Can You Still Ride a Motorcycle After Engine Seizure?

[VonLandon]

If it's only a mild engine seizure without severe bonding, you can ride slowly after adding engine oil. However, in cases of severe engine seizure, the engine will lock up completely, making it impossible to ride even after adding oil. Below is a detailed introduction to motorcycle engine seizure: 1. Overview: Engine seizure occurs when the car's tachometer enters the red zone. Due to excessively high temperatures, the piston expands and gets stuck in the cylinder, leading to engine failure. In severe cases, when the pressure is too high and the piston cannot move, it may cause the vehicle's wheels to lock up, resulting in flames shooting out. 2. Cause of Failure: The failure occurs because the piston lacks sufficient oil cooling, causing it to overheat and expand, leading to it seizing in the cylinder (for example, when the piston and cylinder bond together, it's called a seized engine).
