YAMAHA 2010 YZF-R1







YAMAHA 2010 YZF-R1 Key Features:
  • The YZF-R1 garnered the prestigious award as the 2009 Motorcycle of the Year from Motorcyclist Magazine. The YZF-R1 was chosen for its MotoGP®-inspired engine and chassis technology, and for its luxurious fit and finish.
  • Back for 2010, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high rpm power of an inline four. This breakthrough technology on the YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance
  • This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T™ (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.
  • The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. The “A” mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the low- to mid-speed range, and the “B” mode offers response that is somewhat less sharp for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. Switching maps is as easy as pushing a button on the handlebar switch. 
  • In keeping with this machine’s exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance. The rear frame is lightweight Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes SOQI front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics
  • The bodywork does more than add break-away-from-the-crowd styling with its more serious, less busy look. The side fairing is smooth for a sleek appearance. And, instead of the usual four-bulb headlight design, the R1 has only two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike. This positions ram air ducts closer in for a more compact, smooth look. In addition, the rounded lenses are unique to the supersport industry.
Engine
  • Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on MotoGP machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval. Unlike typical inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move together in pairs with 180° intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° – 180° – 90° – 180°. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics. Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners.
  • To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft
  • This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight
  • A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise.
  • Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust emissions. The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through from the unique crossplane crankshaft-equipped engine is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport
  • This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle), the MotoGP-inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. There’s also YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, the variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. Fuel injectors have 12 holes for optimum fuel atomization that translates to the most power from every fuel charge.
  • Have it your way, thanks to Yamaha D-MODE (or “Drive Mode”) variable throttle control. There are three modes that control how YCC-T responds to throttle input from the rider. The selectable “A” mode puts more emphasis on engine response in low to midrange rpm. “B” mode, on the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. Selecting the map you want is as easy as pressing a button on the handlebars.

Motorcycles in the era of History



The motorcycle has a long history in this country. The motorcycle is already present in this country since I was under Dutch occupation, and was named the East Indies, Oost Indie, or East India.

Existing data mentions that motorcycle present in Indonesia since the year 1893 or 115 years ago. Uniquely, although at the time this country was still under Dutch occupation, the first person who has a motorcycle in this country are not the Dutch, but English people. And, the man named John C Potter, the day-to-day work as a Machinist First Oemboel sugar factory (see Bannerman) Probolinggo, East Java.


In the book of Satan Crete (de duivelswagen) told how John C Potter books themselves booked into the motorcycle manufacturer, Hildebrand und Wolfmüller, in Munich, Germany.
The bike arrived in 1893, one year before the first car arrived in this country. That makes John C Potter became the first person in this country who use motor vehicles.
Hildebrand made motorcycle und Wolfmüller was not using chains, not to use gears, not using a magnet, not using the battery (batteries), not using the coil, and not using electric cables.
The motorcycle was carrying a horizontal two-cylinder engine that uses gasoline or naphtha. It takes about 20 minutes to turn on and a stable engine.

In 1932, this motorcycle was found in damaged condition in the garage at the residence of John C Potter. The bike is sitting for 40 years on the corner of the garage in the untreated state and rust.
Top-mechanic mechanic help marines in Surabaya, a motorcycle's John C Potter was restored (corrected as before) and stored in the editorial office weekly De Motor. Then the antique motorcycle museum trafficked into traffic in Surabaya, which is now no longer known where the location.

Along with the number of cars, the number of motorcycles continues to grow. Born clubs touring motorcycle, whose members are brass planters and sugar factories. Motorcycle brands sold in this country, starting from the Reading Standard, Excelsior, Harley Davidson, Indian, King Dick, Brough Superior, Henderson, to Norton. Brands present motorcycles in this country can be seen from the ads motorcycle that was published in newspapers at the time of the year 1916 until 1926.

Cross Java

Not to be outdone by car drivers, motorcycle riders were trying to record a record for the trip across Java from Batavia (Jakarta) to Soerabaja (Surabaya) which is about 850 kilometers.

Then, May 16, 1917, Frits undergraduate and Wim uijmers which in turn Wygchel motorcycle repair Excelsior posted record Gerrit de Raadt. They record 20 hours and 24 minutes, with an average speed of 42 kilometers per hour.

