How many kilometers should a motorcycle go before cleaning carbon deposits?

Under normal circumstances, carbon deposits in motorcycles do not require special cleaning. With usage, carbon deposits will be expelled through the exhaust, and engine oil also has a certain ability to clean carbon deposits. Generally, unless there are issues like burning oil or poor combustion, carbon deposits will not accumulate excessively. If the motorcycle operates without any abnormalities, there is no need to worry about it. Effects of carbon deposits: If there is a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine, it will affect the engine's performance. The most direct manifestations are increased engine vibration, higher fuel consumption, and reduced power. The main reasons for these issues are directly related to carbon deposits affecting the engine's heat dissipation, altering the ignition timing, and disrupting the engine's combustion state. Introduction to carbon deposits: These byproducts produced during the combustion process in a motorcycle engine are partially expelled through the exhaust pipe under the powerful impact of the piston. However, some stubborn residues will gradually settle in the combustion chamber and, over time, turn into what is known as carbon deposits.
