Tire mirror installation requires professional assistance as it involves wiring modifications, and the process is relatively complex. Incorrect installation may cause secondary damage to the vehicle. Tire mirrors feature a 360-degree design, eliminating blind spots in the field of vision. They allow drivers to see the distance between the front/rear wheels and obstacles, preventing tire contact during reversing.

Tires are crucial automotive components that directly contact the road surface. Working in conjunction with the suspension system, they absorb shocks during driving to ensure optimal ride comfort and smooth operation. Tire specifications include: imperial, German, metric, and US standards.

A few days ago, I installed tire mirrors by myself, and it was quite simple. As an ordinary car enthusiast who likes to tinker with cars, I'd like to share my experience: The first step is to clean the surface of the rearview mirror. Use alcohol wipes to remove grease and dust, ensuring a strong adhesion. Then, choose the position—usually stick it at the corner of the rearview mirror, not too low to block the main line of sight. I stuck mine at the top-left corner, which perfectly covers the tire blind spot. When attaching it, use the included double-sided tape and press firmly for several seconds to secure it. If it's a clip-on design, it's even more convenient—just clip it onto the edge of the rearview mirror. After installation, I tested it a few times while reversing and could easily see around the wheels, preventing scratches—it really improved safety and saved me hundreds of dollars in repair shop fees. I recommend beginners keep a few spare mirror pieces on hand.

What are the speeds for gears 1-6 on a motorcycle?

First gear has a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, second gear 20 kilometers per hour, third gear 30 kilometers per hour, fourth gear 40 kilometers per hour, fifth gear can reach 60 kilometers per hour, and if the speed exceeds 60 kilometers per hour, then sixth gear can be used. Motorcycle engines generally have a relatively economical RPM range, and it is sufficient to keep the engine within this economical RPM range when shifting gears. Here are some related introductions about motorcycles: 1. Motorcycles are a very common means of transportation. They are relatively lightweight and flexible, making them very suitable for driving on congested urban roads. 2. Long range: Motorcycles have strong power, and their range is longer than that of ordinary electric vehicles, which is why they are very popular among many consumers. Most ordinary motorcycles are relatively inexpensive, and the later repair and maintenance costs are also relatively low. 3. Fluids that need to be replaced regularly on motorcycles: These include engine oil and coolant. 4. Wear parts that need to be replaced regularly: These include spark plugs, brake pads, brake discs, tires, etc.

How often should transmission fluid be changed and how many liters are needed?

Transmission fluid should be changed every 2 to 3 years or 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, requiring 5 to 6 liters. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. Keeping the shifting system clean; 2. Lubricating the transmission components. Signs that transmission fluid needs to be changed include: 1. Vehicle shaking and rough gear shifting; 2. Transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; 3. Engine stalling; 4. Unusual noises. The functions of an automotive transmission are: 1. Changing the gear ratio; 2. Expanding the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. Allowing the vehicle to move in reverse; 4. Facilitating gear shifting or power output. Methods for maintaining an automotive transmission include: 1. Regularly checking the fluid level; 2. Avoiding skipping gears when upshifting; 3. Not forcing the transmission into neutral; 4. Not shortening the warm-up idling time; 5. Avoiding gear grinding when shifting.
