What Does Motorcycle Stroke Mean?
1 Answers
Motorcycle stroke refers to the distance the piston travels from the bottom dead center to the top dead center. Below is relevant information about motorcycle strokes: 1. Two-stroke: The crankshaft completes one revolution (i.e., the piston moves up and down once) to form a working cycle. Since the piston moves up and down once, it is called a two-stroke. 2. Four-stroke: This process takes twice as long as a two-stroke, meaning the crankshaft completes two revolutions, and the piston moves up and down a total of four times to complete a working cycle, hence it is called a four-stroke. Additionally, the engine oil for four-stroke motorcycles is interchangeable, so a four-stroke scooter can definitely use the four-stroke oil meant for a standard motorcycle.
