What are the corresponding speeds for each gear on a motorcycle?
1 Answers
The standard speeds for each gear on a motorcycle are as follows: 1st gear is suitable for climbing at speeds between 10 to 20 km/h, 2nd gear between 20 to 30 km/h, 3rd gear between 30 to 50 km/h, 4th gear between 50 to 60 km/h, and 5th gear for speeds above 60 to 100 km/h. The most fuel-efficient speed range is between 30 to 50 km/h. The fuel consumption curve at different engine speeds resembles a fishhook shape, with higher fuel consumption at low and high speeds, and lower fuel consumption at medium speeds, making this the economical speed range. Practice has also shown that motorcycles are most fuel-efficient when traveling at a stable speed. Motorcycle riding precautions: Wear full riding gear, including a helmet and protective equipment. According to the new motor vehicle driver's license application and management regulations, riding a motorcycle without a helmet will result in a deduction of 2 points. Comply with highway traffic laws, avoid speeding, and refrain from changing lanes arbitrarily. Motorcycles inherently have inferior braking capabilities compared to cars, so it's especially important to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front when riding on highways. Before entering the highway, check the vehicle's condition to ensure the braking system is functioning properly, tire pressure is normal, and the tires still have sufficient grip. Ensure the motorcycle meets the safety requirements for highway riding. A motorcycle safe for highway use should be able to cruise steadily at least at 100 km/h and still have the ability to overtake easily at that speed.
