why does klr burn oil?

We have to start with a basic understanding of Paul's theory. As he took a deep dive into the KLR's oiling system he reasoned that the KLR burns oil at high RPM simply because there is too much oil on the walls of the cylinder for the rings to deal with.

NOTE: The Kawasaki KLX 110 takes 1.1 quarts of 10W-40 oil.

Dont worry about it, Castrol GTX works good. Better than some of the "motorcycle specific" oils out there. Before switching to Rotella blue, I used strictly Castrol GTX oil in all my engines cars and bike.

A turbo car may not necessarily be more prone to burn more oil, but they certainly are harder on oil. They can subject oil to some pretty high temps and if run hard and shut down immediately can actually cook the oil in a process called “coking”.

When the lamp is lit, the kerosene that the wick has absorbed burns and produces a clear, bright, yellow flame. As the kerosene burns, capillary action in the wick draws more kerosene up from the fuel tank.

The KLR has the utilitarian feel of a military vehicle. It has just enough power to get you through any obstacle, it's minimalist design menas there's not much to damage or break and its decades-old powertrain never seems to fail. There is no frills to its design; everything serves a purpose.

Many times burning oil will give off a burning rubber smell. Finally, the most common cause of this problem is an engine belt. Various belts in the engine, when failing, heat up and give off a smell of burning rubber.

The oil coming from the crankcase vent on top of the valve cover and oil burning smell is the result of excessive crankcase blowby. This is normally caused by worn piston rings. I have checked a large amount of oil usage forums for this 800 rzr and found almost everyone is having the same problem.

So, if your car is low on oil, possibly due to an oil leak, it can lead to engine overheating. Oil lubricates internal engine components and makes sure they move smoothly. Lack of lubrication causes friction, which will generate excessive heat, and potentially cause the engine to fail.

A car may be burning oil for a few different reasons. The two most common are because it is bypassing the piston rings, or leaking past the valve seals. ... Engine oil also circulates around the valves in your engine's head. There are seals around each valve to keep the oil from leaking into the combustion chamber.

Actually per the owners manual, it requires premium, higher octane fuel and could be damaged if not followed. If I remember correctly, they have advanced timing which could cause detonation if too low of octane is used.

Kerosene with red dye (even if 1-K) contributes to more carbon deposits on the wick and more soot when lighting and extinguishing the heater. ... 1-K kerosene intended for road use is the same clear kerosene intended for kerosene heaters and our recommendation for purchase.

Too much of a buildup can lead to cold start misfires, poor fuel economy, and, eventually, a reduction in engine power. It should be noted that oil catch cans are only really necessary for direct injection engines.

P0302 indicates that cylinder number 2 is experiencing misfires. A misfire occurs when an insufficient amount of fuel is burning in a cylinder. The efficient burning of fuel is essential to engine operation as the combustion of fuel is what provides the energy to power the engine.

If the EGR is substantially plugged, back pressure can cause oil seepage at the various joints from the Turbo to the EGR. So, OP, if your EGR is not leaking oil out the weep holes (front and back), then totally disregard what I previously posted.

Petroleum products give off the following emissions when they are burned as fuel: Carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon monoxide (CO) Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
