  2. Tire changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

    Motorcycle tire changers are less sophisticated than passenger car and light truck or heavy-duty tire changers because they deal with smaller and lighter tires and wheels. Motorcycle tire changers mainly provide a simple bead loosening system and rim clamps powered manually. Certain motorcycle tire changers can accommodate wheel diameters as ...

  3. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

    A tire bead is held in the groove by air pressure. A bead breaker is a tool used for separating tires from rims. The innermost diameter of the tire that interfaces with the rim of a wheel is called the tire bead. The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1]

  4. Motorcycle components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_components

    A motorcycle fork is the portion of a motorcycle that holds the front wheel and allows one to steer. For handling, the front fork is the most critical part of a motorcycle. The combination of rake and trail determines how stable the motorcycle is. The 'fork' on a motorcycle consists of multiple components.

  5. Beadlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

    A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle. Tires and wheels are designed so that when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together.

  6. Motorcycle tyre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_tyre

    A rear motorcycle tyre for street use. A motorcycle tyre (spelt tire in American English) is the outer part of motorcycle wheel, attached to the rim, providing traction, resisting wear, absorbing surface irregularities, and allowing the motorcycle to turn via countersteering.

  7. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should ...

  8. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

    Bicycle and motorcycle geometry is the collection of key measurements (lengths and angles) that define a particular bike configuration. Primary among these are wheelbase , steering axis angle, fork offset, and trail.

  9. Motorcycle Stability Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_Stability_Control

    The MSC system uses accelerometers and/or gyroscopic sensors to evaluate how close to the limit of adhesion the motorcycle is cornering. It reduces the allowable braking tire slip ratio, reducing the braking force, thus preventing the tire skid, and keeping the motorcycle from falling into the turn, or low-siding.
