Domestic motorcycles below 400CC generally use 92-octane gasoline, while those with 400CC displacement and above use 95-octane gasoline. The specific details are as follows: 1. Motorcycle gasoline: The oil used for motorcycles is gasoline, while cars use either diesel or gasoline. Most small cars use gasoline, whereas large trucks mostly use diesel. The numbers 93 and 97 only indicate different octane ratings—the higher the number, the better the anti-knock performance and the higher the price, but motorcycles can use 93-octane gasoline. 2. Gasoline grades: Domestic motorcycles below 400CC generally use 92-octane gasoline, while those with 400CC displacement and above use 95-octane gasoline. For cars, those with engines below 1.8L use 92-octane, while those with 2.0L and above use 95-octane gasoline.

I've been riding motorcycles for almost twenty years, and I usually fill up with gasoline, commonly 92 and 95 octane. Which one to choose depends on your bike's manual requirements. For example, my street bike uses 95 octane because the engine has a high compression ratio. Using lower octane fuel can cause severe shaking, even damage the engine, and significantly reduce performance. A common mistake new riders make is casually using 93 octane or mixed fuels, which can lead to carbon buildup or spark plug issues. Remember, regular oil maintenance is also crucial, but when refueling, just avoid mixing in impurities. Long rides put more strain on fuel quality, so don’t skimp by choosing small gas stations—safety first. I usually opt for major-brand gas stations; their fuel is stable, cost-effective, and durable.

Can I choose the color of Kawasaki H2?

The color of Kawasaki H2 can be chosen. Features of Kawasaki H2: The H2 is a liter-class motorcycle, similar to the 10R. The supercharger for the Ninja H2 was developed with assistance from companies within the corporate group, including gas turbine machinery and aerospace companies, designed to match the characteristics of the 998cc inline-four engine. To perfectly transmit the crankshaft power to the supercharger, a planetary gear designed by Kawasaki Aerospace Company is used. It boasts advantages such as compact size and low loss. The entire system has a crankshaft amplification ratio of 9.2 times, meaning that when the engine reaches its redline speed of 14,000 rpm, the supercharger blades will spin at an astonishing 130,000 rpm. Power of Kawasaki H2: The Kawasaki H2 is a track-oriented sports bike with an exceptionally perfect aerodynamic design, and its weight is only about half that of the Yamaha VMAX. The engine is turbocharged, delivering a maximum horsepower of 326 hp. The current record set by professional riders is 370 kilometers per hour.

Can Insurance Cover the Damage to the Barrier Gate?

Insurance can cover the damage to the barrier gate. Insurance Compensation Principles: Every vehicle has insurance. If the barrier gate in the community is damaged and the vehicle is also affected, you can request the insurance company to compensate, including the repair cost of the barrier gate. However, to claim the repair cost from the insurance company, you must obtain a liability determination certificate from the public security bureau. Only after it is determined that the vehicle is at fault will the insurance company provide compensation. Liability Determination: Since the barrier gate system automatically recognizes vehicle license plates and controls one gate per vehicle, it can only lower based on the instruction of the preceding vehicle. If a vehicle follows too closely or a pedestrian passes under the raised gate, the system may fail to detect the vehicle, posing a risk of the gate falling onto the following vehicle or pedestrian. Therefore, if the driver violates the one-gate-per-vehicle rule by tailgating, they will bear full responsibility. If the barrier gate is remote-controlled and the vehicle is damaged due to improper operation by the security guard, the property management will be liable, and compensation can be claimed.

How to Check the Rear Wheels During Parallel Parking?

Methods for checking the rear wheels during parallel parking are as follows: 1. Taking the left wheel as an example (i.e., the wheel on the driver's side), the driver only needs to align the left edge of the steering wheel and look forward along this line. If the line coincides with the yellow or white marking, it indicates that the wheel is already on the line; 2. For the right wheel, observe the right edge of the steering wheel and then extend 15 centimeters further to the right. The key to parallel parking is maintaining the proper distance between the car body and the parking line. This distance can be observed through the right rearview mirror to determine the parking position and the timing for reversing. If the distance is too wide, the turning angle during reversing will be too large; if the distance is too narrow, the front right corner of the car may get too close to the vehicle in front, increasing the risk of scraping when straightening the wheels. Therefore, a 30cm distance is the most suitable.

Can a new car's new tire with peeled-off skin from falling into a ditch be repaired?

Tire with a piece of peeled-off skin can be repaired as long as the cord layer is not damaged. Precautions: Car tires are basically radial tires, mainly composed of cord layers, steel wire mesh, and rubber. The cord layer consists of transverse and longitudinal cords, whose main function is to bear the load, while the main function of rubber is sealing and flexible deformation. The weakest part is the sidewall. If forced to repair, the alternating deformation and recovery of the sidewall during rotation will cause the rubber patch on the sidewall to fall off. If repaired with a mushroom nail, it will cause the sidewall cords to break, leading to bulging. Service life of car tires: Tires with sidewall damage can be used as spare tires for a short period after repair, but long-term use is not recommended, and high-speed driving is not advised. When repairing sidewall-damaged tires, the tire repair technician will also inform you of potential safety hazards and advise against long-term use. The sidewall of the tire is only protected by rubber material, unlike the high-strength protection of the tire's tread bottom.

Why Does Porsche Use MacPherson Struts?

Porsche uses MacPherson struts for its front suspension due to design considerations. The front end of Porsche vehicles is very low, leaving insufficient space to accommodate other types of suspensions. The Porsche sports cars that utilize MacPherson struts are the 911 and 718. Most cars employ MacPherson struts for their front suspension as this type of suspension has a simple structure, low cost, and occupies minimal space. The MacPherson strut consists of only one L-shaped control arm, though some sports cars modify it to include two links, creating two connection points between the suspension and the knuckle. This modification enhances steering precision and improves handling. Even with MacPherson struts, Porsche vehicles exhibit excellent handling, a testament to the engineers' tuning expertise. Porsche is a world-renowned luxury car brand under the Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. It is one of the primary representatives of European and American automobiles, with main models including the 911, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan.

Is It Normal for the Brake Pedal to Feel Harder After Changing Brake Fluid?

Is It Normal for the Brake Pedal to Feel Harder After Changing Brake Fluid? Reasons for the brake pedal feeling harder after changing brake fluid: After changing the brake fluid, a break-in period is required. By gently applying the brakes more frequently while driving, the brake fluid will accelerate the break-in process, and the original pedal feel will quickly return. The hardness of the brake pedal after changing the fluid is also related to the quality of the brake fluid. It is recommended to purchase from reputable sources to avoid other issues. Reasons for the brake pedal feeling softer after changing brake fluid: This is most likely due to errors during the replacement process, causing air to enter the brake lines, which needs to be promptly bled out. If ignored, the moisture and impurities in the air can directly affect the water content of the brake fluid (lowering the dry and wet boiling points of the brake fluid). This not only increases the likelihood of vaporization in the system but also causes vapor lock, leading to delayed braking or even brake failure, which also affects the stability of the brake fluid.
