Скачать или смотреть Bike / Scooter Summer Maintenance & Servicing Tips | Motorcycle Engine Overheating Problem In Summer

Overheating is a common problem during summer in motorcycle / scooty / bike. Motorcycle (bike) & Scooty (scooter) Engine overheating is a very common problem during summer season. Overheating of a motorcycle (bike) and scooty (scooter) engine is a very big problem. To prevent a motorcycle engine from overheating, you will need to keep up with basic maintenance of the motorcycle such as regular oil changes and having proper coolant levels (for water cooled motorcycles). Make sure the idle screw on the carburetor is at a decent spot so the motorcycle does not maintain a high idle.

If you are wondering why your bike's engine overheats in a short ride then you will get the answer in this video. Always keep your engine oil at check to overcome engine overheating. Low engine oil will lead to inadequate cooling of the engine. Engine oil must be changed at correct intervals for a healthy engine life.

If your feeling your motorcycles engine heating at your foot, there can be a major issue inside the engine. Sometimes it is normal for the new bike's engine to overheat but if the bike is old, is is a big issue.

CAUSES AND WAYS TO PREVENT IT

Initial start: When you crank up your motorcycle to leave for work everyday, please do not over rev the motorcycle as soon as you start it. Keep the engine at idle for a few minutes and let the engine oil do its job. This process is called engine warm up and doing this will keep your motorcycle’s engine healthy.

Carburetor setting: The mixture of air and fuel entering the engine cylinder must be correct in order to overcome overheating of the motorcycle. If air/fuel mixture entering the engine is lean then there are chances of your engine overheating. So setting the carb to give a perfect mixture is really important.

Engine oil check: Always keep your engine oil at check to overcome engine overheating. Low engine oil will lead to inadequate cooling of the engine. Engine oil must be changed at correct intervals for a healthy engine life.

Coolant check: Liquid cooled motorcycles come with a radiator setup which circulates the coolant inside the engine to cool the engine effectively. Proper coolant capacity and a perfect mix of the coolant with distilled water makes way for efficient cooling.

Faulty radiators and radiator fan: Radiator is a part which circulates coolant into the engine. The coolant when circulated, carries all the heat. If the radiator is covered with dust and waste particles, the heat dissipation will not be complete and the coolant will not cool enough to enter the engine again. Keeping the fins of the radiator clean is a very important part to aid for better cooling.
Radiator fans are used to cool down the coolant in the radiator when the motorcycle is stand still and the coolant temperature exceeds. Improper functioning of the fan leads to consequences.

Coolant leak: Make sure the coolant level is correct at all times. If the level of coolant is below the recommended level, immediately top it up by adding distilled water to avoid heating problems. Fix the leak, if any and continue riding.

Riding at high speeds for a long time: Riding at high speeds for a long time means keeping the engine revving high. Revving the engine high for a long time will keep the pistons moving and the combustion of fuel takes place without a break. Its best to stop the engine and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes and carry on while taking break intervals thereafter.
