As someone who frequently handles motorcycle repairs, I firmly believe that even slight rim deformation has a significant impact. A minor bend can cause noticeable vibrations during riding, especially at high speeds or when cornering. These vibrations make handling unstable and increase the risk of accidents. Over time, the deformation leads to uneven tire wear, shortening tire lifespan, and may also affect braking performance due to uneven contact between the brake pads and the out-of-round wheel. Common causes include riding over potholes or impact damage. I recommend checking with a wheel balancer as soon as possible—minor deformations can often be repaired. However, ignoring the issue will worsen the problem, potentially requiring a full wheel replacement at greater cost. Safety comes first; don't wait for an accident to regret inaction. Regularly inspecting wheel condition is a smart preventive habit.

How Many Lanes Does a Dual Four-Lane Road Have?

Dual four-lane refers to a road with 4 motor vehicle lanes, where 2 lanes go east (north) and 2 lanes go west (south). Dual carriageways in China: In China, secondary and tertiary highways generally adopt dual carriageways. For secondary highways in plain and hilly areas with heavy mixed traffic, it may be difficult to separate slow lanes. In such cases, lanes can be marked for fast and slow traffic, but they still count as dual carriageways. Fourth-class highways should be designed as dual carriageways, while single-lane sections can be used for areas with low traffic volume. Precautions for driving on dual carriageways: When the road is narrow or there are obstacles on the roadside, driving becomes more challenging. In such situations, remain calm, control your speed, and avoid driving too fast. Pay attention to your surroundings. If there are obstacles ahead and oncoming traffic in the opposite lane, large trucks should slow down or even stop temporarily to let passenger cars pass first. Avoid competing for the right of way to ensure safety.

What are the reasons for insufficient power in electronically controlled National IV diesel vehicles?

Below are the related reasons for insufficient power in electronically controlled National IV diesel vehicles: 1. Symptoms of insufficient power: Reflected in acceleration performance and climbing ability, especially under heavy load conditions, the diesel engine power will be significantly insufficient, the throttle response will be sluggish, the vehicle speed cannot increase rapidly accordingly; the exhaust is dull, the driving is weak, fuel consumption rises sharply, and the occurrence is sudden, mainly judged by the driver's feeling in daily operation. 2. Fuel supply system: Fuel tank (fuel pipeline) - coarse filter - fuel transfer pump - fine filter - high-pressure fuel pump - common rail pipe - fuel injector. 3. Intake and exhaust system: Air filter - intake hose - turbocharger - intercooler - combustion chamber - exhaust pipeline (exhaust brake butterfly valve) muffler. 4. Electrical system: The electrical system includes the engine control unit ECU, sensors, wiring harnesses, and all connectors and other circuits that transmit electrical signals. Insufficient power in diesel engines caused by the electrical system is generally sudden, without warning. It is usually caused by minor issues such as loose connections, disconnections, broken wires, sensor damage, excessive gaps, etc.

Does a New Car's Exhaust Pipe Need Anti-Rust Spray?

New car exhaust pipes do not require anti-rust spray. Exhaust System: The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold (header), exhaust pipe, flexible connection (bellows), catalytic converter, and muffler. The exhaust system is almost horizontally arranged along the chassis, but the exhaust manifold is connected to the engine and is positioned higher vertically compared to other components of the exhaust system. When water just submerges the exhaust pipe, it cannot enter the engine cylinders. After the water recedes, the water level in the exhaust pipe will definitely drop again, meaning the farther from the exhaust outlet, the lower the water level. At this point, starting the car will not cause water in the exhaust pipe to be sucked back into the engine. After the water recedes, pay attention to the following starting method: Start the car by turning the ignition, but do not press the accelerator and let it idle. During this time, a lot of water will be expelled from the exhaust pipe until it stops dripping. This process won't take long, about 8 minutes.

What are the main items replaced during the first car maintenance?

The first maintenance at a 4S shop includes the following aspects: changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter; checking the levels of various fluids to ensure they are normal, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; checking the tire pressure for normalcy and looking for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or other damage; inspecting the chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, CV joints, and checking for any scratches; examining all the switches in the car; ensuring the lights are functioning properly. Estimated time: Completing all the work takes approximately 2 hours. Items to bring for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle purchase invoice. The first maintenance should be done at the designated service center. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven. The specific time varies by vehicle but is generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It is essential to attend the first maintenance on time, neither early nor delayed. Completing the first maintenance signifies the end of the car's break-in period, allowing the vehicle to be driven under standard load and normal speeds as required. The timing for the first maintenance is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicators for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first serves as the standard. Here are the essential inspections and replacements that must be completed during the first maintenance: changing the engine oil and cleaning the three filters—oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; checking the coolant level to ensure it is normal; inspecting the brake system and the level of the clutch fluid; verifying the power steering fluid level and checking for any leaks at the pipe connections; examining the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and belt for aging and tension; checking the tire pressure and wear condition, adjusting tire pressure or rotating tires if necessary. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil should refer to the "Vehicle User Maintenance Manual," as different models require different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, using water to rinse the body and wiping it with a cloth. It is important to note that the interior should not be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them, clean them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. The rubber mats under the driver's floor have many holes. If water enters, it will not dry naturally but will flow through the holes to areas like the transmission, causing corrosion. The best practice is to use a vacuum cleaner followed by a damp cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: If the antifreeze level is low, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties, and mixing them can lead to corrosion. Each brand uses different additives, so avoid mixing them to prevent unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. Some people apply lubricant to the bolts and nuts to prevent rust, but this can pose a safety risk. At high speeds, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall out, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: The starter of an EFI car differs from that of a conventional car. The fuel injection control system can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.
