"Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": For domestic vehicles that change tire specifications or install oversized body kits, the law requires restoration to the original condition. If car owners wish to modify their rims, they must ensure not to alter the rim size, otherwise the modifications will fail the annual inspection.

Just a couple of days ago, I saw a guy get pulled over for installing oversized rims—fined 500 yuan and forced to remove them on the spot. Traffic regulations clearly state that rim size and specifications must match the vehicle registration certificate. Changing the size not only leads to fines but also makes it impossible to pass the annual inspection. In some areas with strict enforcement, you might even get points deducted and be ordered to restore the original setup. If you’re really set on modifying, I’d suggest at least keeping the factory rims as backups so you can swap them back for inspections. Also, larger rims throw off your speedometer accuracy and increase braking distance, so safety is another factor to consider.

Can I replace the engine belt myself?

You can replace the engine belt yourself. Inspection and replacement of car belts: Every time you perform maintenance, you need to check the belt tension and wear condition. Even if everything appears normal, the belt should generally be proactively replaced at around 80,000 kilometers. Importance of the engine belt: The engine belt is the most important belt in a car, connecting the generator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. When small cracks appear on the belt, it needs to be replaced. If the belt breaks, it can cause the generator to stop producing electricity, the power steering pump to fail, and make steering difficult, which is a very dangerous situation.

Should I Buy a Domestic or Imported Motorcycle?

Whether to buy a domestic or imported motorcycle should be chosen based on the buyer's personal usage and preferences. Introduction to motorcycle speeds: The maximum speed of a typical household motorcycle can reach around 90 kilometers per hour. Motorcycles with a displacement of around 500cc can reach a top speed of about 170 kilometers per hour, while high-performance motorcycles with a displacement of around 1000cc can achieve speeds between 300 to 400 kilometers per hour. Common motorcycles on the road usually have displacements between 100 to 150cc, and their top speeds generally do not exceed one hundred kilometers per hour. Precautions for riding a motorcycle: When riding a motorcycle, do not occupy non-motorized lanes, avoid speeding, and always obey traffic signals. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or exceed speed limits. For regular maintenance, it's essential to follow a schedule. Motorcycle maintenance is relatively simple, primarily involving oil changes and the replacement of some wear-prone components.

What Causes Unstable Idle and the Malfunction Light to Illuminate?

Unstable idle and the malfunction light illuminating can be attributed to the following reasons: Intake Manifold Leakage: When unauthorized air, gasoline vapor, or combustion exhaust enters the intake manifold, it causes the air-fuel mixture to become either too rich or too lean, leading to unstable idle in the vehicle. Excessive Carbon Buildup in the Throttle Body: Too much carbon buildup in the throttle body and surrounding intake passages alters the cross-sectional area of the air passage. This prevents the control unit from precisely regulating the idle air intake, also resulting in an overly rich or lean mixture and causing unstable idle. Faulty Intake System Actuators: The engine's intake system has numerous actuators, such as the throttle motor, idle stepper motor, duty cycle solenoid valve, mass airflow sensor, and intake pressure sensor. Malfunctions or damage to these components can lead to unstable idle.

Can I Transfer the Vehicle Registration with Traffic Violation Captured by Electronic Eye?

If there is a traffic violation captured by the electronic eye, the vehicle registration cannot be transferred until the violation is processed. Introduction to Electronic Eye: Currently, the most commonly used device for capturing traffic violations in urban areas is the electronic camera. The electronic camera can monitor vehicles in real-time within the surveillance area. When a vehicle commits violations such as running a red light, driving in the wrong direction, or crossing the line, the electronic camera will continuously capture multiple images of the process. Development of Electronic Eye: The electronic eye utilizes various technologies such as vehicle detection, photoelectric imaging, automatic control, network communication, and computer technology to monitor violations like running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, speeding, crossing lines, and illegal parking around the clock. It captures images and information of vehicle violations and processes them accordingly based on the violation data.

Where is the motorcycle rocker arm located?

The position of the motorcycle rocker arm is that the upper rocker arm is in the cylinder head, and the lower rocker arm is installed on the side of the cylinder block, near the crankcase. Introduction to the rear rocker arm: The rear rocker arm of a motorcycle, also known as the rear swingarm, refers to the part where the rear wheel connects to the motorcycle body. It serves to fix the rear wheel, bear the pressure of the body, and maintain stability. Different rear rocker arms have a significant impact on the performance of the motorcycle. Difference between double rocker arms and single rocker arms: The difference between double rocker arms and single rocker arms lies in the part that connects to the body. Double rocker arms are fixed on both sides, while single rocker arms are fixed on one side. If the rear wheel of a motorcycle has two connecting supports, it is a double rocker arm; if it has one connecting support, it is a single rocker arm, which is designed for quick replacement of racing tires and to make the vehicle lighter by reducing weight.

How many kilometers should the Sienna transmission fluid be changed?

Sienna transmission fluid should be replaced approximately every two years or after driving 50,000-80,000 kilometers. Introduction to transmission: A device that changes speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. Function of transmission: During vehicle operation, to adapt to different working conditions, the driving force and speed of the car need to vary within a certain range. Since the existing engine's torque and speed variation range cannot meet this requirement, the transmission is installed.
