Re: How motorcycle transmissions work
When I was a kid if I wanted go see how something worked I had to take it apart to undetstand it.
Ruined a lot a good stuff cause I couldn't get it back together!
Great vid, gonna forward it to a friend who I tried to explain constant velocity trans to.
Thankyou!
