Lane Splitter is our first ECE- and DOT-compliant helmet designed for high-performance motorcycle riding. To meet both European and US safety standards, it had to be tough. To clear our own high bar for all-day comfort, it had to be light. Merging these opposing traits into one helmet took years of research, laboratory- and ride-testing to get right, but the finished product is the most stylish and protective helmet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever produced. Lane Splitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer shell features injection-molded ABS construction, a thermoplastic renowned for structural integrity, impact resistance and surface finishing. Inside youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the same high-performance safety materials and attention to hand-crafted details that make every Biltwell helmet a top choice among modern bikeriders. Parts Europe is proud to be an official distributor for Biltwell products. For more information, visit Biltwellinc.com, or speak to your sales representative today.

Motorheads and music maniacs from all over Europe gathered for the ultimate weekend of petroleum-powered madness the first weekend of August. On hand to introduce all these showgoers to their aftermarket brands were Parts Europe and Drag Specialties.

In addition to all the fuel-fired shenanigans, the event’s long-standing bike show showcased handcrafted beauties in 14 different classes. As usual, styles range from sedate to extreme for this collection of talented customizers. ■

Expect plenty of fire and smoke during the weekend’s festivities.

Off-Road Apparel Built to Last

Moose Racing’s 2018 M1 lineup is as stylish as it is functional. The semi-ventilated jerseys and pants were designed with hard riding in mind.

ake a look through the Parts Europe catalog, and you will see a huge assortment of parts and accessories from Moose Racing. Hard parts for off-road motorcycles were the first products available from the company when it got its start just over 30 years ago. During those three decades, though, Moose Racing has built a reputation as a producer of quality, durable off-road apparel that is built to last. Some of the latest apparel from Moose Racing is the M1 line of semi-ventilated jerseys and pants. Designed with hard riding in mind, the M1 pieces are ideal for motocross or trail racers. The M1 jersey is made of semi-ventilated polyester with a V-neck collar. The quick-drying fabric draws moisture away from the skin quickly to keep the rider dry and comfortable. Stretch mini-cuffs keep the sleeves in place without being restricting, and the sublimated graphics are available in seven color schemes that all have a matching pant. Sizing is from small to 3XL.

The knees are oversized for optimal range of motion, while full grain leather inner panels provide an extra layer of protection. Sizing ranges from 69cm to 104cm, and a three-point waist adjustment system provides a tailored fit. Moose Racing combines materials and styling to not only create durable, comfortable race wear, but to also produce apparel that stays on trend. Moose Racing’s designers have honed the fit of the company’s racing-centric chassis over the years, and these days, changes are focused on small adjustments for durability and style. The M1 gear reflects a more form-fitting, athletic fit that is preferred by younger riders. The integrated stretch panels are best utilized with this kind of fit, allowing each piece to move comfortably with a rider’s body despite the more tailored styling. Whatever the style trends may be, having race wear that lasts never goes out of style. Moose Racing designers opt for polyester and nylon materials that have a heavier gauge to better stand up to the flogging that riders put their gear through.

A Primer on Sunstar’s Chain Options

unstar is a large supplier of sprockets for OEM and aftermarket applications, and every sprocket needs a chain. The company strives to meet all market needs with its variety of chain designs, sizes and lengths. This chain primer helps sort it all out.

520SSR CHAIN

At Sunstar, MXR stands for Motocross Xtreme Racing, and the MXR1 chain follows that ideal. It is a premium quality, highly durable non-sealed chain designed for off-road bikes of up to 500cc. The MXR1 has TripleStar treated ultra-hard pins and heattreated components for durability, but the superlight chain weighs less than 1.3Kg in the 120-link length. The gold MXR1 comes in 108- to 120-link lengths with a cliptype connecting link, and it is also available in a 520 size for mini-bike applications.

