i have a motorcycle project due soon and i need help. so i need 2 each of different ways of a motorcycle creating heat (heat is created), using heat (how the heat is used), conserving heat(how the heat stays in), and eliminating heat(how the heat is taken out. thanks.(no rough comments please).
Slick 50 is still there. I like it.
all those additives are snake oil, not worth the $.
Heat is created by the combustion of fuel and by the brakes (friction) when stopping Engine heat (the burning of fuel) is used to create expanding gases in a cylinder forcing a piston down to create power. Thats a rough start. don't take answers from this guy though. He just learned about motorcycle heat by actually touching the engine burning his hand. silly move.
Basically, there are two different kinds of motorcycle cooling systems. Air cooled or liquid cooled. Air cooling depends on air flowing over metal fins on the outside of the cylinders to remove excess heat from the cylinders, while liquid cooled engines flow an antifreeze coolant around the cylinders and remove the heat through a radiator. In both systems, the exhaust pipes also help remove excess heat from the engine.
Create heat- Engine, brakes, tires Use heat- Engine, tires and brakes must be at the correct temp to work properly (especially tires) Conservation-Thermostat in a liquid cooled bike, tire warmers on a race bike (MotoGP bikes have carbon fibre brake disc rotors which must be very hot to work properly. They put little covers over the rotors so they wont cool down too much) Elimination- Fins on an air cooled engine, radiator on a liquid cooled bike.
