When you need to slow down and downshift, first press the brake, then the clutch, and then downshift. Do not press anything, just shift to neutral. Coasting in neutral is highly dangerous, especially on downhill mountain roads. First press the clutch, downshift, and press the accelerator. While releasing the clutch, give a slight press on the accelerator to keep the car descending smoothly and transitioning without any shaking or jerking sensation.

What Causes Strong Jerking When Closing the Throttle on a Motorcycle?

There are three main reasons for strong jerking when closing the throttle on a motorcycle: Spark plug carbon deposits: This may be due to carbon buildup on the spark plug, leading to excessive resistance between the electrodes and preventing continuous ignition (normal operation resumes after carbon deposits fall off). Faulty high-voltage cap or ignition coil: The issue may stem from a malfunctioning high-voltage cap or ignition coil, causing intermittent ignition. If not replaced promptly, the problem will recur. Slide carburetor: A slide carburetor may cause fuel supply interruption during rapid throttle opening. Additionally, riding a motorcycle in cold winter conditions with slippery roads increases the risk of accidents.

How Thick Should Jumper Cables Be?

Automobile jumper cables have specifications based on wire gauge, measured in square millimeters. For general household sedans, it is recommended to use copper cables with an outer diameter of 10mm or larger. Selection should be based on the vehicle's displacement: Do not randomly choose jumper cables as improper usage can easily damage the battery. The vehicle's displacement determines the appropriate jumper cables; one should not opt for cheap, unverified quality cables. Selection should also consider the car battery's current: The higher the current, the thicker the jumper cables needed. Using cables that are too thin may lead to current leakage, which not only harms the battery but also increases safety risks.

Is the motorcycle choke switch in the upward position for on or off?

The motorcycle choke switch in the upward position is on, which is used to assist in starting the motorcycle, while the downward position closes the choke. The working principle of the motorcycle choke has the following two points: The choke, also known as the air choke, operates on two principles: one is to reduce the amount of air entering, and the other is to increase the amount of gasoline entering. Both aim to enrich the air-fuel mixture, making it easier to start the engine when cold. The function of the motorcycle choke: The choke is a unique device in carburetor-type gasoline engines, which can adjust the concentration of the air-fuel mixture for easier starting. Under normal circumstances, it should be kept in the open position.

Can the steering gear be repaired?

Steering gear can be repaired when it's broken. Reasons for repair: If the steering gear is damaged, it must be repaired. If it cannot be repaired, the entire assembly should be replaced directly, as this situation directly affects driving safety. Effects of a broken steering gear: After the steering gear is damaged, it may cause difficulty in steering, failure of power steering (meaning no power assist effect, making steering too heavy), steering gear jamming that prevents steering (the steering wheel becomes completely immobile), and indirectly may lead to abnormal tire wear. The steering gear assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required for steering.

The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, place the gear in the P or N position to turn off the engine.
