How Does A Motorcycle Lubrication System Work?

Friction in an engine that powers any motorcycle, car, or truck is inevitable. But, as Cycle World Technical Editor Kevin Cameron explains in this short video, modern engines are wonderfully durable because they have complicated circulatory systems that deliver oil to every part that needs it.

"My bike ain't runnin' so good.." Absolutely hillarious! Spoken with the same dry sense of humor as my 9th grade world history teacher. Just awesome all around! Kevin - you should have one million+ views on every video. These are pure gold.

I've had oiling issues and I have oiling questions.
This guy has answers.
Thank you.

Kevin is awsome. Im watching all of your videos. Thank you again for teaching us how motorcycles work. I am much more educated now because of your videos. Thank you, Kevin.

Really enjoy his videos. Thank you Cycle World.

Young men being too aggressive.... Same as when my gf used to say take it easy I'm not lubed properly yet you just keep at it at full speed like a boss. Not very comfortable, now is it. Same principle applies for the engines too. Let the oil flow, warm up the engine properly

Lol.

No mention of oil in the clutch plates ... unless I missed it. On my drag bikes I get way more clutch material in the oil filters(cut them open every 12 1/4 mile runs) than any metal bits.

"I'm Kevin Cameron, or so I've been told!" The best line on RUclips, since Mr. T invented it in the 80s. And another great video!

[@samcooke2742]

But why are motorcycle clutches wet? Or did I miss that class? It's nice to see the Cycle World archive in the background.

Thanks. Blows my mind that the internal combustion engine lasts more than five minutes. Is there a Master Cameron session on motorcycle oil?

[@mohba01]

more the complex, the simpler he explains it..kevin's the old boss...of bosses..
