasis on developing their professionalism skills.
Harley‑Davidson Late Model allows students to further develop their core H‑D technical skills that become the foundation they will build upon throughout their careers as technicians. Students are introduced to the systems and procedures necessary to service late model Harley‑Davidson® motorcycles, progressively working through the routine (Vehicle Maintenance), intermediate (Chassis Service) and complex (Powertrain Service). In addition to servicing and repairing motorcycles, students rotate into support roles such as service writer and service consultant. Work is performed with Harley‑Davidson’s proprietary web access (h‑dnet.com®) and Harley‑Davidson.com to support technicians (students) in their service tasks.
Harley‑Davidson Early Model is designed to provide students with knowledge and experience on the design, repair, and maintenance of Harley‑Davidson® vehicles dating back to 1936. Engineering, technical and service data comes directly from Harley‑Davidson® materials. The focus is hands-on experience as students learn to disassemble, repair, and maintain early model Harley‑Davidson® vehicles. Early model motorcycles along with a large variety of component assemblies provide ample exposure to many varieties of early model H-D® products. Students study vintage service bulletins as well as special information packets on topics such as model changes, component design changes, adaptability of late model parts and locating suppliers of obsolete components.
Harley‑Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® allows students to learn about the Screamin’ Eagle line of performance options. They learn about the performance applications of components such as cylinder heads, camshafts, ignition systems, and intake and exhaust systems. The emphasis is on learning the correct application and combination of these performance components. Students learn how to identify all the variables in a Harley‑Davidson® motor that can increase combustion efficiency and drivability performance.
The K‑Tech Specialist elective is where students will receive an introduction to the Kawasaki service network, its regional service organization, and its dealership network. They learn how to locate valuable information to aid in the repair of Kawasaki products. They get familiar with various methods used by Kawasaki to identify its products and learn about model features and specifications. An introduction to K‑Dealer includes methods for tracking parts availability, orders and vehicle service inquiries using the K‑Dealer website. Training on current Kawasaki motorcycles includes model ID, service bulletin review and assembly/preparation of new units. K‑Tech students have access to the Kawasaki Dealer University (KDU) training normally offered in Kawasaki dealerships. A Kawasaki endorsed entry‑level certificate is awarded upon graduation.
