1. ANTI DIVE SYSTEM – A system installed with some brakes that uses front fork damping and the front brake assembly to prevent excessive fork compression and to improve handling when brakes are applied.
2. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION – A transmission not using a manually operated clutch.
3. AXLE – A shaft used to support a part or parts across the frame or forks. e.g., front and rear axles.
4. BACK BONE FRAME – Frame which uses the engine as a structural member for load carrying.
5. BEAD – The portion of the tyre which holds it onto the rim.
6. BRAKE CALIPER – Part of a disc brake which holds friction pads and encloses disc. As the brake is applied, hydraulic fluid forces a piston in caliper towards disc, causing disc to be pinched between brake pads.
7. BRAKE DISC – A round, flat disc made of steel or cast iron. It is mountedon outside of wheel hub.
8. BRAKE FADE – Loss of braking power, usually caused by excessive heat after repeated brake applications.
9. BRAKE LINE – Special hydraulic tubing made of steel, plastic or reinforced rubber. Hydraulic lines must be capable of withstanding extreme pressure without deforming.
10. DIRECT DRIVE GEARBOX – Power is transmitted from clutch to input shaft (main shaft), to layshaft, to high gear pinion, which has output sprocket mounted on it.
