According to the tire brand, run-flat tires can be identified by special symbols following the specifications on the tire sidewall. Pirelli's run-flat symbol is R-F. Additional information is as follows: 1. Meaning of run-flat tires: Run-flat tires are technically called "Run-Flat System Tires," with the English abbreviation RSC. The inflated tire sidewall is the main part supporting the vehicle's weight, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very "thick." 2. Advantages of run-flat tires: In the event of an impact or overheating causing a blowout during high-speed driving, they can still allow the vehicle to continue driving for a certain distance rather than exploding immediately.

What should be noted when replacing an external fuel filter?

When replacing an external fuel filter, the following precautions should be taken: Before replacement, depressurize the fuel system: The fuel system has internal pressure, and this pressure is quite high. If the fuel filter is removed without depressurizing the system, it may cause fuel to spray onto the body. Pay attention to the installation direction of the filter: When installing an external fuel filter, pay attention to the filter's connections, which usually have 2 or 3 ports. If there are 2 ports, one is connected to the fuel tank (inlet), and the other is the outlet. If there are 3 ports, there will be an additional port on the outlet side, which connects to the return line. The fuel filter will also have an arrow indicating the direction of fuel flow. Inspection of fuel system components: Components to be inspected include fuel lines and the fuel tank. Fuel lines play a role in transporting fuel within the system. If deformation or fuel leakage is found, they should be replaced promptly.

Can a motorcycle battery still be used after being left unused for a year?

Motorcycle batteries cannot be used after being left unused for a year. Avoid storing in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to when the battery is not recharged promptly after use. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage will be. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its service life. Regular inspection is necessary: During use, if the electric bike's range suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period, it is highly likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken cells, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to a short circuit. In such cases, it is advisable to promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement.

Why Is the Clutch of a Manual Transmission Car Stiff?

Manual transmission car clutch stiffness may be caused by clutch plate, clutch pressure plate, release bearing failure, or clutch master/slave cylinder malfunction. Clutch function: As the component directly connected to the engine in the automotive transmission system, it handles the engagement and disengagement of power and the transmission system. This ensures smooth vehicle starting, seamless gear shifting, and prevents transmission system overload. Friction clutch: Refers to a clutch that transmits torque through friction between driving and driven components. Widely used in modern vehicles. Hydraulic coupling: Refers to a clutch using fluid as transmission medium. Previously used in automatic transmissions, now rarely employed in automobiles. Electromagnetic clutch: Refers to a clutch operating through magnetic transmission, such as those used in air conditioning systems.

What speed should the engine run at 2000 RPM?

When the engine is at 2000 RPM, the vehicle speed can generally reach around 80 km/h. Of course, the engine speed and vehicle speed are not in a one-to-one correspondence, as it also depends on the current gear, which is the transmission ratio. For new cars, the engine speed should not exceed 3000 RPM: Both excessively low and high RPMs are detrimental to engine break-in. The break-in period is divided into the initial, middle, and final stages, which is the process of forming an oxide protective film on internal engine components. Therefore, the quality of the break-in period directly affects the engine's lifespan in the long run. Generally, the first 500 km is the initial break-in period: It is advisable to keep the speed below 80 km/h and the RPM below 2200. The tire break-in period is 300 km, and since new tires lack optimal friction, driving should be cautious during this time.
