1996-1997 250-260 LQ – Owners Manual THE NEW ATK Most American motorcyclists share a common Your beautiful ATK Liquid-Cooled motorcycle is dream—to manufacturer an American-made proof that the New ATK is right on target. Only motorcycle that sets new standards for quality, the creative thinking of ATK could conceive and performance, creative design and fresh engi commit to building such a machine. Comprising neering concepts. That dream, and a commit the design's integrity and quality with the use of ment to transform the dream into reality, gave anything less than the best components was birth to ATK Motorcycles back in 1983. never considered. That's why every new ATKLQ is fitted with Answer Protaper handlebars, billet The first ATK model, a light-weight four-stroke aluminum triple clamps and wheel hubs, chrome Single, caused a great deal of excitement moly steel frames and swingarms, WP forks and among the press and anxious buyers. Additional shocks, stainless steel brake rotors and brake ATK models followed, including two-stroke hoses, huge radiators, nickel-plated or stainless Singles. As the demand for ATK's unique, no steel exhaust systems, premium tires and compromise motorcycles grew, production completely maintenance-free rear suspension facilities became crowded. systems. ATK's factory moved to larger quarters in L.A. We at ATK are extremely proud of our motorcy during 1990, and then to Centerville, Utah, just cles.

    DEVELOPMENT OF PLUG-IN AIR POWERED FOUR WHEELS MOTORCYCLE DRIVETRAIN CONTROL UNIT TAN BENG LENG Report submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for award of the Degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Automotive Engineering Faculty of Mechanical Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG JUNE 2013 v ABSTRACT This thesis is related to the development of plug-in air powered four wheel motorcycles drive train system that transfers rotational energy from power train to the driving wheel. The objective of this thesis is to develop an air hybrid drivetrain unit and control the power and torque from the powertrain to the driving wheel by using sequential manual transmission. This thesis describes the process of developing sequential shift-by-wire system to make gear shifting for easier for 4 wheel motorcycle. The controller used in this project was 18F PIC 4550 microprocessor. The system programming performed using FLOWCODE version 4.0. 2 units of electromechanical linear actuator were used in this project as an actuator for gear shifting on a manual transmission. Chain drives were selected as power transfer linkage from air hybrid engine to the driving wheel with under drive configuration. Besides the development of shift-by-wire system, the torque on the driving wheel also had been calculated and analysed. In additional, the maximum speed that can be achieved by four wheel motorcycles was also calculated. vi ABSTRAK Tesis ni berkaitan dengan pembangunan sistem pacuan yang memindahkan tenaga putaran ke roda pacuan untuk “plug-in hybrid air powered” motosikal empat roda.

(Received August 19, 1998; Accepted May 19, 1999) ABSTRACT This paper presents a systematic approach to designing new automatic transmission systems for motorcycles, including conceptual design, kinematic design, efficiency analysis, engine and transmission matching, and prototype developing and testing. The basic concept is to combine a stepped design and a stepless one into a hybrid transmission system. Four hybrid transmission systems, consisting of a two degrees of freedom planetary gear train and a rubber V-belt drive unit, are synthesized. Two operating regimes over the full speed ratio range are obtained by means of engaged clutches. Kinematic design of the hybrid transmission systems is employed to obtain the major dimensions. Based on the power flow and efficiency analysis, formulas for the mechanical efficiency of the transmission systems are derived. The transmission theory of the V-belt drive unit is studied. The design procedure for matching the power source and transmission is presented. A testing rig was designed and constructed. A prototype of this new hybrid transmission system was developed to measure the transmission efficiency and test the operat- ing characteristics. The results show that the proposed design is theoretically correct and practically feasible. Key Words: motorcycle, hybrid transmissions, conceptual design, kinematic design, mechanical efficiency I.

  • 1 18-Gtrbr-05 Motorcycle Brake Systems
    18-GTRBR-05 MOTORCYCLE BRAKE SYSTEMS gtr - TECHNICAL REPORT - 1. Introduction During the 58th session of the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF), a formal proposal for a global technical regulation (gtr) concerning Motorcycle Brake Systems was presented, along with the accompanying “Statement of Technical Rationale and Justification”. This Technical Report serves to provide additional detail regarding the technical rationale for the respective requirements within the proposed gtr. 2. General The proposed gtr on Motorcycle Brake Systems consists of a compilation of the most stringent and relevant tests procedures and performance requirements from current standards and regulations. The informal group reviewed the existing requirements on various levels, including estimating the relative severity of the requirements as well as considering the original rationales and appropriateness of the tests to modern conditions and technologies. As a result of the comparison process, the selected performance requirements within the gtr are mainly developed from the UN/ECE Regulation No. 78 (ECE), the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 122 (FMVSS) and the Japanese Safety Standard JSS 12-61 (JSS). The selected format for the gtr text is based on the Alternative format for regulations with many different requirements and test procedures, as described in TRANS/WP.29/883, and was chosen to facilitate quick reference and understanding of the requirements. While developing the gtr, the informal group endeavoured to clarify discrepancies in the referenced tests, to assure a better understanding and the consistency in the way the respective tests are conducted. The gtr is comprised of several fundamental tests, each with their respective performance requirements.

Abstract: Motorcycles, generally seen around the choices for many automotive companies. Let it be world has chain drive transmission system to Chain, Belt or Shaft drive, but it is supposed to transmit the power generated from the engine to transmit the power and torque to the rear wheel the rear wheel. But there are few other types of with the highest efficiency. (Mechanical efficiency transmission drive like Belt Drive and Shaft Drive can simply be defined as the ratio of the work input to do the same work. All three of them (Chain, Belt to the work output, of a system.) and Shaft Drive) have their own advantages and disadvantages over different parameters like If we want to attain maximum efficiency, all mechanical efficiency, power transmission, components must have minimum losses and final durability, maintenance, usage, and cost. The drive is one the component which has a direct proper study of all the three drives has been influence on efficiency and losses due to friction, discussed in this paper. It also enlightens the as it is almost present in the open space and its difference between them and which one is better maintenance and lubrication depends completely over other in which kind of circumstances. on the owner and mechanic completely. Loss of power or lower efficiency in these drives 1. Introduction: depends on various other factors like friction, air Motorcycles are one of the best creations of the resistance, inertia, lubrication, wear, tear, and slag mechanical engineering.
