Do EFI Motorcycles Experience Altitude Sickness?

[TuckerRose]

At an average altitude of 4,000 meters, any vehicle will experience altitude sickness when driving in high-altitude areas, similar to human altitude sickness. Both need to breathe and will feel discomfort due to the reduced oxygen levels caused by lower air pressure. For humans experiencing altitude sickness, the most important measures are to avoid strenuous exercise, focus bodily functions on essential tasks, and take anti-altitude sickness medications to enhance resistance. However, for vehicles, avoiding strenuous activity is impossible. On the contrary, since off-road vehicles often travel to more challenging environments where intense activity is more frequent, a vehicle's ability to cope with altitude sickness better reflects its overall quality. Regardless of the vehicle type, reduced oxygen levels can lead to insufficient power, excessively high brake fluid temperature, overheating coolant, stalling, and other issues. Therefore, taking preventive measures in advance is undoubtedly the best choice.
