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 Anti Brake-Locking System As the name implies, it prevents brake locks - the heart-stopping panicking moments of wheel locking up if we apply brake too suddenly. Brakes? Kinda are more important than the engine themselves. This can cause awesome skids which could be attractive if you are a stunt rider and are stunnting. Whereas, if you are trying to stop because you are riding head-on onto oncoming traffic; I have no clue why you would be; but that wouldn't spell good for you, so stopping the biking when you want it to stop is critical for riding. 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...

What is Compression Ratio...? and how is it related to High Octane Gas...?

By
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  ...

What is the Real Maintenance Cost of a KTM and Can You Own One Right Now?

By
D o you know what is most painful experiences that a bike lover can have? Imagining your bike lying in the parking because it needs repair work being done. If you are a college going youngster, you would probably curse your parents for not giving you enough pocket money; which is very natural -probably I did as well, back then. But if you are employed waiting for the next paycheck. The auspicious date will come by and pass, but some new expenses will always creep up. Making the bike lie in repair state even longer! This is it. Walking Past This Everyday without Repairing it. That is the Worst Thing Ever! There are a lot of people who confuse Cost of Purchase (CoP) vs Cost of Ownership (CoO) of a Bike.  There are a lot of wise wisdom filled quotes that ask you not to bite more than what you can chew. It applies very well to the principle of CoP vs CoO . Being able to afford the bike, its initial payment, the document, and all the rest simply me...
