The reasons for high fuel consumption in motorcycles are as follows: 1. Fuel intake issues: A clogged air filter causes poor air intake, forcing the cylinder to suck in more gasoline. Improper adjustment or maintenance of the carburetor, an overly rich fuel mixture, excessively high main jet needle position, or high fuel level can all lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Component wear problems: Slippage caused by worn clutch plates or aging springs. Overly tight brakes, cylinder and valve wear leading to reduced cylinder pressure, decreased oil output, and poor lubrication of various parts can result in excessive wear and increased fuel consumption. 3. External driving issues: Insufficient tire pressure. Frequent low-speed driving and poor road conditions causing repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as frequent braking.

Do I Need to Report to Insurance If I Get Rear-Ended?

If your car is rear-ended and the other party is fully at fault, you do not need to report it to your insurance. Below is an extended introduction about auto insurance: 1. Types: Auto insurance is mainly divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. (1) Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance that every car owner must purchase. (2) Commercial Insurance: For commercial auto insurance, car owners can choose to purchase it selectively. However, it is best to have comprehensive coverage to minimize losses in the event of an accident. 2. Significance: If a motor vehicle is damaged due to natural disasters or accidents during use, it is difficult for the owner to compensate for the losses on their own. If the owner opts for the corresponding auto insurance, these losses will be covered by the insurance company through claim services, providing timely financial support to the owner. This is the essence of auto insurance. Auto insurance is a method of risk transfer, where the insurance company acts as the transferee to share the risks of the policyholder.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound in the Engine Compartment When Braking?

The following are three reasons for abnormal noise when braking: Issues with the vehicle's brake fluid: The brake fluid is either insufficient or has reached its replacement cycle. Loose brake fluid lines may cause leakage, resulting in abnormal noise from the engine compartment when braking. This situation requires professional repair at a specialized shop. Sand in the brake discs: Generally, newly purchased vehicles do not produce abnormal noise when braking. If the car hasn't been driven many kilometers and the brakes start making noise, it's likely due to particles like sand or iron powder getting into the brakes. In such cases, pressing the brakes will produce a sharp sound. This issue can often be resolved by using a high-pressure water gun during car washing. If that doesn't work, disassembly and cleaning may be necessary. Overly hard brake pads: Some newly purchased vehicles produce noise when braking, especially when braking lightly. This is usually because the brake pad material is relatively hard. The noise typically disappears when braking harder. Generally, this situation can be ignored and allowed to wear in over time.