Chain Choices

520MXR1 CHAIN

Similarly, the MXR is a gold clip-type chain, but it is best paired with mini off-road and street motorcycles that are 150cc and smaller. It is available in 420 and 428 sizes. The premier, racing-level offroad chain from Sunstar is the XTG, which has TripleGuard sealed rings, meaning there are three sealing lips and lubrication pools per side of the ring for added protection and lubrication. The XTG is ideal for off-road motorcycles and ATVs that are 750cc or smaller, and the gold chain comes in 100- and 120-link lengths with a press fit, clip-type link. Sunstar’s 520SSR (Standard Sealed Ring) O-ring chain is a heavy-duty option. It is constructed with heat-treated alloy steel for strength and durability, and the rubber Orings help reduce friction. As its name implies, the 520SSR is only available in a 520 size, and its 100- to 120-link lengths fit motorcycles of up to 400cc.

520XTG CHAIN

Another heavy-duty chain is the RDG, Sunstar’s street line of sealed chains in 520, 525 and 530 sizes. The DualGuard sealed ring utilizes two sealing lips and lubrication pools per side of the ring for better lubrication and less friction in high-heat conditions. The chain has a strong rivet-type connecting link. The RDG is a versatile option, and its application list includes most street models. The RTG1 is the premium-level roadracing chain, available in 520, 525 (suitable for offroad enduro racing) and 530 options. The TripleGuard sealed ring technology helps the chain endure high-heat, extreme riding conditions. The gold chain has a rivet-type connecting link.

525RDG CHAIN

The EXR1 rounds out the Sunstar chain family. It has a DualGuard sealed ring style that is thinner than the standard, offering lighter weight for Cross Country, enduro and motocross bikes. It has a press fit, clip-type connecting link and comes in gold. ■

LED LIGHTING

Bright Idea

Adaptive Lighting for Better Illumination J.W. Speaker has 18 different fitment kits for its Adaptive Series headlights so the high-tech LED light can be installed on more than 1,000 different models.

ICMA attendees who stop by the J.W. Speaker booth E20, in hall 22, during the show in November will get to see new products that push motorcycle lighting to a new level of technology and illumination. The company’s renowned lamps have fitment options for a wide variety of motorcycles, including many European models. The new series of bright white LED headlights from J.W. Speaker are smart lights for motorcycles. The J.W. Speaker Adaptive Series of LED headlights know when a rider is leaning or turning, and adjust the light to eliminate blind spots.

These dynamically adaptive lights fight poor visibility when cornering, providing a targeted LED beam just where a rider needs it to make them feel more comfortable. It all happens thanks to on-board sensors and advanced electronics that calculate lean angles on a real-time basis, automatically directing the lights to coordinate with the path of the motorcycle. The result is maximized visibility in areas that would be left dark with standard, immobile headlights. The Adaptive Series lights are ECE and DOT compliant, and the integrated optical system has both an adaptive low beam as well as J.W. Speaker’s proprietary ComfortLite high beam. The heavy-duty, die-cast aluminum housings have a sleek design that feature plug-and-play installation. The sizing options include an 18cm (7-inch)

The 18 different metric fitment kits available allow the Adaptive Series headlights to be installed on more than 1,000 models. J.W. Speaker realized that fitting LED headlights into some motorcycle buckets could be a challenge since the added length of the LED headlight might be too deep to fit. The fitment kits keep that from being an issue, allowing for easy installation that still maintains a seamless look. European models like BMW, Ducati, Moto Guzzi and Triumph are among the motorcycles that benefit from a fitment kit. Dealers can talk with their Parts Europe rep about the proper fitments for their customer’s bikes, and can also enter the year, make and model of a customer’s motorcycle at www.jwspeaker.com/fitment to find the right kit. J.W. Speaker will also have Model 8700 Evo 2 Dual Burn headlights on display at EICMA. The applications for the 18cm (7-inch) round headlights include a lot more than just motorcycles — off-road vehicles, mining vehicles and even buses can benefit from these high-performance LED lights. This new headlight features a Dual Burn™ high beam where all optics are illuminated, including the low beam optics, providing a brighter, long-distance punch of light down the road.

round fairing style as well as a 14.5cm (5¾-inch round) bucket mount.

