What Is A Vertically Stacked Gearbox?

[@samcooke2742]

Terrific little piece. I was a little disappointed that Mr. Cameron didn't have a 1922 Moto Guzzi in his junkyard, but seeing the old Kaw was still pretty nice. The print mag needs more of this content. There's real art in Mr. Cameron's dirty fingers that the magazine's arty photographers are still looking for.

Excellent video as always, it would be awesome if you could give some insight into different gearbox types, notably cassette type and maybe other types that might exist. Cheers

Mr. Cameron, you explain motorcycles wonderfully! Thank you!

[@janis916]

Thank you Mr Cameron! Would it be possible to have a video on seamless gearboxes? :) :)

[@monteiro5306]

As great as ever.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Always hear about motocycles having a verticly stacked transmission but never new why it was a good thing to have. Thanks for the info Kevin.

Then when you went home to your shop you'd say "I'm gonna make a longer swingarm for this little turkey". I love it

Kevin Cameron is a national treasure

Motorcycles accelerate wonderfully indeed!

[@MC-Racing]

I concur to the last statement very much :-D

[@blipco5]

At what RPM is this engine most efficient?

[@usmcvet0313]

Very cool.

[@mustafaYkhan]

Who else misses the creepy music??????!!!!!!!

[@blipco5]

It's not creepy. And I miss it though I don't think Kevin is the one who insisted it be there.

I might seem dumb but is the video "reversed", "mirrored" or something? The first block seems to has its drive chain at the right side and the second has its clutch at left? I have gotten used to opposite design..

[@HardwareG33k]

Look at the writing on the folders. The video is not mirrored. The location of the clutch depends on the engine design, it's not always the same. Same goes for the chain, some bikes have it on the left, others on the right (example: BMW F800R).

[@Bloodgres]

@@HardwareG33k Yes, I do know that the arrangements can be various, BUT: He says, that the first block is a Kawasaki 500 and the second is a CBR. Now I can't remember any of these models having the opposite arrangement.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Wow! Guzzi in the 20s. Who knew besides Kevin? Nothing new under the sun.
