Air filter replacement intervals depend on the motorcycle type. Generally, underbone and standard motorcycles have air filters that don't get dirty easily, requiring cleaning approximately every 10,000 kilometers. In dustier environments, the maintenance interval can be appropriately shortened. Scooter air filters are more prone to dust accumulation, typically needing inspection and cleaning every 2,000 kilometers, which coincides with oil changes. Here are some motorcycle maintenance tips: 1. Oil change: New motorcycles should have their first oil change at 300-500 kilometers, the second at 1,000 kilometers, and subsequently every 2,000 kilometers. 2. Gear oil: Only scooters require gear oil, which should be replaced after the break-in period; subsequent changes are optional.

How Often Should a Car Throttle Body Be Cleaned?

Car throttle bodies should be cleaned every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine, often metaphorically referred to as the engine's "throat." After air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. The depth of the accelerator pedal pressed by the driver determines the throttle opening, which in turn controls the engine's power output and responsiveness. There are two methods for cleaning the throttle body: non-removal cleaning and removal cleaning. Non-removal cleaning involves spraying throttle body cleaner onto a cloth or directly onto the throttle body, followed by wiping it clean. Removal cleaning requires detaching the entire throttle body assembly, thoroughly cleaning it with specialized cleaner, and then reinstalling it.

Can Rearview Mirror Heating Be Installed Later?

Rearview mirror heating function can be installed later, but the wiring must comply with safety standards and should not affect other safety-related circuits. Here is relevant information: 1. The exterior rearview mirror heating function is used when the mirrors frost or freeze in winter. Simply press the rear window defroster switch (usually a button on the dashboard) to activate the heating. The mirrors will automatically turn off upon reaching a certain temperature, quickly melting frost or ice for driver convenience. 2. This feature ensures clear mirror surfaces during rain, snow, or fog by heating through wires embedded behind the mirror glass.

Will There Be Compensation If a Car Is Recalled Due to Issues?

There are no explicit national regulations requiring manufacturers to compensate consumers, so only repairs and replacements can be provided for the vehicles. Car recalls fall into the following two scenarios: 1. The car manufacturer voluntarily recalls the vehicles. If defects exist due to design or manufacturing issues, failing to comply with relevant regulations and standards, which may lead to safety or environmental concerns, the manufacturer must promptly report the product issues, the causes, and improvement measures to the relevant national authorities. They must then apply for a recall and, upon approval, modify the affected vehicles to eliminate potential hazards. 2. If the vehicle issues are significant, posing safety risks, and have been frequently reported by consumers, drawing attention from the relevant authorities, the state may mandate the manufacturer to recall the cars.