The Model 8700 Evo 2 Dual Burn was designed as a direct replacement for 18cm (7-inch) lights, guaranteeing simple installation. The high-performance, high-output LEDs create a premium lighting solution that offers great visibility and durability, all while preserving energy efficiency. J.W. Speaker takes testing and on-road requirements seriously when designing and manufacturing street-legal lighting products. The die-cast aluminum housing is paired with a hard-coated polycarbonate lens for durability, while the high beam illuminates a larger portion of the road for improved visibility. ■

COMPANY PROFILE

Forging Ahead

Performance-Minded Pistons

Parts Europe distributes a number of Wössner off-road engine components, including complete piston kits, connecting rods and individual items such as wrist pins, main bearing kits and needle bearings.

s the owner and CEO of Wössner GmbH, Eckart Wössner believes that the success of the company comes from the success of its customers. That success can partially be measured in the number of professional race teams using Wössner’s high-performance pistons and connecting rods, but the success also includes recreational off-road riders who have total confidence in their engine components. Wössner himself was a motorcycle racer in the 1970s, and his company got its start as an importer of pistons from an American company. In the 1990s, the company evolved into its current incarnation as it began producing high-performance forged pistons in-house. A true family affair, Eckart Wössner still oversees the company, along with his wife Helga and son Tobias. Wössner continued to grow over the years, and there are now two U.S. locations. Wössner Italia and Wössner Asia have also joined the expanding Wössner Group. The Wössner-owned FGM Forging facility in Turin, Italy, allows complete piston forging control, and it is the main forging operation for the company. Today, Wössner is currently in the process of building a modern, larger facility at its world headquarters in Weil am Rhein, Germany. Currently, Wössner produces about 140,000 pistons every year at that location, and the new facility will allow the company to triple its current piston production. In addition to production, Wössner’s world headquarters are also the site of continued research and development

Currently, Parts Europe distributes a number of its off-road engine components, including complete piston kits, connecting rods and individual items such as piston ring sets, wrist pins, main bearing kits and needle bearings. Wössner high-performance forged premium two-stroke and four-stroke piston kits are designed and manufactured in-house on dedicated forges. The four-stroke pistons are produced using a double-bridged forging design. A number of top teams in Supercross, Arenacross and MXGP use the Wössner piston kits, adding to the company’s reputation for success. The pistons are lightweight and have extremely tight wall clearances, which results in reduced engine noise and better performance. Piston kits fit a range of models, with standard and oversized piston options available for most. Standard and high-compression ratios are also available for four-stroke applications. Each kit includes the necessary parts, including the piston, ring, wrist pin and pin locks. Check the Parts Europe catalog for the extensive list of applications. ■

New Exhausts for the Latest Models

FMF Racing works hard to make sure its Southern California headquarters is producing exhaust systems and slip-ons for all the new off-road machines.

hen those new model year dirtbikes and ATVs arrive at dealerships, FMF Racing is already prepared with multiple new fitments across its broad lineup of exhaust products.

For more than 40 years, FMF has worked tirelessly producing high-quality exhausts – both two-stroke and four-stroke – for bikes from a range of OEMs, and for multiple disciplines of riding. That long history has allowed the company, launched by Don Emler Sr., to develop strong relationships internationally, and in the USA, with the manufacturers. The company has also developed technical sponsorships for a long list of professional and amateur race teams. These close ties mean that FMF can react rapidly to the launch of new models, building out new fitments and new products for the latest machines, right when your customers are taking delivery of that new model or are upgrading a previously purchased bike. Take those 2018 model year bikes for instance. FMF is already on the gas in its USA headquarters, making sure it will have the products available and in the Parts Europe warehouse by the time customers start coming in to purchase the new enduro and motocross machines.

FMF’s four-stroke lineup has many applications and fitments, whether it’s a full system, slip-ons or a single slip-on, all carrying a commanding combination of performance and value. If a customer’s budget is a little tight, let them know it’s easy to build a system one component at a time by starting with a slip-on whether a 4.1RCT, Powercore 4 Hex or Q4 Hex and then adding their choice of header. (Honda 450 singles must use slip-on & header at the same time) FMF’s research, design and manufacturing capabilities allow the company to be ready to go to market with new products right when the demand is hot. Should an OEM state that exhaust fitment between two model years is the same, FMF will still perform a comprehensive “fit check” to ensure a user friendly and seamless install. Most importantly, the company makes a complete performance and sound testing evaluation on the exhausts and new bikes, even if fitment is the same.

