What Causes High Temperature in Motorcycle Engines?

[GageFitz]

Motorcycle engine overheating causes: The engine overheats due to prolonged overload or operation at high power. The engine overheats due to poor heat dissipation. Engine overheating cooling methods: Water cooling is a more effective cooling method. The principle of water cooling is to reduce temperature by flowing water surrounding the cylinder liner and cylinder head. However, this cannot be generalized. The advantage of water cooling lies in its effective heat dissipation for high-power and high-speed engines. But the disadvantages are also obvious: it requires the installation of a radiator, has a complex structure with high costs, and a high failure rate. Oil cooling: Oil cooling provides more stable heat dissipation effects. Oil cooling utilizes the motorcycle's own engine oil to dissipate heat through an oil cooler (the oil cooler and radiator are essentially the same in principle, except one contains oil and the other water), as the circulation power for oil cooling comes from the engine's oil pump.
