If the motorcycle backfiring phenomenon is not very severe, it will not have much impact on the vehicle. Below are the specific reasons for the backfiring sound in motorcycles: Engine malfunction: If the air-fuel mixture in the engine is too lean, fuel consumption will increase, and acceleration may become intermittent. If the engine emits black smoke or produces backfiring sounds during low to medium-speed operation and tends to stall during rapid acceleration, this indicates that the air-fuel mixture in the engine is too rich. The carburetor or air filter should be promptly checked for blockages. Fuel not meeting requirements: Using fuel that does not meet the requirements can cause engine knocking, which reduces engine power, leads to incomplete fuel combustion, and worsens the motorcycle's acceleration performance. Excessive lubricating oil: Too much lubricating oil in the engine can cause incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, leading to carbon buildup over time and backfiring sounds during acceleration.

What Can You Do with Leftover Engine Oil?

Leftover engine oil from maintenance can be saved for next use, but it's important to note that the shelf life of opened engine oil will be shortened, generally to only 1 year. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: The main functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and heat dissipation. In fact, many parts of a vehicle use engine oil, but the oil that needs to be changed every 5000 kilometers refers to engine oil. Most people generally use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil, while conventional engine oil is rarely used. Conventional engine oil is usually used in agricultural machinery, tricycles, and motorcycles. 2. Replacement intervals: Conventional engine oil, 5000 kilometers; semi-synthetic engine oil, 7500 kilometers; fully synthetic engine oil can go up to 10000 kilometers before the next maintenance.

What does it mean when the yellow steering wheel with an exclamation mark keeps flashing?

Steering wheel with an exclamation mark yellow light keeps flashing indicates a problem with the power steering system. Classification of power steering systems: There are three types of power steering systems in cars: electric power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and mechanical hydraulic power steering system. Characteristics of power steering systems: The electric power steering system relies on an electric motor to directly provide steering assistance, and this system does not have hydraulic components. Both the electro-hydraulic power steering system and the mechanical hydraulic power steering system have hydraulic components, and both systems include a power steering pump. The power steering pump in the mechanical hydraulic power steering system is driven by the engine, while the power steering pump in the electro-hydraulic power steering system is driven by an electric motor.

Inspection items: The vehicle's exterior must be checked to see if the color has been altered. The vehicle's engine, chassis, and auxiliary components must be checked for modifications. The vehicle's braking system, steering system, lighting system, and exhaust system must also be inspected. If the vehicle's exterior has been modified, it must be restored to its original condition during the annual inspection.

What does the car battery low power warning icon look like?

When the car battery is low on power, the battery icon on the dashboard will continuously flash to indicate an alarm state. Here is some knowledge about car batteries: 1. Definition: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term "battery" refers to a lead-acid battery. This is a type of battery mainly made from lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Lifespan: The normal service life varies from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. If the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation When Driving on Highways in Summer?

When driving on highways in summer, use the internal air circulation. However, it's advisable to switch to external air circulation periodically to ensure proper air flow inside the vehicle and prevent oxygen depletion. Internal Air Circulation System: The air exchange channels between the inside and outside of the vehicle are closed. When the fan is off, there's no air flow inside the cabin. When the fan is on, the air drawn in comes solely from inside the vehicle, creating an internal air circulation. External Air Circulation System: In external circulation mode, the fan draws air from outside the vehicle into the cabin. Even when the fan is off, the vehicle's movement naturally draws in outside air, replenishing the cabin with fresh air.

How to prevent stalling when starting with a manual transmission?

1. A method to start without stalling and without being slow: In idle state, press the accelerator to reach 2000 RPM, then slowly release the clutch until the car starts moving slowly. (When the clutch engages, the RPM will drop—ignore it and keep the accelerator pedal steady). 2. The normal method for experienced drivers: Press the accelerator to 1500 RPM, attempt to lift the clutch to get the car moving slightly but not fully, then increase the accelerator while continuing to lift the clutch until the car starts noticeably. 3. The most perfect starting method: Keep the clutch and accelerator synchronized, meaning you press the accelerator while lifting the clutch, ensuring sufficient starting speed while also reducing fuel consumption.
