400cc in motorcycles refers to a displacement of 0.4 liters. The term "400CC" indicates the exhaust volume of the motorcycle engine's combustion chamber, where CC is the volume unit for cylinder displacement, with 1CC equivalent to 1ml. If we use the mainstream "L" as the displacement unit in the automotive field, then a 400CC motorcycle is equivalent to a 0.4L displacement car. According to relevant standards in China, different displacements correspond to the following vehicle types: 30CC and below are classified as fuel-powered assist bicycles. 30-50CC are classified as light motorcycles. Above 50CC are classified as regular motorcycles. Among regular motorcycles, they can be further divided into: entry-level motorcycles defined as 250-400CC. Mid-level motorcycles are defined as 500-750CC. Heavy motorcycles (liter-class) are defined as above 1000CC. Motorcycle licenses are categorized into D, E, and F classes. Motorcycles come in two types: two-wheeled and three-wheeled. In addition to directly applying for a beginner's two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle license, one can also apply for an upgrade to a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle license. Applicants can apply for a motorcycle driver's license at any location nationwide with their ID card, take the test, and upon passing, receive their motorcycle driver's license. For daily maintenance of a motorcycle engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When 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 blocked and oil cannot pass through, it may burst the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and still carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. 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 powder from part wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it suspends in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Should a new car be driven at high speeds and at what mileage should it start?

Avoid driving a new car at high speeds, but it can be done after about 5,000 kilometers. Reasons are as follows: During the break-in period of a new car, high-speed driving above 90 km/h should be avoided. When the new car has been driven for about 5,000 kilometers and is about to complete the break-in period, the owner can briefly run the engine above 4,000 RPM to reduce carbon buildup and improve engine performance. Other break-in considerations for new cars: A new car during the break-in period should avoid fully loaded driving because excessive load increases the burden on the engine and transmission, causing the engine to output excessive power and leading to excessive wear of components. Therefore, owners should be aware of their car's maximum load capacity and avoid fully loaded driving during the break-in period to extend the vehicle's lifespan. Owners should also avoid prolonged use of low gears and intentionally allow each gear to undergo the break-in process. For automatic transmission models, although the manual gear shifting break-in process is eliminated, owners should accelerate continuously under good road conditions to allow the transmission to shift up smoothly and avoid insufficient break-in of higher gears.

Is There Any Impact When the Left and Right Tire Pressure Differs by 15?

A difference of 15 in left and right tire pressure will have some impact. A difference of 0-10kpa between left and right tire pressure is within the normal range. When the tire pressure difference exceeds the normal range, it can cause abnormal tire wear, shortening the tire's lifespan, and the car may also experience pulling or swaying. Normal tire pressure range: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5bar. Methods to adjust tire pressure: When the vehicle is unloaded or half-loaded, it is more appropriate to adjust the tire pressure to the lower limit of the standard value. When the vehicle is fully loaded, the tire pressure should be adjusted to the upper limit of the standard value. For new tires, the standard tire pressure should be increased by about 0.2bar. For old tires, the tire pressure should be appropriately reduced according to the standard. If the wear is severe, the tire pressure should be set to the lower limit of the standard. Comfort-type soft tires should be increased by about 0.2bar above the standard pressure, while performance-type hard tires should be set to the lower limit of the standard pressure.

Should You Pull the Clutch When Making a U-turn on a Motorcycle?

You need to pull the clutch when making a U-turn on a motorcycle. Practice techniques are as follows: When starting to practice, control the speed at around 20-30km/h. Drive straight at this speed and tilt the bike to the left. Adopt an outward-leaning posture (the rider and the bike lean in opposite directions), press the right foot on the pedal, and use the right knee to press the weight onto the fuel tank. The body is supported by the right foot on the pedal, while consciously turning the handlebars to the left. Pull the clutch and firmly press the rear brake to lock and slide the rear wheel. Precautions: Drivers should pay special attention to debris piled by the roadside, slow down and honk within 50-100 meters, and indicate the direction of travel with turn signals or hand signals. Use low beams at night, adhere to the principle of 'slow down, look, and then proceed,' and closely watch the inside of the turn to beware of pedestrians, bicycles, or motorcycles competing for the right of way. Also, be mindful of the outer side of the front wheel, the inner side of the rear wheel, and potential collisions or scrapes between the rear of the car or cargo box and obstacles. Drivers should honk and slow down 50-100 meters before starting the turn, depending on road conditions. When visibility is poor at the curve, quickly move the vehicle to the right side of the road to avoid obstructing other vehicles. Turning at intersections: When turning left, signal early and stay as close to the center of the road as possible to facilitate vehicles behind and those turning right. When turning right, signal first, turn slowly, and be aware of the inner wheel difference to prevent the right rear wheel from going off the road and hitting pedestrians or obstacles.

What are the pre-driving inspection items?

Pre-driving inspection items are as follows: 1. Check tires: Tire inspection is essential. Regardless of the vehicle type, always observe tire inflation levels and check for nails or foreign objects lodged in the tires before driving. 2. Inspect the radiator: Many drivers operate vehicles for extended periods without refilling water, leading to engine damage from overheating. Open the hood to verify water levels in both the radiator and windshield washer reservoir. 3. Examine the dashboard: After starting the engine, carefully observe dashboard indicators: fuel level, engine temperature warnings, and malfunction indicator lights. Most vehicles display basic operational status through dashboard symbols. 4. Test lights: Following dashboard checks, verify all lighting systems. Night drivers should pay special attention to lighting functionality - these are the vehicle's "eyes". 5. Adjust driving position and visibility: Customize seat position, rearview mirrors, and side mirrors according to your height, weight, and driving habits for optimal comfort and visibility. 6. Warm up the vehicle: This process allows assessment of engine condition through sound, checks on air conditioning functionality, horn operation, etc. Finally, fasten seatbelts, release the parking brake, and prepare for departure.

What is the difference between paint protection film and ceramic coating?

Regarding the differences between paint protection film and ceramic coating, the details are as follows: 1. Material composition: The essence of paint protection film is a plastic film with special properties; the essence of ceramic coating is a chemical reagent mainly composed of crystallizable silicon dioxide. Both adhere to the car's paint surface to isolate it from the external environment, thereby protecting the paint. Paint protection film relies on toughness and self-repair for protection, while ceramic coating relies on absolute hardness. 2. Durability: High-quality ceramic coating products can last 1-2 years. New cars can be directly coated after cleaning, while older cars require polishing before coating. High-quality paint protection film can last up to 10 years, and it is mostly applied to new cars, with fewer applications on older vehicles.

Will Factory Paint Naturally Crack?

Factory paint will not naturally crack. However, if corrosive substances adhere to the car's surface and are not removed for a long time, it can cause the paint to crack. Below are some extended tips on car maintenance: 1. Regular Inspection: Periodically check the car's paint surface. If cracks or scratches are found, address them promptly to prevent further damage from wind and sun exposure. For minor scratches or chips, the usual treatment involves sanding the surface with water sandpaper, then applying a professional touch-up paint pen or using the auxiliary paint provided by the manufacturer. 2. Avoid Using Car Covers for Heat Protection: Using a car cover can cause friction between the paint surface and the cover's interior, especially in breezy conditions, which can inadvertently wear down the paint surface. 3. Avoid Repainting Unnecessarily: Some owners, upon noticing minor scratches, opt to repaint the entire car. This is not advisable. Firstly, it is economically inefficient. Secondly, repainting involves sanding down the existing paint, reapplying new paint, and resealing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, repainted surfaces often lack the natural look and gloss of the original factory paint.
