Can a Motorcycle Engine Blow Up from Riding Too Fast?

[AdelynLee]

Motorcycle riding too fast may potentially cause engine seizure, but it generally does not happen. Causes of motorcycle engine seizure: Motorcycle "engine seizure" is usually caused by poor lubrication, excessive load, or engine overheating. If the riding speed is too high and sustained for too long or the load is excessive, there is a possibility of "engine seizure." However, as long as the speed is not sustained for too long and the engine oil lubrication is normal, there should be no issues. That said, high-speed riding causes significant wear to the engine, and frequent high-speed riding will inevitably shorten its normal lifespan. Precautions for long-distance riding: For example, regularly maintain the motorcycle using high-quality lubricating oil. Additionally, for safety reasons, the rider must take appropriate breaks. Under normal circumstances, after about three hours of riding, a break of half an hour or a quarter of an hour should be taken.
