How long will a CB engine last?
#11
I'll even take that a step further-

Someone casually cooking in a pan- will have a dirtier pan than a zealous cook often vigorously moving the food around with his tools, and often he works at an increased heat which can get the job done faster & better under his attentive eye.

There is indeed a small- but measurable increase in rod & ring movement- both up and down under the forces involved.

I'd rather have a swept to the edges than a clogged up result.

Gecko,

Check out Powerdubs thread and you will know what his picture is!

Wouldn't hurt to run some Berryman's through a tank every soo often. Since these bikes are typically ridden leisurely- they tend to build carbon on the pistons from what I've seen on numerous low mile wrecked / parted bike pictures.

oh goody. finally validation for my heavy throttle hand. I can just say i'm preventing carbon buildup.


That's not a lie- on both cars and bikes.

Using them 'easy' is worse.

More throttle = more fuel spray- keeps injectors, intake ports, and combustion chamber cleaner.

More heat keeps combustion chamber (head, valves, spark plug, pistons) as well as cat if you have one, O2 sensors... cleaner.

....and more heat = more pollution = deadly NOx as well!!!

Peter- heat itself does NOT equal more pollution, nor more NOx.

You can certainly tune an engine to run clean & hot. In fact cats run MUCH better hot.

But this is not the forum to get political. If you are an staunch environmentalist- you would only own a bicycle- live on solar power- use NO plastic (which is MUCH worse) and certainly not have 'drop a gear and disappear' in your sig.

Anyone selling such narrative to you- are not only truly unaware- but getting paid on the back end to feed spoonful's of soup to suckers.

The reality is- NOTHING any of us common folk do will matter. Do you know what a private jet or ship pollutes?

Do you know that 'recycling' is B.S.?

Mods- wasn't me that took this off topic into fantasy land...but here is proof-

The truth is - just like smoking, drinking- plastic- burning ANYTHING- chemical ANYTHING- cleaning water - cleaning air- the ONLY solution is a COMPLETE and FINAL stop doing ALL of it. Now and forever on.

Unless TOTAL worldwide understanding and stopping of ALL that stops- the problem is still there. SO- live your life and stop making posts on the internet that aren't reality.

It would help us all, PowerDubs, if you could stop delivering lectures. By all means express a view, but leave it at that. You object to people who tell you how you should live and spend your time. How about extending others the same courtesy?

For example, leaving out the last sentence of your previous post would have made it more acceptable.

All I wanted to say is that a combustion engine produces heat,, and one of its byproduct is NOx = simple physics and facts.

Did I step on your toes or have I offended your ambition? It wasn't intentional.
Thanks

Wait, what? Leave out facts?

Big difference than telling people ‘how to live and spend those time’.

Acceptable in this place is subject to odd interpretation.

Guy comes in to a motorcycle forum and starts talking pollution- I respond with appropriate videos - not politics fed news agenda- and somehow Im the bad guy.

No need to tell me to leave… I’ve had enough.

Heat is physics and its product is chemistry.
We are both correct
