What is EGR on motorcycle?
The EGR valve is an emissions component, it is used to burn unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust stream, bikes that have it are tuned for it, removing it might make your bike run rich (lean is mean!
Where is the EGR valve on a car?
The EGR Valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is found on almost all modern engines and is considered part of the emissions package of your vehicle.
Why is it hard to clean an EGR valve?
So, the engine temperature is lower and when it combusts, it won’t create nitrogen oxides and pollute the atmosphere. Over time, the carbon builds up and will clog the EGR valve. If you are a skilled mechanic, you won’t have a hard time removing and cleaning your EGR valve.
Why does the EGR valve work at low throttle angles?
It is true that the EGR recycles exhaust gas through the engine and those gasses are less than optimum for combustion. However, at low throttle angles your engine isn’t struggling to make power so much as it is struggling to work against the vacuum being created by the pistons traveling up and down the bore.
How does the EGR valve affect Wot performance?
It has absolutely 0 effect on WOT performance and I’ll explain why in this article as well as tell you how clever this little valve really is. The EGR valve does not open under heavy load (I am unaware of any exceptions) and therefore, you will not be burning exhaust gasses while at wide open throttle.
