The engine of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 is independently developed by Dongfeng Fengshen and is a domestically produced engine. The engine models of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 are DFMA14T and DFMA16. The 1.4T version has a maximum power of 103kw and a maximum torque of 196 Nm, the 1.6L version has a maximum power of 91kw and a maximum torque of 153 Nm, and the 1.0T version has a maximum power of 95kw and a maximum torque of 96 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.

What are the benefits of aggressive break-in for motorcycles?

Generally, motorcycles that undergo aggressive break-in have better performance than those with standard break-in, but their lifespan is reduced by 10% to 20%. Different motorcycle break-in methods are introduced as follows: Aggressive motorcycle break-in: This approach advocates using relatively aggressive methods such as dyno break-in and track break-in. (Note: aggressive break-in does not equal mindlessly revving the engine.) If you can find professional dyno technicians or available tracks, the break-in time can be significantly shortened - 20 minutes on a dyno or one track day can fully break in a new engine. Gentle motorcycle break-in: Try to use the available RPM range. If the RPM limit is 6000, aim to operate between 3000-6000 RPM, shift gears frequently, and ride at varying speeds (such as on winding mountain roads or highways with smooth traffic but requiring frequent acceleration and deceleration).

Why doesn't the motorcycle speed up when the throttle is increased?

The reasons why the motorcycle doesn't speed up when the throttle is increased are as follows: Fuel line blockage: Check if the fuel line is blocked, whether the fuel filter is clogged, the spark plug gap and carbon deposits, and the strength of the high voltage from the ignition coil. If it's not strong, it could be due to a blocked fuel line. Throttle obstruction: After starting, the cold idle speed may be high, but it should normalize after warming up. If it's too high, first check if there's an issue with the throttle, such as an obstruction. Electrical issues: If the speed doesn't increase even when the throttle is fully pressed, and the engine feels weak or muffled, like riding with the choke on, check if the engine is damaged. Dirty throttle body: It could also be due to a dirty throttle body, which should be cleaned.

Should a completely dead motorcycle battery be replaced?

If the battery is not damaged and is simply out of power, there is no need to replace it, as the battery will recharge itself through normal usage. Reasons for a dead motorcycle battery: If the battery has not been maintained, the acid inside may deplete, or low/no electrolyte levels can cause power loss. How to handle a dead motorcycle battery: You can visually check if the battery fluid is low. If it is, you can add distilled water or battery electrolyte yourself. Replacement isn't necessary if the battery isn't damaged. Regular motorcycle use and minimizing prolonged headlight operation at night will prevent power loss, helping maintain battery charge for extended periods.

Do motorcycle decals need to be registered?

Whether motorcycle decals need to be registered depends on the coverage area. If the main body color of the vehicle is not changed, the decals do not cover more than 50% of the body, and they do not obstruct other vehicles' driving, then registration at the vehicle management office is not required. The following are the precautions and introduction for motorcycle modification registration: Precautions for motorcycle modification registration: For motorcycle modification registration, you should first apply at the local vehicle management office. Otherwise, the vehicle annual inspection cannot be passed. Modifications such as changing tires and rims, adding spoilers, lights, exhaust pipes, etc., are considered illegal modifications. These must be restored to their original condition to pass the inspection, and may also result in fines, license suspension, and other penalties. Introduction to illegal modifications: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to alterations to the vehicle's appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system that exceed the legal limits allowed by national laws and manufacturer agreements, beyond the original design load capacity and functionality. This includes replacing key components. If the body color or the body/frame is replaced, the owner must register the changes at the vehicle management department within 10 days after the replacement.

What are the benefits of motorcycles?

Compared to cars, motorcycles are more flexible, unaffected by traffic jams, and can navigate both main roads and alleys. Their fuel consumption, maintenance, and overall costs are lower than cars, approximately one-tenth of a car's expenses. They are the best means of transportation for the middle and lower classes. Therefore, motorcycles remain popular today with no signs of being phased out. Advantages of motorcycles: Motorcycles are affordable, cost-effective, lightweight, and flexible. When comparing motorcycles to cars, the advantage depends on the travel distance. For activities within a 50-kilometer range, motorcycles have a clear advantage. For distances exceeding 50 kilometers, cars are more advantageous. Disadvantages of motorcycles: Motorcycles are 'meat wrapped in iron,' whereas cars are 'iron wrapped in meat,' meaning motorcycles have inferior safety performance.
