Take you to learn about motorcycle clutch

Motorcycle clutch is an important component of motorcycle power output system, and after years of development, different types of clutch systems have gradually formed. The following is the development process of motorcycle clutch.

1. The birth of manual clutch

In the past, the clutch of motorcycles was manually operated, requiring riders to shift gears with their feet and pull the clutch with their palms to obtain power output. This operation method is relatively cumbersome and difficult to operate, which is not conducive to cycling safety.

2. The appearance of semi-automatic clutch

The semi-automatic clutch adopts an electromagnetic pump or hydraulic cylinder instead of manually pulling the clutch, making the clutch operation more convenient and fast, without the need for manual control of the clutch, improving the driving experience. Semi automatic clutch can be said to be a significant improvement in clutch technology.

3. Application of CVT continuously variable transmission system

CVT continuously variable transmission is achieved by adjusting the diameter ratio of two transmission wheels to achieve continuous continuously variable speed. This transmission method is smoother than traditional target wheel transmission, and can achieve faster acceleration performance, higher fuel economy, and lower emissions.

4. The birth of electronic controlled clutch

Electronic controlled clutch is an emerging clutch technology in recent years. During the clutch operation, the electronic pulse controls the operation of the clutch oil pump to achieve the goal of clutch operation. This clutch method requires lower physical strength from the rider and is more convenient, fast, and accurate to operate.

5. Promotion of hydraulic transmission clutch

Hydraulic transmission clutch is a new type of clutch transmission method that utilizes the pressure of oil to achieve clutch disengagement. Due to its small size, light weight, and large transmission torque, it has been widely used and promoted.

The motorcycle clutch is constantly iterating and upgrading with the development of the times, and each generation of updates brings us a better riding experience. It will also shine infinitely in future development.

The clutch of a motorcycle is an important device that controls communication between the engine and transmission. Mastering the characteristics of motorcycle clutch is very important for riders.

1. Composition of motorcycle clutch

The motorcycle clutch consists of a clutch housing, spacers, friction plates, clutch pressure plates, clutch pressure plates, etc. Among them, the pressure of the clutch pressure plate and clutch pressure plate is the key to determining the output torque of the clutch.

2. Working principle of motorcycle clutch

When the clutch lever is not pulled, the clutch operates under the spring force of the pressure plate, the friction plate contacts the flywheel, and the engine transmits torque to the transmission; When the clutch lever is pulled up, the clutch operates between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel, and the clutch pressure plate involves the friction plate leaving the flywheel, disconnecting the connection between the engine and transmission, achieving shifting and parking.

3. Characteristics of motorcycle clutch

Motorcycle clutches have the following characteristics:

The clutch system of a motorcycle can better cooperate with the transmission, providing smooth starting and shifting operations, allowing riders to better control the speed and road conditions.

When the clutch is in a constant friction state, especially in the hands of skilled riders, there may be situations where the friction plates wear out too quickly.

Wear or improper adjustment can lead to reduced output torque or abnormal noise, requiring timely maintenance and replacement.

4. Maintenance of motorcycle clutch

In daily cycling, attention should be paid to the following clutch maintenance items:

The clutch should avoid air bombardment and starting with air bombardment to avoid unnecessary damage to the clutch.

The clutch should not have too much oil or impurities, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the clutch.

The friction surface of the clutch plate should not be too thin, otherwise it will affect the working performance of the clutch.

After parking for a long time, the clutch between the engine and transmission should be disengaged to avoid friction and wear.

5. Precautions

During cycling, attention should be paid to the following clutch usage precautions:

Do not keep shifting gears and rumbling in high-speed driving or off-road terrain to avoid frequent wear and aging of the clutch.

Do not excessively pull the clutch lever to avoid excessive wear on the clutch.

In rainy or slippery road conditions, the coordinated operation of the clutch should be more careful and cautious.

The clutch is an important component of the motorcycle transmission system, characterized by high sensitivity, fast wear, and poor adjustability. In daily cycling, riders need to pay attention to the maintenance and use of the clutch to ensure the normal operation and safe driving of the motorcycle.
