The Important Body Parts of a
Two-Wheeler are:
- Axle: The axle is a central
shaft for a rotating wheel or gear for maintaining the position of
the wheels, relative to each other and to the vehicle body.
- Ball Bearing: A ball
bearing provides location and support for the moving parts and
ensures minimum friction.
- Battery It is the vehicle's
initial source of energy used to start the engine. It has
wires/cables for connecting it with the rest of the starting and
charging circuits.
- Bumper: The bumper of a
two-wheeler protects the front end of a two wheeler from rock and
road debris.
- Chains: Chains transfers power
from the transmission to the rear wheel. It has a cover to protect
the rider and pillion passengers from the chain.
- Chassis: A two wheeler
chassis is the main carriage system of a vehicle and consists of the
frame, suspension, wheels and brakes.
- Fairings / Windshields:
It is a shield placed over the frame of a two-wheeler to protect the
rider from wind.
- Foot Rest: They are mounted
on the sides of the vehicle and are meant to keep the feet on while
driving.
- Fork Legs / Tubes:
They hold the front wheel of a two-wheeler and act as a shock
absorber.
- Gaskets: A gasket is a seal
between two objects for the purpose of preventing leakage between
the two objects under compression.
- Handle Bar: The handle bars
are where the rider places his right and left arms for steering and
pivoting.
- Knock Sensor: The knock
sensor senses knock / irregular vibrations and sends information to
the electronic engine management control unit.
- Mudguard: It is a curved
piece above the wheel of a two-wheeler for the purpose of protecting
the rider from water or mud thrown up by the wheels.
- Radiator: The radiator
disperses the heat which was absorbed from the engine by the
coolant. It also has a radiator cap.
- Shock Absorbers:
Shock absorbers smooth out or damp a sudden shock impulse and
dissipate kinetic energy.
- Suspension: It is a
collection of springs and shock absorbers, insulates both the rider
and the bulk of the machine from road shocks.
