Performance and Drivability

Students will learn the principles of motorcycle performance, and how to diagnose common performance and drivability issues using a motorcycle/ATV dynamometer. Training will include the operation of the dynamometer and associated computer software, and the use of exhaust gas analyzer (EGA) equipment. Students will learn effects that compression, cam and ignition timing, and cylinder head flow have on engines, and how to use OEM and aftermarket components to improve an engine’s performance.
