The left side of a motorcycle is the rear brake. The maintenance methods for brakes are: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system, avoid brake pads from seizing due to high temperatures, and eliminate brake squeal; 2. Regularly replace brake fluid; 3. Clean the brake discs, brake drums, and any parts of oil stains, dirt, and friction dust to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 4. Regularly check the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes. A motorcycle is a two or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel, known for its lightweight, flexibility, and high speed, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also as a sports equipment.

My motorcycling friends often ask me this question, as getting the brake positions wrong can be a big deal. Having ridden in mountainous areas for over a decade, I can tell you: on a scooter, the left handle is the rear brake, while the right one is the front brake. However, it's completely different for a standard motorcycle—the left handle is actually the clutch, and the real rear brake is positioned at the right foot. The front brake is usually on the right handle. Once, I nearly had an accident riding a friend's bike simply because I didn’t notice the model difference. Always test the brake positions yourself before riding, especially when switching between different bike types. In emergencies, you rely on instinct—getting it wrong is dangerous. I recommend beginners practice braking habits in an open area first.

Is the rear suspension of the new Mazda Axela still an independent suspension?

The rear suspension of the new Mazda Axela is not an independent suspension; it uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The torsion beam non-independent suspension is an earlier type of suspension used in automobiles. In this type of suspension, the two rear wheels of the car are connected to a single rear axle, so when one wheel experiences vibration during driving, the other wheel will also vibrate. The new Mazada Axela is a car produced by Changan Mazda, and it is the third model to adopt the new generation "SKYACTIV" technology and the new design theme "KODO." The new Axela is equipped with two SKYACTIV gasoline engines: the "SKYACTIV-G 1.5L," which is introduced to the Chinese market for the first time, and the high-efficiency "SKYACTIV-G 2.0L."

What happens if a car's radiator runs low on water?

The effects of low water level in a car's radiator are: 1. The engine's cooling capacity is relatively reduced, thinning the lubricating oil and degrading its quality; 2. It exacerbates wear on the surfaces of moving parts, potentially leading to cylinder sticking, piston ring seizure, overheating, and cylinder scoring. The functions of a car's radiator are: 1. To absorb heat from the engine block; 2. To prevent the engine from overheating. The reasons for low water level in a car's radiator include: 1. Leaks in hose connections or the hoses themselves; 2. Cracks in the engine block, improper sealing or damage to the cylinder head gasket, causing water leakage; 3. Damage or pinholes in the oil cooler's sealing ring, leading to water leakage; 4. An improperly sealed radiator cap; 5. Leaks in the heater core; 6. Leaks in the coolant tee.
