Carburetors

Carburettors are important components in motorbikes that produce the air-fuel mixture for the combustion process in the engine.

They work according to the principle of pressure difference, in which air is accelerated by the Venturi effect and fuel is drawn in from the nozzle. The precise tuning of the carburettor is decisive for the performance and efficiency of the engine.

There are different types of carburettors, including constant pressure and slide carburettors.

However, modern motorbikes are increasingly using fuel injection systems as these are more precise and environmentally friendly. Despite their declining popularity, carburettors remain a fascinating technology in motorbike history.
