For keys that are not smoothly inserted or removed, you can choose to add lock lubricating oil. Below is a brief introduction to other solutions: 1. B-type pencil: Purchase a B-type pencil, scrape the pencil lead into fine powder, and blow a small amount into the keyhole. Be sure to use a B-type pencil, and the higher the B number, the better. B indicates graphite content, and a higher number means more graphite content (such as 2B, 4B, 6B, etc. Do not choose "H" pencils, as H indicates clay content, which is very hard. If not scraped finely, it can damage the keyhole). Graphite is very soft and is suitable as a keyhole lubricant. The advantage is stable performance, no corrosion to the keyhole, and long-lasting lubrication. The disadvantage is that improper handling may stain hands and clothes black. 2. Paraffin wax: Apply paraffin wax to the key and then insert it into the keyhole. This reduces the resistance of key insertion, does not attract dust, and does not stain hands or clothes.

How to Calculate the Depreciation Rate of a New Car?

Average Age Method Calculation Formula: The annual depreciation amount under the average age method equals the original value divided by the estimated useful life. Formula: Depreciation is calculated based on the mileage driven, with the depreciation amount equaling the original value multiplied by (mileage already driven divided by the estimated total mileage). Double Declining Balance Method Calculation Formula: The depreciation percentage equals 2 divided by the estimated useful life, and the annual depreciation amount equals the value at the beginning of the year. Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method Formula: The depreciation amount equals the original value multiplied by (remaining useful life divided by the sum of the useful life years).

How to Adjust the Valves on CFMoto NK150?

Both the fairings and fuel tank need to be removed, but the radiator can stay in place. Then, take off the exhaust valve cover and remove the fan. First, use a hex wrench to remove the magneto side cover, then unscrew the timing inspection port screw. Rotate the magneto with a socket wrench to locate the timing marks. When the marks are visible through the inspection port and the engine piston is at top dead center, the timing is correct. Loosen the intake and exhaust valve fixing bolts with a socket wrench, then manually adjust the valve clearance screw. When it can't be turned anymore, slightly loosen it a tiny bit to complete the adjustment.

Does tire wear require replacement?

Tire replacement depends on the specific wear condition, as follows: 1. Observe the degree of tire tread wear: New tires generally have a thickness of about 8mm, and when worn to about 1.6mm, the tires should be replaced promptly, otherwise it will endanger driving safety. 2. Observe the degree of tire surface aging: Aged tires will show a large number of cracks on the surface. If such conditions are found, the tires should be replaced in time, otherwise it may easily lead to a major blowout. 3.
