Tire with a piece of peeled-off skin can be repaired as long as the cord layer is not damaged. Precautions: Car tires are basically radial tires, mainly composed of cord layers, steel wire mesh, and rubber. The cord layer consists of transverse and longitudinal cords, whose main function is to bear the load, while the main function of rubber is sealing and flexible deformation. The weakest part is the sidewall. If forced to repair, the alternating deformation and recovery of the sidewall during rotation will cause the rubber patch on the sidewall to fall off. If repaired with a mushroom nail, it will cause the sidewall cords to break, leading to bulging. Service life of car tires: Tires with sidewall damage can be used as spare tires for a short period after repair, but long-term use is not recommended, and high-speed driving is not advised. When repairing sidewall-damaged tires, the tire repair technician will also inform you of potential safety hazards and advise against long-term use. The sidewall of the tire is only protected by rubber material, unlike the high-strength protection of the tire's tread bottom.

Do Motorcycle Shock Absorbers Need Lubrication?

Motorcycle shock absorbers do not require lubrication as they come with their own built-in lubrication and do not need additional lubrication. Working Principle of Shock Absorbers: The working principle is that when there is relative movement between the frame (or body) and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different pores. At this time, the friction between the pore walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, creates a damping force that converts the vehicle's vibration energy into heat energy of the oil, which is then absorbed and dissipated into the atmosphere by the shock absorber. Maintenance Methods for Shock Absorbers: After driving the vehicle on a rough road for 10km, stop and touch the shock absorber housing with your hand. If it is not hot enough, it indicates that there is no resistance inside the shock absorber, meaning the shock absorber is not working. In this case, you can add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil and test again. If the housing becomes hot, it means the shock absorber is low on oil and should be filled up. Otherwise, it indicates that the shock absorber has failed.

Gear Grinding in Reverse with Dual-Clutch Transmission?

Gear grinding in reverse with a dual-clutch transmission is abnormal. It is usually caused by the clutch failing to disengage properly. Hazards of severe gear grinding in transmission: Transmission gear grinding essentially refers to the hard metal-on-metal contact between two gears. The outcome is obvious - accelerated wear on the gear crown. After prolonged and frequent occurrences, the originally right-angled gear crown becomes rounded. This leads to incomplete engagement after shifting gears, making it prone to gear disengagement with slight vibrations. At this point, a major transmission overhaul becomes necessary. When clutch gear grinding commonly occurs: It often happens when gear shifting is attempted without complete clutch disengagement. This not only produces gear noise during shifting but also easily causes gear grinding. Additionally, if the transmission lubricant contains large impurities, such as long-term wear metal shavings, these particles can get caught between meshing gears during rotation, also leading to gear grinding.

Is the engine noise louder after switching to Shell oil?

The reasons for louder engine noise after switching to Shell oil are as follows: Excessive oil: Many car owners mistakenly believe that more oil is better. This is a misconception. There is a standard for oil quantity. If too much is added, it creates greater resistance to crankshaft rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Increased oil entering the combustion chamber leads to significantly more carbon deposits, increased piston movement resistance, reduced engine power, and a higher chance of knocking. Severe carbon deposits: Oil becomes thinner with use, leading to more carbon deposits. When new oil is added, the engine may not immediately adapt to the new oil's viscosity, causing higher RPMs and louder engine noise.

How Long Can a Motorcycle's Annual Inspection Be Overdue?

Motorcycle annual inspection becomes invalid if overdue by even one day. Required documents for annual inspection: Original "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form" (signed by the authorized person for company vehicles, or by the owner for private vehicles), proof of compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance, copy of the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, original motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate, and original "Motor Vehicle Driving License". Annual inspection time regulations: The annual inspection time for vehicles is determined by the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the motor vehicle driving license is June 2015, then the annual inspection time is every June. Additionally, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", vehicle owners can apply for the inspection compliance mark from the vehicle management office at the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles scheduled for annual inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June.

Why does a motorcycle lose power when it overheats?

Motorcycle overheating and loss of power can be caused by the following reasons: Excessive engine oil: Too much oil in the engine can affect heat dissipation and increase running resistance. You can drain the excess oil according to the oil level marks on the dipstick to fix the issue. (Common after engine oil changes or overhauls). Electrical component issues: One possible cause is faulty electrical components, such as the ignition coil, spark plug, or high-voltage coil. Replacing the faulty parts can resolve the issue. Engine timing gear misalignment: Another possible cause is misaligned engine timing gears, which can disrupt the ignition timing. This often occurs after engine repairs and can be fixed by reinstalling the timing gears correctly.

Is Car Wash Required for Vehicle Inspection?

There is no mandatory requirement to wash the car, but it is better to have it washed before the annual inspection. Documents required for annual inspection: Original "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form" (signed by the authorized person for company vehicles or by the owner for private vehicles), Motor Vehicle Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance Certificate, copy of the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, original Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate, and original Motor Vehicle Driving License. Annual inspection time regulations: The annual inspection time for a car is determined by the date of its initial registration. For example, if the registration date on the Motor Vehicle Driving License is June 2015, then the annual inspection time is every June.
