The flywheel is an important component in the drive system of a motorbike. It is located on the crankshaft and serves to transmit the engine's torque evenly and minimise vibrations.
This usually consists of a heavy metal ring attached to the crankshaft. It stores kinetic energy during the combustion stroke and releases it during the stroke change to maintain a smooth rotational motion of the crankshaft.
The flywheel is closely connected to the clutch and enables smooth separation and connection of the drivetrain. It is also often equipped with a ring gear that drives the motorbike's starter motor and engages the engine when it is started. Proper inspection and maintenance of the flywheel are important to ensure its functionality and reliability.
