What are the reasons for insufficient power and slow speed in motorcycles?
1 Answers
Insufficient power and slow speed in motorcycles are usually caused by damaged cylinder head gaskets leading to air leakage, or throttle levers failing to return to position after being opened. Below are extended methods for inspecting and repairing motorcycles with insufficient power: 1. Check the air filter: Mainly inspect whether the filter element is clean. If it is covered with dust, wash it with soapy water, dry it, and reinstall it. 2. Check whether the cylinder pressure is normal: Unscrew the spark plug, press your thumb firmly over the spark plug hole, and then step on the kick starter. If you cannot hold the pressure, it is normal. If no air is expelled when pressed, there is air leakage in the cylinder or combustion chamber.
