From cylinder to clutch to transmission: a complete Motorcycle Engine explained

[@harrisashraff]

that's how a person with pure passion explains things for you

[@richieodonnell2712]

I agree.. this is incredible. I've learned so much!

[@Kakabeblen]

This is priceless. As someone who is passionate about the "Behind the scenes" in vehicles, and specifically in motorcycles, this is just a beautiful presentation. While not extremely detailed, you touched on all the important subjects. It was very fun to watch and see how everything corresponds with each other. I love how you ended the video with "I would like you to think. . . ", people like you (Thinkers!) Is what we need more of. Thank you!

[@avimuhammad7584]

I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@Fear08MX]

If there was a reward for most the helpful video on youtube, this would get it.

[@antivorg1239]

This is one of the best demonstrations I've seen, very good job!

[@everynameipickisunav]

"even the simplistic animation will explain it" please do your self some justice. You made it easy to understand. Your sequential gearbox explanation was awesome and so much easier to understand than any other animated video. thank you.

[@binnybaburaj3427]

this is what engineering students need before they actually go through text books

[@abyjan28]

Binny Baburaj true that!

[@hafeezsk8]

to be specific, its mechanicl engineering student.. because im a civil engineering student found that its no so related to us.

[@muhammadasif834]

I am pre medical student.

[@MUSHIN_888]

Legit because they jump straight into the theoretical boring stuff so u don’t really know what ur looking at or what the applications are

[@shubhamradix]

Well done! mate..You described a very complicated thing in very simple way..I never had this kind of lesson before...

[@ZAMsChannel]

Excellent video and explanations. Thumbs up.

[@djvugts5510]

This was Premium!

[@GregDollar]

Ok bro....I'm in auto mechanic school and motorcycle school at the same time and this video helped me understand more about how things work than anything I've studied so far. Now, I will learn it much better eventually, but no one could do such a better job at making it so detailed yet very easy to understand. Thank you very much for taking the time out to produce this.

[@CorrupteddSanity]

The value of your tutorial should be measured in gold. Thank you.

[@sagarchoubey9157]

This 24:36 min video is pure gold .and the man demonstrating is pure gem .

[@pokeitwithastick7869]

THIS is the video I will show anyone that ever asks me ;or is interested in how, a motorcycle engine works.Great job, in clear terms.

[@brenguy333]

Excellent quality! Thanks for taking the time and explaining everything from an introductory overview of the engine! Great for beginners like me.

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

Excellent explanation... Perhaps the most underrated video of all time... You should be getting more views.... Been riding motorcycles for 8 years and never completely understood how it works.... The motorcycle model you choose for explaining this video was very clear and generic to motorcycles we get in our country. Hence I was able to relate to it and understand it completely.... Thanks for the awesome video. Keep it up...

[@shaun374]

I have wanted to know how engines work for years. I have NO mechanical ability and not a ton of interest working on engines, but I've always been curious. I look at them like magic and get a headache when i read about engine stuff because I can't wrap my brain around what's going on. In 24 minutes you demystified everything and made me feel like, yes, I actually can know this stuff. This was an amazing video.

[@mohammadkamran5862]

Thanks so much for taking out the time for this. Its amazing! This is exactly what i was looking for to understand the entire process. I start to get curious about how things work as I'm around them since I started riding I've been learning more and more about how different parts of the motorcycles work, and this video helped me learn alot as well. Thanks man.

[@recoilzriot6211]

Your improper English was the best thing about this video , it was slow and steady , i love it , great job

[@muhammadrinaldo9515]

Its easier for me to understand your videos, than learning economics in my class. Thank you dear sir!

[@BobbyMacwan]

I already learnt these IC engines ( 2 strokes and 4 strokes ) in my collage . and this video has added more information and more knowledge in me . thank you for making this video .

[@cwissyuwu]

Over 2 years and still the best video on KZbin, hands down. Bravo Al. Bravo.

[@remotesuumo6673]

I've seen so many of these videos, including 3D animations which helped but not as much us this. Seeing the actual parts and how they interact like this has really helped me understand. Thank you.

[@prabinlamsal5125]

You don't know how much I appreciate your effort and how much I respect you. Thanks a lot, mate.

[@Bur1yBoy]

I am new to learning about Motorcylces after having an interest in them for so many years. This is one of the best explanations i have seen so far. Maybe not the best to some people who know more. But as a novice, this is helping me out loads to understand Motorcycles. Thank you

[@livewireflyer3590]

hats off to this guy....I came in here with a lot of doubts and got everything explained in this single video!

