In this series dedicated to learning the ins and outs of motorcycle electrical systems, we’re starting with the fundamental component: the motorcycle’s main switch. The motorcycle main switch is a vital component in the electrical system, serving two primary purposes. Firstly, it acts as a switch to control the flow of current, allowing you to …

In the context of motorcycle speed and performance, reducing air resistance (also known as aerodynamic drag) can contribute to higher speeds. Here’s how it works: Aerodynamic Drag: When a motorcycle is in motion, it encounters resistance from the air it moves through. This resistance is known as aerodynamic drag, and it acts against the motorcycle’s …

Yes, that’s correct. A higher gear ratio, often referred to as a “taller” gear, generally results in higher top speed but lower acceleration and torque. This is because a higher gear ratio allows the engine to turn fewer times for each rotation of the wheels, which results in higher speed for the same engine RPM. …
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your motorcycle seems to need extra gear right when riding? Usually, this occurs due to a higher sprocket ratio. You’re likely to experience this issue only when you’re pushing your motorcycle to its top speed, in other words, when you’re giving it your all. This situation …
