Lessons You Can Learn From Owning an Exotic Motorcycle

You want to get an exotic motorcycle, not the usual Japanese sportbike. Here are some things to consider that could become hard lessons learned.

Dealership

The Does the dealership perform warranty work on this exotic?

              

You go to a local dealership to look over the exotic bikes in stock and there it is just the right bike for you, so you think. You see the MSRP is within your budget and you ask for a test ride, fine, but only around the dealership’s lot. You came prepared to take the test ride on the street and wore your Men Motorcycle Leather Jacket and Men Leather Motorcycle Pants with full armor.

The salesman starts it up for you and the engine runs really smooth, you don your helmet, ask the gear configuration. You hop on and take a couple of laps around the lot, the bike handles well, you are satisfied. You start negotiating the price, the salesman usually takes your offers to his sales manager three or four times.

Finally, the salesman returns with an acceptance of your offer. Not exactly what you wanted but it is close enough to what you were looking for, you accept. You get hustled to the finance officer’s office and he starts going over the details of the purchase contract. He wants you to purchase an extended warranty for an extra year over the manufacturers already two-year warranty.

You decline the extended warranty, telling the finance officer the manufacturer's two-year warranty will do. The FO says fine, you sign the paperwork, hand them your down payment, sign the remaining paperwork, the bike is now yours. The salesman hands you the keys and you take your new exotic ride home.

What Can Possibly Go Wrong?

Does the dealership still sell this exotic bike?

                  

You have been enjoying your new exotic ride for a couple of months now and there are some issues developing. On long rides, the bike is faltering, not running smoothly and sometimes even shuts down. You haven’t ridden the bike that hard so you suspect factory flaws are beginning to arise. You call the dealership’s service department, explain the problem, ask when you can schedule a warranty diagnostic and service to solve the problem.

The service department manager tells you the dealership does not do warranty work on the make of the bike you bought from them. On top of that, he says the dealership no longer sells that make of exotic motorcycle. As we all know dealerships can be in business one day and be gone the next.

First lesson: You may not have done enough research to find out the relationship between the manufacturer and the dealership.

Do your homework when choosing a dealership.

Second Lesson: You did not inquire with the dealership if they actually did warranty work should the need arise.

Investigate whether or not the dealership is in solid with the manufacturer they represent and that they perform warranty work.

Fuel Management – More Horsepower

You want more horsepower out of your motorcycle, there are some ways to accomplish this.

Up the CCs

You can increase the size of the engine by boring the engine to increase the engine cubic centimeter/inch displacement. Boring is done by machining the cylinder walls to make the cylinder larger. Over boring will weaken the cylinder wall and cause the engine to fail in time.

The other method is to get a stroker kit and increase the piston stroke to give the cylinder more volume. This requires a new crankshaft, new piston rods that move the crankshaft farther from the axis center of rotation. This method affects the engine's ability to rev correctly.

Both the above methods are time consuming and expensive, especially if you are not an experienced mechanic. You will pay someone else to do the work. Additionally, you won’t look overdressed while riding your motorcycle wearing Men Textile Motorcycle Pants or Men Motorcycle Leather Racing Pants.

Increase Air and Fuel Capacity

To increase the horsepower of your motorcycle, you can increase the amount of air going into the engine.

Supercharger

Taking outside air a supercharger compresses the air and forces it into the engine through the intake valve. This increases the rate of combustion inside the engine at each power stroke.

The supercharger must be attached to a rotating part of the engine either by using a belt or chain. While performing its job, the supercharger uses as little energy as possible.

Turbocharger                                                    

A turbocharger is a turbine-driven system that increases the air density and pushes it into the engine. Similar to a supercharger, the turbocharger performs the same task, but there is a difference.

The turbocharger's turbine is powered by the motorcycle's exhaust and is more efficient than superchargers, often lighter, and smaller. As a result, you will experience an increase in the power and speed of your motorcycle. You can increase your drawing power by being seen in the Leather Motorcycle Vests.

What Else Can I Do?

That is a good question, here is what you need to know. There are two ways to go, with fuel-injected machines you use fuel management systems. With carbureted bikes, the carburetor needs to be modified by doing that yourself or by using a carb kit.

To increase horsepower, you have to control the fuel-air ratio, get the ideal mix for max efficiency. The best air-fuel ratio ranges 12.8:1 to 13.5:1 for the best production of power by a motorcycle four-stroke engine. But your best production improves when you are decked out in Textile Men Motorcycle Jackets as well.

Manage the Fuel 

 

Your motorcycle is programmed from the manufacturer to run at the prescribed air-fuel ratio to meet EPA standards. The ECU (Engine Control Unit), a computer that takes information from the different sensors on the bike to determine the air-fuel ratio to inject into the engine. This occurred through all phases of the throttling process.

The motorcycle is programmed to run leaner at low engine speeds such as idling which makes the bike run hotter. Here is one solution, an add-on system that re-tunes the ECU to trigger the desired air-fuel ratio for more desirable horsepower.

The device is attached to the bike and is spliced between the ECU and the injectors or coils. The device intercepts the signal from the ECU, tweaks them and sends the new message to the injectors. Which add-on device you want is based on what you are willing to pay for horsepower tweaking.

Talk about tweaking, you will be a hit while wearing All Season Motorcycle Jackets. 

Other Methods

 

You can swap put a bulky muffler for a smaller lighter, less restrictive one which can lighten up your load. You can change out the entire exhaust system from headers to tailpipe but, that will require tweaking to the ECU to prevent a malfunction.

Final Injection
