What Are the Hazards of Motorcycle Lugging?

[LeDaniela]

Motorcycle lugging can cause significant harm to the engine, such as increased wear on components like the cylinder piston, timing chain and other accessory system parts, clutch, and gear shift fork. It should be avoided as much as possible. Low Gear High Lug: This can cause the engine to operate at excessively high RPMs. Each engine has its specific RPM-power characteristics, and once it exceeds the optimal operating range, fuel consumption will sharply increase. Additionally, ultra-high-speed operation puts excessive pressure on engine components. High Gear Low Lug: Firstly, it can easily cause stalling. Under such conditions, the engine may operate near the critical RPM, making stalling more likely. Secondly, when the engine RPM is too low, it will exhibit weak power output (determined by the power-RPM characteristics), resulting in sluggish acceleration.
