Transmission Battle

Which do you prefer to use, a manual transmission or an automatic transmission motorcycle? Which is better between the two types of transmission? What are the benefits that you would get in these types of transmission? Lets start with what is the difference between these transmissions.

Manual transmission is the transmission that uses a driver-operated clutch engaged and dis-engaged by hand lever, for regulating the torque transfer from the engine to the transmission and a gear selector operated by foot. You are maybe familiar with these kind of transmission as you can see a lot of this type of motorcycle operating in the high ways. In terms of operation, the manual transmission is a little bit hard than the automatic, requiring for some practice and training to learn how to shift gears.

Automatic transmission is a type of motor vehicle transmission in which as the vehicle moves gear ratios is automatically change, giving the rider to tide more convenient without having to shift manually. Normally operated with a belt and torque drive placed inside a crankcase and gears are installed just near the rear wheel. In terms of operation, automatic it so much easier that manual operation. Just like a operation of Squeeze-and-Go.

You can notice that if you go for a bike in a dealer the cost of manual compared to automatic really vary a little cheaper. Thinking on how much you can save in buying manual transmission rather than automatic. Same way when it comes with the maintenance. Even your mechanic wii tell you that its much easier to repair a manually transmission motorcycle. The cost of the repair and parts are also much cheaper than parts from automatic motorcycle. MT( manual transmission ) can travel for long distance without any problem, just need to change your oil and have a check up for you engine.

Learning to drive a motorcycle is easy specially with automatic transmission but there are some reasons that MT is much better than AT. When you stop in an intersection and you are driving a manual transmission you will just need to change your gear to normal and wait for the green light, while when it comes with AT you will need to hold your brakes while waiting with the green light. Holding your brakes will ensure a safety for you. Another is that there is a special feature for a manual transmission that an automatic transmission don't have. An engine break or the third break for the manual transmission. This is a great feature that really add a safety for the rider, specially for the time that there are emergencies that we don't expect.

It is your choice on what will be the transmission system you will choose. Each have benefits for you but in different way. But always be sure when buying a motorcycle is to make sure that you prioritize your safety and convenient.
