The reason a motorcycle jerks when the throttle is wide open is due to issues in the power supply system, fuel delivery system, or valve body damage. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Power supply system: Spark plugs and ignition coils. If there is poor high-voltage sparking causing intermittent engine misfires, replacing these components can resolve the issue. Engine fuel delivery system: Fuel injectors. If the fuel injectors have carbon buildup, are slightly clogged, or have poor atomization, it can easily lead to irregular fuel injection. Replacing them can solve the problem. Valve body damage: If the transmission experiences jerking, hesitation, or gear slippage, it is usually due to valve body damage or dirty transmission fluid with internal impurities. Especially when dirt and impurities accumulate inside the valve body, blocking the passages, it prevents effective regulation of oil pressure, causing issues like jerking, hesitation, and slippage. Replacing the affected parts can resolve the problem.

Every time I ride my motorcycle, when I give it a big throttle, it jerks and feels like the engine is coughing. This issue is usually caused by dirty spark plugs or problems with the ignition system. Carbon buildup on the spark plugs can lead to unstable ignition, resulting in uneven power delivery. It could also be a fuel supply issue, such as a clogged carburetor, uneven fuel pump delivery, or poor-quality fuel mixed with impurities. I encountered this during a long-distance ride before, and it was resolved after cleaning the carburetor and replacing the spark plugs. If the air filter is too dirty and restricts airflow, it can also cause this problem. Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended, as sudden jerking at high speeds can be dangerous—imagine the risk of stalling and crashing. These details shouldn’t be overlooked when riding for long periods. Safety first, after all.

In Which Year Should a Private Car Undergo On-Site Inspection?

Private cars must undergo on-site inspection in the 6th year. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual 'physical examination' for vehicles conducted according to the 'Technical Requirements for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety.' 2. Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption from inspection for non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) means the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection. However, the owner must still pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron, which must then be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial vehicles such as passenger cars has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review procedures.

Must the vehicle license be under the owner's name?

The vehicle license does not have to be under the owner's name, as there are no regulations restricting the driving of a motor vehicle to the person named on the license. However, it is important to note that the owner must not lend the vehicle to someone without a driver's license or whose license does not match the vehicle type. In the event of a traffic accident, the owner bears joint liability. More details are as follows: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to operate on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the cover, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core information, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page contains additional endorsed core information. Content: The text on the front of the main page is in black. The phrase 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle License' is in 12pt bold font and centered. Other labels such as 'License Plate Number,' 'Vehicle Type,' 'Usage Nature,' 'Owner,' 'Address,' 'Brand Model,' 'Engine Number,' 'Vehicle Identification Number,' 'Registration Date,' and 'Issue Date' are also included.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel When Reversing?

Methods for turning the steering wheel when reversing: 1. When reversing, if the rear of the car needs to go left, turn the steering wheel to the left; if the rear needs to go right, turn the steering wheel to the right. 2. To straighten the car body, if the rear is leaning left, turn the steering wheel to the right; if the rear is leaning right, turn the steering wheel to the left. 3. Once the car body is corrected, return the steering wheel to the straight position and reverse slowly. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the driver's airbag. Working principle of the steering wheel lock: The steering wheel lock is a mechanical lock composed of a lock handle, lock base, and lock rod. The shell is installed on the lock handle, and one end of the lock handle is equipped with a lock rod. When in use, the positioning fork and hook of the steering wheel lock are secured on the steering wheel rim to restrict the rotation of the steering wheel, achieving an anti-theft effect.

What is the reason for loose steering gear and abnormal noise when driving on rough roads?

Loose steering gear and abnormal noise when driving on rough roads indicate damage to the steering gear. Maintenance of the steering gear: It is necessary to check whether the intermittent movement of the outer tie rod ball joint of the steering gear is normal and whether the movement of the inner tie rod ball joint gap of the steering gear is normal. If any abnormality is found, simply replace the tie rod ball joint; there is no need to replace the entire steering gear. However, if the internal rack has significant play, replacement is the only option. Causes and maintenance of abnormal noise when driving on rough roads: The buffer rubber pads in the suspension components may crack due to prolonged use, leading to metal-to-metal contact and resulting in noise. In this case, the front suspension components need to be replaced. If the shock absorbers are too old and leaking oil, they may produce abnormal noise, requiring replacement at a repair shop. The rubber bushings of the stabilizer bar may become hard in winter due to cold weather and deteriorate over time. Since they are rubber products, they require frequent replacement. If abnormal noise occurs in winter, it is generally not a major issue.
