In this mechanical  engineering article today we study Automobile topic Top Ten Reasons why diesel engine is not used in bikes

We all the motorcycle (bike) lovers. All people bike used generally. bike or motorcycle is run by petrol. 

In some country diesel price is more than petrol. Some time we think why bikes or motorcycle not run by diesel. If market diesel bikes available than we can save money. But today we learned why diesel engine is not used in bikes.

Top 10 Reasons why diesel engine is not used in bikes

1. Diesel engine required compression ratio is 25:1, which is greater than petrol engine. High compression ratio engine required heavy metal for handling. So diesel engine is heavy than petrol engine, that why diesel engine is not used in bikes.

2. Diesel engine high compression ratio and weight of diesel engine is also high so Intial prices of diesel engine is more than petrol engine. So diesel engine is high cost engine that’s why diesel engine not perfect for diesel engine. 

3. In Diesel engine high compression ratio used. Due to high compression ratio, diesel engine produce more noise and vibration than petrol engine. Two wheeler or lighter vehicle not handling high vibration. That’s why diesel engines is not perfect for motorcycles.

4. Diesel engine is produce more torque but create low rpm than petrol engine. Motorcycle is needed high speed so diesel engine is not used in bikes. 

5. Diesel engine size big compared to petrol engine so diesel engine not perfect for bikes. Because bikes weight is must be low.

6. In diesel engine used supercharger or turbocharger for supplying extra air into the cylinder and that why increased price and size of diesel engine. So diesel engine is not used in bikes. 

7. Diesel engine is works on high pressure so wear and tear is high in diesel engine. This wear and tear reduces when oil is exchanged at every 5000 km. But this problem not in petrol engine. And that why diesel engine is not used in bikes.

8. In diesel engine fuel injector technology used for supplying fuel into combustion chamber and fuel injector is expensive than spark plug technology. And that why diesel engine is not used in bikes.

9. Diesel is produce high energy (heat ) than petrol. Diesel has high energy per gallon as compared to the petrol. When diesel burn that time high heat produced so that engine also required high surface area for cooling and that why diesel engine is not used in bikes.

10. Diesel is produce more pollution than petrol. When diesel is burn that time 15% more carbon dioxide per gallon as compared to petrol. So at environmental sideview petrol engine is best for bikes. And that why diesel engine is not used in bikes.
