What are the effects of a faulty oxygen sensor on a motorcycle?

Once the oxygen sensor fails, the computer of the electronic fuel injection system will not be able to obtain information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, thus unable to perform feedback control on the air-fuel ratio. This will lead to increased engine fuel consumption and exhaust pollution, as well as engine issues such as unstable idle, misfiring, and surging. More information about the oxygen sensor is as follows: 1. Location and function of the oxygen sensor: The front oxygen sensor is located at the exhaust manifold and is used to adjust the mixture concentration. The rear oxygen sensor is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and is used to monitor the working condition of the three-way catalytic converter. 2. Replacement cycle of the oxygen sensor: There is no fixed replacement cycle for the oxygen sensor, but it is recommended to replace the oxygen sensor for vehicles with over 100,000 kilometers.

Why Are Top Supercars Mostly Manual Transmission?

Reasons why automatic transmissions are unsuitable for racing cars: lower shifting efficiency, greater power loss; inability to withstand high torque. Manual transmissions are lighter than automatic ones, with manual transmission cars generally weighing about 50kg less than automatic transmission cars. Physical mass affects acceleration, so manual transmission cars are also slightly faster than automatic ones by about 1.5 seconds. Supercars: Almost all are semi-automatic, meaning they can be manually controlled or automatically adjusted. Sports cars emphasize control and speed, both of which automatic transmissions generally cannot perfectly achieve. To obtain a better driving experience, manual shifting is necessary. Manual Transmission Introduction: Manual transmission cars have only one gearbox and one clutch, but sports cars have dual clutches—one responsible for even-numbered gears and the other for odd-numbered gears—ensuring uninterrupted power transmission, thus enabling automatic shifting. They also have a manual mode, similar to semi-automatic transmissions. Sports cars typically use paddle shifters for gear changes, a basic configuration for sports cars. Supercars, with their powerful gearboxes and clutches, can shift gears very quickly, completing a shift in as little as 0.3 seconds.

What Causes the Buick Excelle's Engine to Shake and Stall Automatically?

Engine carbon buildup, clogged fuel injectors, and ignition system failures can all cause the Buick Excelle's engine to shake and stall automatically. Engine stalling due to carbon buildup: Carbon deposits typically accumulate in the throttle body, spark plugs, cylinders, fuel lines, and intake manifold. These deposits are a carbonized substance formed when fuel burns at high temperatures. Carbon buildup can lead to decreased engine performance, difficulty starting, poor acceleration, excessive noise, and stalling. Solution: Clean carbon deposits promptly. Clogged fuel injectors: Fuel injectors can become clogged due to carbon deposits in the engine or impurities in the fuel. A clogged fuel injector results in inaccurate fuel injection and prevents the formation of a properly mixed combustible gas, leading to incomplete combustion, reduced engine power, and shaking or stalling. Normally, fuel injectors should be replaced every 60,000–80,000 kilometers. Ignition system failure: Spark plugs and ignition coils in the ignition system are wear-prone components that require regular replacement. If there is a fault in the ignition system, the combustible gas mixture in the cylinders may fail to ignite properly, preventing complete combustion. This can cause abnormal engine shaking, weak acceleration, black smoke emissions, and a tendency to stall automatically at low speeds.

What is the Difference Between Chain Drive and Belt Drive?

Chain drive and belt drive differ in that chain drive is suitable for mainstream models such as commuter motorcycles or racing bikes on the market, while belt drive is primarily found on scooters and cruiser motorcycles that emphasize smoothness. Advantages of chain drive: It is lightweight, has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and is inexpensive. Additionally, it offers higher transmission efficiency, delivers power more directly, and provides quicker starts and acceleration. Disadvantages of chain drive: It tends to be noisier, and the exposed chain is highly susceptible to contamination by debris. Therefore, riders need to frequently maintain the chain by adding lubricant to ensure its proper operation. Moreover, since chain drive involves metal friction, if the chain and sprocket become loose, the chain must be replaced. Advantages of belt drive: Due to its softer material, it operates more smoothly with minimal noise, especially during gear shifts, where riders can noticeably feel greater comfort. Additionally, it has a longer lifespan and eliminates the need for regular lubrication and maintenance. Disadvantages of belt drive: Due to lower friction, its transmission efficiency is naturally inferior to chain drive, especially under high torque, where belt slippage can occur. This drive mode is only suitable for smooth streets, as uneven roads can damage the belt or even cause it to snap mid-ride. Furthermore, once damaged, the repair costs are relatively high.

What is the following distance when driving below 100 km/h on a highway?

When driving on a highway at a speed below 100 km/h, the following distance should not be less than 50 meters. Relevant regulations: According to Article 80 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when a motor vehicle is driving on a highway at a speed exceeding 100 km/h, it should maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. When the speed is below 100 km/h, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters. Relationship between visibility, speed, and following distance: Visibility less than 500 meters but greater than 200 meters: speed should not exceed 80 km/h, and the following distance should be more than 150 meters. Visibility less than 200 meters but greater than 100 meters: speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and the following distance should be more than 100 meters. Visibility less than 100 meters but greater than 50 meters: speed should not exceed 40 km/h, and the following distance should be more than 50 meters. When visibility is less than 50 meters: vehicles are prohibited from entering the highway.