[@Twoyutes74]

this is the most comprehensive explanation of ANYTHING I've ever seen.

[@TheHumanSpirit]

Never ever remove this video please. It is EXCELLENT. Thank you!

[@razss6038]

seeing so many comments from more than 5 years ago that are saying the exact things I want to say. Amazing job and thank you for helping me understand this, very very well done.

[@mxclr8]

Not only did you teach, but you inspired as well. The ending comments of the video really encouraged me to apply what you taught and inspired me to think outside the box. Well taught, many thanks. God bless.

[@Jan_Nicolaisen]

Subscribed and bookmarked, I'm a new driver (working on my license now), but as a lifelong IT professional I know that the best way to know what you're dealing with, is knowing what makes it tick and how it all works together. I love the videos and the in-depth descriptions, they make it really easy to understand what you are teaching.

[@middleware2devops]

It resolved all my fundamental doubts on how motor and gear along with clutch works... Thanks much man....

[@rnino86]

This is probably the best video on KZbin for understanding how this stuff works. Thank you so much!!

[@miguelmedina2983]

This is perfect for me. A chill step by step and each step explained succinctly. You have a great disposition.

[@kazfleszar5899]

this man is such a good teacher .i could take in every thing he was saying with out even thinking about it .i feel i know more about my bike now .thanks.

[@scoops2]

Fantastic explanation! And I love your speech at the end too, very inspiring. Maybe somebody watching this video will come up with an idea that nobody came up with in a hundred years.

[@cassidygutierrez9675]

Excellent and concise video, I'm a 17 year old girl that's interested in becoming a bike mechanic so this video was very informative for me, explained a complex concept in a simple way, thanks a lot bro

[@MikeF031]

This is the most informative video about how a motorcycle works on all of youtube. Thank you very much.

[@raydithcom]

Thank you Man... I'm working on motorcycle manufacture as a brand developer and I already spend almost 10 years riding on my bike. Motorcycle is my passion and my life. But I never get better and more clear explanation about how an engine works until I find your video. This helped me so much. You make me loves my passion even more. Thank you very much!

[@mnsoans]

Duuude! thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us noobs who don't know how a motorcycle engine works! You answered so many of my questions in one video! It feels pretty good now to know what exactly is going on inside my bike's engine everytime I take it for a ride, pull in the clutch, shift gear, twist the throttle and listen to it purrr. Keep up the great work bro, ride safe!

[@indygross2625]

Probably the most helpful video I’ve ever watched on KZbin i learned so much not only for a motorcycle engine but just the engineering knowledge in this thank you so much.

[@MrCityGaming]

Ive just started Engineering degree and wanted to get in the basic engine make up knowledge and haven't found another video more useful.. Good going man keep it up!

[@mrmhi6515]

You are amazing It’s about 7 years niw and congrats You have teached thousands of people and just to mention, one of them is from iraq And he is so grateful. Thank you very much I hope you’re having a good life❤️

[@SharidBinShafique]

Thank you for the nice, simple and demonstration using original engine and its parts. I am a non engineering background but this video helped me significantly to get the sense of a motorcycle engine.

[@maurice5012]

I should've listened to my dad all those years ago but thankfully there's youtube and Al's Garage. Thanks for making this video.

[@glennmalone2830]

I knew nothing about engines before viewing this video. Now I feel I have a good understanding of parts and what they do.

[@sachinraje6064]

Thankyou for the great demonstration, there are tons of videos on KZbin which show lots of these stuff but this by far the most detailed and very well explained video, hands down. I have gained a whole new respect towards my motorcycle and also the marvel of engineering. Thankyou somuch and keep up the good work... Safe riding.

[@TheHumanSpirit]

This is the best video I've ever seen in terms of understanding the general mechanics of a motorcycle. And I have watched many. Thank you!

[@SnapperGrogan]

Brilliantly articulated with masterful camera work. Top job.

[@laurielyon7740]

I just viewed this excellent clip again. I can't remember if I posted a comment previously, however this is a great offering and I thank the contributor for his effort and his well thought out presentation.

[@rodneyfulmer7690]

Best instructional video I've seen in a while!!! Best motorcycle engine anatomy/physiology video I've ever seen! Great job sir, and thank you!

