How Does The Piston Ring In A Relatively Sealed Environment Wear Out On A Motorcycle?

I believe that friends who know motorcycles know that if the motorcycle burns oil, it is definitely because the piston rings and pistons are worn out. Basically, as long as the motorcycle has the phenomenon of power drop and oil burning, maybe this means that there is a problem with the piston ring. Do you know how the piston ring in a relatively sealed environment is worn?

Generally speaking, the piston rings of motorcycles are made of cast iron plus copper or chrome plating to increase durability, and the piston and piston rings are both working in a closed environment, so if they wear out, they can only be under abnormal conditions. occurring. First of all, the wear of the piston ring may be caused by the scratching damage, which almost always occurs at the junction of the cylinder and the first air ring. Because of the high temperature and poor lubrication, the scratching will form during operation. The operation of the piston will damage the piston ring and cause the phenomenon of oil burning.

Another condition is abrasive damage. This is because the cylinder of the motorcycle contains dust and other particulate impurities from the outside that enter and adhere to the cylinder wall. As long as the piston works, it may increase the wear and tear, and these impurities will move around with the oil, which is difficult to remove. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these external impurities to enter the cylinder, unless the air filter is damaged and loses its function, the impurities will enter.

Many people will replace the piston rings after the motorcycle burns oil, but in fact, this also depends on the situation. Because the wear of the piston ring will increase the consumption of oil, if the situation is not serious, the car owner can provide better lubrication service for the piston by using genuine high-quality motorcycle oil, which can also alleviate the generation of burrs and wear. However, if the oil burning and power drop are serious, it is best to replace a set of piston rings for safety reasons.
