Bullet Service Guide SOME TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Boro: Internal diameter of a eylinder ‘Top Dead Centre (TDC) : The extreme upward traval limit of piston. Bottom Dead Centre (BDC) : ‘The extreme downward travel limit of piston. Stroke : Movement of piston from one dead centre to the other. Stroke length : ‘The distance between top and bottom dead centres. ‘Cubic Capacity (Swept Volume) : ‘The Volume the piston displaces when it moves from one dead centre to other. m2 a where, = = 22/7, D = Bore, /= Stroke length Clearance Volume : Volume of the Cylinder above the pision when it is at TOC. Total Volume Volume of the cylinder above the piston when itis at BDC = Swept Volume + Clearance Volume Compression Ratio (CR) : It is the ratio of the total volume to the clearance volume. = Total volume ; Clearance volume Torque (Turning Effort) : ‘The work crank shaft is capable of doing = Cr. arm length x Force. Maximum torque gocurs when maximum fuel burns per cycle in the cylinder in @ given engine. Power : The rate of doing work. Bullet Service Guide SOME TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Horse Power : (HP) Mechanical unit of power 1 HP = 746 watts. Brake Horse Power : (BHP) HP available at the crank shaft for doing usefull work BHP = Torque x Engine speed. For any given cubic capacity engine, the BHP can be increased by 1. increasing the torque by arranging to burn more fuel per cycle. 2. shifting the peak torque to higher rpm A Typical BHP, Torque curve : Max. torque Torque Curve Max.

Bullet Service Guide CLEANING AND ASSEMBLY PRECAUTIONS Ensure, the vehicle needs the service you contemplate by proper investigation and analysis Keep the vehicle on a ramp so as to stand and work. People work faster this way. Arrange parts removed in trays, neatly. Inspect all parts, decide the parts you need for servicing and procure it. Only then start assembly Clean all components (except rubber and ‘electrical parts) in clean kerosene ail mixed with 2% Engine oll, Never use petrol for cleaning. It is costlier and hazardous. Apply lubricating oil on piston, piston ring, and eylinder bore before assembly. Apply oil on threads of bolts and nuts. Replace washers, seals, gaskets and circlips ‘while overhauling. Always use right tools while working to make the ‘work faster, safer and dependabl Use impact screw driver for loosening jammed screws, Heat the aluminium bearing bores for removal and assembly of bearings. Ensure sealing surfaces are clean and free from scoring and warpage. ‘When using liquid gasket, ensure it does not flow into the threaded holes. ‘While assembling, ensure %* Arrow mark on the piston, faces exhaust side. x The open end of the chain lock to face opposite to normal direction of chain rotation. * ‘The numberof notches from the punch marks of the chain adjuster cams to the notch resting on the pin are to be equal at LH & RH sides. 40 WoRNG WITH WOTOR 17.

Never over charge the battery - it damages the battery. 4, Remave the battery from the motorcycle and store it separately when the motorcycle is net in ‘operation for more than one month. 8, Recharge stored batteries once a month. 6. Check the terminals and cables for corrosion. Apply petroleum jelly on terminals to prevent corrasien. 54 Bullet Service Guide Hydrometer is used to check specific gravity of electrolyte. The float graduation in level with the electrolyte in it, is the specific gravity of the eleciralyte. The active materials in the plates are converted into lead suphate during discharge. This lead sulphate is reconverted to active materials during recharge. If the battery remains in discharged condition for Jong periods or excess quantity of acid is used in the electrolyte, the lead sulphate is converted to hard trysialline substance. This is sulphation. Sulphated batteries do not take normal charging |.e, during charging the lead sulphate will not get reconverted to active materials. Such batteries may show normal voltage with out load, but do not take load, ‘The positive and negative plates remain submerged in electrolyte. However, when electrolyte level is Jess than the minimum Indic: the active materials on the plate get exposed to atmospheric air. The active materials, then reacts with water vapour of the atmosphere, forming white spots on the plate. This is hydration. Hydration reduces the active area on the plates for chemical reaction. This reduces battery capacity. The active material of the plates falling off is shedding. Over charging and rough handling are the main causes for it, Over charging of the battery also may cause buckling of the plates, rendering the battery unserviceable, Over charging means charging of the battery with excessive current. Bullet Service Guide Hot plug aid pug ‘Spark plug is a vital part of ignition system, They are subjected to high combustion pressure (around 40 times the atmospheric pressure), intense heat (more than 2000 dag.c. temperature) and severe vibrations.

SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE Neglecting the spark plug maintenance eventually leads to difficult starting and poor performance. If the spark plug is used for a long period, the electrode gradually burns away and carbon builds up along the inside part. Once in 3000 Kms or earlier, the plug should be remove forinspection, cleaning and resetting the gap. ‘Carbon deposits on the spark plug establishes a "shunt" between center and earth electrodes, that prevents good sparking and causes misfiring. Clean the deposits off periodically, with a spark plug cleaning tool/machine. ‘Check spark plug for worn out earth and center electrodes.
