The free travel of a motorcycle clutch refers to the clearance when the clutch lever is lightly gripped. Components of the clutch: The main components inside the clutch are friction plates, which are divided into driving friction plates and driven friction plates. The driving friction plates are connected as a whole with the engine crankshaft via gears, while the driven friction plates are connected as a whole with the driving gear of the transmission via gears. Free travel refers to the clearance when the clutch lever is lightly gripped. Precautions for clutch usage: Proper use of the clutch can reduce mechanical wear, extend the engine's service life, eliminate jerking phenomena, ensure a comfortable riding experience, meet gear-shifting requirements, cut off power, and facilitate braking. The motorcycle clutch is generally located on the right side, next to the foot brake, and is used to transmit or cut off the engine's power. The purpose of cutting off power is usually to facilitate gear shifting.

Can the car start with the hood open?

It can start normally, but there is a certain degree of danger. Cooling the engine and removing dust completely: First, park the car in an open and shady location, turn off the engine and all electrical equipment, and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, remove the decorative panel of the engine and use a soft brush to clean the floating dust in the engine compartment. If dust remains after cleaning, you can use an air nozzle to blow it away. Starting the car for cleaning and wiping: Spray professional foam cleaner on areas with excessive grease, but be careful not to spray it on wire connectors or fluid inlets in the engine compartment. Ensure the engine is idling during cleaning. Once the foam cleaner has coated the dirt, simply wipe gently with a damp towel, and the engine compartment will be clean.
