What is the purpose of a motorcycle tachometer?

The tachometer on a motorcycle is used when adjusting the idle speed. RPM and gear shifting: After the vehicle starts, when the speed reaches 20 km/h and the RPM is around 1500-2000, shift to 2nd gear. When the RPM exceeds 2000, shift to 3rd gear, which is equivalent to about 30 km/h. Shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches 50 km/h. Given the power demand, the higher the efficiency of the powertrain at that moment, the lower the fuel consumption will be, so you only need to observe the efficiency of the powertrain. Pay attention to controlling RPM: For engine break-in and maintenance, it is essential to use high-quality lubricating oil. Additionally, various operations such as accelerating, starting, shifting gears, and braking should be performed slowly and gently. Finally, keep the engine RPM between 2000-3000 rpm (for gasoline engines). For automatic transmissions, it is best to keep it below 3000 rpm. If the engine RPM is too high, it may cause damage to some components, while too low RPM with too high a gear can lead to component wear.

Why is it not recommended to buy the Song Pro?

Song Pro has relatively loud noise and high fuel consumption, with weak power. Here is more relevant information: 1. Weak power: The BYD Song Pro is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, with a maximum horsepower of 160 and a peak torque of 245 Nm. Such power is indeed somewhat insufficient for an SUV, especially during high-speed overtaking or when fully loaded, giving a feeling of 'a small horse pulling a big cart.' Of course, it is sufficient for daily use. 2. Relatively loud noise: The BYD Song Pro has good noise control at low speeds, but once it reaches high speeds or drives on unpaved roads, various engine noises, tire noises, and wind noises will enter the cabin. The severity of the noise is not too high, and it can be tolerated by slightly turning up the music volume.

Are Car Cigarette Lighters Universal?

Car cigarette lighters are universal, but it is recommended that car owners choose a suitable lighter to avoid abnormalities during use, which may affect driving safety. When selecting a cigarette lighter, pay attention to its allowable current to prevent circuit overload during use. Additional information: The following are the functions of a car cigarette lighter: 1. While driving, if your phone runs low on battery, you can use the cigarette lighter to charge your phone, providing convenience for passengers; 2. It can convert the 12V power supply of the cigarette lighter into a 220V AC power supply to charge electrical appliances such as laptops and electric fans; 3. By connecting to the car cigarette lighter, you can have hot water to drink while driving, especially in cold weather, making a car-mounted hot water cup more convenient.

How to Check Vehicle Demerit Points?

Driver's license demerit point inquiry refers to checking the penalty points incurred due to traffic violations of motor vehicles through SMS, phone calls, or online methods. There are five ways to check traffic violations: 1. Office Hall: Visit the office halls of traffic police branches in various districts and counties to inquire through touch-screen terminals; 2. Service Website: Log in to the public service websites of the local Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Bureau, locate the inquiry section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to inquire; 3. Call the inquiry hotline; 4. Send an SMS to inquire about violations; 5. Use traffic violation inquiry tools by entering license plate information.

What to Do When There's Water Inside the Car?

Here are the methods to handle water inside the car: 1. Air drying or blow drying: If it does not affect normal use, let the water dry naturally, or use a hairdryer to blow the wet areas to speed up evaporation. 2. Professional repair: Seek professional inspection and maintenance to avoid greater losses, such as short circuits caused by water ingress. 3. Drain valve release: Release water through the door drain valve. Here are the relevant precautions: 1. Avoid electrical short circuits: Remove the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent electrical components from short-circuiting due to water. 2. Check the engine: First, check if the engine cylinders have water ingress, which can bend connecting rods and damage the engine. 3. Check the engine oil: Water in the oil can cause it to deteriorate, losing its lubricating properties and leading to excessive engine wear. 4. Check the transmission: Water in the transmission can degrade the gear oil, causing gear wear. 5. Check the brake fluid: Water in the brake fluid can deteriorate it, leading to brake failure. 6. Check the exhaust pipe: Remove accumulated water promptly to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor. 7. Check the battery: Replace the electrolyte if necessary.

What are the effects of not changing transmission fluid for a long time?

Here are the effects of not changing transmission fluid for a long time: 1. Gear corrosion: The pH value of the transmission fluid will change, causing corrosion to the gears inside the transmission. 2. Deterioration of lubrication: Transmission fluid continuously decomposes with use and time. If not replaced, its viscosity and lubricity will continuously decline and adhere to critical components. Friction from contaminated fluid can cause metal particles floating in the oil to continuously scratch bearings, races, gears, and other components, potentially leading to transmission shaking, inability to shift, misalignment, or even gear and bearing breakage. 3. Internal transmission blockage: Various contaminants can form inside the transmission, and combined with metal particles, they can clog the transmission, check valves, and filters, leading to abnormal internal pressure. Automatic transmissions require precise pressure for operation, and abnormal pressure can cause transmission seal failure; manual transmissions may experience shifting failure or gear misalignment if clogged. 4. Transmission overheating: Besides lubrication, transmission fluid also cools the transmission. Prolonged failure to replace old fluid can cause the transmission to overheat continuously. This heat weakens the viscosity and lubricity of the transmission fluid, generating additional friction.

How many points are deducted for turning straight?

Turning straight will result in a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Below are the relevant details: 1. Different nature, different penalties: The severity of the penalty varies depending on the nature of the road. If you fail to drive in the designated lane (turning left from a straight lane) on highways or urban expressways, you will be penalized with 3 points deducted and a small fine. If you fail to drive in the designated lane (turning left from a straight lane) on roads other than highways or urban expressways, you will only receive a small fine without any points deducted. 2. Reason for violation: Turning left from a straight lane primarily violates Article 90 of China's 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' which states that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage rules will be given a warning or a small fine, and in general cases, 2 points will also be deducted.
