A beginner's guide to Motorcycle Parts

By: Karen Nodalo



Once you hop in a motorcycle and realize that you have deep
interest in riding it, I’m definitely sure you’ll have lots of
questions in your mind. You’ll probably ask the basic questions
on how to start and drive it with the use of gears. These are
common questions of beginners who are willing to indulge on the
road to driving motorcycles. Knowing the parts of your
motorcycles and how they work together to keep your motorcycles
running can be quite interesting too.

In order for you to learn riding and start riding, you must
first learn the basics of the motorcycle parts and how they
function. If you get to know the parts very well, you can now
begin your curiosity in riding your first bike. There are many
different parts of the motorcycle. These parts are considered
general because all motorcycles regardless of the brands contain
the same parts. I’ll be giving you a short discussion on the
important parts. The clutch is a lever which is found in the
left-hand grip of your motorcycle. You operate it with the use
of your fingers. It is responsible for releasing mechanism and
operates for shifting gears more easily. Motorcycles have
cylinders but they differ in the number of cylinders.
Motorcycles contain between the ranges of one to six cylinders.
Most of the cylinders are liquid-cooled to prevent steaming of
over-heating for extreme usage. You have the brake which is very
important because it slows down the speed of the motorcycles to
prevent it from bumping. There are two kinds of brakes. The
first is the front brake which is located at the right hand of
the motorcycle. It is responsible for stopping the front wheels
of your motorcycle. The second is the rear brake which operates
to stop the back wheels of the motorcycles. It is operated with
the use of our foot. Thought hey both work differently, they
work together to prevent serious accidents. The suspension works
to keep you comfortable in riding. It provides you with a stable
and smooth ride on rough edges and areas. The gas tank is where
you place gas which is where your motorcycle is being fed with
gasoline. The gear shift which is foot-operated is responsible
for shifting gears. The spark plug operates as an igniter to
start the engines to cause the effect of combustion. The
ignition switch is where you start the motorcycle with your
keys. Once it is already witched on, the motorcycle is now ready
to be operated. The handlebar is where you place your right and
left arms for steering and pivoting. He throttle is found in the
right grip of your hand. The throttle increases the speed of the
motorcycle. It is being operated by twisting it with your hand.
The side mirrors are of great help to the motorcycle rider. It
allows them to look behind even in a very fast lane without
looking backwards. In order to view your behind very well, these
side mirrors should be at the right angle and should always be
clear. The hors serves as a warning especially on a busy street
where people and vehicles are rushing through. Now that you are
introduced with the parts, you can now start your first
motorcycle ride and enjoy safe riding! For comments and
