Different models of motorcycles have varying speed ranges suitable for each gear, and each gear can operate within a certain speed range. Higher gears generally have a broader speed range. Speed ranges: Taking a common 125CC motorcycle as an example, first gear is only used for starting or climbing very steep slopes at low speeds. After starting, you should immediately shift to second gear. Second gear is generally suitable for speeds between 10-20, third gear for speeds between 20-40, fourth gear for speeds between 30-50, and speeds above 40 can usually be maintained in fifth gear. How a motorcycle works: The intake valve opens, the piston moves downward, and a mixture of gasoline and air is drawn into the cylinder. At this point, both the intake and exhaust valves close, the piston moves upward, and the mixture is compressed. When the mixture is compressed to its minimum, the spark plug ignites it, and the resulting pressure pushes the piston downward, rotating the crankshaft. When the piston reaches its lowest point, the exhaust valve opens, expelling the exhaust gases. The piston continues to move upward to expel any remaining exhaust gases.

What is the engine RPM at 60 km/h?

The engine RPM is approximately 1800 when the vehicle speed is 60 km/h. Here is an introduction to the high and low engine RPM conditions: 1. The engine RPM is related to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the effective power of the engine varies with different RPMs. Therefore, for a given effective power output, there is a corresponding optimal RPM. 2. When there is a sudden increase in RPM, it indicates a mismatch with the actual power output. At a certain speed, the ECU will provide an appropriate fuel injection quantity based on the collected data. The collected data generally includes throttle opening, water temperature, intake air volume, and other factors, which are comprehensively analyzed to determine the correct fuel injection timing and quantity.

Why is the low beam not working?

When the low beam of the headlight is not working, the possible issue could be a burnt-out filament. The solution is to replace the high-low beam bulb. During inspection, first check if the switch has power. If not, then examine whether the fuse has any abnormalities as a preliminary diagnosis. Additional information: 1. The low beam is designed for close-range illumination, with requirements focusing on a wide coverage area, short projection distance, and non-adjustable focus. 2. The low beam must be turned on under the following circumstances: (1) Driving in areas without streetlights at night, or during dusk when it's dark or at dawn when daylight is just emerging. (2) In conditions of heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, the low beam must be turned on even during the day. (3) On certain road sections where lighting is available but insufficient, the low beam should also be activated.
