		+	The purpose of this project was to reinforce key skills that we have learned throughout our engineering careers here at the University at Buffalo. The project helped us showcase our technical writing skills, improve group work skills and help us make decisions engineers make every day. We were part of a project design team and our objective was to take a product, disassemble it, and investigate various aspects of its design and manufacturing techniques used to engineer the product. A Request for Proposal, Preliminary Project Review, Coordination Review, Critical Project Review and Delivery were the five deliverables for the project. We had to prepare a work and management proposal which outlined our plan for the project. Next, we had to dissect our product and submit a Causes for Corrective Action plan which highlighted any difficulties we encountered during the dissection. Next, we were asked to submit a Component Summary and construct solid models of our product. We conducted a Critical Project Review consisting of a Product Reassembly Plan and reassembled our product. The final step of the project was the Deliver where we completed minor revisions on all of our technical documents and submitted a final version of our report.

		+	*599 CC Honda Engine.
		+	*The engine was not functional when we received it, therefore, we could not test it.
		+	*We focused on analyzing the transmission instead of the entire engine.
		+	*The transmission functioned very well and we were able to observe and understand gear-shifting after dissecting our product.

	::We are only analyzing the back wheel because it is the only one that produces torque for the motorcycle to move forward. This allowed us to calculate the centripetal force generated by the wheel. This force is then transferred to the transmission and results in the breakage of gears as analyzed in this problem. We assumed there was a 50-50 weight distribution of the motorcycle on each wheel. This means that with the assumed 200kg of the motorcycle, each wheel had a mass of 100kg. I assumed that the motorcycle stops instantly which allows me to not have to calculate the frictional force that exists not just between the wheel and the surface, but also between the wheel and the chain system and the chain and transmission system. We picked a radius and velocity that would be reasonable with the radius and velocity of the motorcycle at some arbitrary time. Another assumption we made was that the wheel-chain-transmission system is lubricated very well and so therefore there is no heat generated by the grinding of the gears and chain. This allowed us to calculate only the force generated by the stopping of the wheel.		::We are only analyzing the back wheel because it is the only one that produces torque for the motorcycle to move forward.

 For problems we will face in the future, we will need to find quick ways to resolve them without putting a delay on the other processes outlined in our Gantt chart. One problem that we may face is that the reassembly process may take longer than we expect. This is due to the fact that there are many different size screws and parts to the engine. To resolve this issue, we will extend our meetings to accommodate enough time to reassemble the engine. The notes and pictures that we have taken during the disassembly procedure will help guide us to correctly pull together the engine. Also, with scheduling conflicts and exams, some group members will not be able to attend all the meetings. The group members that are available will meet and keep the other members updated through e-mails. Since there is limited space in the lab and an excess of groups working at once, some small parts such as screws, nuts and bolts may have been misplaced during the dissection process. The Technical Expert of our group, Jonathan Burkhart will be responsible for documenting any missing parts. Our Communication Liaison, David Holewka will contact Phil Cormier or Erich Devendorf and inform them of any missing parts.

 Some alternatives to this product are electric motors and hybrid motors. Electric motors are more expensive to purchase but are cheaper to operate. Hybrid motors are also more expensive than our current engine and are also cheaper to operate and maintain. However, our product is less expensive, outputs more power to the drive train and is much more universal for a mechanic to work on.
