A Guide To Motorcycle Parts And Their Functions

A motorcycle is composed of various of parts, and each of them has their functions. In this paper, we are going to explain each parts of the motorcycle. And you may have a complete understanding on the motorcycle.

Motorcycle Bumper

Generally speaking, the safety factor of driving a motorcycle is low. Installing a solid bumper on the motorcycle is an important measure to ensure safe driving. The function of the motorcycle bumper is mainly cushion and protection.

When falls, it is the bumper firstly contacts the road surface if the motorcycle is equipped with a bumper, and then the bumper deforms under the action of force, which consumes the kinetic energy of the motorcycle, playing the role of cushioning and protecting the motorcycle and reduces the damage to the body.

At the same time, due to the lateral support of the bumper, the bumper and exhaust pipe land first when the motorcycle falls to the ground, creating a safe space for the driver, especially the protection of legs when falling. Motorcycles without bumpers will press people’ legs when they fall. Even if they are not hurt when falls, the temperature of the engine and muffler is very high, it is also easy to burn.

Motorcycle Rectifier

The rectifier of the motorcycle plays the role of rectification and voltage regulation. The electricity generated by the magneto of the motorcycle is alternating current and unstable, which is directly proportional to the engine speed. This voltage can be up to more than 60 volts!

The rectifier of the motorcycle rectifies the alternating current sent by the magneto into direct current, and then adjusts it to about 14 volts to charge the electrical appliances on the vehicle, including the battery. If the rectifier is broken, the battery will naturally be unable to charge. The damage of the rectifier leads to some no voltage output (most), while some output voltage is too high! It should be replaced as soon as possible. It is recommended to buy it from a reliable motorcycle rectifier manufacturer, the quality can be guaranteed.

Motorcycle Clutch

The main function of the clutch is to play a buffering role between the engine and the driving mechanism, cut off the power transmission during starting and shifting, and make the power output of the engine more gently transmitted, so as to reduce the damage of the engine.

If the shift forward rush only occurs when the car is cold but not when the car is hot, it is the problem of oil. The viscosity of oil will increase when the temperature is low and stick to the clutch plate. Generally, it is difficult to solve the problem in a short time by simply changing the oil. The most effective way is to disassemble the clutch and clean it, and then change it into qualified oil. KALIDA is a famous china motorcycle clutch manufacturer.

Motorcycle Shock Absorber

The function of motorcycle shock absorber is to alleviate and attenuate the impact and vibration of motorcycle due to uneven road during driving, ensure the smoothness and comfort of driving, and improve the service life and handling stability of motorcycle. Motorcycles are equipped with OEM shock absorber generally.

Well, we introduce bumpers, rectifiers, clutches, and shock absorbers in this paper. There are other motorcycle parts such as pedals, lights, muffler and etc. Welcome to follow us if you want to learn more information about motorcycle parts.
