High-mounted stop lamp not working will result in failure of the annual inspection. Below is the relevant information: 1. Brake light positions: Most vehicles are equipped with 3 brake lights - one on each side at the lower rear, plus an additional high-mounted stop lamp on the rear windshield. 2. Brake lights: Some vehicles only have two brake lights, meaning they lack the high-mounted stop lamp. 3. Lighting system: The brake light is a crucial component of the vehicle's lighting system and also one of the most prone to failure. 4. Definition: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing required for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination based on motor vehicle safety technical requirements. 5. Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

What causes unstable idle speed in motorcycles, fluctuating up and down?

The reasons for unstable idle speed in motorcycles, fluctuating up and down: 1. The ignition system, ignition coil, or high-voltage coil has minor damage. In this case, although the vehicle can start, it may exhibit unstable idle speed similar to a carburetor malfunction; 2. There is air leakage at the connection between the engine and the carburetor, or cylinder leakage; 3. Incorrect spark plug electrode gap or other wear or damage; 4. The idle jet in the carburetor is blocked, or the mixture ratio and idle adjustment are incorrect. Idle speed refers to the engine running without load, only overcoming the frictional resistance of its internal components, without delivering external power. The minimum speed required to maintain stable engine operation is called idle speed, which is one of the basic operating conditions of the engine.
