I am here after 4 years and with the ride height devices in motoGP is a testament to the master. kevin has been the foundation to my journey in the automotive field and I work fulltime as a suspension technician now and in my spare time building my own bikes in my parent's basement. its always back to the basics, so the flavour of the year is 2 strokes ofcourse. thank you cycle world.
I think it was Albert Einstein who said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Excellent explanation Kevin, many thumbs up. Thanks.
During the early 1980's I learn to read English in part, by High School English classes with teacher Marva but mainly by reading R/T and Cycle World magazines (besides lyrics on Hard Rock LPs and Playboy's...whatever...), one of my favorite sections of Cycle World was Peter Egan's Side Glances and Kevin Cameron's technical explanation of all sort of things happening on a bike. Today, I just learned something new, thanks to Kevin. On an internal combustion engine flagration and not explosion happens, quite a difference between the two and now I know why... it has to do with speed of burning and pressure. Thanks Kevin Cameron!
Pablo Céspedes Yes, the same for me, adding another master : Dennis Simanaitis R/T Technical Editor. I 'd like to watch those 3 masters reunited, would be awesome. From Brazil., nice job. 👍👍
I know it’s a six-year old Video, but it’s still fresh and on point. That top end almost looks like a Kawasaki Bighorn 350cc single. The stories that KC could tell about those things pressed into Roadrace duty...
Could you explain why each of these occur? Pre-ignition and detonation. As a bonus question, can you explain the whole warmup process for a common single cylinder motorcycle? Like the reason why a cold engine needs a some mechanism for enrichment to run properly.
