Suzuki GT Series
The GT series is a series of two-stroke chain drive motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Suzuki for model years 1972–1977, with a range of engine capacities and cylinder counts. Certain markets received the GT380 until model year 1980. GT380, GT550, GT750 The initial lineup consisted of the GT380 three cylinder (marketed in North America as "Sebring"); GT550 three cylinder (marketed in North America as "Indy") and GT750 three cylinder (marketed in North America as "LeMans") Engines Engines were piston-ported two-stroke with Suzuki's multi-point oil injection system, marketed as ''Crankcase Cylinder Injection (CCI)'' (previously marketed as PosiForce), conventional battery/points ignition system and chain-type final drive. The motorcycles featured engines with Schnuerle porting. Alternators featured a three-phase excited field type using brushes and slip rings with a wound rotor. A solid-state rectifier and a mechanical three-step regulator completed the system. Previo ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Piston Ring
A piston ring is a metallic split ring that is attached to the outer diameter of a piston in an internal combustion engine or steam engine. The main functions of piston rings in engines are: # Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is minimal loss of gases to the crank case. # Improving heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall. # Maintaining the proper quantity of the oil between the piston and the cylinder wall # Regulating engine oil consumption by scraping oil from the cylinder walls back to the sump. Most piston rings are made from cast iron or steel. Design Piston rings are designed to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall. If this gap were too small, thermal expansion of the piston could mean the piston seizes in the cylinder, causing serious damage to the engine. On the other hand, a large gap would cause insufficient sealing of the piston rings against the cylinder walls, resulting in excessive blow-by (combustion gases entering th ...

Suzuki TR750
The Suzuki TR750 was a racing motorcycle from the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki, which was developed for Formula 750 racing. The machine was first raced at the 1972 Daytona 200. Barry Sheene won the 1973 season and was runner-up in 1975. History and Technology The motorcycle, designated ''XR 11'' within the group, was developed from the Suzuki GT750 road model, but none of the components were interchangeable. The performance-enhanced water-cooled in-line three-cylinder two-stroke engine had contactless thyristor magneto ignition and fuel was delivered via three 32 mm Mikuni carburettors. As with the production model, lubrication was carried out using fresh oil, the Suzuki CCI system (Crankshaft Cylinder Injection). The power was transferred to the rear wheel via a dry clutch and a five-speed gearbox. The usable speed range ranged from 6000 to 7500 rpm, the maximum torque (93 Nm) was reached at 7000 rpm. The double-loop tubular frame from the series had been lightened in order ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Bimota SB1 Motor
Bimota is an Italian manufacturer of Custom motorcycle, custom and production motorcycles. It was founded in 1973 in Rimini by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri, and Massimo Tamburini. The company name is a portmanteau derived from the first two letters of each of the three founders' surnames: Bianchi, Morri, and Tamburini. Products Because the state of Motorcycle frame, frame design was stagnant in the 1970s, Bimota concentrated initially on building high-quality motorcycle chassis around existing engines. From the beginning they customised the top models of Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kawasaki. During the late 1970s, Bimota also helped develop and build motorcycles branded as Lamborghinis. In the 1980s they also customised Yamaha Motor Corporation, Yamaha and Ducati motorcycles. Bimota's co-founder and long-time chief designer Massimo Tamburini, Tamburini has been an influential player in the development of other Italian brands, most significantly his work on ...

Suzuki T350
The Suzuki T350, also known as the Suzuki Rebel is a , two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1969 and 1972. The model was based T305 and used an enlarged version of the T305 engine, which itself was an enlargement of the T20 unit. It was the fastest production 350 at the time. In 1972 a T350 was overall winner of the Australian Castrol Six Hour Production race at Amaroo Park but was subsequently disqualified but the same bike won the 500cc class in 1973. The model was dropped when the T380 triple was introduced in 1972. Technical details Engine and transmission The T350's engine was an enlargement of the unit used in the T305, which had been introduced in 1968. The 180° piston ported two stroke twin was of unit construction and had alloy head and alloy barrels with cast iron liners. The T305's bore was increased 2mm to whilst the stroke remained at giving a displacement of . The engine had a compression ratio of 6.9:1. Fro ...

Suzuki T Series
The Suzuki T series was a series of motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki that ran from approximately 1963 through 1977 in various engine displacements between 90 and 500 cc. Construction All T-series engines used piston-ported, air-cooled, two-stroke engine, two-stroke, straight-twin engine, two-cylinder engines. Lubrication was provided via premix or automatic lubrication, automatic oil injection depending on the year and model. All models through the 1965 model year were of the premix type while all models from 1966 onwards used automatic oil injection. Models 250 cc and above were fitted with large twin leading shoe drum brakes until 1975 when disc front brakes were introduced. Models under 250 cc had single leading shoe brakes. Most models had six-speed gearboxes, enabling the factory tuner to raise engine speed with the consequent narrowing of the power band. History During the 1960s, Suzuki showed that it was serious about staying at the forefront of the motorcy ...

Mild Steel
Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: * no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; * the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40%; * or the specified maximum for any of the following elements does not exceed: manganese 1.65%; silicon 0.60%; and copper 0.60%. As the carbon content percentage rises, steel has the ability to become harder and stronger through heat treating; however, it becomes less ductile. Regardless of the heat treatment, a higher carbon content reduces weldability. In carbon steels, the higher carbon content lowers the melting point. The term may be used to reference steel that is not stainless steel; in this use carbon steel may include alloy stee ...

Disc Brake
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the #Calipers, calipers to squeeze pairs of #Brake pads, pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) to create friction. There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The energy of motion is converted into heat, which must be dissipated to the environment. Hydraulic brakes, Hydraulically Actuator, actuated disc brakes are the most commonly used mechanical device for slowing motor vehicles. The principles of a disc brake apply to almost any rotating shaft. The components include the disc, master cylinder, and caliper, which contain at least one cylinder and two Brake pad, brake pads on both sides of the rotating disc. Design The development of disc-type brakes began in England in the 1890s. In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed bra ...

Drum Brake
A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of Brake shoe, shoes or Brake pad, pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum. The term ''drum brake'' usually means a brake in which shoes press on the Brake lining, inner surface of the drum. When shoes press on the outside of the drum, it is usually called a ''Railway brake, clasp brake''. Where the drum is pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disc brake, it is sometimes called a ''pinch drum brake'', though such brakes are relatively rare. A related type called a band brake uses a flexible belt or "band" wrapping around the outside of a drum. History The modern automobile drum brake was first used in a car made by Wilhelm Maybach, Maybach in 1900, although the principle was only later patented in 1902 by Louis Renault (industrialist), Louis Renault. He used woven asbestos lining for the drum brake lining, as no alternative material dissipated heat more effectivel ...
