The reasons why a motorcycle jerks at low speeds but runs normally at high speeds are: 1. The carburetor is clogged or the air-fuel mixture is improperly adjusted; 2. Loose connections or poor contacts in the ignition system wiring and plugs; 3. Poor quality gasoline; 4. Incorrect spark plug electrode gap. A motorcycle is a nimble and fast means of transportation, driven by a gasoline engine, and is a two-wheeled vehicle steered by handlebars. Daily maintenance methods for motorcycles: 1. During the break-in period, keep the motorcycle idle speed at 100 rpm; 2. Match the gear with the speed; 3. When braking is needed due to an obstacle ahead, release the throttle, step on the rear brake with the right foot, and gently apply the front brake with the right hand; 4. Regularly check the spark plugs; 5. When installing a new spark plug, hand-tighten it until it can't be turned anymore, then use a spark plug socket to tighten it an additional quarter to half turn; 6. Regularly lubricate the chain.

Is it permissible to make phone calls while driving in case of emergencies?

It is not permissible to make phone calls while driving in case of emergencies. The following are relevant regulations and prohibited behaviors when operating a motor vehicle. Behaviors that compromise driving safety: After the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" was promulgated, it came into effect on January 1, 2013, stipulating that: behaviors such as making or answering handheld phone calls while driving that compromise safety will incur a 2-point penalty. Additionally, making phone calls while driving also endangers personal safety. The following behaviors are prohibited when driving a motor vehicle: Driving when the doors or compartments are not properly closed; hanging or placing items within the front and rear windows of the motor vehicle's cab that obstruct the driver's view; making or answering handheld phone calls, watching television, or engaging in other activities that compromise driving safety.

Will a rear-end collision result in penalty points, and how many?

Whether a rear-end collision results in penalty points depends on the circumstances. If it is merely a traffic accident without any violations, no points will be deducted. However, if traffic laws are violated with illegal actions, penalty points will be imposed. Tips to prevent rear-end collisions: When driving at speeds exceeding 100 km/h on highways, maintain a safe distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead. Regularly check the vehicle behind you; if it is following too closely, lightly tap the brakes to alert it. If traffic ahead is dense and moving slowly, turn on the hazard lights to remind the following vehicle to slow down. Liability determination in rear-end collisions: Generally, the rear driver bears full responsibility in a rear-end collision. However, if the front vehicle was reversing, rolling backward, or forcibly changing lanes, the front driver may be at fault. Liability is determined based on the role of each party's actions in causing the accident and the severity of their negligence.

Why Is There a Clicking Sound When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting an automatic transmission car and pressing the brake, a clicking sound may occur, which can be caused by various factors. For example, internal transmission issues or excessive wear can lead to gaps, resulting in play during startup and producing the clicking sound. Human factors that may cause a clicking sound when shifting gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. Shifting before the car comes to a complete stop: Normally, drivers stop the car completely before shifting the gear lever from D to P. If the car is shifted to P before stopping, the P-gear lock hook inside the transmission will hit the gear, producing a clicking sound. This operation can cause wear or even breakage of the lock hook, and in severe cases, it may render the transmission unusable. 2. Incorrect operation sequence when parking on a slope: If P gear is engaged before applying the handbrake, the vehicle's sliding force will be entirely borne by the P-gear lock hook, keeping the lock hook and gear under tension. In this case, shifting from P to other gears will produce a sound.

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.