[@ssaran2]

This is hands down the most amazing KZbin video I have seen in a very long time. I learned more about the engines watching this video than in my months long physics classes in high school. Thank you 🙏

[@charlesvanmeter3958]

Very well done and appreciated, as a retired surgeon training myself in motorcycle mechanics. You are a great teacher and understand visual learners.

[@mpsmyth3000]

Only took me 30 years of riding motorcycles to watch a video on how it all works excellent video cheers👍🍺

[@clb1116]

Just started learning about motorcycle engines tonight and after about 10vids so far, this one is by far the most informative. I appreciate your time and patience expressed in this detailed and informative video.

[@BostonSyndicate]

Awesome video. Very simply and thoroughly explained!

[@Baleur]

This is amazing. It helps you understand on a deeper level. I always had this incorrect notion in my head that turning the throttle would "make the pistons go faster". But in reality, all you're doing is allowing more fuel to get sucked into the engine, then it automatically happens from that point on. So in some sense its kind of revolutionary to think, ALL the power of the engine, is already there, waiting, regardless of your throttle input. You're not creating more power, you're just ALLOWING more power, without restraint. So zero throttle is in fact 100% restraint, not 0% created power. This may sound stupid to mechanics, but this is a misconception i always had.

[@richfullerton9215]

This is the best general explanation of an engine I have ever seen.

[@ReedJH]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it. I hope you will post more about motorcycles and I certainly hope you and your garage/business has been prospering!

[@dewwy7369]

Awesome demonstration, great way of explaining without using long technical words that only particular students would know. An all round educational video of a simple single cylinder. Great Job, would recommend for sure.

[@YOU_CREATE_YOUR_OWN_KARMA_369]

i must say I've watched a lot of videos have made quite a few and have worked and opened up many car/motorcycle engines and i will for sure say that this man knows his shit and how he explained everything in detail and didn't rush he stopped explained reexplained then showed through example of motion i could not have asked for more! from a professional to a fresh rookie this video is helpful for ANYONE interested in learning about internal combustion engines and the dynamics of a working transmission engine clutch...GREAT VIDEO MATE!

[@craigthompson6174]

Hey buddy, that is a really good rundown of how a motorcycle engine etc works. It would be too much for someone with no pre existing knowledge to absorb, but is an excellent summary for someone like me. I already know the theory behind an engine, clutch, gearbox etc, but have never opened up an engine to see how it works in practice. Thank you for the significant time you have put into making this video.

[@katrkroberts8968]

My clutch quit responding mid-ride last week and I am about to start taking it apart today. Your video is giving me hope I can do this right! Thanks for taking the time and care to show how it all works together.

[@moto_misfit3496]

This was great! Im sure a lot of people, like myself, sorta felt dumb about using and loving something without even really knowing how it worked. This changed all that! I love my KLR even more now

[@Speedy-ud2gv]

What an amazing video, as someone who is gonna get a bike soon this is precisely what i needed, really well explained and a very nice calm voice to listen to for a long time. Thanks a lot for this perfect video

[@KsanterX]

Omg, it's friction! Finally I understand how clutch and transmission works! And all the other things! Thank you! Amazing video!

[@jakobrobertson2190]

This is a very helpful video. It really teaches a lot about how a combustion engine works and how everything is turned. Thank you for the video it is very useful for the smaller things that animations don't include

[@J5StarG]

You nailed this video! Didn't rush through and gave a super thorough explanation on each component. Really appreciate the time you took to make and share this info!!

[@neelkanthbk]

It's a very well-rounded video explaining the working of a motorcycle end-to-end. Thanks for the amazing video!!

[@squeaki3d544]

Thank you so much my dude, my partner is getting me into motorbikes and I've always been too intimidated to learn how engines work since I mostly work around computers. I love the no frills attitude and the demonstrations on how each part works and what they do, now when they are talking about their bike I can have a good understanding of what the hell they're bloody on about! Thanks!

[@behzad.b]

Hi I am here 9 years after the video and about your last question I would say it still is the same principle for Engines. All the love from IRAN

[@IndyCalmusic]

This has to be the most informative video I have ever watched. Thank you very much for uploading it.

[@nasrealam5496]

Fantastic, to say the least. I really enjoyed watching the entire video. I was searching for how a clutch works. But this video gave me the whole package. Thanks man. Kudos!

[@lexisrez2895]

Let me just say you are a badass for taking time to make this video. I have a much better understanding of a motorcycle engine now because of you. You explained everything thoroughly and simple, thank you for that! I'm excited to start on my cmx250 project

[@johngooss6379]

You are an awesome person. Thank you very much for your videos on the motorcycle engine parts and function. I am in awe of how clearly, completely, and efficiently your explanation was for every stage in the chronological timing of the bike's working. I am learning so I trust your accuracy of this explanation. Wow. Many thanks.

