What is the automatic transmission on a motorcycle?

An automatic transmission on a motorcycle is a type of transmission that shifts gears automatically, without the need for the rider to manually engage a clutch or shift gears. This allows the motorider to focus on other aspects of riding, such as controlling speed, steering, and braking, without the added complexity of shifting gears.
Automatic motorcycle transmissions can use a variety of different mechanisms to shift gears, including hydraulic systems, electric motors, and continuously variable transmissions CVTs. In general, these systems work by using a series of sensors and control modules to monitor the rider´s inputs and the current operating conditions of the motorcycle, and then shifting gears automatically based on this information.
Some automatic motorcycle transmissions also allow the rider to manually select gears, using either a paddle shifter or a switch on the handlebars. This can give the rider more control over the motorcycles performance and allow for a more engaging riding experience, while still retaining the convenience and ease of an automatic transmission.
One potential advantage of an automatic motorcycle transmission is that it can make riding more accessible to new or less experienced riders, who may find manual transmissions more challenging to operate. Automatic transmissions can also be beneficial for riders who have physical limitations that make it difficult to operate a clutch or shift gears.
However, some riders prefer the more direct and engaging experience of a manual transmission, which allows them to have more control over the motorcycles power delivery and performance. As a result, automatic transmissions for motorcycles remain relatively uncommon, but they are becoming more widely available as technology continues to improve.
The pieces of a motorcycle transmission can vary depending on the specific type and design of the transmission, but in general, a motorcycle transmission consists of the following key components:

Gears: The gears are the heart of the motorcycle transmission, and are responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the rear wheel. They are typically made of hardened steel or other durable materials, and are arranged in a series of concentric shafts that allow the rider to shift gears manually or automatically.
Input shaft: The input shaft is the shaft that connects the transmission to the engine output shaft. It rotates at the same speed as the engine, and transmits power to the transmission gears.
Output shaft: The output shaft is the shaft that connects the transmission to the rear wheel. It rotates at a different speed than the input shaft, depending on the selected gear ratio, and transmits power to the rear wheel through a chain or belt drive.
Shift drum or shift forks: The shift drum or shift forks are responsible for engaging and disengaging the transmission gears. When the rider shifts gears, the shift drum or forks move the gears into the correct position to engage the next gear ratio.
Clutch: The clutch is a mechanism that allows the rider to temporarily disengage the transmission from the engine, enabling the rider to shift gears or come to a stop without stalling the engine. It typically consists of a set of plates that are pressed together by a spring or hydraulic mechanism, and can be activated by pulling in the clutch lever on the handlebars.
Bearings and seals: Bearings and seals are used to support and protect the various shafts and components of the transmission. They help to reduce friction and wear, and keep the transmission lubricated and free of contaminants.
Overall, the pieces of a motorcycle transmission work together to transfer power from the engine to the rear wheel, allowing the rider to control the speed and performance of the motorcycle. Regular maintenance and inspection of the transmission components can help ensure optimal performance and longevity of the motorcycle. The brands that offer the clutch reservoir are Rizoma, Sw motech, Polisport, Rtech, and UFO.
