Clock spring is also called airbag spiral cable. Clock Spring: Also known as rotary connector, airbag spiral cable, or spiral cable, it is used to connect the main airbag to the airbag wiring harness, or the steering wheel switch buttons to the control unit's wiring harness. Essentially, it is a segment of wiring harness. Function of the Clock Spring: It is generally installed above the combination switch under the vehicle's steering wheel or on the column sheet metal. It mainly consists of flexible flat cables, relatively rotating shells, wiring harness (conductive leads), connectors, and neutral pins, among other components. During the left and right rotation of the steering wheel, it ensures the normal electrical connection of the driver's front airbag, horn switch, and other electrical components.

What is the original tire of the ninja400?

The original tire of the ninja400 is the GPR300. Here is an introduction to the ninja400 (Ninja 400): 1. Appearance: It looks very similar to the 650 and appears very sporty. 2. Frame: The Ninja 400 has undergone changes based on the H2 construction. It features a front main frame + engine section + rear subframe structure, somewhat resembling Ducati's frame design approach, where the engine becomes part of the frame. This makes the frame lighter and stronger, significantly improving the Ninja 400. 3. Rear swingarm and frame connection: Generally, small bikes use a cradle frame, connected to the engine transmission section via a through-shaft. If the rear swingarm is too strong, it won't affect the frame's strength, but if the rear swingarm isn't strong enough, the frame may appear weak. The Ninja 400 adds an aluminum connecting plate between the rear swingarm and the frame, greatly enhancing the connection strength between the rear swingarm and the engine.

What is the difference between start-stop batteries and regular batteries?

The differences between start-stop batteries and regular batteries are: 1. Different appearance: Start-stop batteries have dedicated markings on their appearance, while regular batteries do not have special symbols. Start-stop batteries are also called maintenance-free batteries, and currently, they are generally divided into two types: AGM and EFB, each with different dedicated symbols. 2. Different lifespan and capacity: Start-stop batteries can be used more times and have a longer lifespan than regular batteries. Their plates are harder than those of regular batteries, and the active material is less prone to falling off. They are suitable for cars with start-stop mode. The start-stop function can be set to default off by reprogramming the ECU and needs to be manually activated to take effect. Start-stop batteries are manufactured using stamping processes, which require higher technical standards. However, start-stop batteries have larger capacities and can charge and discharge quickly. Ordinary lead-acid batteries cannot discharge large currents multiple times in a short period, and their separators cannot allow ions to pass through quickly.

Why does a motorcycle stall when it encounters water?

Motorcycle stalling when encountering water can be attributed to the following reasons: Engine overheating: Excessive temperature leads to poor lubrication, causing the piston and cylinder to seize, which can also result in stalling. The signs before stalling include a gradual decrease in power followed by a sudden stop. After diagnosis, the first step is to check whether there is lubricating oil in the crankcase. If the oil level is low or absent, inspect the oil pan or drain plug for leaks. Once the issue is identified and resolved, refill with the specified lubricating oil. If the problem is not due to oil leakage, check whether the lubricating oil is excessively depleted and replenish or replace it promptly. Fuel supply failure: In this case, you may feel a gradual loss of power before the motorcycle stalls and eventually stops on its own. Assuming the fuel tank has fuel, check whether the carburetor contains fuel. If there is no fuel, it indicates a blockage in the fuel line from the tank to the carburetor, which should be cleaned and unclogged.

Does the driving school exam reservation application mean the reservation is successful?

No, it means the reservation application has been successfully submitted. About two days before the scheduled exam date, the vehicle management office will send an SMS notification confirming whether the exam reservation was successful. Currently, there are still a few days left before the scheduled reservation date, so the status remains 'under processing'. When students apply for an exam reservation, they need to submit a (mobile) verification code. After completing the reservation process, the system will display a 'Submission Successful' message. However, this 'Submission Successful' only indicates that the reservation application has been successfully submitted, not that the exam reservation itself is confirmed. By the reservation deadline, students will receive an SMS notification stating either 'Reservation Successful' or 'Reservation Failed', which will be the final confirmation of their exam eligibility. If the exam reservation quota has not been fully booked, the reservation deadline is 3 working days before the exam date, and the reservation results will be announced accordingly. If the quota is already full, the deadline is 5 working days before the exam date, with results announced then. Students can only re-select an exam time and venue for a new reservation if their initial reservation fails or is canceled.

Why Won't Diesel Locomotives Be Phased Out?

Compared to electric locomotives, the greatest advantage of diesel locomotives is their strong environmental adaptability—they can run as long as the railway is in good condition. Therefore, diesel locomotives can serve as an emergency reserve. In cases of severe weather like freezing rain or snow, where the power system fails and electric locomotives cannot operate, diesel locomotives are needed to step in. Relevant information about diesel locomotives is as follows: 1. Introduction: A diesel locomotive is a type of locomotive that uses an internal combustion engine as its primary power source, driving the wheels through a transmission device. Based on the type of fuel used in the engine, the vast majority of diesel locomotives used on railways in China are equipped with diesel engines. 2. Working Principle: Fuel (diesel) is burned within the cylinders, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy output by the diesel crankshaft. However, this energy is not used to directly drive the wheels. Instead, it is converted through a transmission device into mechanical energy suitable for the traction characteristics required by the locomotive, which then drives the locomotive's wheels to rotate on the tracks via the running gear.

How Many Years Until a Two-Wheeled Motorcycle is Scrapped?

In China, the service life of a two-wheeled motorcycle is set at 10 years, which can be extended by 3 years. However, during the 3-year extension period, an annual inspection must be conducted every six months. The extension is only permitted if the inspection is passed, and the motorcycle must be forcibly scrapped after 13 years. Accumulated mileage of 100,000 kilometers: Light two-wheeled motorcycles, light three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with an accumulated mileage of 100,000 kilometers, as well as ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles with an accumulated mileage of 80,000 kilometers, must be scrapped. Additionally, light two-wheeled motorcycles, light three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with a service life of 10 years, and ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles with a service life of 9 years, must be scrapped. Service life reaches 10 years after registration: Owners of two-wheeled motorcycles and light two-wheeled motorcycles whose service life reaches 10 years after registration must complete the vehicle deregistration process with the local public security vehicle management department before the scrapping deadline.
