CrazyEngineers Forum

Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

My question to the team is :- As a professional racing team what measures do you take to win a race? I mean all the home work about the other team, the circuit etc. What do you do keep yourself 2 steps ahead of everyone before the race starts?

Default Re: Ask questions to Kawasaki Motorcycle Engineering/Racing Team!

My next question :- This may sound stupid but i always wanted to ask this question. There are many professional racing teams in the GP that have a lot of experience, but i have seen that sometimes one team completely dominates the season. What are the reasons of this? The other teams are not fools. What is the factor that influences this dominance the most, is it the driver, the engineers, the support crew etc. Everyone is important i know but what is the most important?

What strategies will their team be using to assist Team Kawasaki in improving in manufactures points in moto gp this season?

What developments does Mr. Kaneko see working into production motorcycles in the next 5-10 years? Does he invision traction control on production machines?

(and thank you to MayurPathak!)

Tell us about the New ZX-10R? What are the major changes from the 2003 and 2005 models?

With ZX-R10 Kawasaki had expectations to win the best superbike prize(as read in some auto magazines). The 2003 model was beaten by Suzuki's GSX-R1000 and in 2005 Honda Fireblade was leading the pack. What are the expectations of Honda from the 2008 model? What were the challenges faced to upgrade a superbike to even higher standards?

For those who may not know, please discuss the technical diferential details between moto gp racing bikes and superbike/supersport bikes?

How did you get involved with moto gp racing?

Unfortunately, that's the sad story. We didn't receive good response to our "Ask questions to CTO of Wikipedia" thread either

CEans! Wake Up!

You WON'T get such opportunities elsewhere!
