Combustion Chambers (and a little engine theory)

The combustion chamber is the area inside the engine where the fuel/air mixture is compressed and then ignited. It is generally formed on one side by the shape cast into the cylinder head, and on the other side by the top of the piston. When the piston is at top-dead-center the chamber is at its smallest dimension, and this is the time when the fuel/air mixture is at its most unstable condition and ready to be ignited. The better the combustion chamber is designed the better the engine "breathes;" that is, the more efficient the overall flow of air through the engine.

Types of Shock Absorber

A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. Shock absorbers are basically oil pumps. A piston is attached to the end of the piston rod and works against hydraulic fluid in the pressure tube. As the suspension travels up and down, the hydraulic fluid is forced through tiny holes, called orifices, inside the piston. However, these orifices let only a small amount of fluid through the piston. This slows down the piston, which in turn slows down spring and suspension movement.

Choosing and Installing a Motorcycle Battery

Although a motorcycle battery and other types of vehicle batteries are built for longevity, over time batteries will slow down and eventually wear out. This occurs when the sulfate that flows over the plates begins to build up a residue on the plates, slowly diminishing the conductivity. In this article you'll find useful information for choosing, installing, and maintaining your next motorcycle battery.
