What is the maximum temperature of a motorcycle exhaust pipe?
1 Answers
The highest temperature point of a motorcycle exhaust pipe can reach over 500°C. Normally, the temperature gradually decreases from the front section to the rear end of the exhaust pipe (300-150°C). Location of the motorcycle exhaust pipe: The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, creating a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. This serves to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Source of heat in the motorcycle exhaust pipe: During engine operation, the high-speed movement of piston rings and gears generates significant friction. A large amount of hot gas produced is expelled through the exhaust pipe, and the heat in the exhaust pipe is gradually increased during this continuous process of transporting hot gas. The temperature of a motorcycle exhaust pipe depends on the specific part, road conditions, and riding gear. The thinner front pipe has a higher temperature, with areas closer to the engine reaching about 300°C. The kick-start area is around 150°C, while thicker sections have lower temperatures, with the rear part at approximately 80°C. When riding on mountain roads, especially in 1st or 2nd gear with engine RPM reaching 5500, the exhaust pipe near the engine may glow red, indicating a temperature of about 800°C. In such conditions, the kick-start area temperature can reach at least 300°C.
