Driving a motorcycle without inspection will result in a fine and 3 demerit points. If the motorcycle has not been inspected for 3 consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period and has not obtained the inspection qualification mark, it will be forcibly scrapped. Below is an introduction to motorcycle inspection knowledge: 1. Overview of motorcycle inspection: exhaust emission test, violation check, deposit payment, appearance inspection, on-site inspection, final review, fee payment, and label collection. 2. Motorcycle inspection schedule: According to the new regulations, motorcycles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 4 years; after reaching or exceeding 4 years, they must be inspected annually.

Riding an uninspected motorcycle is no trivial matter. I made a similar mistake when I was younger—I rode an old bike without an annual inspection around the city and got caught by traffic police. I was fined 200 RMB, had 3 points deducted from my license, and the bike was temporarily impounded. It happened during rush hour, and I wasted a lot of time dealing with it, which was frustrating. According to traffic laws, failing to inspect a motorcycle on time is a violation and can lead to accidents due to brake or lighting issues. Police usually issue a warning first, then a fine, and may even tow the vehicle in severe cases. I recommend riders set a phone reminder to get their annual inspection done a month early each year—it saves money and ensures safety. Don’t wait until something goes wrong to regret it. Last year, I stuck to this routine, and my bike ran smoothly, avoiding a lot of trouble.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Geely Xingrui?

Geely Xingrui's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.7L, which is the official data. The fuel grade for Geely Xingrui is 95, with an average fuel price of 8.56 yuan/L, making the fuel cost per 100 kilometers 6.7*8.56=57.352 yuan. The fuel tank capacity of Geely Xingrui is 50L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 50/6.7*100=746km. The level of car fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that can increase car fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Rough driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What Does the Gecko Car Sticker Mean?

The gecko car sticker is a homophone for 'protection' in Chinese, symbolizing the use of a gecko to safeguard both the car and the owner's safety. Below are specific details about car stickers: Use of Solar Film: Most car stickers utilize solar film, which takes about 5-7 days to fully adhere to the car's glass. During this period, the edges of the film can easily curl up when the windows are opened or closed, and displacement is likely if the film hasn't fully bonded. Avoid Wiping: After applying the film, it's best to avoid wiping the car windows for at least a week. The film is prone to fogging, and using a towel to wipe it can cause displacement.

What does tune mean?

It refers to the settings used to adjust the audio system, primarily capable of adjusting the bass balance, treble balance, vertical and horizontal balance, front and rear balance, and SVC (Speed Volume Compensation) automatic volume adjustment of the audio system. Generally, it is set on the right row of buttons on the car audio control panel. After application, it can also enable the car's audio system to play audio with different sound effects. There are two main purposes: one is to lock the pitch of out-of-tune notes and adjust the pitch when playing audio, and the other is to perform special attribute processing on musical instruments. Other button functions on the car audio are as follows: PWR button: Press briefly to start the audio system. Press and hold for more than 1 second to automatically turn off the audio system. AMS button: When the audio is in radio mode, press and hold this button for more than 2 seconds, and the received radio stations will be automatically saved to preset stations 1-6. In MP3 mode, pressing this button allows you to select the MP3 menu. MUT button: Used for one-key mute of the audio system. SEL/AF button: Switches between bands, such as from AM band to AF band. LOUD button: Increases the low-frequency loudness of the audio. Notes: The operation method of the TUNE button may vary across different car models. Some car models may design the TUNE button as a knob, while others may set it as a touch button. Therefore, car owners should choose the appropriate operation method based on their specific vehicle.

Do pickup trucks require an annual inspection?

Pickup trucks do not require an annual inspection. Below is extended information about pickup truck annual inspections: Pickup truck inspection schedule: Pickups are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, requiring only a stamp at the vehicle management office every two years during this period. From years 7-15, they must be inspected annually, and after 15 years, they require inspection every six months. The inspection process for pickups is the same as for regular passenger vehicles. The 2019 pickup scrappage regulation abolished the mandatory 15-year scrappage rule for pickups, but vehicles that fail inspections or reach 600,000 kilometers must be scrapped. Pickup truck emission testing during annual inspection: Primarily verifies if the engine number matches the vehicle registration, performs a simple vehicle condition check, and then fills out the emission test form. During testing, an inspector drives the vehicle on the testing line - new vehicles usually pass easily. After obtaining a qualified emission test form, you can pay at the window to receive the emission compliance certificate. Pickup truck exterior inspection during annual review: The exterior inspection mainly checks for damaged lights, whether the vehicle body matches its original condition, any suspension modifications, and tire conditions.
