It can still be used, but for personal safety considerations, it is recommended to repair it before use. Here are the detailed explanations of relevant content: Wheel hub deformation: Generally, aluminum alloy wheel hubs are difficult to deform without strong impact, and they also allow a certain amount of swing. If the left and right deviation does not exceed 2 millimeters, it is not a problem. After the wheel hub is deformed, it is recommended not to use it anymore. When the wheel hub is unbalanced and jumps, the driving stability will deteriorate. It is also not recommended to repair it, as the strength of the wheel hub will also deteriorate after repair. Repair method: First, wash the motorcycle clean and check the damage degree of the front tire mudguard. Use a wrench to remove the screws fixing the front tire mudguard, then take down the front tire mudguard separately. Cut the copper sheet into strips about 1-2 cm wide with scissors for later use. Wash the removed front tire mudguard carefully again and wipe it dry with a cloth. Squeeze AB double-tube glue into the front tire mudguard at a ratio of 1:1, mix it evenly, and apply it to the cracked interface of the front tire mudguard. Paste the cut copper strips on the crack of the front tire mudguard, press the copper sheet tightly with your hand for four to five minutes, and then let it dry naturally. After the pasted copper sheet is completely dry, you can reinstall the front tire mudguard and drive normally.

How to Install an ETC Device?

ETC device installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed in the upper middle section of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle section. ETC installation requirements: height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

What are the causes of unstable idle speed?

Reasons for unstable idle speed in cars: 1. Intake manifold leakage: When unauthorized air, gasoline vapor, or exhaust gases enter the intake manifold, causing the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, leading to unstable idle speed. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body: Too much carbon deposit in the throttle body and surrounding intake passages changes the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it impossible for the control unit to precisely regulate idle air intake. This also results in an overly rich or lean mixture, causing unstable idle speed. 3. Faulty intake system components: There are many actuators in the engine's intake system, such as throttle motor, idle speed control stepper motor, duty cycle solenoid valve, air flow meter, intake pressure sensor, etc. Malfunctions or damage to these components can cause unstable idle speed. 4. Fuel system faults: Issues like clogged fuel injectors, blocked fuel filter, obstructed fuel pump screen, faulty fuel pressure regulator, or blocked return line can all lead to incorrect fuel injection, causing the mixture to be too rich or too lean, resulting in unstable idle speed. 5. Ignition system faults: Problems such as faulty ignition module, incorrect spark plug gap, eroded or damaged spark plug electrodes, or excessive resistance in high-voltage wires can reduce ignition spark energy or cause misfires, leading to erratic idle speed fluctuations.

Which country produces Mitsubishi engines?

Mitsubishi engines are produced by China Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Co., Ltd., established in 1997. 1. Mitsubishi is a Japanese corporate group. 2. The predecessor of the Mitsubishi Group was the Tsukumo Shokai established by Yataro Iwasaki in Tosa Domain. 3. In 1870, Yataro Iwasaki took over the Nagasaki Shipyard operated by the Japanese government and renamed it Mitsubishi Shokai. In 1996, Mitsubishi Motors began cooperating with several Chinese companies. Initially, Mitsubishi partnered with Changfeng Motors to produce the Mitsubishi Pajero series. The Chinese military's Leopard off-road vehicles were improved based on the Mitsubishi Pajero during that time. With the rapid development of China's automotive market, Changfeng hoped for deeper cooperation with Mitsubishi, but to no avail. In 2006, Mitsubishi acquired a portion of Southeast Motors Group's equity, establishing Soueast Mitsubishi. However, Soueast Mitsubishi also struggled, with consistently low sales until GAC stepped in to merge with Changfeng in 2012, saving Mitsubishi. Currently, Mitsubishi operates in the Chinese market through Soueast Mitsubishi and GAC Mitsubishi.

What is the size of the Magotan's wheel rims?

The wheel rim size of the Magotan is 16 inches. The wheel rim is the central part of the wheel where the axle is installed, commonly referred to as the 'rim' or 'steel rim'. Wheel rims are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode and deform, leading to potential safety hazards. Wheel rims are divided into steel rims and alloy rims, with the differences as follows: 1. The main advantage of steel rims is their simple manufacturing process (usually using casting techniques, whereas alloy rims are typically produced using low-pressure casting), relatively lower cost, and strong resistance to metal fatigue. 2. Steel rims are heavier (the same rim made of steel is much heavier than one made of aluminum alloy), have greater inertial resistance, poorer heat dissipation, and are prone to rust. 3. Alloy rims are lighter in weight, have smaller inertial resistance, higher manufacturing precision, and less deformation at high speeds, which helps improve the vehicle's straight-line driving performance, reduces tire rolling resistance, and consequently decreases fuel consumption. 4. The thermal conductivity of alloy materials is about three times that of steel, providing better heat dissipation, which can have a positive effect on the vehicle's braking system, tires, and the thermal attenuation of the braking system.

Where is the Car Tire Pressure Monitoring Located?

Tire pressure monitoring devices can be divided into built-in tire pressure monitoring and external tire pressure monitoring based on the installation position of the sensor. The built-in type has its sensor installed inside the tire, replacing the original valve stem, while the external type adds a sensor outside the valve stem. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting drivers to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in faster rotation compared to other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.
