Motorcycle continuous driving mileage varies depending on the engine type and the vehicle's displacement. Mileage for different displacements: Motorcycles with a displacement of 150 ml or above and water-cooled engines can run continuously for about 200 kilometers; For motorcycles with a displacement of around 110 ml (such as underbone motorcycles) or around 125 ml (such as standard motorcycles), it is recommended not to exceed 100 kilometers of continuous driving due to heat dissipation issues; Due to poor heat dissipation, scooters are not recommended to run continuously for more than 50 kilometers. Motorcycle lifespan: The lifespan of a motorcycle and its continuous running mileage are largely related to its design. Relevant data shows that the lifespan of a brand-new motorcycle tire is about 50,000 kilometers, while the engine's lifespan is around 100,000 kilometers.

I've been riding motorcycles for a while and found that the distance you can cover in one go depends on many factors. Tank size is crucial. For example, a common 150cc bike has about a 10-liter tank, with fuel consumption around 2-3 liters per 100 km, theoretically allowing over 300 km. However, in real-world conditions, tailwinds or downhill stretches can lower consumption, pushing the range to 350 km, while headwinds or high-speed riding might reduce it to just 250 km. Bike weight and passenger load also matter—carrying an extra person increases fuel use by about 10%, and long climbs consume more fuel. Engine maintenance is key too; regular oil changes and air filter replacements help save fuel and extend range. But always play it safe—keep a 50 km buffer to avoid being stranded without a gas station. For beginners, I recommend starting with short trips to gradually understand your bike's limits.

I usually commute and travel long distances by motorcycle, with a single-tank range of approximately 250 to 350 kilometers, depending on the bike. For example, my 250cc street bike has a 12-liter fuel tank with a fuel consumption of 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can easily last 300 kilometers. Practical riding experience tells me that city traffic congestion increases fuel consumption, reducing the range to 250 kilometers, while maintaining a steady speed on highways can extend it to 350 kilometers. Temperature also has a significant impact—better tire pressure and cooling in summer can slightly increase the range. I make it a habit to refuel every 200 kilometers for safety and peace of mind. When riding a motorcycle, it’s essential to keep an eye on the fuel gauge and not wait until the warning light comes on. This practice has saved me from several awkward roadside situations—it’s both practical and reassuring.

Safety comes first when riding a motorcycle, and it's important to keep the distance covered in one trip within a reasonable range. My 150cc bike has a 10-liter fuel tank with a fuel consumption of 3 liters per 100 kilometers, so I usually stop after riding 270 kilometers. If I ride too fast or accelerate aggressively, the fuel consumption can spike to 4 liters, reducing the range to just 220 kilometers. Carrying a load over 20 kilograms makes it even worse, so I make sure to refuel promptly. I set up a reminder on my phone app to find a gas station when the remaining range drops below 200 kilometers. Don’t risk pushing the bike to save fuel—it’s bad for your health and can cause unnecessary trouble.

Should a U-turn yield to straight-going traffic or vice versa?

U-turn should yield to straight-going traffic. Theoretically, straight-going traffic has the highest right of way, so whether turning or making a U-turn, one must yield to straight-going vehicles first. Below are relevant details: Intersections with U-turn signs: Intersections marked with U-turn signs definitely allow U-turns, but they should be made based on actual conditions without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections with U-turn signals: Simply follow the signal instructions and make the U-turn in the designated lane. Locations with early U-turn openings: Many roads have dedicated left-turn or U-turn lanes before reaching the intersection. Drivers should activate the left turn signal in advance and make the U-turn without affecting other normally moving vehicles.

What is the Difference Between Wet and Dry Transmissions?

Here are the specific differences between dry and wet transmissions in automobiles: 1. Medium: The working principles of dry and wet transmissions are fundamentally the same, both utilizing two clutches for alternating operation. The difference lies in the medium connecting the driving and driven discs. Wet dual-clutch transmissions primarily rely on oil, whereas dry dual-clutch transmissions mainly depend on air. 2. Basic structure: The two sets of clutch plates in a wet clutch are housed in a sealed oil chamber, with the heat absorbed by the transmission oil that soaks the clutch plates. In contrast, the friction plates of a dry clutch do not have a sealed oil chamber and rely on air cooling for heat dissipation.

What is the fuel consumption of the Yamaha FZ125?

Yamaha FZ125 has a fuel consumption of around 2L. With good driving habits and road conditions, it is common to see the fuel consumption drop to around 1.5L. Here are the details: Relationship with vehicle type: The fuel consumption of a motorcycle is also related to its positioning. For example, a 125cc underbone model typically has lower fuel consumption compared to other models in the same class. However, a 125cc scooter model, which uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT), may have different fuel consumption. Relationship with the engine: The fuel consumption of an EFI scooter is generally above 2L, while a carburetor scooter model consumes more than 2.5L per 100 kilometers. This difference mainly comes from the engine's working method, and the engine's performance itself also has a certain impact on fuel consumption.

What height is suitable for a motorcycle with an 820mm seat height?

An 820mm seat height motorcycle is suitable for riders who are 180cm tall. Below is a motorcycle seat height to rider height reference table: Motorcycles with a 700mm seat height: suitable for riders 160cm tall. Motorcycles with a 770mm seat height: suitable for riders 170cm tall. Motorcycles with an 810mm seat height: suitable for riders 180cm tall. Riders shorter than 160cm: recommended to ride scooters. Additional notes: Motorcycle seat height is generally related to the model type. Cruisers typically have seat heights of 720-770mm, street bikes 770-800mm, adventure bikes 800-900mm, and off-road bikes around 900mm. Different manufacturers may vary seat heights based on design. Riders who are 165cm tall can ride cruisers and street bikes with seat heights around 770mm. Some adventure bikes have adjustable seat heights, and shorter seat height options are also available.

Reasons for Abnormal Noises in the Front of the Car After Turning Off the Engine

Reasons for abnormal noises in the front of the car after turning off the engine are as follows: 1. Uneven engine cooling causing noise: After driving for a period of time, the engine temperature is high. After turning off the engine, the temperature of various components decreases, and thermal expansion and contraction cannot occur uniformly, creating gaps between metal parts inside the engine. Friction during cooling contraction produces noise. In such cases, it is recommended not to turn off the engine immediately after parking; wait for a while. If abnormal noises persist after following this method, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection. 2. For turbocharged cars, it could also be the sound of the turbo cooling: Under normal circumstances, the exhaust gas temperature reaches 600-700°C, accelerating the rapid rotation of the turbo and generating friction heat. After turning off the engine, thermal expansion and contraction are also very noticeable, resulting in abnormal noises.
