Some high-performance sport bikes use a trigger-shift system, with a handlebar-mounted trigger, paddle, switch, or button, and an automatically operated clutch. [13] [106] [107] Some dirt bikes use this system, which is sometimes referred to as an auto-clutch transmission. [31] [29] [32] These include the Honda CRF110F [108] [109] and Yamaha TT ...
For the 2007 model year the TRX420 was only available in four configurations being either 2WD or 4WD and shifting with a manual foot shift or using Honda's Electronic Shift Program (ESP). However, in 2008 Honda introduced the TRX420FA (4WD Automatic) also known as the Rancher AT, as well as electronic power steering.
Honda introduced the Rincon as their new top-of-the-line ATV using their largest ATV liquid-cooled four-stroke engine. The Rincon was the first ATV to feature an automotive-style automatic 3 speed transmission which shifts either automatically or can be switched to manual mode (called the Electronic Shift Program).
Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, [12] electro-mechanical, [13] pneumatic, [6] [14] [15] electromagnetic ...
The Honda TRX250R was a sport ATV manufactured by Honda between 1986 and 1989. It combined a lightweight frame and good handling with a liquid-cooled two-stroke engine and six-speed close-ratio transmission.
Float shifting can reduce clutch wear because it is used so much less (only for starting from a standstill). Conversely, improper engagement of a gear (when the engine and transmission speeds aren't matched) can cause wear on the synchros and lockouts, and damage the gears by physically grinding them together due to a difference in speed.
Gear shift lever on a motorcycle (above the toe of the rider's boot) A sequential manual transmission is unsynchronized, and allows the driver to select either the next gear (e.g. shifting from first gear to second gear) or the previous gear (e.g., shifting from third gear to second gear), operated either via electronic paddle-shifters mounted behind the steering wheel or with a sequential ...
They are much less common than motorcycles with conventional manual transmissions, typically use a centrifugal clutch, and are mostly found on smaller motorcycles, such as minibikes, underbone (step-thru) motorcycles (e.g., the Honda Super Cub), smaller dirt bikes (such as pit bikes), and various (mostly older) mopeds and motor scooters. Semi ...
