How does a motorcycle engine get out of the frame?
For some very heavy engines, our technician will place a scissor jack beside the frame so he can transfer the engine to the jack and then lower it to his lift as needed. Many modern engines use thrust adjuster mounts. These allow the mounts to be retracted or removed for extra room to get the engine in and out of the frame.
What’s the best way to build a motorcycle frame?
Also, you should tack weld pieces together and then weld the components up on either side evenly (similar to how you’d tighten all bolts evenly on an engine cover). “You weld a little here, a little there, and a little there, otherwise the frame is going to start to pull one way or another,” Palhegyi says. Sure, things can go askew.
What makes a motor frame get more horsepower?
RERATING AND TEMPERATURES The ability to rerate motor frames to get more horsepower in a frame has been brought about mainly by improvements made in insulating materials. As a result of this improved insulation, motors can be run much hotter. This allows more horsepower in a compact frame.
Can a motor have three different frame sizes?
In these motors, specific frame assignments have not been made by horsepower and speed, so it is possible that a particular horsepower and speed combination might be found in three different frame sizes. In this case, for replacement it is essential that the frame size be known as well as the horsepower, speed and enclosure.

Are there any tricks you can do on a motorcycle?
Listen closely, Grasshopper… Here are 10 handy little motorcycle riding tricks that will make you smoother, safer and, in some cases, faster. They’ll work on any bike, any time, whether you’re cruising, tearing up a mountain road or heading out around the world.
Can a motorcycle frame be used for racing?
The next stage entailed fitting the tubes connecting the finished rear sub-frame to the head stock. A frame is pretty useless for racing unless the headstock axis is accurately aligned at right angles to the pivot in the plates for the swingarm. As I have already mentioned, welding always causes distortion.
Where do you find electric motor frame number?
Many have been in the situation where you needed a specific frame only to realize it was made with a special shaft or has a mounting flange, but no one knew how to find this information! There is a letter suffix after the frame number that has been standardized by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer Association) regulations.
