i am a student of mechanical engineering and intend to undertake my final year project on employing ABS in motorcycles.Does anyone have a line diagram or figure or anything of the sort to help me know how to get started?
I think you'll find a few engineering solutions to the same ABS question when it comes to motorcycles. The evolution in technology, and the different manufacturers will just do things differently. With that in mind, I think your best bet is to follow the lineage of ONE make or model's ABS system, and then purchase that bike's shop manual. The shop manual should offer exploded-view diagrams of every component on the bike, including the ABS module, master cylinder, etc. etc. The shop manual may cost you $30-60 today, but you can sell it on eBay (or get yours there to begin with) when you're done and get a lot of that money back. an email to the engineering department of a major manufacturer MIGHT yield some results too, but I wouldn't count on them being quick. good luck!
they wanted to call it a pizza but that name was already taken.
My street bike has ABS. 1992 BMW K100rs. I think it was the first year of the ABS in the USA. Just playing around with it, it's rough compared to new stuff. The rear wheel feels like it locks up, but quickly releases, then comes on hard again.
BMW came out with ABS on their bikes way back in the 1980s. Almost all the major manufacturers have ABS on at least one of their models these days. Probably best to just contact one of them, Triumph, Harley, BMW, any Japanese company. The state of the art uses computers (of course) to control when the ABS kicks in. There were older systems, going back to maybe WW2, that used mechanicals to try to detect if the wheel was slowing faster than it should, tried first on aircraft I believe. Good luck, sounds like an interesting project. Some of my college buds built an EFI system-from scratch-for one of their design projects.