A Trusted Source to Stop those Leaks

he importance of a tight, leak-free seal for any motorcycle’s shift shaft and output shaft can’t be over-emphasized. Yet too often these are two neglected areas, the result being oily, dirty engine cases and a lubrication system contaminated with dust, dirt and water.

Over time, and oftentimes it’s sooner rather than later, these seals can dry out and crack, thus needing replacement. Cometic Gasket’s shift shaft and output shaft seals, like all the seals and gaskets from Cometic, are built to meet or exceed OEM specifications. They’re exact-fit replacements to repair these common leaky areas.

No more. Cometic Gasket has expanded its range of street-bike offerings to include these two all-important seals. There is a wide assortment of applications and Parts Europe carries them all.

Cometic manufactures all its gaskets and seals, these two new additions included, from a comprehensive range of materials employing advanced technologies like the MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) in gaskets calling for that, or synthetic blends such as Aramid fiber when that’s appropriate.

Total Sealing

With Cometic’s new shift shaft and output shaft seals, your customers can make sure their engines stay healthy and free of contaminants. They can also prevent messy oil leaks.

Shift shaft and output shaft seals, seemingly simple parts, are critical to the health of a motorcycle’s engine and their function is two-fold. Obviously, they’ll keep an engine from leaking oil, prevent it from disgorging its lubricant and making a mess of things.

The company’s engineers carefully analyze the environment in which any gasket or seal will perform, selecting the proper material and applying the right technology to offer high quality gaskets and seals for today’s everchanging marketplace.

Just as important, those seals also prevent outside contaminants from getting inside an engine, where they don’t belong. With a good, leak-free shift shaft and output shaft seal, the oil stays cleaner longer and internal engine components, all the bearings and such, can lead a longer, healthier life. Parking spots and garage floors stay cleaner, too.

Cooling the Slingshot

The Three-Wheeler Power Pipe

Bassani’s Side Exit exhaust system helps prevent excessive heat buildup in the passenger compartment of the Polaris Slingshot.

he Polaris Slingshot has turned heads since the three-wheeler was first announced. Tough to pigeonhole (Is it a motorcycle based three-wheeler or is it a low-slung automobile just missing one of its rear wheels?), the Slingshot is undeniably fun. Here’s a ride putting both the driver and passenger right up front and face-to-face with the fast-paced action. The Slingshot’s gained a strong following during its relatively short time in the market. Unfortunately, it’s also been the recipient of a fair number of complaints, mostly coming from the passenger seat. Specifically, things over there can get downright toasty. It’s the result of the Slingshot’s OE exhaust system design; it’s confined inside the bodywork right over there by the passenger seat. So, as much fun as a ride in the Slingshot can be, those rides can be cut prematurely short. Bassani has the fix. It’s a brand-new Side Exit high-performance exhaust system just for the Slingshot. In addition to adding Bassani power and tone, it addresses that heat problem. The system is a great way to improve power and performance as well as relieve all that excess heat from the passenger side, heat rolling off the stock exhaust system and becoming trapped inside the bodywork. Parts Unlimited has it.

There’s more. With the addition of the optional Off-Road Down Pipe, that mounts directly to the Slingshot’s stock exhaust manifold, not only is all that heat relieved, the Slingshot gets a significant power and performance boost. Bassani testing has shown a 10 horsepower gain at the rear wheel without any special tune. And beyond all this, beyond the power and performance gain and the welcome relief from that passenger-seat heat, the new Bassani Slingshot Side Exit exhaust sounds great. It has an aggressive note without that annoying drone set up by the stock system. It’s perfect for everyday driving and installation is easy, requiring only the drilling of one hole in the side panel on the passenger side for the exhaust pipe to pass through. For a lot of good reasons the Slingshots have a lot of followers. Bassani’s Side Exit exhaust system corrects the one big concern they all voice – the excess heat felt in the passenger compartment. Add in the power gains the system produces and its aggressive, but agreeable, tone and the swap becomes a win/win/win situation, an easy sale to a Slingshot owner. ■

