No experienced motorcyclist would ever make this “novice” mistake also because the consequences are potentially devastating for the vehicle
To be gods expert motorcyclists it doesn’t just mean knowing how to take your Brutale or Hayabusa to maximum speed on corners, on a straight line or, why not, on the track. The true motorcyclist can be seen in the way he treats his motorcycle, ensuring that all the mechanical components, the engine and even the electronics of the bike are always treated with care, lasting much longer than average.
Today, we will discover that even if you do not know in detail some characteristics and indications regarding the use of a product for your motorcycle, it is never late to understand the risks and avoid very dangerous behaviors. Specifically, we are talking about engine oila substance suitable for lubricating the moving elements of the motorbike and car engine.
As we all know, choose your fuel, fluids and especially the right oil for an engine it makes the difference between its long life and the onset of problems of all kinds which can lead to the engine breaking or in any case lasting much less than it would have if you had used a suitable product. That’s why, today we will see a risky behavior that should never be undertaken.
Engine oil, are you sure you know?
To begin with, we must avoid exceeding in both cases: not Never change the oil on your motorcycle – it usually has to be done every 10-15 thousand kilometers but it also depends on the model and state of wear of the vehicle – it means facing a lack of lubrication of the mechanical parts, risking a breakdown. On the other hand, exceeding the oil level can lead to a very dangerous over compression in the lubrication compartment of the vehicle.
Another risky behavior in this sense is switching a motorcycle engine from mineral oil to synthetic oil at any moment. This apparently harmless behavior is a significant modification in the composition of the oil used on an engine and, especially on old models which require specific products, can lead to serious damage to the seals and engine failures.
This is therefore a behavior to be absolutely avoided. Suddenly changing the oil from mineral to synthetic at any moment can lead to a significant breakdown of the vehicle. It is therefore better to consult a mechanic before completing the operation or evaluate the condition of the motorbike and the age or condition of the engine fitted.
