During the later years of Wetbikes (late 1980s) there were considerable advances, such as 60 hp Suzuki 800 cc engines, and Metton hulls, which were much lighter than previous models. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Eventually the Wetbike gave way to the new personal water craft (PWC) such as the Yamaha WaveRunner , mainly because the latter are much easier to ride ...
Choke valves are important for naturally-aspirated gasoline engines because small droplets of gasoline do not evaporate well within a cold engine. By restricting the flow of air into the throat of the carburetor, the choke valve reduces the pressure inside the throat, which causes a proportionally greater amount of fuel to be pushed from the ...
The John Deere Buck was John Deere's all-terrain vehicle, introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model. [1] The model was produced by Bombardier in a partnership between the two companies. [2] [3] The Buck was powered by a 500-cc or 650-cc Rotax engine. [2] It was not continued for the 2007 model year.
The BSA Lightning was designed as the all-round sports machine of the 1960s, [5] planned largely for export to the US market [6] to complement the touring Thunderbolt and the later development, the supersports Spitfire.
Another method used by carburetors to improve the operation of a cold engine is a fast idle cam, which is connected to the choke and prevents the throttle from closing fully while the choke is in operation. The resulting increase in idle speed provides a more stable idle for a cold engine (by better atomizing the cold fuel) and helps the engine ...
Notable new models included the Sach MadAss, the Sachs Roadster 125 (using a Yamaha virago 125 engine), Sachs Roadster 650 (using a Suzuki DR650 engine), a Sachs Roadster 800 (using a Suzuki VS800GL intruder engine) and it's derivative the Sach B-805, inspired by the Sachs Beast 1000 concept bike.
From 1971, T120 models used a new frame which contained the engine oil instead of using a separate tank (this became known as the oil in frame/'OIF' version). A five-speed gearbox finally was fully available by 1972, but competition from larger-capacity motorcycles led to the T120 being superseded by the 750 cc Bonneville T140 .