Highlights for 2018 include the Sequence range of protection and the versatile Bionic Action Jacket, which is extremely lightweight and ventilated with CE-certified protection on the shoulder and elbows (level 1), back (level 1) and chest (level 2). Alpinestars’ Bionic Action jacket offers strategic protection without being bulky or impeding movement thanks to its ergonomically engineered design and build. With rigorous attention to detail, each protection plate and component has been developed to reduce weight while providing close-fitting body coverage. The Bionic Action jacket’s plates are contoured to the natural curvature of the body and incorporate airflow channeling to prevent heat build-up. All plates (back, chest, elbows and shoulder) are constructed from an injected polymer for flexibility and weight saving. The plates feature an innovative integrated grid structure that absorbs and dissipates energy forces across its surface during an impact. The jacket’s back protector features three articulated plates to allow for greater flexibility and adaptive fit in all riding positions. The plates are designed to biomechanically interlock in the event of a crash to reduce potential injury to the spine area. All the jacket’s protection surfaces are held tightly and securely in position thanks to the jacket’s Elastane stretch mesh body vest and elastic kidney belt system that gives a customized, secure fit.

Tough Basket

Forged Clutch Baskets for Strength, Reliability

malfunctioning clutch can render a bike or ATV un-rideable. Fortunately, Wiseco clutch baskets come to the rescue of riders who need a strong, reliable option.

Wiseco’s forged clutch basket comes with a lifetime guarantee. Stock clutch baskets are made of die-cast aluminum, which tend to commonly wear out or notch. Wiseco’s solution is a clutch basket made from 6061 aluminum that is heat-treated to a T6 condition. The metal blanks are forged, a process that helps give the aluminum feature-aligned grain flow, increasing the tensile strength along with resistance to impact and fatigue. To enhance strength, each pre-machined piece of forged aluminum is as close to the final size as it can be.

Engine Components that Take a Beating

irt bikes take a lot of abuse during a full season of riding and racing, and the off-season is the time when dealers can help prep engines for the new season ahead. ProX offers a variety of replacement key engine components through Parts Europe. ProX titanium nitrided valves are a direct and cost-effective replacement for the stock valves, offering increased durability and less wear under extreme conditions. ProX valve and spring kits include springs made from a pre-

mium chrome vanadium steel for better performance at high rpms. Each kit contains a set of steel intake or exhaust valves plus a set of valve springs. The components are compatible with the OEM retainers, bases and valve seals. Parts Europe carries ProX pistons in standard and oversized designs, and each kit includes rings, wrist pins and circlips. A low-expansion, low-friction aluminum alloy — the same material used by most OEMs — is used to manufacture ProX pistons on precision CNC equipment. The pistons meet or exceed OEM specs and are machined to extremely close tolerances. ProX complete clutch plate kits contain all friction and steel plates plus clutch springs for a complete clutch refresh. The plates are manufactured by factories that produce OE parts to exact specs, offering OEM durability at a great value.

ProX has titanium nitrided valves and spring kits, and complete clutch kits that are designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

According to ProX, its clutch springs are 10 percent stiffer than OEM, enhancing control and instant drive attributes. ProX clutch plates can be paired with either OEM or ProX clutch components. ■

Clutches for Yamaha’s Sport Side-By-Side

amaha’s YXZ1000R is a real performance machine. With its triple-cylinder DOHC engine, a 10,500-rpm redline, a 5-speed sequential shift transmission and fully adjustable suspension, this unit is fully loaded. Barnett, a name well known for performance itself, has three different clutch upgrades for the YXZ1000R. The upgrades begin with a Barnett Clutch-plate Kit that replaces the factory pieces with 11 all-new Kevlar friction plates and 10 tempered steel drive plates. They’re a direct drop-in fit retaining the stock cushions/seats and the result is a significantly improved grip with smoother, more positive engagement overall.

