GM files patent application for a ‘clutch-by-wire’ system | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

The cost thing is spot on as well, and compounds my annoyance. These “features” that I don’t want or need in the first place are also prone to failure and cost a lot of money to fix.

In a traditional application for a hydraulic clutch system, a clutch pedal is mounted to the firewall with the clutch master cylinder directly in front of it. A hydraulic line extends from this master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder, which is mounted on the transmission in order to actuate the clutch.

This is the display screen for the Compu-Shift II 4L60E controller from HGM Automotive Electronics. This is just one of a dozen displays, and you don’t need a laptop to make changes. The display shows we were running at 62 m.p.h. at 2,157 rpm in 4th gear (A4), the transmission temperature was 189 degrees and the torque converter clutch (TCC) was engaged. The battery voltage was 13.1 volts and the transmission was currently delivering 42 percent of full line pressure (PRB).

12. Side-laced wire-spoke wheels are more than up to the task of riding off-road. Triumph doesn’t report this machine’s running weight; instead, we’re left with the meaningless “dry” weight of 456 pounds. With fluids and fuel, you’re looking at a bike knocking on the door of 500 pounds—perhaps even more. It’s a lot of motorcycle to be chucking around in the dirt, and those wheels are going to live a hard life. Thankfully, the aluminum rims survived my line choices philosophy, which follows a strict rule of “Hmm, too late now.”

WhisperPower and Torqeedo have collaborated to develop a generator specifically designed as a back-up battery charger for vessels equipped with a Deep Blue Hybrid electric propulsion system.

14. Upright and comfortable, the Scrambler can be ridden all day. With a seat height just above 34 inches, the Scrambler 1200 XE isn’t the shortest bike on the road. However, the narrow chassis allowed my 32-inseam to plant the balls of my feet on the ground nicely. Standing or sitting, the reach to the grips is spot-on for me. Should you wish to adjust it, you’ll have the ability to do so as well. The bench seat is comfortable, and the foot controls didn’t cause excessive knee-bend.

Not trying to refute anything said here, after all, I’ve had my own bad experience with ABS on glare ice (which is really harder to see than ‘black ice.’) I do know that in the case of systems like Electronic Stability Control (or whatever a given brand calls it), you do have the ability to turn it off under certain conditions… usually at speeds below 35mph, though. As such, is there anything in your owners’ manual that suggests the system can be turned off temporarily?

(6) Suzuki RM-Z450. There is something to love about the RM-Z450 powerband. It picks up cleanly off the bottom and has almost perfect midrange power placement. The problem? It doesn’t make comparable horsepower to the other five bikes in this shootout. And when it comes to top-end power, it’s batting zero. Its 54.39 horsepower at peak is almost 6 horses less than the class leader, and it goes flat at 8800 rpm. Even where we liked its power (low-end and midrange), it makes the least power.

The move however didn’t make the truck more efficient but turned it into a money pit. The truck became an oil burner and also had issues with head bolts. Apart from the earlier mentioned problems, this trucks also came with issues such as high compression ratio, lifted cylinder heads and weak torque.
