On oil-cooled motorcycles, you can directly ride a certain distance and then touch the oil-cooled radiator to see if it is hot to see if there is oil participating in the cooling cycle.
The oil cooling method actually circulates the oil from the motorcycle gearbox to the oil cooler through the oil pump, and then dissipates it through natural wind. The cooling method of this kind of engine is also very simple. When the motorcycle is riding, the oil cooling method can quickly take away the excess heat from the engine and protect the engine.
Oil-cooled engines generally appear in mid-range street cars, emphasizing both low failure rate and lightness of the body. Its heat dissipation effect is better than that of air-cooled engines and slightly inferior to water-cooled engines. Therefore, many people are willing to change air cooling to oil cooling when modifying the cooling system. They only need to add an oil radiator to the oil passage of the engine.
Extended information:
Advantages and disadvantages of motorcycle oil-cooled engines
(1) Advantages: obvious heat dissipation effect and low failure rate, low oil temperature can reduce high oil temperature The viscosity is reduced.
(2) Disadvantages: Are there restrictions on the amount of engine oil? The oil radiator cannot be too large. If it is too large, the oil will pour into the oil radiator, resulting in insufficient lubrication at the bottom of the engine.
Notes
1. The oil cooling area should be selected reasonably and the installation location should be reasonable. The installation method must be correct.
2. The specific oil cooling effect varies according to each machine. Oil cooling should be tested under the guidance of professionals.
