Download or read book Motor Cycle Tuning four stroke written by John Robinson and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 1994 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic has been completely updated for the second edition. John Robinson, the Technical Editor of Performance Bikes', explains how various stages of engine tune are reached, and describes typical development work with enough theory to devise a practical development programme. The phenomena described are all known to work - the trick is making them all work together. Engine development is slow and expensive, but the results can be very rewarding, both in competition and in the sheer pleasure of using a motor which is crisp and perfectly set up. Although it is not possible to make all-round engine improvements, other than those gained by careful assembly to the exact stock tolerances, improvements in one area can be traded' for losses in another: increases in high-speed power balanced perhaps against losses in low-speed power, engine flexibility and reliability. John Robinson takes the reader through the processes which are necessary to make your four-stroke run perfectly. Will be promoted by PERFORMANCE BIKES

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any kind of competition breeds a desire to gain a performance advantage over the opposition, and motorcycle racing is no exception. Cutting-edge chassis design is a major factor in motorcycle performance, including that of fast road machines. This book explores the most innovative designs of recent years, to show how motorcycle chassis technology has evolved into today's highly-technical forms which use advanced materials and techniques. This book charts the history of fifteen of the most innovative companies. The companies still thriving today, as well as producing modern machines with a wide range of engine options, are finding considerable business rebuilding and maintaining machines built in the earlier years. Some of the pioneer builders have become household names to the motorcycle fraternity and those written about in this book include: Bakker, Bimota (Italy), Dresda, Egli (Switzerland), Harris Performance Products (United Kingdom), Hejira racing (United Kingdom), Magni (Italy), Maxton Engineering (United Kingdom), P&M, PDQ, Quasar, Rickman UK (United Kingdom), Colin Seeley Racing (United Kingdom), Segale (Italy) and Spondon Engineering (United Kingdom). With full specifications for many chassis and extensively illustrated throughout, this book is a must for any motorcycle enthusiast and a valuable reference for the trade.
Download or read book How To Advanced Custom Motorcycle Chassis written by Doug Mitchel and published by Wolfgang Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chassis is the foundation for the motorcycle. Thus, picking a chassis, or deciding on any modifications, must be undertaken with care. This book is a guide to frame styles, and quality. Bolted to the chassis are some very important componets. Items like the fork assembly and the shock absorbers. Motorcycles Chassis includes a thorough discussion of how suspension components work and how to pick the best one for your particular motorcycle. The brakes represent the other group of very important components that are bolted to the frame. Again, Motorcycle Chassis analyzes the different types of brakes and offers advice as to which caliper or caliper and rotor combination are the best value for a given bike or style of riding. There are no other books on the market that deal specifically with the chassis of American V-Twin motorcycles. As part of the Advanced Custom Motorcycle series, this book is written for the individual who is either building a custom bike from scratch of modifying an existing Harley-Davidson of V-Twin powered bike.

Download or read book Chassis Engineering written by Herb Adams and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-11-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most forms of racing, cornering speed is the key to winning. On the street, precise and predictable handling is the key to high performance driving. However, the art and science of engineering a chassis can be difficult to comprehend, let alone apply. Chassis Engineering explains the complex principles of suspension geometry and chassis design in terms the novice can easily understand and apply to any project. Hundreds of photos and illustrations illustrate what it takes to design, build, and tune the ultimate chassis for maximum cornering power on and off the track.
Download or read book Race Tech s Motorcycle Suspension Bible written by Paul Thede and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2010-06-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suspension expert’s illustrated, comprehensive troubleshooting guide for dirt, street, and supermoto—with a solution to virtually any problem.

This book, by America’s premier suspension specialist, makes the art and science of suspension tuning accessible to professional and backyard motorcycle mechanics alike. Based on Paul Thede’s wildly popular Race Tech Suspension Seminars, this step-by-step guide shows anyone how to make their bike, or their kid’s, handle like a pro’s. Thede gives a clear account of the three forces of suspension that you must understand to make accurate assessments of your suspension’s condition. He outlines testing procedures that will help you gauge how well you’re improving your suspension, along with your riding. And, if you’re inclined to perfect your bike’s handling, he even explains the black art of chassis geometry. Finally, step-by-step photos of suspension disassembly and assembly help you rebuild your forks and shocks for optimum performance.
Download or read book Racing Chassis and Suspension Design written by Carroll Smith and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2004-05-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hand-selected by racing engineer legend Carroll Smith, the 28 SAE Technical Papers in this book focus on the chassis and suspension design of pure racing cars, an area that has traditionally been - farmed out - to independent designers or firms since the early 1970s. Smith believed that any discussion of vehicle dynamics must begin with a basic understanding of the pneumatic tire, the focus of the first chapter. The racing tire connects the racing car to the track surface by only the footprints of its four tires. Through the tires, the driver receives most of the sensory information needed to maintain or regain control of the race car at high force levels. The second chapter, focusing on suspension design, is an introduction to this complex and fascinating subject. Topics covered include chassis stiffness and flexibility, suspension tuning on the cornering of a Winston Cup race car, suspension kinematics, and vehicle dynamics of road racing cars. Chapter 3 addresses the design of the racing chassis design and how aerodynamics affect the chassis, and the final chapter on materials brings out the fact that the modern racing car utilizes carbon construction to the maximum extent allowed by regulations. These technical papers, written between 1971 and 2003, offer what Smith believed to be the best and most practical nuggets of racing chassis and suspension design information.
