What Items Need to Be Replaced for Motorcycle Maintenance?

Motorcycle maintenance requires the replacement of engine oil, engine oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, etc. Compared to car maintenance, motorcycle maintenance is much simpler. It is recommended to perform regular maintenance during the use of the motorcycle to extend its service life. More details are as follows: 1. Engine oil is referred to as the blood of the engine. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate normally. When the engine is running, the engine oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components inside the engine, preventing direct contact and friction between these parts. 2. If the components inside the engine directly contact and cause friction, a large amount of heat will be generated instantly, which can be fatal to the engine.

How to eliminate the warning light on the car?

Generally, when the car's warning light comes on, it cannot be manually eliminated. Usually, you need to go to a 4S shop to use a fault detector for troubleshooting before it can be eliminated. Generally speaking, there are two situations when the engine warning light comes on: 1. A yellow symbol light indicates that the engine has a fault, but this fault does not affect the normal operation of the engine. However, it must be inspected and repaired; 2. A red symbol light indicates that the engine has a serious fault. Under normal circumstances, it needs to be reported for repair immediately. If you are in a special road condition, you can drive in an emergency, but you need to pay attention to the working state of the engine at all times. If the water temperature is too high or the oil pressure warning light comes on, and you clearly feel that the vehicle has a fault, you should pull over immediately and call the repair station for rescue to avoid affecting the performance of the engine. The vehicle warning light is mostly caused by the fuel emission system. When the warning light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times, then start the vehicle again to observe whether the warning light is still on. If it is still on, you need to go to the shop in time to check the fault code to determine whether it is an engine problem or a sensor fault.

Is a 3-month-old car considered a stock vehicle?

A 3-month-old car is considered a stock vehicle. The so-called "stock vehicle" generally refers to a car that has been manufactured and left the factory for more than 3 months but still hasn't been sold. Since the automobile manufacturing industry places great emphasis on timeliness, under normal circumstances, the process from manufacturing to selling a new car to the buyer is usually completed within one or two months. It is rare for this process to exceed 3 months or half a year. If dealers can properly handle stock vehicles, such as periodically starting the vehicle, regularly cleaning the stock car, charging the battery at regular intervals, and moving the vehicle frequently, then even vehicles stocked for more than a year can maintain good condition. Such cars can also be considered for purchase. Precautions for purchasing stock vehicles: Check the vehicle's manufacturing nameplate: Before inspecting other areas, first check the manufacturing nameplate of the car (usually located on the inner side of the driver's door or in the engine compartment). Inspect the paint and rubber seals: If the stock vehicle is dirty, you can request the 4S store to clean it before inspection, as small scratches on the body will be more visible after cleaning. Most minor scratches come from abrasions during transportation. Then, inspect the rubber seals on the doors and the rubber strips on the windshield wipers, as rubber is prone to aging. Check the chassis: The inspection of the vehicle's chassis is often overlooked. Bend down to observe whether the shock absorbers have oil leakage, whether the exhaust pipe and muffler have severe rust, and also carefully inspect lower components such as the lower control arms and oil pan for any signs of collision or bottoming out. This is because during the process of dispatching new cars, 4S stores may accidentally damage the vehicle's chassis due to operational issues.
