How Motorcycle's gear Transmissions Work

By: Prayag nao

Most all current motorcycles shift with a lever operated by your left foot. With the transmission in neutral, gears are selected by pressing down for first and then letting the lever return to the center position. Then, hooking your toe under the lever, pulling up for second gear. Third and all subsequent gears are selected by pulling up on the lever after allowing it to return to the center position. Sounds complicated but it is quite easy to do.

Motorcycle transmissions are made up of gears in constant mesh. Because of this, there are no syncros to speed up the gears. You don't need any. The gears are already spinning. To change between gears you need some kind of gear shifter mechanism to go along with that gear shift lever.

Gear shifters come in three different types.

Drum Shifters
Cam Plate and Shift Quadrant Shifter
Ball Lock Shifter

Now that you understand what's happening inside the transmission take another look at that first animation. Notice the 'pegs' on that gray gear? Those are called "dogs" for reasons not transmitted (ha, see what I did there?) the 'dogs' as shown in the picture (left) are a part of the driven gear just as shown in the animation. The holes are in the slider shown in the picture (right). When that slider is moved by the shift fork the holes slide over the dogs and the output shaft begins spinning.

If you're shifting properly, matching engine/transmission speeds and shift quickly those dogs can slip right into the slots no muss no fuss. If, however, you are a little lazy with a shift and take too long or don't put much pressure on the shift lever those dogs will just skitter over the top of the slots causing what many riders misinterpret as grinding 'gears'.

HOW INTERNAL EXPANDING BRAKE WORKS

By:Prayag nao An internal expanding brake consists of two shoes S 1 and S 2 . The outer surface of the shoes are lined with some friction material (usually with Ferodo) to increase the coefficient of friction and to prevent wearing away of the metal. Each shoe is pivoted at one end about a fixed fulcrum O 1 and O 2 and made to contact a cam at the other end. When the cam rotates, the shoes are pushed outwards against the rim of the drum. The friction between the shoes and the drum produces the braking torque and hence reduces the speed of the drum. The shoes are normally held in off position by a spring . The drum encloses the entire mechanism to keep out dust and moisture. This type of brake is commonly used in motor cars and light trucks. We shall now consider the forces acting on such a brake, when the drum rotates in the anticlockwise direction . It may be noted that for the anticlockwise direction, the left hand shoe is known as leading or primary shoe
