The Kawasaki Z650 has around 68 horsepower, which I find quite moderate. As someone who has ridden motorcycles for years, a 650cc engine with this power output is very comfortable for daily riding. It accelerates quickly but not aggressively when navigating through the city, and on the highway, it can easily cruise at 120 km/h. The key is its torque performance, with a peak of about 63Nm, providing very linear acceleration that even beginners can handle smoothly. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it economical and suitable for long-term use. Maintenance isn’t complicated either—just regular checks on the chain and filters. Many people obsess over horsepower, but in the middleweight naked bike category, the Z650’s 68 hp is stronger than the Honda CB500F’s 47 hp, yet not as intimidating as liter-class bikes. Overall, the Z650 is a versatile bike that balances fun and practicality, and its price is competitive—well worth the 20,000-something yuan.

Is 8 Cylinder Pressure Normal?

An 8-cylinder pressure is considered normal for a car, and for a 4-cylinder engine, a pressure of no less than 7 is within the normal range. Not every engine has the same cylinder pressure; Japanese cars typically have around 1100 KPa, while European and American cars range around 1200-1300 KPa. Modern direct injection engines tend to have even higher pressures. More details about car cylinder pressure are as follows: 1. The cylinder pressure data varies by vehicle model. Generally, large vehicles (such as Dongfeng 140 and Jiefang 141) have pressures between 6-8 kg, while small cars are normal above 8 kg. If the pressure is below the normal range, it can indicate an engine fault. 2. Since different cars and models have varying cylinder bores and strokes, this data also differs. The simplest way to check cylinder pressure is to ensure that all four cylinders have the same pressure. If one cylinder's pressure differs from the others, it means that cylinder is not functioning properly.

Is it okay to wait at a red light in first gear with the clutch depressed?

No, after prolonged driving, the car may produce abnormal noises, and it can cause very serious damage to the clutch. Below is an introduction to the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is a device that transmits the engine power of a car or other power machinery to the axle in an on-off manner. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission and is the assembly component in the car's drivetrain that directly connects with the engine. Typically, the clutch is installed together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel group and serves as the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the car's drivetrain. 2. Function: It allows the engine and transmission to gradually engage, ensuring a smooth start for the car. It temporarily disconnects the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting. It also acts as a separator during emergency braking, preventing overload in the transmission and other drivetrain systems, thereby providing a certain protective effect.

Will running a yellow light that turns red be captured by the camera?

Running a yellow light that turns red will be captured by the camera. Below are the specific details about running a red light: 1. Three photos as evidence: To determine if a vehicle has run a red light, three photos are used as evidence. These photos are taken before the vehicle crosses the line, after crossing the line, and when entering the intersection. The photo of the vehicle entering the intersection clearly shows whether the vehicle forcibly passed through during a red light. 2. Definition: Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. 3. Precautions: When approaching an intersection, drivers should slow down in advance, maintain a safe distance from large vehicles, and allow sufficient time and space to observe the traffic light. If you have already crossed the stop line, do not reverse, as it not only increases the risk of collision with vehicles behind or pedestrians but will also be recorded by the electronic eye due to the movement.

Which mode is more fuel-efficient, comfort or eco?

ECO saves fuel. ECO is an indicator light that prompts you about the fuel supply status of your vehicle while driving. When the ECO green light is on, it means you are driving in a fuel-efficient state. When the ECO light is off, it indicates that your vehicle is not in a fuel-efficient driving mode. Cases where it is unnecessary to activate ECO: In a few situations, it is unnecessary to activate ECO: 1. When the car is driving at high speed (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. 2. When a high torque output is needed, such as when climbing a mountain, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring and providing sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. Location of the ECO button: The ECO button is generally located on the left side of the car, with the letters ECO on the button. Some buttons are green in color, making them easy to identify.
