DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TRAINERS HONDA BEAT MOTORCYCLE

Abstract

The development of automotive technology demands the availability of relevant and applicable learning media, especially in understanding motorcycle electrical systems. This study aims to develop a Honda Beat motorcycle electrical trainer as a practical medium for Mechanical Engineering students. The method used is the research and development method (R&D) to produce learning aids that suit the needs of practical learning. This trainer integrates the main motorcycle electrical systems, such as ignition, starter, lighting, and signals. Test results show that all components function properly and the system voltage is in the range of ±12 volts. Validation against several previous studies shows that this trainer is in accordance with the technical specifications of the Honda Beat motorcycle and is suitable for use in automotive engineering learning. Thus, this trainer can increase the effectiveness of the practical learning process of electrical systems in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
