It is recommended to have a fallen interior rearview mirror repaired at a specialized 4S shop. Here are the details about rearview mirrors: 1. Interior Rearview Mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to check the rear view without significantly altering their forward line of sight while driving. 2. Exterior Rearview Mirror: Passenger vehicles generally mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors, while some domestic vehicles in Japan have them installed on the fenders. 3. Under-Mirror: This mirror enables the driver to see areas beyond the front and rear wheels beneath the car body from the driver's seat. It helps the driver spot people or obstacles near the wheels and the car body when reversing or starting forward, preventing injuries, damage to objects, and vehicle harm, thus providing convenience and safety to the driver.

Should Temporary License Plates Be Attached to Motorcycles?

Motorcycle temporary license plates must be attached to the vehicle. On March 6, 2014, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice regarding the implementation of the industry standard GA36-2014 "Motor Vehicle License Plates of the People's Republic of China." According to this standard and the requirements of GB7258-2012, motorcycles are only required to display a rear license plate and do not need a front license plate. This standard has been in effect since January 24, 2014. A temporary license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authority for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. Temporary license plates serve as transitional plates before the owner obtains the official license plate, and they hold the same legal validity as official plates. Once the official license plate is obtained, the temporary plate becomes invalid. Motorcycle license plate installation requirements: The license plate should be installed on the license plate bracket (frame) with the characters facing outward and in the correct orientation; reverse or upside-down installation is prohibited. The front license plate should be installed in the middle or slightly to the right of the front end of the vehicle, while the rear license plate should be installed in the middle or slightly to the left of the rear end, without affecting the safe operation of the vehicle or the identification of the license plate. The installation must ensure that the license plate is free from any deformation or obstruction, horizontally level, and vertically perpendicular to the ground, with a vertical angle not exceeding 15° (for motorcycle license plates, the upward tilt angle may not exceed 30°). All installation holes for the license plate should be fitted with motor vehicle license plate fastening devices that meet the GA804 requirements (the fastening devices should bear the "Gui*" mark), unless vehicle conditions prevent installation. When using a license plate frame for auxiliary installation, the inner edge of the frame should be more than 5mm away from the edge of the motor vehicle registration number characters, and the production serial identifier must not be obscured. There should be no other light sources around the license plate that may affect its identification.

Is 5000 Kilometers Considered High Mileage for a Motorcycle?

Motorcycle engines perform at their best between 6000 and 16000 kilometers, so 5000 kilometers is not considered high mileage. Below is an introduction to motorcycle engines and maintenance tips: Introduction to Motorcycle Engines: A motorcycle engine converts the thermal energy generated by igniting the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder into mechanical energy. The crankshaft then transmits this power through the transmission mechanism to the rear wheel, propelling the motorcycle forward. Due to their advantages such as light weight, compact size, low noise and vibration, easy starting, and low cost, gasoline engines are widely used as the power source for motorcycles. Engine Maintenance Tips: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of engine warning lights. All vehicles have a specific maintenance schedule. If the owner fails to adhere to this schedule and combines it with poor driving habits, the engine's operational burden increases, eventually triggering the warning light as a reminder to check the vehicle.
