Motorcycles & Mopeds

Two wheeler (motorcycle, moped) manufacturers face increasing competitive pressures and customer demands for better performance. Maintaining a competitive edge requires continuous improvements on power delivered coupled with fuel efficiency, cost reductions, and product enhancement through new features. Higher power can be met with compact and light weight engines, using innovative design concepts and new material solutions.

Stanyl® is the leading material for new innovations that improve performance and reduce system costs.
Stanyl enables metal to be replaced with plastic components that can be smaller and lighter, and generate less noise. Replacing metal parts with plastic components can reduce costs significantly, due to the benefits of plastic parts processing compared to metal processes, the reduction in handling and manufacturing steps, as well as the integration of multiple metal components and different functionalities into a single plastic part. Stanyl has been successfully used in motorcycle applications including:

• Gears – oil pump gears, balancer gears
• Sprockets – wheel drive 75 cc engine, clutch drive, timing cam shaft drive
• CVT – friction rollers and spacers
• Timing parts – single piece chain guides on tensioner side.
• Electrical components such as starter clutch dampeners, high durability horn pads, brush holders, magneto bobbins
