Draining the oil when you store it is basically THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO. Replace it with fresh oil, then store it. Everything that's covered in oil, can't rust. If you're storing for a very long time (think several years) fill up the engine to the brim before putting it away. Otherwise you risk getting rust pitting in the cams, valvestems and more. Just remember to drain the excess oil and clean everything before starting it again.

@tscook10 2 года назад

If you're forced to ride with too low of an octane fuel, you should actually keep the revs up and the throttle (and thus load) low. Preignition is most likely to happen at low engine speeds and high load, so you should avoid that operating condition. This is because low engine speed creates more time during compression, before the spark fires, providing more time for the fuel air mix to heat up and potentially pre-ignite. High load also creates higher pressures, density and internal temperatures, adding to the preignition potential.

@xeridea Год назад

On modern engines, low octane isn't as much of a problem. They have knock sensors detect preignition and loosen spark timing, reducing preignition at the cost of power. Still best to run premium if it needs it though.

@pviljams 2 года назад

Warm up recommendation only applies to warming it up before higher loads. Most motorcycles, especially newer ones, will have a recommendation in their service manuals not to warm it up before ride as it might increase buildup of different sorts and rather drive it off without stressing it. Just my two cents.

@MH-cv5ye 2 года назад

I always ride low revs in startup, it's a waste of fuel sitting, waiting for warmup.

@233kosta 2 года назад

Additionally, pressures are pretty low when idling, which means your piston rings don't seal quite as well as when you're under even a little bit of power. If you didn't break your engine in correctly (and let's face it - even if you did) that'll lead to oil dilution. The reason is two-fold. On top of the poor seal, your bike also runs rich while it's cold to make up for fuel condensing on the cylinder walls. That leaves a ready supply of liquid fuel in the best location to get past the rings and mix with your oil. No es bueno! Let's be clear, you'll get that when the engine is cold regardless, but if you're just sitting there idling you get much more of it and the engine warms up slower. Fortunately, modern engines have a neat way of getting rid of oil dilution - crankcase ventilation. Basically, once your oil is up to temperature, it's hot enough to evaporate all the fuel, which in turn gets sucked into the intake and burnt away in the cylinder. But that only works when your engine gets hot and it takes a while to evaporate all of it. This is why when you open the oil filler cap on an engine (car or bike) that's only used for short periods it smells of fuel. It's not supposed to, but it never gets the chance to get rid of that fuel. If the problem is serious enough, you'll notice the oil level rising over time. If you do, and you take regular long-ish trips (oil stays hot for at least 30 minutes), then there's another problem which must be addressed. In the meantime you ought to reduce your oil change interval to half or a quarter of the manufacturer's recommendation, else the dilution can cause engine damage.

AND contrary to popular belief and the labels on the products in question, you most certainly CAN invent problems "over-dosing" with those ethanol treatment chemicals on your bike. It can cause shellacking in the tank and fuel system all the way through (which is actually easier to deal with in a carburetor) and it DOES deteriorate over time... reducing volatility and "fire power" you get for the fuel. ;o)

Running up to redline occasionally isn't necessarily a bad thing. I run my current car up to 8k+ fairly frequently. It has over 200k miles on it and it doesn't use any measurable amount of oil. I once had another car with a very similar engine that had half as many miles and burned almost as much oil as gas. It was owned by an elderly couple that drove it like they were driving Ms Daisy. They sold it to a 20 year old who revved it like it was designed to be and wiped out the oil rings because the Pistons actually travel a bit further at high rpm. Manufacturers put the redline where they do for a reason and they take valve float into account.

@@christianjohnsen105 It's possible... JUST A LOT more trouble than it might be worth.

You'll still have to be aware of issues like cold tires and ride gently, but it's still do-able...

6:40 (German) I only put Premium fluids in my vehicles, my cars engine had to be dropped out arround the 160k km mark, due to the timing chain making funny noises. They also checked for carbon buildup and wear on other internal engine parts, since it was already out. The engine looked like new and had only a little carbon on the Air sensor, which buffled them, since cars with that distance usually are pretty plugged with carbon. My car also pulls better than my fathers, who got the LCI of mine, with a few moree HP.. He likes to go cheap and already got issues due to carbon buildup, with less km on it. There might be a lot more factors that should be considered, but for me it is sort of an indication, that their shit actually works.

Even before thw GSXR went to liquid cooling, Cycle World, for a torture test, had one run at WOT for 24 hours straight. After the 24 hours, the engine was torn down. There was no discernible wear whatsoever, even after screaming into redline for the whole time. And that was with the old air-and-oil cooled configuration.

Quickly repaired and back on the road, redline and all.

I idle my chainsaw to run out all of the fuel so it doesn't turn into 2 stroke varnish in the carburetor when it's stored for 3 years, but when storing my bike for 3-4 months for the winter, I fill the tank to prevent air in the tank from expanding and contracting with every daily thermal cycle, which sucks air into the fuel tank and condenses the water in that air. There is no need for fuel stabilizer for a few months of storage.

@Robnoxious77 2 года назад

I used to have a suzuki gsx250f with about 135,000 km on the clock. When I bounced it off the rev limiter at 16,500 rpm all it would do is blow a little smoke and misfire a bit. Tough as nails that old thing.

