Motorcycle engines are made of aluminum. The engine casing is cast from aluminum alloy. Working Principle: A motorcycle engine converts the thermal energy generated by igniting the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder into mechanical energy. The crankshaft then transmits this power through the transmission mechanism to the rear wheel, providing the driving force for the vehicle. Internal Combustion Technology: Motorcycle power units utilize internal combustion engine technology. Engines that use diesel fuel are commonly called diesel engines, while those that use gasoline are called gasoline engines. Due to their advantages such as light weight, compact size, low noise, minimal vibration, easy starting, and low cost, gasoline engines are widely used as the power source for motorcycles.

Should You Turn Off the Engine During One or Two Minutes of Traffic Jam?

You don't need to turn off the engine during one or two minutes of traffic jam. Reasons for not turning off the engine during short traffic jams: Generally, it is not recommended to turn off the engine during short traffic jams because the traffic flow may start moving at any time. Turning off and restarting the engine adds to the driving process, prolongs travel time, and may even worsen the traffic congestion. Slow acceleration in traffic jams: During traffic jams, drivers often become impatient and tend to step hard on the accelerator as soon as the road conditions slightly improve. It's important to know that rapid acceleration not only consumes more fuel but also damages the car. If the vehicle remains stationary for a long time, it's better to turn off the engine, as the engine still consumes fuel while idling.

How many bars on the car temperature gauge are normal?

The normal range for the car temperature gauge is 2-4 bars, which corresponds to a temperature between 90-110 degrees Celsius. Normal water temperature: The water temperature refers to the temperature of the coolant. After the engine warms up, it typically displays 70-90 degrees as normal. When the coolant level in the radiator is low, the water temperature will rise, and it's necessary to add water. If the temperature gauge approaches the 'H' mark or the red danger zone, and in severe cases, the temperature warning light comes on, it indicates that the engine coolant temperature is too high. Working principle: The temperature gauge sensor is a thermistor-type sensor, which is fixed with threads to the engine coolant passage. The thermistor determines the current flowing through the coil windings of the temperature gauge, thereby driving the movement of the gauge needle.
