Qualified and up-to-standard brake fluids of the same quality grade can be mixed. For example, DOT4 brake fluids from major brands can be mixed. However, if using a low-quality brake fluid like DOT3 and switching to a high-quality DOT4 brake fluid, the original brake fluid must be completely drained. Brake fluids of different quality grades should not be mixed. Automotive brake fluid has the following characteristics: Characteristic one: Automotive brake fluid has a very low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity under low-temperature conditions. Characteristic two: Automotive brake fluid has an extremely high boiling point, preventing vapor lock under high-temperature conditions.

What is the fuel consumption of the Jinjila?

The fuel consumption of the Jinjila 300 is approximately 3.2L, but there are many factors that affect motorcycle fuel consumption, so the actual fuel consumption varies from bike to bike.

Is the Tire Ruined After Driving a Distance Without Air?

Not necessarily. However, it is not recommended to continue driving with low tire pressure. The specific consequences are as follows: Consequences: Driving with insufficient air pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, which generates high heat. The inner liner rubber may burn into black spots, leading to separation between the rubber and the tire cord fabric. In more severe cases, the inner liner rubber may melt due to high heat, causing structural damage to the tire. Safety Hazards: Continuing to drive with weakened tire strength may eventually lead to tire failure or even a blowout, posing significant safety risks.
