  • MotoGP Engine configurations is a very interesting subject! Why do some manufacturers go for a Big bang fire pattern? Why would you ever want to have an Inline 4 engine in a MotoGP bike? Aren't V4s superior?
    #MotoGP #Techtalk
    0:00 Introduction
    0:04 Yamaha YZR-M1 Inline 4, Crossplane crank, Irregular fire pattern
    0:10 Honda RC213V V4, 180 Crank Big bang fire pattern
    0:27 MotoGP Engines Scream loud?
    0:49 Spark plug Exhaust Intake
    0:53 4-Stroke Piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft
    0:58 Intake Piston pulls an air-fuel mixture into the cylinder
    1:05 Compression Piston compresses the air-fuel mixture
    1:10 Combustion Spark plug ignites the cluel mixture
    1:41 Inline 4, 180 crank Traditional Screamer' fire pattern
    2:18 Masao Furusawa Yamaha Engineer
    2:49 Crankshaft does not rotate at a constant rate Creates something called: inertia torque
    3:26 Inline 4, Crossplane crank Irregular fire pattern
    5:31 CROSSPLANE IRREGULAR FIRE
    5:42 V4.90 deg, 360 Crank 'Twin pulse' Fire pattern Ducati GP7-9 (2007-2009 MotoGP bike) Also Ducati Panigale street bike
    6:07 V4.90 deg, 180 Crank 'Big bang' Fire pattern Likely what Honda, KTM, Ducati & Aprilia runs

    must have been so much amazing engineering that went into my 1st bike, an '86 VFR750 (v4 180-degree gear-driven cams)... and yet all i cared about was how it sounded when the seller fired it up.

    I am just blown away by your knowledge and thorough explanation of the concepts. The entire concept of the power pulses to the back tire are fascinating. I really like the flat plane cranks for the smooth delivery of the power and this would explain why Rossi and Mir are so good at conserving their tires (I4XP) - and also why Dovi keeps burning up his (V4). Excellent video!

    The 990cc era was one of the best era's for MotoGp engines, where the engines had 5 cilinders instead of 4 cylinders. Watched a few races in person in 2005/2006.The most brutal and extraterrestrial sounds. I frequently visit MotoGp races now, but it's not the same anymore. That experience can't be replicated. Anyone who ever witnessed a 990cc GP knows what I'm talking about. You can also hear the difference on video but in real time, you feel it in your veins.

    A 65 degree V4 is shorter in length compared to 90 degree V4. So, it can have more horsepower than a inline 4 and better corner speed compared to a 90 degree V4. RSV4 series are the best sounding production motorcyles also.

    • @rossbrumby1957
      @rossbrumby1957 3 роки тому

      Different V angles suit different rev ranges, other than that only the usual engine specs determine power: bore/stroke, head shape, valves/porting, camshaft, carb/injection setup. And how many balance shafts your given engine needs to drive. This is why engine displacement is the biggest factor in drag racing, not crank type or number of valves etc.

    • @joshuarenacia694
      @joshuarenacia694 2 роки тому

      Inline 4 revs the highest because it is the most balanced 4 cylinder engine configuration with it's superior primary engine balancing quality. Without the use of a balancing shaft, an inline 4 can run at high crankshaft speeds despite having mediocre secondary engine balancing.

    • @joshuarenacia694

      That is why inline 4s are loved by people because when they hear it, they think of it as powerful, high revving engines - and that created the stereotype.
