Which parts of the motorcycle have bearings?

2019-04-25

Motorcycles have become popular all over the world as a convenient means of transportation, and wherever they are found there will always be bearings rotating. Large numbers of bearings are used in motorcycles. Actual numbers vary depending on the model and other structural factors, but a single motorcycle will have around 20 to 30 bearings built in. These bearings are used in key revolving parts, supporting the vehicle’s running, including:

1. the engine

2. the transmission

3. the wheels

4. the head race

5. the swing arm

6. linkage bearing kits

7. the steering…

They help to reduce friction and to ensure that the motive power of the engine is reliably transmitted to the wheels.

The function of motorcycle bearing mainly includes: 

1. Facilitating a smooth ride due to low friction and vibration

2. Ensuring durability

These factors effect fuel consumption and safety, both of which have a close relationship to our lives. We are always pursuing smoothness in bearing rotation and hope that everyone will be able to enjoy smoother rides with reduced power losses.
