Can You explain what this means? I am trying to learn more about motorcycles and engines.? |
Engine Type 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Bore and Stroke 67.0mm x 42.5mm Compression Ratio 12.0:1 Valve Train DOHC; four valves per cylinder Carburetion Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) Ignition Computer-controlled digital transistorized with three-dimensional mapping DRIVE TRAIN Transmission Close-ratio six-speed Final Drive #525 O-ring-sealed chain CHASSIS / SUSPENSION / BRAKES Front Suspension 41.0mm inverted HMAS cartridge fork with spring-preload, rebound and compression-damping adjustability; 4.7-inch travel Rear Suspension Unit Pro-Link HMAS single shock with spring-preload, rebound and compression-damping adjustability; 5.1-inch travel Front Brakes Dual radial-mounted four-piston calipers with 310.0mm discs Rear Brake Single 220.0mm disc Front Tire 120/70ZR-17 radial Rear Tire 180/55ZR-17 radial DIMENSIONS Rake 24.0 degrees Trail 95.0mm ENGINE SIZE -599cc is the size of the motor. The # is just rounded off to 600 (cbr600) for convience. Multiply the bore, times the stroke, multiplied by how many cylinders the engine has. -Bore is the diameter of the cylinder, that the piston is in. -Stroke is is the length that the pistion travels from top to bottom. -Compression ratio is how much pressure is created when the volume of fuel/air in the cylinder is compressed when the piston is at the top of it's stroke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/compression... -Carburation DSFI - A carburator mixes fuel and air and regulates the amount that goes into the engine to create a different size explosion in the cyl. to force the piston to move at different speeds. The vacumm in the engine sucks fuel from the carb. Fuel injection squrits fuel into the engine, and is regulated by a computer, which gets it's info from different sensors such as a throttle position sensor. Dual stage just means that different amounts of fuel are injected at different times. -The computerized stuff is just that. A computer determines from sensors how much fuel to send to the motor at different times and how much air is to be added to the fuel and when to fire the spark plugs. Oxygine, throttle position, camshaft speed, exaust gas sensors. DRIVE TRAIN -Six speed is, it has 6 gears 1st 2nd 3rd etc. Cars usually have 4. -Close ratio means when you shift to the next gear, the motor doesn't have to exert a lot of energy, to get that gear up to top speed. Like on a ten speed bike, the gear cluster on the rear wheel, it's a smooth transition when shifting to the next gear. If it wasn't a close ratio trani, it'd be like shifting from 1st to 5th. CHASSI -41mm is the diameter of the fork tube. The larger the diameter, the less chance of it flexing onder pressure/road bumps. -HAMS, brand name -Cartrage fork. A fork tube slides in and out of a large casing. Think of a ball point pen. The outer casing is the cartrage. The tube of ink (fork tube)is inside the cartrage and slides in and out of it. -Another type of front suspension is a springer front end. Nothing slides in and out of anything. The forks just bounce against external springs. -The cartrage fork has it's spring inside the assembly. -Sprin preload. You can adjust the tension on the spring, to make the suspension softer or stiffer. -Rebound dampening. The inside of the fork is partialy filled with oil. When the fork is fully compressed and it starts to rebound (fully extend), the fork is prevented from rebounding by their being holes on the internal parts that oil has to pass through. Changing the size of those holes will allow the oil to pass through at different rates which determines how fast/slow the forks return to their fully extended position. -Compression dampening is the same, but just slows down/speeds up the time it takes to compress the forks. -4.7-inch travel. How far the suspension will move. If you hit a bump, the front wheel can go up 4.7". Then there's no suspension left. It'd be like hitting a bump without any suspension. -Pro-Link. Some bikes have 2 shock absorbers in the rear and some have one like your CBR600. Pro-link is Hondas brand name of the linkage system which connects the shock to the swing arm. Kawasaki calls their linkage system "UNI-TRAK". -Brakes. 310mm is the diameter of the brake disc. -Dual means 2 (one on each side of the wheel). -Caliper is the mechinisim that squeezes the brake pads against the disc to stop. -Four piston. When you apply the brakes, brake fluid is forced into the caliper and pushes a piston out. That piston pushes the brake pad against the disc. The more pistons there are, the less pressure that is required to move them. With the same amount of force on the brake pedal/lever, a caliper with multiple pistons will apply more braking force. - Radial mounted. The pistons aren't lined up 4 in a row, they'er arked, to equal the radias of the disc. -Tire sizes. The first # is the width of the tire. The second is the sidewall hieght (from the outside of the tire to the rim). The third # is the diameter of the rim of the wheel. The letters mean the speed rating of the tire. (at what speed the tire's integrity will hold up until it starts to flex or lose traction). -Radial - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/radial_tire... DIMENSIONS -Trail & Rake - http://www.jeris-springer.com/raketrail.... That'll be $125 for the lesson. No checks please. LOL pretty fast engine nice tires Nice 600cc scoot. What type of super bike is it. A Suzuki? Some corrections regarding the fork, otherwise outstanding answer up above. "Cartridges" are little shim stacks in the front fork that allow a variety of reactions to bumps. A typical shock (forks are a pair of shocks that also act as steering) has a single damping rate whether it's a fast or slow bump since the fork oil flows through the same size holes. In a cartridge fork, the fork oil has extra pathways to go through where on a fast bump the oil has enough pressure to push the shims out of the way, on a slow bump the shims aren't deformed as much. Suspension tuners can even rework the shim stack so that it fits your riding style, though at that point it will have to be my track-only bike (and I still haven't bought one). |