[@navneetthakur3770]

Superb Video and very good message...people should try alternate energy conversion in engine its really strange no one has done a good job in that area in 40 years :(

[@banius03]

Really, I am new to motorcycles and your channel has become the go to place for my questions.

[@alphamale4292]

WOW. Thank you so much for this very informative tutorial for a wannabe bike mechanic like myself. This is like attending a crash course for free. And good thing is, I can go through this all over again anytime. Cheers to you brother!

[@rafh7449]

A 100 times thanks my man. I have made a promise to myself to learn about motorcycles to be able to service and repair my own when needed, and hopefully build one myself one day. I am just starting out learning all there is to know and this video was awesome. No needless filler, just knowledge. Cheers

[@Notsurewhattoputlol]

hope all is going well 3 years on

[@Joshua-bh7iu]

This is one of the best and most informative videos ive seen on a motorcycle engine. Thanks alot mate!

[@Life_Is_A...]

Now motorcycles make sense. Thanks a lot for making this wonderfully illustrated video.

[@gathow1]

You deserve a commendation man. There aren't many videos that explain and show a representation from the engine itself. Awesome work bro :)

[@frederwin8279]

this is hands down one of the best videos ive seen on youtube, such a clear explanation, thank you

[@gouthamyeluru5412]

This 24 Minutes 36 Seconds of my life was worth living. Thank You so much for making this video. Awesome explanation !!

[@sameershaikh4888]

Crystal clear explanations..clearing each and every part of mechanics behind the machine! Good Job!!!

[@AcidikOmukukunavu]

You are a good teacher. i do ride but dint actually know what happens inside the bike engine, thank you

[@HamzaKhan-ms9it]

thanks sir. you are the best teacher of the planet Earth. I am sure that no book or video has better explanation.

[@bradenheal9927]

This has to be one of the coolest videos I have ever watched on youtube. Super interesting and enjoyable. I have always wondered about this stuff.

[@azlannakamoto7913]

What an amazing lesson.. ive gone thru several youtube videos on this topic this is by far the simplest and easiest to understand.. thank you my man. subscribed!

[@_jake_doran]

Coming back to this video every couple years because it's chill as fuck and educational. Thanks for your contributions brother

[@juliablin1684]

I was trying to figure out how an engine works and after watching this I final understand. Thank you so much!

[@houmanhadad9355]

Crystal clear explanation even for someone who's not Mech. Eng like me. Great job

[@Sttouf12]

Amazing video. I learned so much. Thank you man. Your accent sounds familiar, are you Moroccan?

[@AlsGarage]

Close! I'm from the other side of the Mediterranean.

[@daithidb]

+Al's Garage Italian?

[@POkSoLOX]

spanish?

[@Sttouf12]

He's Egyptian.

[@robkphoto5530]

Other side of the Mediterranean means Spain...

[@rickiedabomb6246]

Very nice video, Im new to the mechanics of an engine and know bits and bobs. but this is by far the best way of showing how it all works. this video is worth the subscription keep it up dude.

[@eldjswett]

Fantastic. Thank you. Just got my first moto. A simple Susuki GN125, and this video explained what is happening in that little engine super well. Cheers.

[@chinwakebhai]

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. Many functions are explained in plain language. I can truly say that my knowledge of the inner workings of my bikes is better and I can appreciate what happens when I operate the controls. Obviously you have put a lot of time, effort and planning this video and I am thankful to you for doing that.

[@sarahobsidianphoto2305]

This was so incredibly helpful for someone just starting on the journey of self-taught motorcycle mechanics. Looking forward to your other videos. Thanks dude!

[@trevorbrittain2924]

I knew nothing about motorcycle engines and now I'm a mechanic, thanks to this video! lol

[@imrankhan-iv9sn]

The video is very informative.. great demonstration! I would like to see more videos from you on different kind of engines, for example 2 stroke, 4 stroke and difference between them. Thanks very much!

[@inteblio]

I just want to say how much I enjoyed this video. Many thanks for making it.

[@leelomchen3119]

this is the best video ever about introducing motocycle's engine and transmission.

[@vasanthkumar4128]

Great presentation man. I'm completely new to motorcycle mechanism yet I understood all parts of engine operation and manual transmission
