2. Motorcycle transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_transmission

   Above a certain engine speed - when the bike is properly in motion, so the gearbox input shaft is also rotating quickly and so allowing the engine to accelerate further by way of clutch slip - the outward pressure of the weighted friction plates is sufficient that the clutch will enter full lock-up, the same as a conventional plate-clutch with ...

3. Pre-unit construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-unit_construction

   AJS racing motorcycle showing typical pre-unit construction engine and gearbox layout with mounting plates, slotted holes and screw-thread adjusters visible. Pre-unit construction, [1] also called separate construction, is a motorcycle engine architecture where the engine and gearbox are separate components with their own oil reservoirs, linked by a driving chain within a primary chaincase.

4. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

   The crankshaft configuration varies amongst opposed-engine designs. One layout has a flat/boxer engine at its center and adds an additional opposed-piston to each end so there are two pistons per cylinder on each side. An X engine is essentially two V engines joined by a common crankshaft. A majority of these were existing V-12 engines ...

   A Honda Super Cub engine. The most popular motorcycle in history, with over 100 million produced. A motorcycle engine is an engine that powers a motorcycle.Motorcycle engines are typically two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engines, but other engine types, such as Wankels and electric motors, have been used.

6. Transfer case - Wikipedia

   Inside of a 231 New Process Gear transfer case. Part-time/Manual, shift on the fly. A transfer case is an intermediate gearbox that transfers power from the transmission of a motor vehicle to the driven axles of four-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and other multi-axled on- and off-road machines.

7. Flat-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin_engine

   Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.

8. Ducati L-twin engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducati_L-twin_engine

   The camshaft belts were on the opposite side to the bevel gear shaft drives on earlier engines. The engine had been developed for Taglioni outside Ducati by Armaroli, and featured the reversed head layout found in the later Paso where the inlet ports face each other. It produced 74 bhp (55 kW) at 12,000 rpm, not a big increase. MV continued to win.

9. List of motorcycles by type of engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motorcycles_by...

   A transverse engine is an engine mounted in a vehicle so that the engine's crankshaft axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel. In a longitudinal engine configuration, the engine's crankshaft axis is parallel with the direction of travel. However, the description of the orientation of "V" and "flat" motorcycle engines differs from this ...
