What Causes White Smoke from a Motorcycle Engine?
1 Answers
Motorcycles emitting white smoke is caused by the engine burning oil. Here are specific explanations about oil burning: 1. Hazards: Long-term oil burning will reduce engine oil volume, deteriorate the lubrication system, increase wear, and decrease cooling effectiveness, making the engine prone to overheating. The cleaning effect of oil on the engine will also worsen. 2. Inspection: Regularly check the engine oil level. After the vehicle has been stopped for a while, pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean with a tissue, reinsert it, then pull it out again. The level should be between MIN and MAX to be normal; after starting, observe whether the exhaust emits blue smoke and check if there is any blue oil residue in the exhaust pipe.
