There is a lot of misunderstandings of what ABS is and what it does and more importantly, what it doesn't do. Let us discuss it with a listing of what I think are 3 facts and myths surrounding ABS and why it could save your life someday .

ABS is any system that prevents the wheel lock, by releasing the pressure on the brake disc, if it senses a wheel lock. This is done using motion sensors, which in turn...
The internet has a lot of information regarding what Compresssion Ratio means for engines. But there are very few articles that mean much to motorcycle engines and about how the CR influences the characteristic of a motorcycle. In theoretical terms, the compression ratio is the ratio of volume between the top-dead-center and bottom-dead-center.. Here are the CR for some common Indian Motorcycles: Model Wet Weight in KG Compresion Ratio KTM D390 163 12.8:1 R15 136 10.4:1 CBR 250 164 10.7:1 RE Classic 350 187 8.5:1 Avenger Cruise 155 9.5:1 What this number actually signifies is how much the air-fuel mixture gets compressed to before being ignited . That is, how much pressure would the combustion produce inside the engine. To Simplify: More the CR, more the internal combustion pressure More the CR, more the heat produced during combustion ...