Ethanol is fine if you ride regularly. For storage it's better to use ethanol free gas but it still goes bad fairly quickly. Best for long term storage is to use the fuel from those metal cans they sell. That stuff stays good much longer. Check out project farm, he did some tests.

@mbpm6135 Год назад

During winter to keep the bike fresh, I just ride it for 60-90 minutes on 50mph roads once every 3-4 weeks. A matter of putting on extra warm clothes and duke it out until the bike's good and warm again. It has kept everything fresh that otherwise would rot during a 3 month storage and ensured my bike's always stayed fine in 15 years of riding. What also helps is a good fresh tank of fuel in the middle of winter to break up the season into 1 month intervals, so there's never any fuel going bad. Same with an oil change when due and chain lube.

Fort nine a great comparison on fuel stabilizers. They really did not do that much. He recommended winterizing with ethanol free gas.

Which makes sense. The whole point of stabilizer is because of the ethanol in fuel to begin with. If you use ethanol free gas, then there's no ethanol to need stabilizer for.

@randomcrap763 Год назад

I would add one more thing to do. 8) Wash your bike regularly. - I don't mean detail it like an obsessed Harley guy with a can of Chrome polish but a bucket of water and a sponge and a hose. The reason, is that by washing you actually will put your eyeballs on areas of the bike you don't normally see. It often can let you see a problem forming before it becomes a big problem (Loose bolts, oil leaks etc etc)

@natanpierce495 2 года назад

Your good! I just disagree with 2 things. Last tip- storing bike. Didn't say how long, but dry? I would never recommend storing a bike "dry". Without gas. sure, without brake fluid??? OK, I guess...but with out oil? Not a good idea. Especially for older vintage bikes. Seals will dry up. Seals and bearings will leak new gear oil like a sieve, making the engine useless to ride until you replace seals, o rings and bearings. Modifying the bike? Yes, it can shorten the life of a bike, but moderate modification can actually improve bike operation: Air filter, and exhaust. Air in....air out. Better spark plugs and suspension mods are good for better handling too, which if not crashing, will make the bike last linger. Good video.

@bradpoindexter Год назад

Yammie Noob, you have some stuff wrong. 1) when you do your valve clearance checks, it’s not the head gasket that you want to replace, it is the VALVE COVER GASKET. It would be insane (a lot of unnecessary time and money) to change a head gasket while checking valves. 2) it is not best to let your bike sit there idling to warmup. It is best to ride it right away after startup but with LIGHT engine load….meaning don’t lug it in too high of a gear, nor pin the throttle and have maximum combustion pressure. Ride immediately at 1/3 throttle opening or less and between 30% and 50% of redline. Be easy on it until the OIL TEMP is at 170 degrees. This will warmup the bike faster. A SLOW IDLING warmup increases how long it takes for the oengine to reach temp, which increases the amount of water vapor (which is a natural byproduct of combustion) that blows past the rings and dilutes the oil with water. Faster warmup is best, but be easy on it until it is up to temp. 3) running lean does not make the bike run hotter. When the bike makes the most power it is making the most heat (the burning fuel heats the intake air which expands the air and pushes the piston down). So when u get a bike dyno tuned for max torque and power at every rpm and every throttle position, it will make the most power and the most heat. Running either too rich OR too lean will cause reduced power AND reduced combustion heat. Ask private airplane pilots who have to manually adjust the fuel mixture as they fly at different altitudes (and thus air temperatures and air densities). The highest exhaust gas temp will be when the airplane has the perfect stoichiometric fuel mixture and is making the most power (like for take off). Once at cruising altitude, they will lean the mixture which reduces the EGT (exhaust gas temp), the engine runs cooler, with better fuel economy (but not as much power…but max power is not needed when at level cruise). All too often, motorcycle riders set up their Power Commanders too rich. What does this do? It makes less power and the excess fuel doesnt burn. The excess fuel washes oil from the cylinder walls which increases piston, ring, and cylinder wear. The rest of your video is spot on. FWIW, I’m a 62 year old retired mechanical engineer who has been riding, driving, flying, maintaining, and tuning motorcycles, cars, and single engine planes since I was 15 yrs old.

Yes I am not a fan of mods but I do think the ecu flash is good because it does correct the factory lean condition they do for emissions. They run too hot when fuel is so lean and also the fan doesn’t turn on soon enough to keep motor cool. I think the flash will actually make motor last longer. I don’t really care about the extra few horsepower I just don’t want my bike running hot and too lean and I want it running cool and those fans turning on before engine gets so hot

@billwiley7216 2 года назад

You do realize that the redline and even the factory rev limiter (which is usually above the redline) still actually have a certain amount or percentage of safe operating limits built into them right? Bikes leave the factory with this extra margin of safety built in so that the motors will not become hand grenades and need warranty replacements. Even most aftermarket CDI boxes allow the raising of the point where the rev limiter kicks in and raising it on most bikes by 1000-1500 rpms higher causes no engine issues on sport bikes anyway. Secret is knowing where the power and torque start dropping off in the rpm range on your particular engine as generally running the revs past that point gains nothing in performance. Another one that draining the oil for a winter storage is not the smartest, although changing the oil and filter before you put it away is a good idea. Also when you start your bike ALWAYS run it til it is at full operating temps to prevent creating condensation that does not get dried up before you shut the bike down. And yes store with the fuel tank FULL of treated non ethanol fuel.
