The reasons why a motorcycle fails to start and produces a ticking sound include fuel system failure, electrical circuit failure, and air pressure failure. Specific details are as follows: Fuel system failure: Mainly caused by the fuel switch not supplying fuel, clogged fuel filter, carburetor not delivering fuel or having an overly rich mixture, and bent fuel pipes. Electrical circuit failure: Short circuits in the entire electrical system (e.g., ignition switch, ignition coil, ignition module, and magneto failure) or open circuits caused by loose wiring harness connectors. Air pressure failure: Insufficient cylinder compression, improper air intake resistance of the air filter element, and engine intake or exhaust faults, among others. If the above issues occur: It is recommended to take the motorcycle to a professional repair shop for inspection and repair.

Will the 4S shop still be responsible if problems occur after maintenance outside?

The 4S shop will continue to be responsible if the car is still under warranty. However, it should be noted that the problematic part cannot be the one that was maintained outside. For example: if the engine and transmission were maintained outside and the car battery fails, the 4S shop should be responsible for it. But if the faulty part is the one maintained at an external repair shop, the 4S shop cannot be held responsible. Below is the significance of maintenance: 1. Regular maintenance can extend the service life of the car and reduce the failure rate. Maintenance items include the vehicle's fluids and consumable parts, which need to be replaced. 2. Long-term lack of car maintenance can lead to severe carbon deposits and greatly threaten the safety of the engine. Once it occurs, it can cause the engine to fail to work properly.

What symbol indicates low engine oil in a car?

The car warning light is an oil can-shaped icon with a wavy line underneath. A yellow oil light indicates that the oil level is below the standard lower limit; a red oil light means the oil is severely lacking, possibly due to a leak or a fuel supply system malfunction. Below are the solutions when the oil light comes on: 1. When the yellow oil light comes on: Open the engine hood, wait for about 3-5 minutes, then pull out the dipstick to check the oil level. If the oil level shown on the dipstick is not within the normal range, you need to add oil up to the standard level. 2. If the oil level is within the normal range, the cause of the light is likely a sensor issue. 3. When the red oil light comes on: It is not recommended to continue driving. Stop the car immediately and wait for assistance.
