Upgrading from 16-inch rims to 17-inch rims will not pass the annual inspection. More information about rims is as follows: 1. The rim is the rotating part of the wheel hub connected by pillars inside the tire, which is the metal component supporting the tire mounted on the axle. 2. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of rims will also adopt different methods, which can be roughly divided into two types: painting and electroplating. 3. The rim size is essentially the diameter of the rim. 4. Rims come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. 5. There are three manufacturing methods for rims: gravity casting, forging, and low-pressure precision casting.

How to Clean a Carburetor?

Start the vehicle. If the motorcycle is currently cold, it is best to warm it up first. Remove the connection between the air filter and the carburetor. This operation is relatively easy for most models. Start the vehicle and spray an appropriate amount of cleaner into the two intake ports of the carburetor, trying to keep the engine from stalling. Burn off all the cleaner completely. At this point, the exhaust pipe will emit a large amount of white smoke. After this operation, the carburetor cleaning process is considered complete.

How to Adjust the Tightness of Motorcycle Rear Brakes?

Disc brakes consist of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper at the edge of the disc. During braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the brake pads to clamp the disc, generating the braking effect. Disc brakes cannot be freely adjusted for tightness. If the caliper fails to retract on its own, causing excessive resistance, the retraction rubber should be replaced. Here is an introduction to motorcycles: Motorcycle Classification: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles powered by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, etc., serving as a versatile, fast, economical, and comfortable mode of transportation. They combine the flexibility and portability of bicycles with the mobility and speed of cars. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. Disc Brake Adjustment: Generally, disc brakes do not require gap adjustment, as they are not designed with mechanisms for adjusting gaps. If a disc brake rubs against the brake disc, it usually indicates component damage, such as excessively worn brake pads or sticking shift bushings on the caliper (common but difficult to address, often with unsatisfactory results, which is why repair shops are reluctant to handle them). However, sometimes it might simply be due to debris like sand on the brake pads.

How to Adjust the Air-Fuel Mixture in a Carburetor?

Taking the carburetor plunger as the central line, if the mixture screw is on the side of the carburetor's fuel-air outlet, it adjusts the fuel type—turning clockwise leans the mixture, while counterclockwise enriches it. If the mixture screw is on the side where air enters the carburetor from the air filter, it adjusts the air type—turning clockwise enriches the mixture, while counterclockwise leans it. This is the most convenient and effective method. After adjusting the air-fuel mixture, it is essential to ride at low to medium speeds for 7-10 KM. You can then check the spark plug color to determine if the adjustment is appropriate.

How to Identify If You Suspect Purchasing a Transport-Damaged Vehicle?

Check whether the manufacturing dates of the glass and the car are consistent; look for signs of bolt removal, check if the paint thickness is uniform, and see if there is any color difference. It is essential to conduct a PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) test, which can more directly indicate potential issues. You can review relevant maintenance records or perform some professional inspections.

How to Keep the Original License Plate When Changing Cars?

The owner only needs to follow the procedures for deregistering the motor vehicle to complete the scrapping and deregistration of the original vehicle. Within six months after the vehicle is scrapped and deregistered, submit an application to retain the license plate and provide the registration documents to the vehicle management office. The vehicle management office will review the documents. Eligible owners will be accepted, and the original license plate will be recorded. A "Temporary Driving License Plate" will be printed and issued to the vehicle owner. The temporary license plate can be used on the road as long as it is within the validity period until the original license plate is retrieved.
