As a seasoned motorcyclist with over 20 years of riding experience, I know the Honda CB400 is a classic street bike. In China, it's virtually impossible to find new models through official channels because this bike doesn't meet the current China VI emission standards, and Honda's domestic joint ventures like Wuyang-Honda mainly promote small-displacement models such as the CB190. However, you could try parallel imports by sourcing from dealerships in Hong Kong or Southeast Asia, though be prepared for heavy taxes and difficult maintenance. I recommend checking second-hand listings on platforms like Autohome, or considering other Honda alternatives like the CBR300R, which offers reliable performance and peace of mind. Remember, authorities strictly enforce license plate regulations for non-compliant vehicles, so don't waste your money.

I'm also a huge fan of motorcycles, especially the design of the CB400. After checking around, it's true that official stores in China don't sell it, mainly because environmental regulations strictly limit emissions. Online forums like Motorcycle Fans mention that a few enthusiasts import them from Japan through parallel channels, but shipping costs and tariffs add up to a hefty price, and maintenance can't be done at authorized shops. I think it's better to just go for Honda's popular models in China, like the 190 series—they're affordable and practical. If you're really keen on the hassle, the second-hand market occasionally has good finds, but be careful to inspect the bike to avoid scams.

What causes a red light flashing inside the car?

The flashing red light inside the car is an indicator light for the activated vehicle anti-theft function. Here is an introduction to car anti-theft locks: 1. Car anti-theft system: It refers to a system designed to prevent the theft of the car itself or items inside the car. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuit, alarm device, and actuators. 2. The earliest car door locks were mechanical locks: They were only used to prevent car doors from opening automatically while driving to avoid accidents, serving only for driving safety and not for anti-theft purposes. With social progress, the development of science and technology, and the continuous increase in car ownership, later manufactured cars and trucks were equipped with key-operated door locks. These locks only control one door, while other doors are opened or locked using the door lock buttons on the interior door panels.

What does 'Battery Discharge, Please Start the Engine' mean?

Battery discharge prompting engine start usually indicates battery aging or insufficient charge storage. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, functioning as a DC power source. Its primary roles are: providing strong starting current (approximately 10A) to the starter motor during engine ignition, and assisting the generator in powering electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded. 2. Key factors affecting battery lifespan include: vehicle condition, road conditions, and driving habits. Generally, newer vehicles preserve batteries better due to more efficient motors. For older vehicles, especially after major component replacements like starter motors or generators, battery failure becomes more common because most owners opt for non-OEM replacement parts given the significant price difference between genuine and refurbished components in the market.

How to Set Up Automatic Car Door Locking?

Automatic locking can be set up as follows: 1. Put the gear in the P position. 2. Turn the key to the ON position with all four doors closed. 3. Press the lock button (hold for 6 seconds). 4. Observe the hazard warning lights on the dashboard flash twice. 5. The automatic locking activation is now complete. Speed-sensing automatic locking, also known as automatic locking while driving, is an electronic device that automatically presses the door lock button when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental opening of the doors. This means that when the vehicle reaches a certain preset speed, the doors will automatically lock. The preset speed is usually set by the manufacturer, typically between 10-20 km/h.

What is the biggest problem with flood-damaged cars?

Flood-damaged cars are generally categorized into three levels: water-soaked cars, water-logged cars, and fully submerged cars. Water-soaked cars suffer minimal damage to the vehicle body, as a small amount of water entering the interior typically does not cause significant harm. Water-logged cars, where the water level reaches the waistline of the vehicle, usually experience corrosion to the electronic wiring, engine compartment, and interior. Although these cars can be repaired and used again, they pose significant hidden dangers. Fully submerged cars, where the water level exceeds the roof, can only be scrapped. Fully submerged cars are further divided into three scenarios: water level above the exhaust pipe but below half-wheel height, water level exactly at half-wheel height, and water level above half-wheel height. Generally, water reaching half-wheel height can already affect the car. Below is a detailed explanation: Water level above the exhaust pipe: If the water only covers the exhaust pipe, simply move the car away promptly. Water in the exhaust pipe will not be sucked back into the engine, and engine stalling is primarily due to water entering the engine's intake system, unrelated to the exhaust pipe being submerged. Water level exactly at half-wheel height: If the water reaches exactly half-wheel height, the car usually will not leak. However, if the car remains submerged for an extended period and the sealing strips have aged, leakage may occur. In such cases, drive the car to a 4S shop, dismantle the interior, and clean and dry it. Water level above half-wheel height: If the water exceeds half-wheel height, the engine may take in water, and the interior may also leak. Under no circumstances should the engine be started to avoid damage to the engine or electronic components. Additionally, if the car is submerged and starting it causes damage, the insurance company will not cover the costs.

Can idling the engine charge the car battery?

Idling the engine can charge the car battery. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. The battery can be charged as long as the vehicle is running: The generator will automatically charge the battery at idle speed. The charging power after successful startup can not only charge the battery but also continuously supply power to other electrical loads in the vehicle. During idling, the voltage output by the rectifier regulator is generally above 13 volts. 2. As long as the voltage output by the rectifier regulator is higher than the battery voltage: The battery will be in a charging state. The input voltage of the rectifier regulator is determined by the generator, and the generator will generate electricity as long as it rotates. Without considering the excitation control, the output voltage of the generator is directly proportional to its rotational speed. 3. The rotational speed of the generator: Depends on the engine speed. Although the speed is low during the startup phase and the generator's output voltage is relatively low, the generator will always have voltage output. As long as this voltage is above a certain value, it will continuously charge the battery.

Summary of Micrometer Usage Steps?

The steps for using a micrometer are as follows: 1. A is to clean the micrometer's body and anvil; B is to then calibrate the micrometer to the zero line; C is to place the measured part between the two working surfaces, adjust the thimble until the working surfaces are about to contact the measured part, then adjust the measuring force device until three "click, click, click" sounds are heard before stopping. 2. The integer part of the measured value should be read on the main scale (determined by the position of the thimble (auxiliary scale) end face relative to the upper line on the main scale), and the decimal part should be read on the thimble and the fixed sleeve (main scale) lower line. (When the lower line appears, the decimal value = 0.5 + the reading on the thimble; when the lower line does not appear, the decimal value = the reading on the thimble. Thus, the entire measured value = integer value + decimal value: A. 0.5 + thimble reading (lower line appears) B. Thimble reading (lower line does not appear).
