Is a 1984 Cr80r dirt bike two or four stroke?
Asked by Wiki User
2 strokes have powerband (response) because it only takes 2 strokes to get your power intake and compression are the first stroke the second stroke is ignition and exhaust this is all done in only two strokes. 4 strokes dont have as much powerband (response) because they do four stokes stroke 1. intake 2. compression 3.ignition 4. exhaust 1 stroke for each individual step. so 2 stokes take have the time to get the power as a 4 stroke. 2 strokes are great for racing but need to be wound out because they will load up and will run bad.. 4 strokes are better for the trails because they dont need to be wound out. 2 strokes have a lot of revs so things will loosen up a lot more than a 4 stroke so after you ride tighten up loose parts because they will fall off when your riding it happened to me.
What company made the first modern dirt bike and what year did it come out?
Asked by Wiki User
The first motorcycles were produced by companies like Indian, Harley, BSA, and Norton. And since in the early 20th century there were a lot more dirt roads than there were paved roads, these motorcycles were designed to be riden on the dirt as well as the paved roads. Making Matchless the first company to produce a dirt bike in 1899.
As a modern dirt bike goes, it seems that the earliest reverence I can find is a 1924 Velocette. It was used in the first motocross event known as a "Scramble" in Camberley, Surrey in southern England. There were probably other bikes used in this race, but you might be able to find more information with this race. But by the 1930s BSA, Norton, Rudge, Matchless, and AJS all made bikes to be used in the Scramble, so any of these bikes could be the first dirt bike, I just couldn't find any mention of them in the first Scramble. However as far as motorcycles used offroad, the 1914 Triumph Model A was used by the British Army as an offroad vehicle during WWI
Most of the first motorcycles made were basically bicycles with an internal combustion engine strapped on somehow. These bikes were constructed just as "roads" were beginning to appear, so they were built to ride off road as well. Therefore, even the first motorcycles could be referred to as "dirt bikes". So dirt bikes (and street bikes) have been around since the dawn of motorycling, just at the time they were simply considered regular motorcycles.
So no one person invented the dirt bike. People began to modify their bikes to ride in the dirt, starting with knobby tires and better suspensions, changing gearing/sprockets, frames, doing everything possible to lighten and strengthen them, getting rid of parts not needed in dirt riding (lites, horn, etc.).
One of the first motorcycles designed specifically for offroad use was by Sigfried Bettmann of Coventry, England. The company name was Triumph Motorcycles and the year was 1914.

Tips to understanding your vehicles serial (VIN) number They are as follows:
* 1st character- Identifies the country in which the vehicle was manufactured. For example: U.S.A.(1or4), Canada(2), Mexico(3), Japan(J), Korea(K), England(S), Germany(W), Italy(Z) * 2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Audi(A), BMW(B), Buick(4), Cadillac(6), Chevrolet(1), Chrysler(C), Dodge(B), Ford(F), GM Canada(7), General Motors(G), Honda(H), Jaguar(A), Lincoln(L), Mercedes Benz(D), Mercury(M), Nissan(N), Oldsmobile(3), Pontiac(2or5), Plymouth(P), Saturn(8), Toyota(T), VW(V), Volvo(V). * 3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division. * 4th to 8th characters- Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc. * 9th character- Identifies VIN accuracy as check digit. * 10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T),1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y), 2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3), 2004(4), 2005(5), 2006(6), 2007(7), 2008(8), 2009(9) * 11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle. * 12th to 17th characters- Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled of the manufacturers assembly line.

Can kids have a dirt bike?
Asked by Wiki User
1. They don't have a licence to do so. Many places around the world including U.S.A do not allow kids 11-16 to be riding bikes unless they are doing so in an closed track eviorment or competting in a competition. Kids that are between theses ages should not be riding bikes on the road unless there is some sort of prof that they have enough experience. In some case this may still not be enough because kids 11-16 just like to have fun, they are not using the bike to get places just to impress friends and play in traffic.
In conclusion my answer is no
What is the fastest production dirt bike ever made?
Asked by Wiki User
The 2008 Husqvarna TC 450. Below is an excerpt from a motorcycle-usa.com article testing the bike. “A few months ago a European publication claimed that Husky’s TC 450 has six more horsepower than any other 450 in the field. When I read that article my mind was full of doubts… Until now. This bike is hands down the fastest stock 450 I have ever ridden, and I have thrown my leg over heaps of motorcycles. It feels like a bored-out 450 that has a secret turbo charger under the tank.”

What do you use to take a chain link off your bike?
Asked by Wiki User
Depends on how they're mounted. Usually it's one bracket on the seat tube, one under the bottom bracket and one on the right seatstay. The seatstay is usually a wraparound clamp. Loosen the screw, pry it open, and off it comes. The one at the bottom of the bottom bracket shell is usually screwed in both the shell and the chain guard. The one at the seat tube might be welded to the frame, but screwed to the chain case.
How do you calculate the gear ratio on a bike?
Asked by Wiki User
Divide the number of teeth on the pedal gear by the number of teeth on the wheel gear. If you have multiple gears to choose from, you then have multiple ratios.
If you are talking about a motorcycle, the same principle applies, but now you have more than one set of gears: the crank to countershaft primary set, the selected gear set, and the mainshaft to wheel set (if chain), or the two sets (mainshaft to shaftdrive and shaftdrive to wheel, if shaft drive). You need to multiply the ratios that are in series at any one moment of time to get the overall gear ratio from crank to wheel.
What is the conflict in the mouse and the motorcycle?
Asked by Wiki User
Ralph S. Mouse lives at the Mountain View Inn, and what he wants is to eat the boy's crumbs (perfectly believable motivation for a mouse) until he sees Keith playing with a toy motorcycle. Ralph wants to ride that motorcycle and was there ever a child anywhere who didn't hope that cute, talking mouse would come to them and want to play with their toys? Keith is lonely and so is Ralph. They each need a friend and they both love motorcycles. The fact that they are of different species does not present a problem.
Neither the mouse nor the boy was the least bit surprised that each could understand the other. Two creatures who shared a love for motorcycles naturally spoke the same language.
'if you were the CEO of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles what would you do?
Asked by Wiki User
The first thing I would do is cut production immediately by at least 30% worldwide. The second thing I would do is make sure the dealers remain profitable so that they can withstand this economic downturn.I would increase dealer margins and go to work right away to secure retail financing at competitive rates for the next 3-4 years until this economy stabilizes. Thirdly I would do away with Buell motorcycle company and put MV Augusta back on the market and pray for a buyer.I would also make drastic staff cuts in the sales and marketing areas due to their ineffectiveness. These steps would just be a good start to get the company back to where it needs to be..
