When I was younger I had a dirtbike and I loved riding it, but I knew nothing about the engine or proper maintainance. I am looking to purchase a bike in the next 4 months or so. I am looking for a book or books that will help me find any problems when buying a used bike and also information explaining parts, maintenance and useful information that riders that work on their bike should know. Thanks in advance.

Quick search on google for my bike (CR 125)
turned up this.
•Honda CR125R 1998–2002
Clymer Motorcycle Repair Manuals provide step-by-step procedures based upon the complete disassembly of the motorcycle. This hands-on experience combined with extensive research results in a manual that is both detailed and user-friendly.
I'm sure you could find one for what ever bike you end up getting.

I have been searching and I found this:
The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance by Mark Zimmerman
and some others that were rated good, but I'm not sure if I need a book that is specific to dirtbikes? I want to have knowledge before I make a purchase. when I read on this forum about top end rebuilds and other things I don't understand I realize even more that I need to educate myself first.

Buy a FACTORY service manual for your bike and pick up this book as well :
