Racing Parts - Triumph Speed Triple 1050

Hi bike freaks

Any idea where to get racing parts for a Speed Triple 1050? like
supercharger, chip tuning, gears...

Haven't found anything on the internet besides of a 98 PS restrictor
;-)

Please help, need more torque for the bike! sob sob

Leonardo

 

the bike has plenty of torque.

if you want a race bike, buy a race bike.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, belched forth and ejected the following:

Doing well..

I'd like to know too. Sounds like you're keen.

Shit, if only there'd been an 'and' in that sentence.

Don't sob, just buy a bike with more poke (amon)[1]

You don't really understand torque and power, do you?

Well clearly one of us doesn't understand that a more powerful engine
also generates more torque. Which of us is it, do you think?

A more *powerful* engine might not, actually.

Let's create an example assuming a high reving short stroke sportsbike
engine vs a slower reving long stroke engine, different torque figures,
and different redlines because of the overall mass of engine parts
flying around.

First the sportsbike
68 ft/lb @ 14000 RPM = 181.26 BHP

Then the torquier engine with a longer stroke
78 ft/lb @ 8500 RPM = 126.24 BHP

Clearly the engine with the lower torque is the more powerful, because
it's capable of reving higher.

 

Clearly one of you has never looked at the torque curve for a litre
sports bike.

 

Well quite. Anyway if the torque is measured at the output shaft, geared
down, doesn't high bhp x high revs equate to high torque by definition?
or does BMEP have to be considered

 

"Repeat after me. It is better to make torque at high rpm than at low
rpm, because you can take advantage of *gearing*."

Bruce Augenstein

I would, however, add the caveat that torque available at lower revs may
make a bike 'easier' to ride, particularly in slippery conditions.
Ultimately the more powerful machine will have an advantage, but say
coming out of a hairpin with water, mud and wet leaves on the tarmac it
will take a true riding god to apply all that torque to the road, as the
moment traction is lost the revs will soar and so will the power and
torque in a potentially uncontrollable 'spike'.

Higher torque but lower revs in direct proportion so the power remains
the same, less gearbox losses.

BMEP is related to torque and capacity; revs don't come into it.

 

Bzzzt.

Not necessarily true: if you can wring, say, 10% more revs out ov a
given engine but manage to keep the torque the same as before then
your engine is 10% more powerful. This assumes that the engine makes
peak power at peak revs.

In practice the torque curve will usually already be falling off, but
as long as the rev rise exceeds the torque drop the you'll still get
more power, until the rods exit the crankcase, of course.