The record did not last long. Nine days later, May 24, 1917, Goddy Younge with Harley-Davidson motorcycle to record a new record with a record 17 hours and 37 minutes, with an average speed of 48 miles per hour.
Record that had lasted for five months before it was broken by Barend about that Dam Indian motorcycle in 15 hours and 37 minutes on September 18, 1917, with an average speed of 52 miles per hour.

See his record broken by Barend ten Dam, six days later, 24 September 1917, Goddy Younge from Semarang carve out a new record again with a record 14 hours and 11 minutes, and the speed of Harley Davidson motorcycles are driven an average of 60 miles per hour .

In the early 1960s, began to enter all the Vespa scooter, which was followed by Lambretta scooters in the late 1960s. At that time, in all Japanese motorcycles, Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and later.
Along with the passage of time, Japanese motorcycles dominate the motorcycle market in the country. The top is occupied by Honda, followed by Yamaha in second place and Suzuki in third place. (JL)

OHC Jawa


The Jawa 500 OHC was built in Czechslovakia from the early to mid 50's.Four-stroke air-cooled OHC twin cylinder. Displacement 488 cc (bore and stroke 65 x73.6 mm). Engine power 19.1 kW at 5500 r.p.m.
They also made single-wheeled trailers and sidecars for it. Above are various ads from Jawa promoting the 350cc OHC version, as well as their "hi-tech" factory.1956 Jawa 500 OHC from the Czech Republic. It has a bevel gear drive overhead camshaft. It is nicely restored in the original paint combination.
Compression ratio 7 to 1
Vertical shaft camshaft drive. Lubrication by three-way pump located on the frame ahead of the rear mudguard. Four-speed gearbox in unit with engine.Maximum speed 135 km/hour.Simple closed, in the rear bifurcating frame made with square steel sections. Slider type rear wheel suspension. Telescopic front fork. Multi-plate clutch in oil bath, automatically disengaged by gear pedal movement. Weight 156 kg.
Within a few years the situation straightened out and some customers began to demand a more powerful machine. In as early as 1950 a half-litre had been prepared to be put in serial production in 1952, model mark 15/00. It was an air-cooled four-stroke OHC twin cylinder with vertical shaft and worm gear camshaft drive, hence nicknamed the "Snek" ("Snail" or "Worm" in Czech) displacement 488 cc (65x73.5), power output 19.1 kW (26 HP) at 5500 r.p.m. The gearbox was four-speed, ignition by Lucas magneto soon replaced by PAL coil, and battery system with 60 W dynamo. The following 15/01 model featured reconstructed valve gear with Gleason type bevel gearing. Lubrication was by oil pump, the capacity of the separate oil tank was 4.5 litres. The motor cycle frame was of the JAWA 250 type duly reinforced with the possibility of sidecar attachment. The front wheel suspension was by telescopic fork with oil dampers; that of the rear wheel by coil springs. The 16 litre capacity tank was joined by swinging saddle, of a similar type like the 250 model. Front tyre size was 3.25 - 19, rear tyre size 3.50 – 19, weight 156 kg, maximum speed 135 km/hour, average consumption about 4 litres per 100 km.

Harley-Davidson



Harley-Davidson motorcycles have a strong enough brand and attracted many major motorcycle lovers. The older, the motor will be the hunted.

Harley to get the older type of output JE 1925, he was willing to sell Harley UL type output in 1948 has ever won I carried in a contest. And who would buy the motor is in disrepair to one another or even more accurately called destroyed.

Framework of the body, engine, tanks, and veleg in separate conditions, dull, and lots of rust. Even to get a longer cable original body, he had orders to Texas. While for the restoration of the motor as the original and could walk again, he must be willing to wait around 3-4 months.

In addition to a fairly old age, among 20 other contestants motors, special motors are located on the valve position outside the machine. In addition, to lubricate the engine, there are manual pump to be pressed every street around 2 mill. Or, if the vehicle is the lot across the street ramp.

