Re: Track T-800 CDI
Andreis, do you happen to know why diesal engines are much heavier? The engine in the Track bike there weighs 45-50 kg' apparently (not sure how comprable that would be to a similar capacity engine though)
Is it because engine parts have to be beefier to withstand the much higher compression rations (18:1 in that diesal engine, cf around 10:1 for a typical motorcycle petrol engine)?
Maybe someone else can shed some light on that?
