Exposing a motorcycle to direct sunlight can cause harm. Here are some relevant maintenance tips for motorcycles: 1. Keep flammable and explosive items away: Avoid placing flammable or explosive items in areas where the motorcycle is directly exposed to sunlight. Otherwise, under direct sunlight, these items can easily catch fire or explode, leading to the motorcycle catching fire, with unimaginable consequences. 2. Apply sunscreen to the paint: Prolonged exposure to the sun can affect the quality of the motorcycle's paint. High temperatures and UV rays can easily damage the surface paint. Whenever possible, park your motorcycle in a shaded area. After each ride, check for residues like insect glue or dust on the paint surface. Regular washing and waxing are essential. Additionally, applying a glaze is an excellent method for sun protection, akin to applying sunscreen to your motorcycle's paint. This prevents direct exposure of the paint to the elements and provides UV protection.

Can Carburetor Motorcycles Still Be Licensed?

Carburetor motorcycles can still be licensed. Below are the specific details regarding the new regulations: 1. China IV Motorcycle Standard: The China IV regulations impose stricter requirements on motorcycle exhaust emissions, which means traditional carburetor motorcycles will be phased out, while motorcycles using electronic fuel injection (EFI) technology will become the mainstream. These motorcycles not only meet the standards but are also more fuel-efficient than traditional carburetor models, and they start easily, making them very convenient to operate. 2. China III Motorcycles: Vehicles that have already been purchased and licensed can still be used normally. However, there are impacts on the resale of second-hand China III motorcycles, as it becomes difficult to process cross-regional transfers after licensing.