The YXZ1000R spring-conversion, like Barnett’s other kits, replaces the stock diaphragm-type clutch spring and its cast pressure plate with six heavy-duty coil springs and a pressure plate CNC machined from billet aluminum. It provides strong, controllable, linear engagement and all the durability an YXZ1000R demands. Sport side-by-sides, the YXZ1000R especially, really give their clutches a workout. Strong, reliable, durable performance is a necessity and Barnett’s upgrades answer that demand. ■

Next, there’s the new Competition Clutch Kit. This time clutch capacity is maximized with 11 wide versions of those Kevlar friction plates coupled with the 10 tempered-steel plates. The Competition Kit also eliminates the narrow OE friction plates/cushions used in the factory 2016 and 2017 models. The latest addition to this upgrade lineup is a complete Clutch-spring Conversion Kit for the YXZ1000R, the ultimate companion to either of those plate-kits. 5

In Sync

Tools for Improving Performance

here are still many motorcycles out there with multiple carburetors or individual fuel injection throttle bodies in need of accurate synchronizing. The advantage of fuel injection mapping becomes apparent when throttle valves actually open and shut in unison. TecMate has two updated solid-state synchronizing tools that can help dealers and their customers reach the goal of maximized engine power. The new TS-110 CarbMate (p/n 3804-0023) is a dual cylinder synchronizer that is cost effective and easy to use. CarbMate displays the difference in vacuum intake pressure between two separate carburetors (or fuel injection throttle valves) on the same engine. Once zeroed, it is as simple as getting the LED display to hit dead center. Further fine-tuning is possible from 2cmHg down to a more accurate and OEM-recommended 0.5cmHg. CarbMate is powered directly from the vehicle’s 12V battery. The updated TS-72 VacuumMate Allweather (p/n 3804-0057) kit is an affordable option for dealers demanding fast and accurate synchronizing of up to four carburetors or fuel injection throttle valves on two-stroke and four-stroke engines. VacuumMate displays individual manifold pressure on four vertically arranged LED bars. Features include set resolution of 0.5cmHg, selectable scales from 20cmHg to 55cmHg, an idle speed tachometer ranging up to 2000 rpm, and a dynamic mode to troubleshoot valve-seating issues that affect synchronizing. The kit includes unique flexi-rigid M5 and M6 manifold adapters and a charge cable for recharging the internal battery from any 12V source. ■

DE Synchronisation - Instrumente für eine Leistungssteigerung

Es gibt noch viele Motorräder mit mehreren Vergasern oder einzelnen Kraftstoffeinspritzdrosselklappen, die eine genaue Synchronisation erfordern. Der Vorteil von Kraftstoffeinspritzsystemen wird deutlich, wenn sich die Drosselklappen gleichzeitig öffnen und schließen. TecMate verfügt über zwei neue Festkörper-Synchronisationsinstrumente, die Händlern und ihren Kunden helfen können, eine optimale Motorleistung zu erzielen. Der neue TS-110 CarbMate (Teilenr. 3804-0023) ist ein Doppelzylinder-Synchronisierer, der kostengünstig und einfach zu bedienen ist. CarbMate zeigt den Unterschied im Vakuumeinlassdruck zwischen zwei getrennten Vergasern (oder Kraftstoffeinspritzdrosselklappen) am gleichen Motor an. Einmal genullt ist es so einfach, wie die LED-Anzeige auf den Totpunkt zu bringen. Eine weitere Feinabstimmung ist von 2 cmHg bis zu genaueren und von Erstausrüstern empfohlenen 0,5 cmHg möglich. CarbMate wird direkt von der 12-V-Batterie des Fahrzeugs versorgt.

VacuumMate zeigt den individuellen Verteilerdruck auf vier vertikal angeordneten LED-Balken an. Es bietet die folgenden Funktionalitäten: festgelegte Auflösung von 0,5 cmHg, wählbare Skalen von 20 cmHg bis 55 cmHg, ein Leerlaufdrehzahlmesser, der bis zu 2000 U/min reicht, und ein dynamischer Modus, um Ventilsitzprobleme zu beheben, die die Synchronisation beeinflussen.

