Do 4t smell anywhere near as much as 2ts??

[Andy C]

Well today me and my dad cleared/painted walls and floor/sorted out/throw away lot of stuff in the garage and made it look really nice. We got rid of loads (but this isnt the point of my post)

Anyway, there is a nice space that a motorbike (dont currently own one due to accident but will again soon) could be parked instead of outside which i hated as so much nicer to bike to be stored in a garage.

My mum kindly let me put my RS125 in the garage about a year ago and after a day i had to move it outside again. This was because we have a connecting door to house and it made the whole house smell of that 2t smell I never started the bike in the garage or near it it was just from it standing in the garage.

So my question is, if i was to get a 4t bike and perswaded them to let me keep it in garage would it smell be as strong as 2t?? (i know 2t are worse but would be much better??) The problem being my mum is asmatic so sets her off and also not that nice for everyone if house smells of bikes

No, because 4t's don't burn it (well, unless they are old or frakked!)

You should have noticed that your SV didn't smell as much as your 2 smoke, so I think you'll be fine as long as you don't get some crummy oil-burning rat bike!

They also sell that in petrol additive here for a 4t

I like the cherry and the orange ones although sniffing exhaust fuems is bad m'kay

You may occasionally get petrol smells. I'd much rather keep my bike away from the house simply because of smells and fire risk.

My bike smells of 'Spring Breeze', I can't understand why the parents won't allow it to join the rest of the living room's ornaments.

[R6Armadillo]

Just don't put the bike in the garage straight after a ride, I keep mine in a garage that is connected to the house and don't have a problem with smells unless I put it straight in the garage which makes the house smell of petrol.

i have an itegral garage. never smells of bike in the house.

I put it straight in after a run out, leave the main garage door open and potter in the garage til its cool enough to close the door.

never had an issue.

4 strokes do still smell, no where near as much as a 2 stroke though.

[killa]

if i park the thundercat in the yard behind my house you can smell petrol in the backroom even though the windows are shut .

@andy

you could always tape the breather pipes up when its stored in the garage as thats were the smell of petrol is coming from.


at least i think you can without it being detrimental to the running of the bike.

My sv really does stink of motorcycle, i didn't really notice the smell of my two stroke until I started it up.

[Kickstart]

Hi

Not sure on the smell you mean. But if it is just a petrol smell then that is likely to be the fuel tank breather, and pretty much independent of whether it is a 4 stroke or a 2 stroke.

All the best
