Hello dears 👋, welcome to another amazing post. In this post, we will discuss Motorcycle Engines & The Motorcycle.
Nowadays Motorcycle is life for most people, especially Boys. But half of them don't know about their favorite bike Engines. So this post is for all along with them.
MOTORCYCLE ENGINE
MOTORCYCLE ENGINES must be lightweight and compact, and have a good power output. They have between one and six cylinders, can be cooled by air or water, and the capacity of the combustion chamber varies from 49cc (cubic centimeters) to 1500cc. Two types of internal combustion engines are common: the four-stroke, which is used in cars, and the two-stroke. A basic two-stroke engine has only three moving parts- the crankshaft, the connecting rod, and the piston - but the power output is high.
The engine fires every two strokes (rather than every four), giving a "power stroke" every revolution. Power is conveyed from the engine to the rear wheel by the transmission system. This usually consists of a clutch, a gearbox, and a final drive system. Clutches are multiple devices, which run on oil. Gearboxes have five or six speeds and are operated by a foot pedal. Shaft and belt drive systems are used in some cases, but chain drive to the rear wheel is the most common.
THE MOTORCYCLE
THE MOTORCYCLE HAS EVOLVED from a motorized cycle-a basic bicycle with an engine into a sophisticated, high-performance machine. In 1901, the Werner brothers established the most viable location for the engine by positioning it low in the center of the chassis. The new Werner became the basis for the modern motorcycle. Motorcycles are used for much purposes-for commuting, delivering messages, touring, and racing - and different machines have been developed according to the demands of different types of riders.
The Vespa scooter, for instance, which is small-wheeled, economical, and easy to ride, was designed to meet the needs of the commuter. Sidecars provided transport for the family until the arrival of cheap cars caused their popularity to decline. Enthusiast riders generally favor larger-capacity machines that are capable of greater performance and offer more comfort. Four-cylinder machines have been common since the Honda CB750 appeared in 1969. Despite advances in motorcycle technology, many riders are attracted to the traditional looks of motorcycles like the twin-cylinder Harley-Davidson. The Harley-Davidson Glides exploit the style of the classic American V-twin engine, where the cylinders are placed in a V-formation.
