If the gap on a piston ring in a motorcycle is too small, it can lead to excessive pressure build-up within the combustion chamber, potentially causing the rings to bind or break. This can result in poor engine performance, reduced efficiency, and increased oil consumption. Additionally, it may cause engine knocking or even severe damage to the cylinder walls. Proper ring gap is crucial for optimal engine function and longevity.
