Do Motorcycles Burn Engine Oil?

[Vickie]

Motorcycles can burn engine oil, which is indicated by blue exhaust smoke emitted from the tailpipe while riding. This means excessive engine oil is entering the combustion chamber and being burned. Consequences of Burning Engine Oil: It leads to incomplete combustion of gases in the engine's combustion chamber, resulting in increased carbon deposits, reduced vehicle power performance, and sluggish acceleration. This also increases fuel consumption, worsens exhaust emissions (potentially exceeding standards), and places a heavier economic burden on the owner. Solutions for Burning Engine Oil: Conduct a thorough inspection of the entire engine oil lubrication system, remove accumulated carbon deposits from combustion, ensure smooth operation of intake and exhaust valves, and replace aged or damaged valve seals and crankshaft seals. Additionally, reduce the gap between engine cylinder walls to maintain optimal engine temperature.
