Motorcycles can use either 92 or 95 octane gasoline. Here are the specific details about motorcycles: 1. Definition: A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, etc. 2. Composition: A motorcycle consists of five parts: the engine, transmission system, running system, steering, braking system, and electrical instrumentation equipment. 3. Classification: Broadly speaking, motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc.
Having ridden motorcycles for so many years, I've tried quite a few types of engine oil and found that the key lies in matching the bike's condition and riding habits. Generally, I recommend 10W-40 full synthetic oil—it starts up faster in winter and doesn't overheat in summer. For my daily commute on a standard street bike, I stick to an oil change interval of around 5,000 kilometers, which helps avoid many minor issues. If you mostly ride short distances in the city, semi-synthetic oil is also cost-effective—it's budget-friendly and protects the engine well. Oil doesn't just lubricate parts; it also prevents excessive wear on metal components. Remember to maintain it on schedule—delaying too long can make the engine sound rough. For long rides, I always carry some spare oil—just in case of roadside issues—it’s a small habit that saves a lot of hassle. Safety first, after all!