"The sign, if the engine sounds noisy or a little rough, then the oil should be pumped into the engine manually. But if the exhaust has a lot of smoke or the smoke out, then the oil should be discarded or in tap, "

vespa motorcycles earlier times




 
vespa

Vespa is the first time motorcycles output with 125cc specifications and unique shapes.
Historical Origins Vespa began more than a century ago, precisely 1884. Piaggio company was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1884 by Rinaldo Piaggio. Rinaldo business starting ship equipment. But at the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail train, train car, truck body, engine and train. In World War I, the company produces and ships Aircraft Sea. In 1917 Piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa, and 4 years later Rinaldo took over a small plant in Pontedera in the Tuscany region of Italy. This factory in Pontedera which became central production aircraft and their components (propellers, engines and aircraft) During World War II, the Pontedera factory making aircraft engines P108 for two passengers and Version Pembom.muncul Back At the end of World War II , Piaggio factory bombed by allied aircraft. After the war ended, Enrico Piaggio Piaggio took over from his father (Rinaldo Piaggio). At the time Italy's economy was deteriorating, Enrico decided to design a cheap means of transportation. Enrico decided to focus attention on the problem of company requisite personal mobility Italian society. Then join Corradino D'Ascanio, aviation engineer who designed the gifted, to draft and flew a helicopter Modern First Piaggio. D'Ascanio to design a simple, economical, comfortable and elegant. D'Ascanio envisioned a revolutionary new vehicle. By taking a picture of aircraft technology, he imagined a vehicle built with a "monocoque" or unibody Steel Chassis. Tires front fork like landing a plane which is easy for replacement tires. The result of a design inspired by aircraft reply is that until this is different from other vehicles. So in 1945, construction of an alternative was found. Initially was a concept bike has a steel frame with rounded curves like a tunnel. Surprisingly, the trigger is designed to use the bomb components and wheels taken from a plane wheel and combat. Optimize the security of its users, the manufacturer who was then still somewhat in an effort''sidewalk''cover board design on the front foot. This project directly led by Corradino D'Ascanio. Therefore, any patents they can immediately results. Results, first appeared in motor products MP5 series. This vehicle is a simple technology but have very interesting shapes, like animal sting (bees / wasps) because of the frame. However, because of the security cover as a surfboard, a number of workers at the Piaggio factory had even said it as a motor Paperino. Please remember, Paperino is a cynical satire to character Donald Duck (duck). So, d'Ascanio play any reason to improve the model. D 'Ascanio only takes a few days to re-conceptualize the design of the vehicle and the prototype is named MP6. When Enrico Piaggio saw protototip MP6, he accidentally called out "Sambra Una Vespa" (looks like a wasp). Finally, the appeal was not deliberate, it was decided this vehicle called the 'Vespa' (wasps in Indonesian). In April 1946, it began MP6 prototype mass-produced in the Piaggio factory in Pontedera, Italia.Pada End 1949, has been in production and 35,000 units in 10 years has produced 1 million units and in mid-1950. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Vespa became a symbol of the revolution of ideas in the next itu. development time, these products were selling the market absorbed the French, British, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, and India - in addition to the domestic market these products sold as peanuts. In addition, India also produces the type and form of the same by taking Bajaj engines. Type is Bajaj and Bajaj Super Deluxe. Several parties then filed a joint application for a Vespa. So in 1950 Vespa 125 cc appears artificial Jerman. On that time many other countries that try to make similar products, but they were not able to compete with any Piaggio. Among the competitors was Lambretta, Heinkel, Zundapp, and NSU. For the people of Indonesia, Lambretta and Zundapp products, popular time-1960 era have inquired an.quizzed, fanaticism against the Vespa had emerged from the basic features of this motor is always on hold next to each product. Even when they are somewhat doing''revolution''in the form of new products, Vespa 150 GS, specificity still feels sexy ass a stable. products GS 150 - at that time known as Vespa more and almost always appear in every film in the 1960s - indeed steering wheel and headlights start made together. However, much less form a whole butt, really still rounded. And the story continues today with a new generation of Vespa models, offering Vespa ET2, ET4 Vespa, and Vespa Granturismo Vespa PX150. Vespa Scooter is not merely one of the Icon, but most people in Indonesia Italia. Motorcycles earlier times Vespa "Vespa Fever" in the ground water is influenced by the "Vespa Congo". Vespa given as awards by the Government of Indonesia to the Indonesian Peacekeeping Force who served in the Congo when.accordingseveral sources, after many Vespa Congo on the streets, the Vespa began to become one of the options motorcycles in Indonesia. Local importers contribute to the development of the land air. Vespa are now dozens who stopped by the Vespa variants in Indonesia. From the oldest to the most recent was in Indonesia. Until now, Indonesia may still be called a paradise Vespa. Vespa rise of exports, to some extent reduce the population in Indonesia Vespa
