Wonderful content always happy to see anything new you make the cbr f2 had no ram air and the f3 did but it was so complicated people couldn't put it back together when they re assemble fairings
The main benefits is cooler more efficient air intake, comparing it to turbo charging isn't realistic 😑, world's better than none ram air sucking up hot air from the engine area
Finally, someone telling the truth! Hayabusa GEN-1 makes almost negative pressure after some high speed as the air goes straight from the headlight to the side of the bike. How can all Bikes breath the oil pan inside the air-box if at any moment we had positive pressure on it?? All sealing would fly away..
sure can, but you'll also have to calibrate the jet for that high rpm range, otherwise you'll be running too lean and burn the gaskets. (an ECU tune if it's a F4i )
Does it make sense for competitive motorcycle racers too? Or just people who want to go ‘stupidly fast’? How slow is cleverly slow? Also, the speed figures you quote from Sport Rider magazine are based and the ZX9R’s (inaccurate) speedometer, not actual road speed.
Yes it does. Not only the ramming of air, just having cool air that has not passed by the warm engine helps. Then the ram air effect: if you look at the formula for kinetic energy, rho p ( density) is a factor, but speed is quadratic. So while racing at high speeds it generated more power.
Ram air intake does work in the dyno, it depends of how air the blower inside the dyno booth blows into the air intake of the motorcycle. The more it blows more effect the ram air intake system will get. Generally the blowers are adjusted to mimic the real world condition but there is always going to a difference between the real world power and power measured in the dyno booth.
Even while still you can simulate wind speed by either wind tunnel or fans, using wind simulation is especially important while tuning air-cooled engines otherwise they could seize
Answer to that question is simple. You see, most of the motorcycle that have the ram-air intake are the high performance superbikes. And what's the purposes of a superbike? To deliver maximum performance in possible in every possible scenario. To squeeze out every last ounce of performance, manufactures have to do all sorts of things. And the ram-air intake is one such simple but effective thing.
@@RevvingHeart I know but it's just an intake duct that goes from the nose directly to the airbox. No idea why it's such a big deal. Do other companies design their bikes to block the ram packing because their engine designs would blow up if the intake system got "boosted" such as only high-performance engines contain this this and this kind of design that drive up the cost can have ram-air?
actually it does. with slightly greater effect on carbureted engines. still depends on the set up if your motorcycle can still gush in air and fuel while pushing out more and more exhaust.
Everyone is forgetting the best part about the ram air on big kawasaki bikes: The sound. That turbo like sound when you wind it up alone is worth it 😂
Turbo is the worst thing in engine's sound. Compare F1 v10 angines and todays v6 turbocharged...
@@CptSlow89 thats like comparing dogs to wolves
@@CptSlow89😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂whatttt the f even man?😂😂 It's more about the v10 and v8 changed to v6 rather than the addition of turbo. Wow
It's a clever design, with the correct measurements and shaped intake you could easily add a fair bit of power to any bike engine

Thanks for the support, really appreciate it.

What can I write? This is one of the best channels in this area . Great job as always.👍👍

시간되실때 렘에어시스템에대해서도 영상올려주시면 좋을거같습니다~!
I think it will be very amazing on small propeller planes.
You missed most important point. It looks cool 😂
Sound I bearly travel under 290 anyway
And here i am wondering if i can create a small ram air kit for my cbr600f could i get a few gains? Regular 130mph traveller so...
sure can, but you'll also have to calibrate the jet for that high rpm range, otherwise you'll be running too lean and burn the gaskets. (an ECU tune if it's a F4i )
Great video man thanks keep it up. Keep posting such good videos
Thank for watching, hope find it informative.

So ram air intake doesn't work on a dyno as the motorcycle is still. So how are power figures measured??

Nice and clear, many thanx!
That cleared everything.. i was wondering as to how the zx10r makes 10 bhp more with the ram air thingy..
I mean, what is the other option than "ram-air" really? The air comes from the front of the bike directly into the intake box.
Then the manufactures will have to make some major compromises on the design.
@@RevvingHeart Why compromise something so simple as having a ram-air system?
Answer to that question is simple. You see, most of the motorcycle that have the ram-air intake are the high performance superbikes. And what's the purposes of a superbike?

my 1990 cbr 600 has this lol
but how about dirt and water, both can sucked directly through combution chamber?
That is technically possible, but the air-filter will prevent the dirt and water droplets from entering into the combustion chamber.
In my country, the bike just 150 cc, so just riding at 80-130 km/h, does it affect motor performance ? (please answer for my research)
actually it does. with slightly greater effect on carbureted engines. still depends on the set up if your motorcycle can still gush in air and fuel while pushing out more and more exhaust.
you need to re set the bike air fuel mixture as cold air burn more fuel you need to make it richer, if you do not re set it will be the same
What about small displacement bike
It always helps, but less than a large displacement
Bad exemple with a turbo charged engine
Very good information.
What happens when it rains? Water kill engine??
Depends on the design, it's constructed in such a way water will not be able to make it to/through the filters
THUMBS UP FOR 🙏More cruiser videos
Such a heavy Indian accent
Why is he talking like that
