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. 

Overdrive simplified - And Suzuki GS150R - The only bike in India with this feature.

Overdrive can be also called as the highest gear in the transmission of a motor vehicle that is very much needed at high speeds and also for cruising purposes, which maximizes fuel economy and reduces the stress caused to the engine. It is an amazing mechanism in transmission that prevents deterioration of engine due to prolonged stress and high speeds while cruising  for a long time on the highways.

YRCS in Yamaha FZ, FZ-S & Fazer - Explained

The YRCS - Yamaha Ram air Cooling System is a new kind of feature which aids for better cooling in air cooled engines used in Yamaha's latest series of bikes in India the FZ, FZ-S and Fazer. This concept is quite simple and an innovative one. The additional attachment of a hood shaped tapered design placed at the cooling fin area of the engine projects the oncoming air flow while riding to the spark plug area where the temperature often rises to the peak. It also helps in better heat dissipation like a heat sink since it provides more surface area as far as I know. This set up along with front placed air flow shrouds directs the air flow perfectly to cool the engine fins.

Suzuki jet cooling system (SJCS) in GS 150R - explained.

Suzuki's 150 cc segment the GS 150R symbolizes a kind of engine cooling technology called as SJCS.  Suzuki's jet cooling system (SJCS) is being employed in these motorcycles to improvise better engine cooling. Normally a conventional engine as we all know is cooled by 3 different ways - air cooled, oil cooled and liquid cooled, But this is a type of special design which is being used in air cooled engines to enhance better cooling and there by providing constant performance. This technology is inherited from Suzuki's advanced cooling system (SACS) which is some what more technologically advanced version of it. okay let's see here in brief 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.

Traction control - The technology which provides stability to your ride.

Almost all super bikes and cars nowadays are using a traction control system to maintain an excellent stability and also to provide better safety. I came across the word "Traction control" recently in a magazine. In that it was stated that all the race bikes which are being used in MotoGP races are equipped with a traction control system to assist better stability while cornering and sudden acceleration. Apart from that many top end cars also uses some kind of electronically controlled stability modules attached to it to maintain maximum stability and safety while if the driving situation goes out of control. In this part we'll see what a traction control means and how it works on your ride to provide stability.

Ohlins - Electronically Adjustable Suspension System

Öhlins Launches The World’s First Replacement Electronic Suspension Package

Öhlins has become the first company to offer an upgraded electronic suspension system, replacing the electronically adjustable suspension on the BMW R1200GS and interacting directly with the bike’s ECU and existing user interface. The Öhlins system also has a semi-active function, automatically adjusting the bike’s damping in relation to its speed.

Öhlins has been at the forefront of development of electronically adjustable suspension and has a whole department dedicated to this rapidly advancing technology. Labelled under the heading ‘Mechatronic’, which is an amalgamation of the words mechanical and electronic, this department helped create one of the World’s first production electronic suspension systems, found on the Ducati Multistrada.

Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) - Technology.

Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) is a new technology that controls the working of suspension system of a vehicle electronically.  Normally the suspensions of a bike or a car works mechanically and they are not controlled by any other means. They work according to a predefined alignment once fixed. But in the Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) system, the valves inside the suspension are controlled electronically which enables to close and open itself according to different riding situations for providing better stability and comfortable ride.

Satellite navigation & Anti theft system for cars.

Satellite navigation system is a device which assists to track, discover and navigate new routes with ease while driving a vehicle. Many top end cars are equipped with one already while they are manufactured. If your car is not equipped with this we can upgrade it by spending some bucks in an automotive store. This device is a must for every car and it also has great features apart from navigation and tracking. Well, here we are going to see about the satellite navigation system working and its benefits for car.

Anti lock Braking System (ABS) - Benefits, Components and Working.,

ABS

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is a brake system which prevents the locking of wheels and avoids the skidding of vehicles during turns, sharp and sudden braking. It maintains better stability and handling.

Now the most advanced vehicles employ the ABS brakes for braking. It allows the driver to maintain the steering control during hard braking situations.
