How To Make A Motorcycle Faster

Making your motorcycle faster is an easy way to up your speed. There are a few steps that can be done in parallel, or even before the main goal of making your bike faster is achieved. This is great if you are running out of time!

These extra steps can be grouped into two main categories: gear upgrades and engine mods. Gear upgrades can be for tires, suspension components, or even modifications to the frame itself.

Engine mods can be for fuel injection, cam timing, and ignition settings. Some of these items such as fuel injection or ignition settings can not really make a huge difference in speed but can still be interesting to look at.

Upgrade the intake system

As mentioned earlier, your motorcycle has a combustion engine that produces power when it’s working. The more powerful it is, the more powerful it will be.

That’s why so many riders upgrade their engines – to make their bikes faster! There are many ways to upgrade the intake system on a motorcycle. Some of the best ones include filter replacement, upgraded air filters, and increased air intake capacity.

Upgrade the air filter every year or two to keep it functioning well and ensure you get good quality air. A quality filter will increase your range and help keep you cool on summer rides. Replacing the intake system every year or two keeps cost down as well.

When investing in new hardware for your bike, remember that hardware can be bought new or used.

Re-map the engine

When your motorcycle is performing well, it’s time to add some extra power. The first step in making your motorcycle faster is to figure out where the power comes from.

Most motorcycles have a transmission and engine. Your transmission can send power from the engine to the wheels, or vice-versa.

The easiest way to increase power on a bike is to add more weight to the frame. More powerful frames run a little money, but more powerful engines run less.

Mostly people find more powerful engines easier to control and ride. Both improvements in control and rider confidence can help you get better at riding your bike!

To make a bike even more powerful, then, you must find ways to add extra weight to the frame.

Change the tires

If you are riding a standard tire, try changing them for a hard-wearing tire. If you are riding tubeless tires, try finding a tube market or tire shop that can seal the tires up.

If you are riding tubeless tires, check your local snow conditions to see if they need snow tires to be reliable. Many bike shops do not stock snow tires because it is cost-prohibitive to have riders wear them out before attempting raceMTB!

Salvaged rubber is an easy way to make your motorcycle faster. You can get it at any hardware store, but be sure to test your new salamander fast-as-you-ride magic.

Another way to make your bike faster is to change the bearings and rollers.

Swap out the battery

Changing out the battery is one of the most overlooked ways to make your motorcycle faster. While there are many online resources that teach you how to do this, it is also a good skill to have at the shop.

You can purchase small kits that include a new battery and instructions on how to install it, or you can go directly to the manufacturer and purchase a new one. Either way, check the model of your motorcycle to see if they require a new battery as part of installing it.

If so, get the one for it! New batteries cost between $5 and $10 and will greatly improve your ride time and performance.

Another tip is to mix up which side of the bike you put the battery on. The top or bottom does not affect ride performance as much as having wrong information set. New batteries will help you out more than getting used to knowing which side puts out power.

Use a high performance shock oil

When riding a motorcycle, you will inevitably hit some obstacles. In fact, many riders say that making sure your motorcycle is oiled is one of the first things they do in the summer to ready it for the upcoming season.

While it is not possible to make your motorcycle go even faster by using oiling tools and directions, there are some things that can be done to make your bike more oiled and faster.

One of these ways is to use high performance shock oil. This can be bought at bike shops or online. It may cost a little bit more than standard oil, but saved you possibly having to change it out in the middle of a ride.

This allowed the shocks to soften the fall of the bike which added some extra speed to my movements on the road.

Adjust the fuel mixture

When you’re driving your motorcycle, you can change the fuel mixture by changing the position of the accelerator and brake pedals. You do this when you notice your speed is too slow or too fast, respectively.

When you stick your foot down on the accelerator, your throttle is closer to closed. This increases the flow of gas and lets you increase your speed even if you’re not necessarily pressing the peddle harder on the motorcycle.

Similarly, when you brake, your pedal has to be pressed harder to cause movement. This increases how hard you have to brake and how long your motorcycle will take to stop.

Mixing up these controls can make a big difference in how fast your bike goes and what kind of speeds you can achieve.

Use high performance parts

Most people start out by using cheap parts on the bike they’re building. These can be paper books or computer gamedesks that have been programmed to work with your bike.

You can also go to the local sports store and find equipment for practice, sale, and ride!

If you are going to use your own parts, take your time to learn their names and places in your bike setup. The right leg airbag should be called a spoiler, the rear shock should be called a shock, and the rear disc brake should be called a rotors.

These are part of your set up that you will use every day! Having these part of your set up will help make your rides better preparedness, and help keep you from making mistakes on the bike when taking advantage of these parts out of sight, effects efficacy.

Upgrade the transmission

If you are riding a rear-wheel-drive bike, you may want to upgrade the transmission on your bike. A front-wheel bike may not need an upgrade but for rear-wheel bikes, the transmission has more moving parts to overcome.

The transmission on a motorcycle is made up of three parts: the gearbox, the chain drive, and the clutch. The gearbox moves the chain while the chain drive moves the front and rear wheels. The clutch controls when both ends of the engine shift in unison which is important when shifting between first and second or third gears.

The cost of upgrading your transmission can be around $60-$80 plus labor for a professional job.
