Tubeless tires cannot have inner tubes installed. Tubeless tires, also known as 'low-pressure tires' or 'pneumatic tires,' are inflatable tires without inner tubes. They offer high elasticity, wear resistance, good traction, and heat dissipation. Tubeless tires are increasingly used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, and trucks. They consist of three parts: the carcass, the cord ply, and the tread. Precautions for using tubeless tires: 1. Maintain the specified tire pressure; 2. They are not pressure-resistant and are unsuitable for overloading; 3. Avoid punctures from sharp objects, contact with acids or alkalis, and contamination by oils, as these can accelerate rubber degradation. Keep the tires clean to prevent rubber aging and extend their lifespan.

Last time I got a nail puncture in my tire and it leaked air pretty fast. I suddenly wondered if I could put an old-style inner tube inside the tubeless tire as an emergency fix. I asked my regular mechanic buddy about it, and he immediately waved his hands saying no way. He explained that tubeless tires rely on the inner rim wall to seal the air pressure. Adding an inner tube would be like forcing something in—the tube would rub against the inner tire wall, and after driving a few dozen kilometers in hot weather, it could wear through and leak even worse. Plus, the rim’s valve stem position isn’t compatible, so the inner tube’s valve hole wouldn’t seal tightly, leading to slow air leaks and a flat tire in just a few days. He taught me a simpler solution: for small holes, just pour in some tire sealant, and for bigger nail holes, use a mushroom plug patch for a solid, safe, and hassle-free fix. Now, before heading out, I’ve made it a habit to walk around the car and check the tires’ condition. If the pressure’s low, I top it up right away—saves me the headache of scrambling last minute.

What is the lifespan of the Suzuki EN125?

The lifespan of the Suzuki EN125 engine is approximately 5 years. Methods to extend engine lifespan: Regular inspections: Engine components such as bolts and nuts may loosen due to vehicle vibration or uneven force distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the engine and check all fasteners to prevent loosening that could lead to engine component wear, thereby extending engine life. Maintain cleanliness: Contamination in fuel or the engine body can affect component coordination, increase wear, and even cause damage to fuel lines or pistons, ultimately impacting engine lifespan.

What Are the Types of Car Keys?

Currently, common types of car keys on the market include mechanical keys, remote control keys, touchscreen LCD keys, and smart wristband keys. Regardless of the type, their basic functions are to unlock doors and start the engine. Some remote control and touchscreen LCD keys can also enable features like automatic parking and vehicle information display. The basic principle of remote control keys: A weak radio wave is emitted from the owner's side, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) identifies the signal code, and then the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic management coil) performs the unlocking/locking action. This system mainly consists of a transmitter and a receiver. When using a smart remote key, avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields, such as high-voltage power lines, transmission towers, or other areas with strong magnetic signals, and try to avoid parking in such locations. Since smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, they may not function properly under magnetic interference. Additionally, when using a smart key, avoid throwing it, as most smart key casings are sturdy, but frequent impacts can cause poor internal battery contact.

How long does it take to process a traffic violation removal application?

Traffic violation removal applications can be processed in as fast as 3 working days. Generally, vehicle violations can be detected within 3-7 days. However, for violations recorded by monitoring equipment, they may take up to 15 days to appear. According to the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations," traffic management departments of public security authorities should provide public query services and may notify vehicle owners or managers via mail, SMS, or email. The traffic violation handling process is as follows: vehicle owners should bring their driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to any traffic police station or administrative service center in the area where the violation occurred or where the vehicle is registered. If the violation does not involve point deduction, the fine can be paid directly at an ICBC self-service payment machine or online. Article 50 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations": For violations recorded by traffic monitoring equipment, the party involved should promptly report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for handling. Warnings or fines below 200 yuan may be processed through summary procedures; fines exceeding 200 yuan (not inclusive) or revocation of driver's license shall be processed through standard procedures. Article 52 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations": If the party fails to fulfill the administrative penalty decision within the specified period, the traffic management department of the public security authority that made the penalty decision may take the following measures: For overdue fines, an additional 3% of the fine amount will be charged daily, with the total additional fine not exceeding the original fine amount. Apply to the People's Court for compulsory execution.

What is the reason for the anti-theft light staying on but the car can still start?

The anti-theft light staying on but the car can still start may be due to a fault in the anti-theft device. The specific reasons are as follows: Short remote control distance: Troubleshooting method: First, check if the receiving antenna is functioning properly, if the 12V battery in the remote is too low, and observe for any surrounding magnetic interference; extend the anti-theft host antenna and keep it away from the system host; Remote control failure: Troubleshooting method: Check if the host is powered; if the central locking is functioning normally; inspect the 12V battery in the remote; check if the alarm is active (the remote may not deactivate during an alarm, wait until the alarm ends to deactivate); Blown fuse: Troubleshooting method: Check if the wiring is correct; inspect if the ribbon cable connection is proper; ensure the positive and negative terminals are not reversed; verify if the power supply voltage is normal (12V power supply).

What are the differences between the high-end and low-end versions of Suzuki UY125?

Suzuki UY125 high-end and low-end version differences are introduced as follows: Different appearance: The high-end version is obviously more fashionable and beautiful, while the low-end version looks relatively mediocre without too many highlights. Different configurations: The differences are mainly in some appearance parts, such as disc brakes and drum brakes for the front brakes, aluminum and iron racks for the rear cargo racks, and whether it comes with a rear cargo box. The main parts and quality are the same. Some parts of the UU125 exported back to Japan are different from those sold domestically, using some parts with higher standards and better quality. This version is not sold in China, and what can be bought domestically is only the difference in configuration. Different prices: The price of the Suzuki UU125 scooter is much higher for the high-end version compared to the low-end version, and the corresponding maintenance costs are also higher.

How many milliliters of engine oil should be added to the Suzuki UY?

Suzuki UY actually requires approximately 600ml of engine oil. Choose engine oil with moderate viscosity: Using engine oil with high viscosity in winter can easily damage the vehicle. Do not blindly choose engine oil with high viscosity. However, engine oil with excessively low viscosity cannot completely isolate stationary parts from rotating parts to a certain extent, which will lead to rapid wear of bearings. Therefore, engine oil with moderate viscosity should be selected. More expensive engine oil is not necessarily better: The idea that more expensive engine oil is better is incorrect. Different vehicle models have different engine structures and are prone to different types of problems. Therefore, the appropriate engine oil should be selected according to the vehicle maintenance manual.
