The causes of gear disengagement are: 1. Misalignment of the gear linkage mechanism, where the gear is not fully engaged, which can be resolved through adjustment; 2. Wear of the reverse gear locking mechanism in the transmission, preventing effective locking of the reverse gear; 3. Softening or breakage of the gear spring lock, or dislodgement/damage of the self-locking steel ball; 4. Excessive wear of the gear lock block; 5. Formation of conical shapes due to wear on the sliding gears or the internal/external meshing teeth of the shift mechanism gear seat and gear sleeve; 6. Severe wear or deformation of the shift fork or gear sleeve. The solutions for gear disengagement are: 1. Check the engagement depth: Insufficient depth can cause gear disengagement while driving, so ensuring the gear is fully engaged during normal operation can prevent this issue; 2. Inspect the shift control mechanism: If the control mechanism feels different from usual and causes gear disengagement, examine the shift control mechanism, focusing on the springs and ball joints inside; 3. Check the gear engagement sleeve and gears: Smooth gear engagement requires a synchronizer. If the shift synchronizer or synchronizer ring is severely worn, the gear may engage when the car is stationary but disengage while driving. In such cases, the transmission must be disassembled to replace the synchronizer to resolve the issue.

Do I need to go in person for the annual inspection of a sedan?

You do not need to go in person for the annual inspection of a sedan. Introduction to annual inspection: Vehicle inspection includes three types: vehicle safety technical inspection, vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection. Annual inspection, also known as annual check, refers to the safety inspection of a car conducted annually or biennially. It includes a comprehensive examination of components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, and license plate installation. Annual inspection process: Upon arrival at the inspection station, the first step is the exterior inspection. The owner needs to park the vehicle in the designated inspection area, prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign, open the engine compartment and trunk, and wait for the staff to conduct the inspection. After payment, the owner must submit their ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the staff, who will then enter the vehicle's annual inspection information into the system. Once these steps are completed, the owner can take the form and wait for the online inspection. If the online inspection is passed, the owner can proceed to the final inspection office to complete the last procedures.

Does paying the fine for running a red light exempt you from the 6-point deduction?

Running a red light still results in point deductions even after paying the fine. The penalty for this traffic violation involves two simultaneous actions: paying a fine and receiving demerit points. Paying the fine does not cancel the point deduction, although the points will automatically reset at the end of the year if the total does not exceed 12. Methods to avoid running a red light while driving: Follow the arrow signal if present; otherwise, observe the circular light. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light starts flashing, proceed if you are close and moving fast, as braking may not stop you in time. Stop if you are far away, moving slowly, or if the intersection is congested. In urban driving, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you encounter a crosswalk, stop line, or intersection.

What is the fuel consumption of the Yamaha Tianjian?

The normal fuel consumption of the Yamaha Tianjian 125 is around 2.2-2.5 liters per 100 kilometers, and the specific fuel consumption depends on the actual usage by the owner. Motorcycle fuel consumption range: Taking the common 125cc cross-type motorcycle as an example, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is generally around 2.2 liters, while for a 125cc scooter, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 3 liters. The oil consumption of a motorcycle should not exceed 1% of the fuel consumption; otherwise, it is considered excessive oil consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of a motorcycle is also directly related to engine technology and model classification. Some high-tech large-displacement models can also achieve low fuel consumption, while some small-displacement motorcycles may not perform as well in terms of fuel consumption. Additionally, due to differences in technology and positioning, the actual fuel consumption performance can vary significantly among models of the same displacement.