FR Synchronisation - Des outils qui permettent d’améliorer les performances

De nombreuses motos possèdent encore des carburateurs multiples ou des boîtiers papillons individuels à injection nécessitant une synchronisation précise. Les avantages d’une cartographie d’injection deviennent évidents lorsque les papillons s’ouvrent et se referment en tandem. TecMate a actualisé deux outils de synchronisation à l’état solide qui peuvent aider les revendeurs et leurs clients à obtenir une puissance motrice optimale. Le nouveau TS-110 CarbMate (référence 3804-0023) est un synchroniseur deux cylindres d’un excellent rapport qualité-prix et simple d’utilisation. CarbMate affiche la différence de pression d’admission entre deux carburateurs séparés (ou boîtiers papillons à injection) sur le même moteur. Une fois mis à zéro, c’est aussi simple que de voir le voyant du point mort s’afficher. Plusieurs réglages sont disponibles ; de 2 cmHg à 0,5 cmHg (ce dernier permettant une précision accrue et étant recommandé par les équipementiers). CarbMate est alimenté directement par la batterie du véhicule (12 V). La version actualisée du kit TS-72 VacuumMate Allweather (référence 3804-0057) représente une option abordable

VacuumMate affiche la pression de chaque collecteur sur une quatre rangées de voyants disposés verticalement. Parmi ses caractéristique, nous comptons une résolution de 0,5 cmHg, une sélection allant de 20 cmHg à 55 cmHg, un tachymètre allant du régime de ralenti jusqu’à 2 000 tr/min, et un mode dynamique pour résoudre les problèmes liés aux sièges de soupape pouvant affecter la synchronisation. Le kit comprend des adaptateurs M5 et M6 flexi-rigides et un câble de charge pour recharger la batterie interne à partir d’une source d’alimentation de 12 V.

IT Sincronizzati - Strumenti per migliorare le prestazioni

Ci sono ancora numerose motociclette in circolazione con carburatori multipli o con corpi farfallati singoli per iniezione del carburante che necessitano di una sincronizzazione accurata. Il vantaggio di una mappatura dell’iniezione del carburante è evidente quando effettivamente le valvole a farfalla si aprono e si chiudono una dopo l’altra. TecMate ha due strumenti di sincronizzazione di stato solido aggiornati, che possono aiutare i rivenditori e i loro clienti a sfruttare al massimo la potenza del motore.

A D

Il nuovo TS-110 CarbMate (p/n 3804-0023) è un sincronizzatore a due cilindri efficiente in termini di costi e facile da utilizzare. CarbMate mostra la differenza nella pressione di aspirazione del vuoto tra due carburatori distinti (o valvole a farfalla per l’iniezione di carburante) sullo stesso motore. Una volta azzerato, è sufficiente inquadrare con il display LED il centro esatto. Una ulteriore regolazione è possibile da 2 cmHg a 0,5 cmHg, risoluzione più precisa e raccomandata dai produttori di ricambi originali. CarbMate è alimentato direttamente dalla batteria da 12 V del veicolo.

TECMATE

pour les revendeurs qui souhaitent obtenir une synchronisation rapide et précise jusqu’à quatre papillons (carburateurs ou injection) sur moteurs deux ou quatre temps.

Il nuovo kit TS-72 VacuumMate Allweather (p/n 38040057) è una opzione conveniente per i rivenditori che richiedono di sincronizzare in modo veloce e preciso fino a quattro carburatori o valvole a farfalla per l’iniezione del carburante su motori a due o quattro tempi. VacuumMate visualizza la pressione del singolo collettore su quattro barre LED verticali. Le caratteristiche comprendono risoluzione impostata di 0,5 cmHg, scale selezionabili da 20 cmHg to 55 cmHg, un tachimetro della velocità a regime minimo che arriva a 2000 rpm, e una modalità dynamic per la risoluzione dei problemi della tenuta della valvola, che colpiscono la sincronizzazione. Il kit comprende gli esclusivi adattatori collettori flexi-rigidi M5 e M6 e un cavo di carica per ricaricare la batteria interna utilizzando una qualsiasi fonte di alimentazione da 12 V.
