    Your motorbike is a combination of aluminum, steel and cast iron. If you're lucky, maybe titanium, magnesium and carbon too. But which material is which? And why?

Also producing multiple sizes of engine becomes expensive quick, so no one is making the kit because its not profitable. I say the best thing to if you want to build a bike is to build a "cafe racer" or "scrambler" type of thing from an old carbed motorcycle. Stripped down basic mechanics, minimal electronics. You can make a dirt bike, scrambler, cafe, even faired bike if you want to mess around with fiberglass. Take everything apart, remove everything thats not essential and build it back together.

      @@experienceforge The thing is there's a lot of precision involved in a motorcycle. It's dubious enough with a car, and there have been "kits" for those that didn't require a bunch of knowledge and/or learning along the way...
      BUT with motorcycles, because they utilize the gyroscopic effect and depend so much on alignments and balance and so forth, even at the factories, there's a fair amount of micro-adjustments that have to be made to fit each component to the greater system...
      You're going to have to start relatively simple on something relatively forgiving, like an older and smaller cc carb'ed bike or two, and work together the cafe racer or scrambler from what you can find in scrap yards, garage and barn finds and then of course, shops. As you learn more about the inner tinkerings, you can get more advanced.
      There just isn't profit in something as dubiously complicated AND precise as a motorcycle when you consider the variations a public market is going to demand. The least bit out of alignment between engine and wheels and you have a bike severely "right handed" or "left handed" making it tricky and dangerous because leaning one direction pivots you right around at speed, and the other way barely does anything...
      Many of us started on mini-bikes with a welded steel frame and a Briggs and Stratton or Tecumpseh 5 HP engine mounted on them... and then got out welders and angle grinders and went about "customizing" them, which was as frequently PHENOMENAL as it was "A TERRIFYING MISTAKE"... BUT you live and you learn (hopefully)... ;o)

    As having been a materials/metallurgical engineer, LOVED this. Some 30 years ago had similar discussions with friends that raced bicycles. Aluminum matrix (once a thing) & carbon frames very brittle & even caused more injury to riders than just road rash. And these materials were not repairable--so if you can't afford new frames if you crash, steel often a better option. Similar for motor bikes--steel easier to repair or modify anywhere. But options are great that filter down from racing--where weight and performance are super critical--down to bragging rights for regular folk...

    @elektro3000 Год назад +2

    Automotive metallurgist here, and maybe 90% of my work is in gasoline engines and fasteners, so this is very relevant to my interests! A few updates in automotive metallurgy: You quote the yield strength of steel fasteners at 800 MPa, but for an exposed fastener, we can now safely use a metric property class 12.9U (austempered/bainitic) with a dip-spin or spray applied zinc flake anticorrosion coating (such as Magni 565) with a yield strength of approximately 1100 MPa. Yield strengths much higher than that are possible with steel fasteners (such as PC15.9U around 1350 MPa) but those are for use inside sealed powertrain components like engines and transmissions where we don't have to worry about hydrogen embrittlement from road salt and acid rain. Second big update: After decades of trying to perfect Nikasil spray coatings and Alusil aluminum castings with silicon matrix bearing surfaces, the automotive industry has all started moving to a new engine block technology that finally outperforms iron blocks and iron liners: Ultra-thin steel liners sprayed in molten form onto the bores of aluminum blocks. Turns out, it actually reduces galling, abrasive wear, and friction losses over iron bores while increasing cooling rate, reducing hot spots, and allowing higher compression/boost without detonation. I expect we'll see this all over the motorcycle industry within 5 years.

    I've always thought of my bikes as a collection of parts that creates the whole. Having done a fair bit of wrenching and rebuilding of bikes myself, this video made me realize that I rarely question the materials that parts are made from. My main focus is usually the 3 'F's, form, fit & function. Unlike the adage about how sausage is made, I DO care and want to know what goes into creating my motorcycles. Thanks, Ryan & team for another fantastic episode of NOVA on motorcycles!

      when you get your first, it's not like riding a bike (bicycle) [well] get a small dirt bike, it is[n't], the same. A bicycle you push the left handle forward to turn right (think about it). A dirt bike, you push the left handle forward to turn right, but at higher speeds. A street bike, you push the left handle foreword to turn left (and the heavier the bike fells in a corner, the more gas you give it, or battle the weight) A street bike, you don't pull the handle. You'll kill yourself.

    Aerospace/mech eng student speaking here: your ability to meaningfully communicate tough concepts is so admirable and refreshing.
    The writing is exquisite as always. The story telling is so efficient -using hammer sounds synced with the bending of the forged rod absolutely communicated how forging/toughening is accomplished without ever having to verbally describe the process.
    As someone who's equally passionate about engineering design and visual storytelling, I have such appreciation for your thoughtfully constructed, fantastically educational work. Nevermind the Halloween visual motif and the syncronized late release time.
    Koodos to all involved.
    It's a joy to learn something new, and even more so to feel things that have previously been confusing or obtuse come into clarity. You routinely tie information to application; in other words, you communicate both new knowledge and how it's used. and that makes those new facts feel like you're sharing them with me. Like offering a fishing pole with a fishing lesson. It's like offering me an opportunity to see the world for myself, and make it my own.
    As a life long fan of education and writing, and as relatively new fan of motorcycles: thank you for your years of work.

You dig so deep into essential and fundamental knowledge that is making your videos both educational, dynamic and actually important. Amazing, really, respect

  • @AZREDFERN
    @AZREDFERN Год назад +4

    I learned the hard way to NEVER use stainless steel on exhaust headers, or any hot component. At high temperatures, the chromium can slowly defuse in to the nearby mild steel and essentially solder itself in to place. Requiring everything to be drilled out and helicoiled. Stainless fasteners also don’t like impact guns. While building a rear rack, 2 sets ended up seizing half way through the threads.

    • @corentinnaisse5350
      @corentinnaisse5350 Год назад +1

      It's not just heat that fuses stainless fasteners to stainless parts but also shocks/vibrations through galling (cold welding). The rule in mechanical assembly is to use dissimilar metals (it can both be stainless steel but then you need an austenitic and a martensitic one). Using helicoil is a good practice and not just for repair. In the space industry, we use stainless helicoils on aluminum parts which are then bolted with titanium bolts covered in MoS2 (it helps against galvanic corrosion by decreasing the potential difference between titanium and aluminium). For stainless steel parts that need stainless steel bolts, we use silicon bronze helicoils. Impact guns are a big no no and more like a last ditch effort for loosening a heavily rusted bolt.

    • @Ritalie
      @Ritalie Год назад

      You can spray everything with copper spray. I am pretty sure that's the way to fix the problem. They also sell copper paste that you coat the entire bolt. Or if it's a low strength application, just coat the entire bolt in teflon pipe compound rated for 500F and oil and gas resistant. They also make high temperature thread lockers. Thread locker forms an insulating barrier of plastic between parts, preventing corrosion.
