Bike Engine Damage: 99% Riders Make This Morning Mistake! Are You One of Them?
- •Many riders immediately start riding their bike after a cold start, or rev it loudly to warm up the engine quickly.
- •When a bike is parked, engine oil settles in the lower chamber, leaving upper engine parts dry.
- •It takes 30-60 seconds for the oil pump to circulate oil to all engine parts after starting.
- •Riding immediately causes 'cold start friction,' damaging metal layers and reducing engine power over time.
- •The 'Golden Rule' is to let the engine idle for 60 seconds after starting to ensure proper lubrication, especially in winter.
Why It Matters: Allow your bike to idle for 60 seconds after a cold start to prevent engine damage and extend its life.
