Safeguard Your Harley: The Dangers of Engine Overheating and the OilBud™ Solution
Are you an avid rider who loves the open road, whether it's for a weekend cruise or events like the Sturgis Bike Rally? If so, you're well aware of the thrill that comes with every twist of the throttle. However, engine overheating is one aspect of riding that can be particularly challenging and, if not addressed, potentially dangerous. We'll describe the risks associated with engine overheating and introduce you to a solution to keep your Harley running smoothly and safely - the OilBud™ oil cooler.
The Perils of Engine Overheating
Engine overheating is a concern that every motorcycle enthusiast should take seriously. Whether you find yourself navigating stop-and-go traffic in the city or embarking on long rides in hot weather, overheating can be a real threat. Here are some of the dangers it poses:
Reduced Performance: When your engine overheats, it can lead to a significant drop in performance. You might experience decreased power, sluggish acceleration, and difficulty starting your bike.
Potential Engine Damage: Perhaps the most concerning risk is the potential for engine damage. Overheating can cause critical engine components to break down or warp, resulting in costly repairs or even the need for a total engine replacement.
Battery Stress: Excessive heat can take a toll on your battery, causing it to degrade faster. In severe cases, you may find yourself stranded with a dead battery.
The OilBud™ Solution: Effective Cooling Without Airflow
Now, let's introduce the OilBud™ oil cooler and explain why it's a game-changer for Harley riders concerned about engine overheating. The OilBud™ works like a heat sink, efficiently cooling your engine's oil with its extended surface area. What sets it apart is its ability to operate effectively even in stop-and-go traffic, where airflow is limited.
In a test conducted by Bud, an experienced Harley rider, several vital takeaways illustrate the benefits of the OilBud™ oil cooler:
Oil Change Necessity: An oil change was necessary after experiencing excessive temperatures on the first day of testing. The test highlighted the strain overheating can place on your engine's oil.
Battery Replacement: The test resulted in replacing a two-year-old battery, a reminder of how engine heat can stress and degrade essential components.
Significant Temperature Difference: The OilBud™ oil cooler demonstrated its effectiveness by showcasing an impressive 80-85 degree temperature difference during the idle test (similar to stop-and-go traffic), and a 35-40 degree temperature difference under normal riding circumstances.
