This is probably the wrong forum, and you'll just have to forgive me.

Do bikes put off carbon monoxide like cars do???

 

sure...they burn the same gas as cars do. it may not be in the volume that cars give off, but its still carbon monoxide. why?

 

like remo said yes they do.. and due to there small engines they don't put out as much.. but they do put out more pollutants than a car sense most bikes don't have catalytic converters, or a egr system with recirculates and re-burnes gases through the exhaust system..

 

Like poisonous pollutants or what?? I know Carbon monoxide will kill you. (eventually) or is what a bike puts off not enough?

 

VV, why so curious on this subject??

If a bike was in a poorly ventilated area and ran for a long time period, you can still get carbon monoxide poisoning. With the lack of the catalytic converter, there is a more pollution being released, but in a smaller dose due to the size of the engine.
