When the engine heats up quickly and a strong smell appears, You will certainly panic if you have never experienced it. You could also ignore this and continue riding a motorbike.
It's best to avoid the problem of panic, let alone let it happen, because components that are not directly connected will eventually become damaged. If you don't want to spend more money to buy new components, then immediate corrective action needs to be taken.
Here's what you should do to overcome the stench and the engine overheating quickly.
- Reduces Load on the Motor
If you are carrying too much weight on a daily basis, reduce it from now on. Reducing the load will reduce the load that the piston must experience.
The effect is besides preventing the engine from overheating quickly, the motor will also have more power. The motorbike will be strong on inclines and not too wasteful. Oil will not leak because the engine does not overheat.
- Replacing the Oil Seal
After checking the oil seal, You see the damage. Then replace this oil seal with a new one so that the oil does not seep back. Before replacing it, you should try to correct its position so that it fits the seat.
If there are no leaks then you don't need to replace it. The replacement process is safer to carry out by a professional technician so that seepage does not occur again.
- Change the oil regularly
When oil seepage appears, it is a good idea to replace with new oil. The goal is that the reduced amount of lubricant can be replaced immediately. Poor oil quality is also a trigger for a hot engine even though you have replaced the oil seal.
A new oil change is better done next every 2.000 km once or according to the recommendations of an official workshop technician.
- Replacing the Clutch Pad
It's not just that the motorbike heats up quickly and smells bad, Running on a motorbike whose clutch lining is worn out will make the vehicle unable to reach maximum speed.
You will feel that the motorbike feels less powerful, especially on uphill roads. Therefore, if the clutch lining is worn out, let alone scorched, then it must be replaced immediately.
