Common 125cc cross-type motorcycles generally consume about 2.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, while 125cc scooters consume around 3 liters per 100 kilometers. Notes on motorcycle maintenance: 1. Pay attention to daily maintenance: In the daily maintenance of scooters, frequent oil changes and air filter replacements are crucial. Oil should be changed approximately every 1,500 kilometers (using high-quality oil), and the air filter should be replaced every 2,000 kilometers. 2. Choose high-quality tires: Durable tires are a good choice, and since scooters have a lower chassis, tires are particularly important. 3. Pay attention to speed and force when riding: Avoid frequent stopping and accelerating while riding; maintaining a relatively steady speed is essential. A speed between 40-60 km/h is most appropriate.

Having ridden 125cc motorcycles for over 20 years, the normal fuel consumption is generally around 0.02 liters per kilometer, which translates to about 2 liters per 100 kilometers; the exact figure varies from person to person. During my daily urban commuting with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption tends to be higher, reaching up to 0.025 liters per kilometer. However, when cruising at a steady speed of 60-70 km/h on highways, the fuel consumption drops to 0.018 liters per kilometer. There are many influencing factors—for instance, my habit of rapid acceleration increases fuel consumption, but after changing to new tires, it improved significantly. Regular maintenance is crucial; I clean the air filter and adjust the ignition timing every three months, keeping the fuel consumption stable at a low level. I recommend avoiding overloading, as winter winds also affect fuel consumption. Calculated, the fuel cost per kilometer is just over 10 cents, making it both economical and environmentally friendly.

As a beginner with a 125cc bike, I was particularly concerned about fuel consumption when I first started riding. I checked some materials and asked experienced riders; the normal fuel consumption is between 0.02 to 0.025 liters per kilometer, which translates to 1.8 to 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, my own tests showed higher fuel consumption in city riding, reaching up to 0.03 liters per kilometer at one point, possibly due to my aggressive throttle control. Later, I learned to start smoothly and brake less, which brought the fuel consumption down to 0.022 liters per kilometer. I also realized road conditions play a key role—bumpy roads increase fuel consumption. I recommend beginners like me to record fuel refills and mileage, using a mobile app to track instead of constantly checking the dashboard. Under normal values, the cost per kilometer isn’t high, and maintaining the bike well can save a lot of money.

My experience in motorcycle repair tells me that a 125cc motorcycle typically consumes about 0.018 to 0.025 liters of fuel per kilometer. Most bikes are optimized at the factory, but poor daily driving habits or insufficient maintenance can increase consumption. Issues like a clogged air filter or underinflated tires can easily cause fuel consumption to spike. I recommend replacing the oil filter and cleaning carbon deposits every 5,000 kilometers. If fuel consumption suddenly increases, check the fuel injection system or sensors. Under normal use, 0.02 liters per kilometer is standard, and regular maintenance can maintain this, saving money and reducing emissions.

As a budget-conscious rider, a 125cc motorcycle typically consumes about 0.02 liters of fuel per kilometer; at a fuel price of 8 yuan per liter, the cost is only 0.16 yuan per kilometer. However, during my urban commute, the fuel consumption can rise to 0.025 liters, while avoiding peak hours and riding on highways reduces it to 0.019 liters. Factors affecting fuel efficiency include load and route selection. I usually pay attention to traveling light and maintaining a steady speed of 60 km/h, saving hundreds of yuan on fuel annually. Tire wear also impacts efficiency, and switching to low rolling resistance tires helps. Under normal conditions, riding is economical and efficient.

What causes the abnormal noise when the BMW X3 is running?

BMW X3 running with abnormal noise may be caused by the following reasons: Oil problem: The engine oil does not fully lubricate all parts of the engine. It takes some time for new oil to evenly lubricate all components. If the noise persists after a while, it may indicate severe wear. Additionally, cleaning the internal parts of the engine can enlarge the gaps caused by wear. Poor sealing: Large gaps and poor sealing can lead to deteriorating engine conditions, which may also cause noise. It is recommended to have it checked at a repair shop. Maintenance issue: Lack of maintenance may result in excessive carbon buildup (such as in the engine, throttle, spark plugs, etc.). Cleaning at a repair shop can resolve this issue.

What does Honda HISS mean?

Here is an introduction about Honda HISS: 1. Introduction: HISS stands for "Honda Ignition Security System", which is an electronic anti-theft system consisting of three main components: a microchip transponder embedded in the key handle, internally programmed with a serial number and authentication key; an ECU engine control computer module; and a sensing coil located at the lock position. After normal shutdown, a flashing red light from HISS indicates that the chip anti-theft function is active. 2. Function: The purpose of HISS is to prevent thieves from starting the vehicle. If a thief were to hotwire or use lock-picking tools to connect the vehicle's main circuit, the anti-theft program in the ECU would immediately read the microchip information in the key via the sensing coil.

What Causes the Transfer Case Vibration in Haval H9?

Haval H9 transfer case vibration is caused by the following reasons: Damage to friction plates and steel plates: The vibration in the Haval H9 transfer case is usually due to damaged internal friction plates and steel plates, which show signs of high temperature and wear. These require replacement with new friction plates. During installation, proper clearance adjustment is necessary to ensure the repaired transfer case functions correctly, completely resolving the vibration issue. Function of the transfer case: The transfer case is a transmission mechanism, primarily responsible for power transmission. Failures mainly arise from internal differential or clutch damage. The primary symptom of such failures is often vibration, which is most noticeable during startup or when turning the steering wheel to full lock. However, there's no need to worry as these issues can be repaired.
