New motorcycles are exempt from inspection for the first six years after registration, and require annual inspections thereafter. During the six-year exemption period, owners only need to collect the inspection decal in the second, fourth, and fifth years respectively. Below is relevant information about motorcycles: Introduction: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also serves as sports equipment. Classification: Motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes, among others. Components: A motorcycle consists of five main parts: the engine, transmission system, running gear, steering and braking systems, and electrical instrumentation equipment.

I'm a motorcycle enthusiast who just got into the hobby last year and have specifically researched the annual inspection policies. Motorcycles purchased in 2021 are in luck! According to the new regulations, they don’t need to undergo on-site inspections for the first 6 years—just apply for an electronic inspection label every 2 years via the Traffic Management 12123 app. For example, if you bought your bike in 2021, you’ll simply need to request the label in 2023 and 2025 with a few taps, and only in 2027 will you need to visit an inspection station. A quick reminder: make sure to settle any traffic violations or accidents before applying, and ensure your compulsory traffic insurance is valid. This policy is especially friendly for touring riders, saving a lot of time spent waiting in line for inspections.

I usually enjoy studying traffic regulations, and there have been significant changes to the motorcycle inspection cycle this year. Motorcycles registered in 2021 now fall under the new vehicle category and enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection. However, it's important to note that in 2023 and 2025, you'll need to complete the inspection label application online, which can be done simply through a mobile app. Starting from the sixth year (2027), you'll have to obediently queue up at the inspection station. Additionally, friends who have modified their exhaust pipes should pay special attention, as tailpipe emissions are strictly checked during the inspection.

As a seasoned rider with ten years of motorcycle experience, here are the key points for new owners: In 2021, motorcycles only require online inspection decal collection every two years. Remember to check the registration date on your vehicle license. For example, if you purchased the bike in September, apply within the three months before the expiration month. The required materials are simple: an electronic insurance policy and cleared traffic violation records. A personal reminder: failing to collect the decal for over three inspection cycles will result in mandatory scrapping. I've personally witnessed beloved bikes being scrapped this way.

Does a car consume fuel when idling without moving?

Starting the car and idling without moving does consume fuel, as the internal components of the vehicle are in operation after ignition. Extended Information: The engine consists of 2 major mechanisms and 5 major systems: the crank-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, cooling system, fuel supply system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. However, diesel engines have one less system than gasoline engines - the ignition system. 1. Cooling System: Generally composed of the radiator, water pump, cooling fan, thermostat, water temperature gauge, and drain valve. Automobile engines employ two cooling methods: air cooling and water cooling. Most automotive engines utilize water cooling. 2. Lubrication System: The engine lubrication system consists of the oil pump, oil strainer, oil filter, oil passages, pressure relief valve, oil pressure gauge, pressure sensor, and dipstick.

Differences Between BMW 320i and 320li

The differences between the BMW 320i and 320li are as follows: The BMW 320i is the standard wheelbase version, while the BMW 320li is the long wheelbase version. These two models have different wheelbases, with the long wheelbase version offering more rear passenger space. The wheelbase of the BMW 320i is 2851 mm, while that of the 320li is 2961 mm. The BMW 3 Series is a B-segment sedan under the BMW brand. Production location: The 320li is domestically produced, while the 320i is imported. Dimensions: The body lengths differ. The 320i measures 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, whereas the 320li measures 4829mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1463mm in height. Top speed and 0-100 km/h acceleration: The 320li has a top speed of 226 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.1 seconds. The 320i has a top speed of 222 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds. Exterior styling: The 320li features more chrome trim elements. Wheelbase: The BMW 320li is the extended version, with both the body length and wheelbase increased by 110mm. Long-wheelbase models are derived from standard-wheelbase versions. The longer wheelbase provides a more spacious and comfortable interior, as well as a more imposing appearance, but sacrifices some of the handling agility of the standard wheelbase. In terms of handling performance, a shorter wheelbase results in a more compact body, smaller turning radius, and better obstacle-crossing capability, thus offering superior and more agile handling. Handling consists of three main components: the accuracy of the steering wheel and steering system, the support of the chassis and suspension system, and the engine power and transmission logic. However, the difference between short and long wheelbases is generally not noticeable for average drivers.

Why Doesn't the Lincoln Navigator Hold Its Value?

The reasons for its poor value retention: This American luxury flagship vehicle is sufficiently large in size, but tariffs are not calculated based on the vehicle's dimensions. Instead, taxes are directly calculated according to the engine displacement. Additionally, since the car is imported from Canada, there is no need for additional tariff increases. The vehicle itself uses a Ford Ecoboost 3.5T turbocharged engine, which has a large displacement but is not as high as the BMW 750's 4.0T or the Audi A8's 4.0T versions. However, the price of the BMW 750 is not significantly higher than that of the Lincoln Navigator, which clearly indicates that the pricing of this car does not match its actual product capabilities.

Why was the Tiguan X discontinued?

Tiguan X's discontinuation is a measure taken by Volkswagen to further enhance product competitiveness. Although discontinued, it is still officially available for sale. As SAIC Volkswagen's first mid-size SUV, the Tiguan gained popularity immediately after its launch in 2017, with sales reaching 174,800 units in the first 11 months. The solutions for the Tiguan 1.8T's oil burning issue are as follows: Use high-quality engine oil: Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubricating the engine, as well as cleaning, cooling, and temperature regulation. If the vehicle exhibits minor oil burning, using high-quality engine oil is recommended. If conditions permit, semi-synthetic or full-synthetic oil can be used. Clean the fuel system: Carbon buildup is a common phenomenon during engine operation. Severe carbon buildup can hinder piston movement, damage piston rings, and affect sealing, leading to oil burning. Cleaning the fuel system can help alleviate carbon buildup and prevent oil burning.
