Air cooled engine is for limited use?
Hello
I have a bike (Honda XR 250) but I don't know so much about technical stuff
yet so I thought to ask the more experienced people here.
I am confused about air cooled engines versus water cooled engines. People
tell me different things about them. I hear that an air cooled engine on a
motocross like mine will become so warm if you take it out on the motorway
for hours and hours of touring, and that this will wear the engine faster and
shorten it's lifespan. This is because it is only made for working during shorter
time intervals on a motocross track.
Thus one has to have water cooling for touring on the motorway.
Others tell me that a motocross like mine on the motorway will cool itself fine
and not to worry.
I would like to take my Honda out on the motorway with average speed of
100 km/h for several hours at a time if it is advisable.
