The Two Stroke Engine You Never Knew About 

FYI: Yamaha was the first 2-stroke manufacturer to win the GP title in the premier class (this video would have you believe it was Suzuki). FYI: Walter Kaaden's (NOT "Walter Cotton" as shown in the chapter header) big contribution to the 2-stroke technology was the expansion chamber exhaust system (a way to circumvent the rules against supercharging, by using energy in exhaust gas pulses to induct above atmospheric pressure air into the cylinder - different technically, but similar conceptually to turbocharging). FYI: MotoGP didn't start until 2002; prior to that it was called Motorcycle Grand Prix racing. The GP series started in 1949, and consisted of 5 classes (later expanded to 6 classes, then reduced to 5 again, later reduced to 4, then finally reduced to 3 classes). FYI: The "dustbin" fairing shown @3:37 was pioneered by the Italian manufacturers, widely adopted in the mid 1950's, and subsequently banned in 1958. To this day, enclosed front wheel fairings are not allowed in motorcycle GP racing.

Who in hells name wrote the script for this one because they certainly have not done accurate research far too many factual errors

7:58 "So what did he do? He made a daring decision to defect" 😄 Get these LLMs in check...

Just read the book... 'Stealing Speed' by Mat Oxley.... That's the proper story.

T20 was conventional and there was NO reed valves ,the later X 7 had them though.

Started to watch this gave up after a few minutes the compiler obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. 😢

Two stroke bikes weren't invented in E, Germany. You might want to look at Scott and the Squirrel. Have a look at Jawa too. They were arguably the most innovative of the eastern block manufacturers. It's fascinating how much industrial espionage went on and still is.

one thing this video didn't cover on Suzuki success , they never raced the same bike, they tweaked and developed the bike after each race. Other manufacture kept the same bike for the season, Suzuki constantly developed and improved their bike, even if they won the race...

Yes, too many errors! I had a second hand Suzuki T250J in 1975. That followed the earlier T20. Reed valve? Don’t think so!! Good bike though.

Japan is “the west” is it?

In 1996 . I think you mean 1965 to1968 . Also moto GP has only ever been 4 stroke grand prix racing was originally dominated by 4 strokes too and two strokes took over in the late 60s Early 70s . All the dodgy facts in the first 1 min 38 seconds of the video are the reason I will watch no further.

isle of man double t? why u say it like that lol

This is drivel...

the Double T?? give me a break - get off the AI programs for RU-vid production!

Another half truth video.. Please do more research before publishing

With unpredictable wondering fails wrong Engine in a bucket frame modern day catching on fire ect ..Suzuki 👎👎
