Thanks Mike. That was very informative.
Let me see if I have this right. The force pushing downwards due to combustion, produces torque. That would be - force multiplied by length of crank web on the crankshaft equals torque.
RPM would be decided then by the time it takes the piston to...
Now, everyone knows that motorcycle engines work at much higher rpms than car engines.
They also produce lesser torque than a car, because (and correct if I'm wrong) bikes don't have as much load on them as cars do.
Can anybody tell me what goes in an engine that decides that when power is...
