The timing belt is primarily used in engines to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. In many modern motorcycles, the timing belt is made from rubber and reinforced with fiberglass or Kevlar for added strength. Since the timing belt is critical to engine performance, it must be replaced at regular intervals as per the manufacturer’s recommendation. A worn or broken timing belt can lead to serious engine damage.
