Racing fuels are blended with several high quality mixtures to enable the fuel matches to the high performance racing engines. Octane rating of the fuel should be below 110 and is strictly regulated in US. Even many racers uses the aviation fuels to increase the capacity but is strictly regulated in many countries. Aviation gasolines are preferred for only limited application but for the maximum performance races go for the racing gasoline instead of aviation gasoline because they need their bike engine to be immune to detonation. The primary element of safety in racing is the tire which is responsible for the gripping against skidding in steep curves. It is also offence to use these tracing tires in the highway. Tubular tire was the most used racing tires but because of the high risk included in repairing them they have become out of market today. Though high quality race tires have been used during races it requires a frequent replacement of tires. Slick tire was one among them which had no grooves on them so as to provide the maximum contact area to the surface to improve the grip.

FUEL INJECTION TECHNIUE OF THIS CENTURY
Fuel injection technique is just combining fuel with the substances present in the engine to initiate engine operation. Conventional system of fuel injection using carburetors was not sufficient to achieve better performance of the engine. So, the tactical and strategic innovations in fuel injection technique gave rise to a marvelous fuel injection technique that controls the fuel injection electronically was introduced. In this fuel injection technique the excellent automated control system is achieved with the help of modern sensors and the related equipments which carefully monitors the rate at which the fuel is injected in to the engine. These sensors clearly monitor the working of the engine and senses the changes in the engine components and act accordingly. This system of fuel injection has helped greatly in improving the overall performance.

NEED FOR BIKE ACCESSORIES
Though various modern technologies have evolved in designing a bike, people are still unaware of the need for its accessories. These accessories also play a very important role while driving a bike. Important accessories of the bike includes head lights, horn, speedometer ,fuel indicator etc…The required bike accessories are provided by the manufactures when it is purchased, but these accessories would have been lost or damaged due to some unavoidable reasons. They should be replaced with their latest version .Because these helps getting a clear view of the vehicles in the dark, gives a signal to the vehicles at the back when brakes are applied gives information about the availability of fuel, and still and many important accident preventing features are available in these accessories. So, replace the bike accessories at the right time and make your travel comfortable.

USE OF ALLOY WHEELS ENHANCES THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR BIKE
Wheels made from the materials like the alloys of aluminum are referred as alloy wheels. The main properties that differentiate it from the others are the loss in weight when compared to the steel wheels of same size. The cost is little higher when compared with the standard steel wheel. Because of their shining nature they have no need to be painted dislike the steel wheels. But corrosion is possible in this case so that it needs a regular maintenance which may lead to leakage of air. Because of their high price it is often repaired rather than replacement in case of damage. Use of low quality wheels with less mechanical and tensile strength may reduce the overall performance of the bike. Especially the mileage of the vehicle will be considerably reduced

EVOLUTION OF ELECTRIC BIKES
Before the invention of automobiles people used horses and buffaloes to move from place to place. But later on to make their journey faster and simpler, automobile technology came in to existence only before few centuries. In this technique, different types of engines that require various types of fuels were used. Some of the engines are diesel engine, petrol engine, etc…… These fuels are obtained from the natural reserves containing crude oil. These reserves will satisfy the needs of the automobiles only for another 25 years, so a modern technique of locomotion came in to existence. It used electricity for its operation. The development in this modern technology is not so fast. So many steps are taken by world class automobile companies to flourish this technology in another few decades.

CHARMING BIKE MAINTANENCE TIPS
In this modern busy world people use bikes to reach their destinations faster. So it’s obvious that they don’t have sufficient time to maintain their bikes. But periodical maintenance of the bike has become more essential to achieve consistent performance. First and foremost unit that needs maintenance is tyres. Minute flaws and pressure of air in the tyres should be checked periodically. Mileage of the bike is greatly dependent on the condition of tyres. Maintenance of tyres also ensures safe ride without skidding and somersaulting in the wet roads. Proper lubrication of the components should be done .Another important thing to be considered is the level of oil in the engine. Engine should be periodically for optimum level of oil or else the piston may get jammed leading to severe damages. Brakes should be altered based on the needs of the rider.

WHAT IS A EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust system consists of exhaust pipes and cylinders. The design of exhaust pipes should be thriftier to achieve long life. These pipes are constructed with special heat resistant materials to resist the high temperatures resulting from combustion. They are responsible for out-letting the harmful gases produced by the combustion of fuel. The harmful gases like carbon monoxide, hydrogen peroxide etc… affects the performance of the bike if not treated at a proper time. Now days, bikes with a large capacity engine having four cylinders are provided with two exhaust systems. The most important requirement of the exhaust system is that it should satisfy all the conditions of the environment pollution control board. In modern exhaust systems mufflers and dampers are available to enhance the speed torque characteristics of the bike.
