The fuel tank capacity varies among different brands and engine displacements of motorcycles. For domestic scooters with 100CC or 125CC displacement, the fuel tank capacity is approximately 6.5 liters. Motorcycle design features: They utilize a continuously variable transmission with an automatic clutch, lacking gear designs. After starting, simply twist the throttle to move, and releasing the throttle will gradually slow down until stopping. Additionally, motorcycle wheels are smaller than those of other vehicles, with most transmission systems using belt drives. Motorcycle maintenance methods: There's little difference in motorcycle maintenance. The key is to check for oil leaks. Even without leaks, change the oil every 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers. Replacing brake pads annually is safest. Whether it's foot-operated or hand-operated rear brakes, adjust them to be looser and softer; otherwise, it's prone to skidding or overturning.

Why Can't the Power Take-Off (PTO) Engage?

The reasons why the power take-off (PTO) cannot engage are: insufficient air pressure; piston sticking; damage to the PTO cylinder piston seal causing air leakage. Below are detailed explanations of the causes: Insufficient air pressure: Observe the value on the air pressure gauge. If the air pressure is below the working pressure, increase the throttle to raise the air pressure. If the air pressure is normal, check whether the air pipes before and after the electromagnetic air valve are blocked or if there are any cracks causing air leakage. If there is air leakage, repair it to maintain normal air pressure. Piston sticking: In this case, the PTO cylinder should be disassembled, the piston rod removed, and the piston inspected. Replace the piston or O-ring as necessary and clean the dirt from the inner wall of the cylinder.

Can the 14th-generation Sylphy use 95-octane gasoline?

14th-generation Sylphy cannot use 95-octane gasoline; it should use 92-octane gasoline, as this octane rating is recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline octane rating in the user manual, the 14th-generation Sylphy's fuel tank cap also indicates the recommended octane rating. Generally, the octane rating can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. For higher compression ratios, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required octane rating, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the 14th-generation Sylphy occasionally uses the wrong octane rating, simply switch back to the correct one after refueling. However, prolonged use of the wrong octane rating can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using higher-octane fuel will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane fuel can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders. In extreme cases, it may even lead to cylinder scoring.

Why does the Kawasaki Ninja twin-cylinder make noise when shifting gears while moving but not when idling?

The main reasons why the Kawasaki Ninja twin-cylinder makes noise when shifting gears while moving but not when idling are as follows: Shifting into reverse before coming to a complete stop: If the vehicle hasn't completely stopped before shifting into reverse, the tremendous force can damage the planetary gear set or even destroy the entire transmission. Stomping the throttle directly to the floor: Automatic transmission programming evaluates the driver's power needs based on factors like vehicle speed, load, and throttle position to adjust to different gears. To prevent frequent gear shifting, the programming intentionally incorporates slight delays - meaning the transmission won't immediately upshift when sufficient power is available, nor will it immediately downshift when slightly lacking power.

What is the correct effective length of a safety belt's lanyard?

The effective length of the lanyard should not exceed 2 meters. In special circumstances where a lanyard longer than 2 meters is required, a shock absorber should be added to the lanyard. Safety belt regulations: According to Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use safety belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. Function of safety belts: Safety belts are an important protective device for vehicle occupants. They must be fastened during travel, especially when driving on highways. Without a fastened safety belt, occupants could potentially be ejected from the vehicle at high speeds.

Is there a concept of wrong-way driving on crosswalks?

There is a concept of wrong-way driving on crosswalks. Pedestrians should walk on the right side when using crosswalks or sidewalks; otherwise, it is considered wrong-way driving, and the pedestrian will be fully responsible for any consequences. Penalties for wrong-way driving on ordinary roads: Illegal overtaking and wrong-way driving on urban roads will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. For motor vehicles driving in reverse, going the wrong way, or making U-turns across the central divider on highways, the penalty is an immediate 12-point deduction. Behaviors resulting in a 6-point deduction: Driving with a temporarily suspended license: Once your driver's license is suspended, you must not drive again. Otherwise, you will face an additional 6-point deduction. Driving in the emergency lane: The emergency lane, also known as the life lane, is reserved for ambulances and tow trucks to quickly reach accident scenes.

How Long Does the Original Windshield Washer Fluid Last?

How long the windshield washer fluid in a new car lasts mainly depends on the frequency of use. You should replenish it when it runs out, as there is no fixed replenishment cycle. Introduction to Windshield Washer Fluid: Commonly known as automotive windshield cleaning fluid, it is a consumable item in vehicle usage. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid primarily consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. It is commonly referred to as windshield washer fluid. Performance of Windshield Washer Fluid: Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid typically has functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal. Antifreeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze effects and quickly dissolving frost.
