Can You Use Water to Cool Down an Overheated Motorcycle Engine?

[AshlynLynn]

In theory, it is not advisable. Most motorcycles are air-cooled. However, in practice, spraying water can temporarily lower the temperature, but it may cause minor issues like difficulty starting the engine. Reasons for the engine getting hot: The engine is a high-temperature component, with intense combustion occurring inside the cylinder, much like a boiler. When there's fire (or explosions) inside, the exterior naturally becomes very hot. After just a few minutes of operation or riding one or two kilometers, the engine will become very hot to the touch, which is a normal phenomenon. No need to worry excessively about the engine getting hot: As long as the engine oil is at normal levels, the oil pump and oil passages are functioning properly, there is no abnormal friction (which would produce unusual noises), the riding and operation methods are correct and appropriate, and there is no overloading or excessive strain on the engine, there should be no issues.
