Reed valve induction system - Explained

Yamaha RX 100, the name still exits in the hearts of automobile enthusiasts and motorcycle lovers even after its production has stopped almost a decade ago. Still many people are ready to spend more than its original price during the time of its manufacturing even today for a well maintained one. Due to strict emission norms, poor scavenging and lack of fuel efficiency the production of 2 stoke engine is banned in many countries but this bike still remains as a legend in everyone's hearts. 

Oil cooler - All you want to know....

The term oil cooler and oil cooling became very popular in India after launching the Pulsar series 200 (discontinued) and 220 F from Bajaj motors. Oil cooling as we know from the name itself is cooling of engine oil by help of a special component called an oil cooler. Generally an engine oil will loose its viscosity if temperatures are very high than its specified heat range. As a result it may not be able to lubricate the mechanical components properly as specified. To overcome this problem and to provide better cooling especially for air cooled high performance engines oil coolers are generally used.

Reading a Tire Sidewall.

When shopping for tires, you need to know what the numbers and letters on your sidewall mean in order to select the appropriate replacement tire. 

ECU - (Engine Control Unit) All you need to know in simple.

ECU-Engine control unit, is a control unit that controls your engine. It determines the amount of fuel, ignition timing and other parameters whether a bike or a car needs to keep running smoothly.

 How it works-

The advantage of Ducati's desmo valve system.

Ducati - the one brand for best in class motorcycles has a special place in hearts among bike lovers and racers. Unlike when compared to other brands, Ducati bikes are always sportier and has superior distinct performance. This unique performance is due to a completely new approach and design of engine, its components and the framework of the motorcycle. I think that's the reason behind for its ultimate performance and also its cost against other superbikes. The Ducati is the only bike in market and in MotoGP championships to be equipped with a 4 cylinder V-twin type engine using a different valve train . The other competitors like Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda employ a 4 cylinder inline type engine in all their superbikes. Plus the Ducati's engines uses its own patented valve system called as desmodromic valve system which is responsible in part for its spectacular performance.

The advantages of using a Nitrox suspension - Gas charged suspensions.

The rear shock absorbers on current Bajaj Pulsar series bikes are also popularly known as NITROX shock absorbers. These types of shock absorbers are actually called as ‘Gas Filled Shock Absorbers’. The visual differentiation between a conventional shock absorber and a gas filled shock absorber is a small canister (box) which is attached on one side of it. This canister holds a small amount of Nitrogen gas in it. Hence these hydraulic shock absorbers or dampers are called as gas filled shock absorbers. So what is the reason to use a gas filled hydraulic dampers instead of using a conventional one? we'll find out the answer here.

Turbo intercooler- Functions explained

Many cars and trucks  are written on their sides as turbo intercooler or simply intercooler. what does it mean? Actually an intercooler is an additional component fixed to a turbo charger to improve its performance and efficiency. It is similar to a radiator whereas a radiator cools the engine but a turbo intercooler cools the air which is fed into the engine. Lets see it brief here.

Tyres - Engineering Behind It. + Airless Tyres - The New Breakthrough.

Tyres

Whatever a motorcycle or a car, whether it is a Mercedes or a Nano, without proper tyres we cannot ride. The traction between the road and the vehicle is made only by tyres. Many may think a tyre is just a round piece of rubber, but many don't know the engineering and technology behind the manufacturing of tyres. The tyres serve two important purposes for the vehicle, one they absorb the shock created by the irregularities of the road which in turn gives a comfortable ride to a rider and two, a good tyre provides good traction ie, a good road grip between the road and the vehicle which enables to accelerate, brake, make turns without skidding.

Iridium Spark Plugs

Spark Plugs:



Spark plugs are used to ignite the compressed air fuel mixture in SI engine during the compression cycle. The better ignition of fuel with better timing of ignition increases the performance and mileage. A poor condition spark plug will decrease engine efficiency and power.

So sparks plugs are always among the important performance components of all time. The better ignition of fuel provides the better performance of engine.

Turbochargers & Superchargers

It is  used to increase the performance of engine to achieve its peak volumetric efficiency and more horse power.
