When there will be a hybrid bike on the market?
or will it ever? if so, how much would one cost? What kind of MPG would it succeed?
there are many low info on the net about this topic if you want to do some reading. enjoy
Is it possible to put a Ducati 998 engine in an Aprilia RS250 chassis without too much hassle?
Please ... answer only if you know what you're talking!
anything will go anywhere with this swap but theres going to be so much pain, it would be cheaper just to buy complete a Ducati, really its a nono, without cutting the frame of its questionable if it will even be sitting here, then when you weld the frame up, so all geometry management is not perfect, you have a pig unrideable. Forget the PAL. Regards Steve
Why motorcycle engines idle unevenly?
I noticed that motorcycle engines tend to have uneven slowly, as if a cylinder is misfiring. Is it that motorcycle engines have a firing order asymmetric? If yes, what is the purpose asymmetry? OK, I must refer to Harleys, which also seem very slow.
Yes asymmetrical firing .. and NO, all 2 cylinder motorcycles are not doing the same thing. Most older motorcycles to import are side by side twins who do not pin common crankshaft, as Harleys and other new "style cruiser bikes do. Old-style import twins just go "get place it evenly when they run. This makes for a smoother running engine. Harleys vibrate a lot and are usually mounted in rubber to isolate the motor chassis and rider. ) Here is your reply! ... (I did not copy and paste) the classic Harley-Davidson engines are two-cylinder V-twin engines with pistons mounted in a 45 ° "V". The crankshaft is a pin, and both pistons are connected to this pin through their connecting rods. This design causes the pistons to fire at uneven intervals, the result of a compromise engineered to create an engine big and powerful in a small space. This design choice is entirely remains a technical standpoint, but it has been sustained because of the strong connection between the distinctive sound and Harley-Davidson. This approach, which is covered by several patents in the United States, gives the Harley-Davidson V-twin its unique choppy "potato" potato sound. To simplify the engine and reduce costs, the V-twin ignition was designed to operate with a single set of points and no distributor which is known as a dual fire ignition, causing both spark plugs to fire regardless of the bottle was in its compression stroke, with launching other candles on the cylinder exhaust stroke, effectively "wasting a spark." The exhaust note is basically a sound with a few guttural grunts popping. The design of 45 degrees the engine thus creates a plug firing sequencing as such: The first cylinder fires, the second (rear) cylinder fires later, 315 °, then there is a difference of 405 ° until the first cylinder fires again, giving engine sound unique. Attempt to patent the sound ... U.S. United States, the criterion for determining whether a sound can serve as a brand "depends on [the perception] hearing of the listener who may be as fleeting as the sound itself unless, of course, the sound is so inherently different or distinctive it attaches to the subliminal mind of the listener to wake up when he heard and to be associated with the source or event with which he struck. "This was the fairly strict test applied by the Trial Trademark United States and Appeal Board in the case of General Electric Broadcasting Co., 199 USPQ 560, regarding the tolling of the clock timed a ship's bell. More famous Harley-Davidson tried to register as a hallmark of the "puff" of a Harley Davidson engine. On 1 February 1994, the Company filed its application with the following description: "The mark consists of the exhaust noise of motorcycles plaintiff, produced by V-twin engine motorcycles common crankpin when the goods are in use. "Nine competitors Harley Davidson filed an opposition against the request, arguing that the style cruiser-bikes of various brands use the same crankpin V-twin engine produces the same sound. After six years of litigation with no end in sight to the top 2000 Harley Davidson withdrew their application.
Why do not car manufacturers use the same concept as the engine of a motorcycle when designing new engines?
As engines Modern motorcycle 500cc to 600cc can produce over 100 hp at 10,000 rpm above, why not car manufacturers use the same concept when designing their new engines? The result of massive weight savings from the engines will be lighter and smaller.
The answer is inertia. A car weighs much more than a motorcycle and therefore need more mass on the engine. Motorcycle engine puts out a lot of horsepower to weight, but if you look at foot-pounds a couple that does not compare to a car engine. More bearing the weight of the car engine mass must be higher and are smaller than bearings wear out quickly. Think of a motorcycle engine as one big firecracker with a short fuse. More generally motorcucles never see the kind of miles a car will. 50.000 miles is a lot for a motorcycle while a car is just broken in at this point.
Would you support that which keeps the headlights "cap" on a motorcycle?
I won an auction and he said he was leading motorcycle and assembly. In the photo was the flagship and the bracket that holds the headlights. The person who said he did not understand "cap" For me on a motorcycle fairing parts are plastic, not the medium that holds the headlights. Am I right? My impression has been torn! Thank you for reading.
Hi, I would also feel cheated. The party that holds the headlights is usually called a "Cradle" and does not part of fairing in any way. In affirming Headlight Assembly and the seller has agreed to sell its share. The Cradle does not double as a mirror Fairing and mount on many bikes though. If you purchased a full fairing from a motorcycle shop, you will not get the cradle with it. Hope this helps and good luck.
