Abstract
The motorcycle frame is made to support loads such as the engine, rider, and other supporting devices. The motorcycle frame must have strength, rigidity, and light weight and is expected to withstand certain conditions. The frame of a motorcycle functions as a support for the weight of the vehicle, rider, engines, and other loads. In motor racing, a good rigidity frame is needed because it is constantly subjected to compressive and twisting forces when maneuvering. Generally, the frame is made of steel to support the engine and rider. In this study, carbon fiber will be applied to the critical zones of the vehicle so that the frame remains rigid or rigid when driving. Research is done with the processing system to find the best configuration to be applied. The author modeled the motorcycle frame and applied TC35-12K-Epoxy Carbon Fiber to the Y125Z Motorcycle Frame using the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Method. The Y125Z motorcycle was used as the object of research with a 124.3 cc cubication specification, a two-stroke engine with air conditioning and combined with 6 manual transmissions. Power reaches 17.2 HP at 8,000 rpm, and a torque of 16.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm.
