How long can a motorcycle with cylinder scoring still be ridden?

Motorcycle cylinder scoring can be repaired at professional repair shops. If the replaced parts are of good quality, under normal conditions, it can be ridden for more than two years. Engine cylinder scoring refers to obvious longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the inner wall of the cylinder within the movement range of the piston rings. In severe cases, adhesive wear may occur, causing difficulties in starting the engine or spontaneous stalling. Cylinder scoring is a major engine failure. When repairing motorcycle cylinder scoring, corresponding parts need to be replaced based on the extent of damage. Typically, after cylinder scoring occurs in a motorcycle, it is necessary to replace components such as the cylinder block, piston, piston rings, circlips, pins, gaskets, valve oil seals, and related parts. Methods to prevent cylinder scoring: Maintain the coolant at a normal temperature of 70°C-95°C to avoid engine overheating. Preheating measures should be taken before starting in winter; Operate and use the engine properly, avoid overloading, avoid revving the throttle unnecessarily, and avoid starting without sufficient coolant; Strengthen the maintenance of the air filter to prevent dust from being sucked into the cylinder; Maintain the lubrication system properly to prevent mechanical impurities and carbon deposits from mixing into the oil and exacerbating cylinder liner wear.
