What is the Structure of a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle structure is as follows: 1. Engine Block: The engine block consists of three parts: the cylinder head, cylinder body, and crankcase. The cylinder head is cast from aluminum alloy with cooling fins. Modern four-stroke motorcycle engines adopt an overhead valve, chain-driven, overhead camshaft structure. 2. Crank Connecting Rod: The crankshaft of a motorcycle engine is of a combined type, formed by pressing together the left half crankshaft, right half crankshaft, and crank pin. Ball bearings are installed on the main journal of both half shafts to support the crankshaft in the crankcase. The two ends of the crankshaft are equipped with a flywheel, magneto, and clutch drive gear respectively. 3. Carburetor: The carburetor is an important component of the motorcycle's fuel supply system, located between the air filter and the engine intake. The carburetor structure mainly consists of two parts: the float chamber and the mixing chamber. 4. Lubrication System: Four-stroke engines use a combination of splash lubrication and pressure lubrication. Two-stroke engines generally adopt a mixed lubrication method by blending a certain proportion of QB-grade gasoline engine oil into the gasoline. 5. Starting System: Motorcycles primarily use a kick-start mechanism. The starting mechanism includes a sector gear starting mechanism, represented by the Xingfu XF250 motorcycle. The kick-start gear lever drives the sector gear, starting ratchet, clutch assembly sprocket, front chain, and crankshaft sprocket to rotate the crankshaft and start the engine.
