For the first six years after a motorcycle is registered, it is exempt from inspection. After six years, it must be inspected annually. During the first six years of exemption, you only need to collect the inspection decal in the second, fourth, and fifth years. New regulations on vehicle inspection frequency: For new vehicles, inspections are required every two years for the first six years, and annually thereafter. The inspection date corresponds to the month of the vehicle's registration. Additionally, if the scheduled time is inconvenient, inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance without affecting the next inspection date. Given that most people tend to schedule inspections at the end of the month, leading to congestion, it is advisable to prepare early and schedule inspections at the beginning of the month. Documents required for vehicle inspection: Vehicle registration certificate, copy of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, inspector's ID card, warning triangle, and fire extinguisher.

Just helped a friend with his motorcycle's annual inspection the other day, and the regulations are quite hassle-free. New motorcycles don't need an on-site inspection for the first 6 years, but remember to apply for the inspection decal via the Traffic Management 12123 app in the 2nd and 4th years. At the 6-year mark, you'll need to ride the bike to the inspection station for a full check-up, covering everything from the chassis to lights and brakes. Then, another on-site inspection is required at the 10-year mark. For bikes older than 10 years, annual inspections are mandatory. My colleague's 125cc cross bike missed its 7th-year inspection and got fined 200 yuan on the road, with no insurance coverage for the incident. It's best to keep track of the key milestones—especially the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 10th years—to avoid any issues.

As a seasoned motorcycle rider with over a decade of experience, I know the vehicle inspection cycle inside out. For new bikes, just remember two key milestones in the first ten years: the 6th and 10th years require an on-site inspection at the testing station. The 2nd and 4th years are hassle-free—just claim your inspection sticker via mobile app. After ten years, annual inspections kick in. Last year when I went for inspection, I just brought my vehicle license and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy—cost me about 100 yuan and took half an hour. Important reminder for modified bikes: added auxiliary lights or altered exhaust systems may fail inspection, so remove them beforehand to avoid trouble.

How to Start as a Used Car Broker for Beginners?

You need to be able to identify whether it's an accident-involved vehicle, as such cars are tricky in the current market—handling them poorly could lead to losses. At the very least, you should be able to inspect the car's condition by looking, smelling, and listening. Sellers will naturally first inquire about the price of their car from the broker. At this point, the broker should absolutely avoid rushing to lower the price.

How to Drive on a Highway with Only 2 Lanes?

Before entering the highway, the car owner must go to a repair shop or 4S store to check whether the vehicle's condition is normal and whether the tire pressure is normal. The speed should not be too fast, but also not too slow, because there are maximum and minimum speed limits on the highway, and you cannot change lanes back and forth. You cannot always drive on the left side, because the left lane is for overtaking and cannot be used continuously; it should only be used when overtaking.

Where is the Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 located?

The Altima air-fuel ratio sensor 1b1 is located above the three-way catalytic converter, with the V6 engine B1 air-fuel ratio sensor positioned on the left side. Since the three-way catalyst's purification capacity for CO, HC, and NOx drops sharply once the air-fuel ratio of the mixture deviates from the theoretical value, an oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust. It then sends feedback signals to the ECU, which in turn adjusts the fuel injection volume from the injectors, thereby maintaining the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value.
