As a convenient means of transportation, the health of the ignition system of the motorcycle is directly related to whether the vehicle can start and run smoothly. As the core component of this system, the importance of the igniter is self-evident. Once the motorcycle igniter fails, it will cause a series of obvious symptoms that directly affect the riding experience and safety.
The main symptoms of motorcycle igniter failure
Failure to start: The most immediate and obvious symptom is that the motorcycle will not start. When the igniter is damaged, it cannot provide enough high voltage electricity to the spark plug, causing the spark plug to be unable to generate sparks to ignite the gas mixture, thus rendering the engine unable to operate.
Difficulty starting: Even if the motorcycle can barely start in some cases, there may be difficulty starting. This is usually manifested as the need for several attempts to successfully start, or after starting the engine runs unstable, easy to stall.
Failure to accelerate: The igniter failure may also cause the motorcycle to fail to accelerate during driving. Due to poor ignition, inadequate combustion of the gas mixture, and reduced engine output power, the rider will obviously feel a lack of power, especially when accelerating.
Increased fuel consumption: Igniter failure can also affect a motorcycle's fuel economy. Due to inadequate combustion, part of the fuel can not be converted into power and directly discharged, resulting in increased fuel consumption. In the long run, it not only increases the cost of use, but also may cause greater pollution to the environment.
Abnormal engine noise: In some cases, igniter failure may also cause abnormal engine noise. Due to inaccurate ignition timing or insufficient ignition energy, there may be abnormal knocking or vibration inside the engine, which not only affects the riding experience, but may also cause further damage to the engine.
Preventive measures and routine maintenance
In order to avoid the inconvenience and loss caused by motorcycle igniter failure, owners should regularly carry out the following maintenance and inspection:
Replace the spark plug regularly: The spark plug is an important part of the ignition system, and its performance directly affects the ignition effect. It is recommended to replace the spark plug regularly according to the recommended cycle of the vehicle user manual, and choose a big brand product with reliable quality.
Check the ignition line: check the connection of the ignition line regularly to ensure that the joints are tight and not loose, and the line is not damaged or aging.
Keep the battery sufficient: the battery is the power supply of the ignition system, and its lack of power will also affect the ignition effect. Therefore, the owner should check the battery power regularly, and charge or replace the battery in time.
Avoid parking for a long time: When the motorcycle is not used for a long time, the negative electrode of the battery should be disconnected to reduce the impact of self-discharge on the life of the battery. At the same time, regularly start the motorcycle for short trips to keep the engine and ignition system in good condition.
In summary, the failure of motorcycle igniter will seriously affect the starting performance and driving safety of the vehicle. Therefore, owners should strengthen the daily maintenance and inspection of the ignition system, discover and solve the problem in time, and ensure that the motorcycle is always in good working condition.
