The Return of Reynolds
FRAME TECHNOLOGY The Return of Reynolds Reynolds Technology has a history that stretches back over a century with much of it in the motorcycle industry as the supplier of steel tubing for frame manufacturers. Having left the industry a while ago, it is now planning a return with some high-grade material that fits with its image as a high-performance engineering company as Peter Jones reports. For something as handling of the infamous Honda its material technology for the apparently mundane as steel RC181. tubes it manufactures today. This tubing, Reynolds Technology has Reynolds’ backing for its frame approach has certainly paid a somewhat celebrity status in building went as far as offering dividends in its increasing share motorcycle racing history.

Sport Tourer2016
SPORT TOURER 2016 OUR HERITAGE KAWASAKI REPRESENTS A UNIQUE ENGINEER ING HERITAGE AND A WEALTH OF TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE COMBINED WITH PASSION, PERFORMANCE AND INDIVIDUALITY. You can’t buy or “invent” heritage, that’s why our history of creating iconic machines is the envy of other manufacturers and celebrated with such enthusiasm by loyal Kawasaki riders the world over. Our hard won reputation for manufacturing provocative and distinctive motorcycles creates a positive point of difference in a 2 world of uniformity and sets Kawasaki apart. WILL TO WIN CLIMBING TO THE HIGHEST PODIUM STEP IS THE AMBITION OF EVERY KAWASAKI RACER AND TEAM. FROM LOCAL EVENTS TO NATIONAL SERIES AND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, NINJA AND KX MACHINES HELP REALISE THE AMBITIONS OF COUNTLESS RIDERS WITH AN UNQUENCHABLE WILL TO WIN. With wins in MXGP and MX2, the Kawasaki Will to Win was amplified by Ninja riders on the world stage in 2015. World Superbike dominance by Jonathan Rea brought him the SBK crown on the Ninja ZX-10R while Kawasaki secured manufacturer and team Championships. In World Supersport and FIM Stock 600, Kawasaki Puccetti Racing took both Championships with Kenan Sofuoglu and Toprak Razgatlioglu. 4 FUTURE FOCUS Can Rea make it back to back wins or will Sykes capture a second title in 2016, and who would bet against Sofuoglu making it five WSS Championships. With new riders in MXGP and MX2 plus Livia Lancelot determined to be Kawasaki’s first ever woman’s MX champ, it’s time to focus on the future. TAKE YOUR TURN Tom Sykes rose through local and domestic track racing and Jonathan Rea started as a schoolboy KX85 rider while Livia Lancelot has risen to the top level of women’s motocross taking on and beating the men’s lap times. -

Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders Motorcycle, for Scootermoped and Improving Safety Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders
Improving SafetyImproving and forScooter Moped Motorcycle, Riders Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world’s large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020. This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

Design and Experimental Validation of a Carbon Fibre Swingarm Test Rig
DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF A CARBON FIBRE SWINGARM TEST RIG Reno Kocheappen Chacko A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, of the University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering March 2013 Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted to the Degree of Master of Science to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other University. …………………………………………………………………………… (Signature of Candidate) ……….. day of …………….., …………… i Abstract The swingarm of a motorcycle is an important component of its suspension. In order to test the durability of swingarms, a dedicated test rig was designed and realized. The test rig was designed to load the swingarm in the same way the swingarm is loaded on the test track. The research report structure is as follows: relevant literature related to automotive component testing, current swingarm test rig models and composite swingarms were outlined. The Leyni bench, a rig specifically developed by Ducati to test swingarm reliability was shown to be effective but lacked the ability to apply variable loads. The objective of this research was to design and experimentally validate a swingarm test rig to evaluate swingarm performance at different loads. The methodology, the components of the test rig and the instrumentation required to achieve the objectives of the research were presented. The elastic modulus of the carbon fibre swingarm material was calculated using classical laminate theory. The strains and stresses within a swingarm during testing were analysed. -

A REVIEW PAPER on ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) and ITS ADVANCEMENT Dr
International Journal of Management, Technology And Engineering ISSN NO : 2249-7455 A REVIEW PAPER ON ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND ITS ADVANCEMENT Dr. Deepak Kumar, Shivam Sharma, Shubham Singh, 1,2 B.Tech Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Poornima Group of Institutions. 3 Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Poornima Group of Institutions. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT With the advancement of technology the protection problems which have been related to the vehicles and automation has been significantly decreased, considered one of such technology is anti-lock braking system popularly referred to as ABS system. Through the development of this technology some of injuries had been decreased. However this system does now not work correctly for detrimental road situation. To triumph over this disadvantage vehicle industry got here up with new technology including EBFD, TCS, ESC. In this paper we speak the methods of ABS and its advance technology. KEYWORDS: ABS, ECU (Electronic Control Unit), TCU (Traction Control Unit), DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) INTRODUCTION An ABS is the abbreviation for Anti-lock Braking device. The first motor driven vehicle turned into added in 1885 and the prevalence of first riding coincidence in 1896, engineers have been decide to lessen using accidents and enhance the safety of vehicles. to start with earlier than era of electronics, mechanical settings take location to meet necessities. The first mechanical anti- lock braking machine had been added in aircraft in 1929 by means of French automobile and aircraft pioneer Gabriel Voisin. The first genuine electronic four-wheel multi-channel ABS changed into co-advanced by Chrysler and Bendix for the 1971 imperial called “positive wreck”.
