What issues should be paid attention to. 1. Appearance: A complete appearance, no scratches on the body, uniform paint, no loose screws, and no missing parts are the most basic requirements. 2. Dashboard self-check: When turning on the ignition switch, the dashboard will automatically perform a self-check to see if the tachometer needle and various indicator lights are functioning properly. 3. Lights: Test the running lights, low beams, high beams, passing lights, left and right turn signals, front and rear brake lights, and hazard lights. It's not just about whether the lights turn on but also testing the integrity of the connecting circuits. If any light doesn't turn on or there's a delay, the dealer is responsible for debugging it. 4. Wiring harness: Check if the wiring harness is neat. If the wiring is not neatly organized, it can not only affect the operation of the handlebars but also cause wear and tear on the wires. For example: Some motorcycles have messy wiring harnesses, which can cause significant wear on the wires during clutch operation while riding. One day, the wire might suddenly break. 5. Oils: Some manufacturers do not fill the motorcycle with sufficient engine oil and brake fluid before leaving the factory. Or, during transportation, due to regulations prohibiting any oil products, the dealer has to add them themselves, resulting in varying quality. For these two reasons, it is essential to check the levels of brake fluid and engine oil when picking up the motorcycle. If there is any deficiency, you can coordinate with the dealer or replace them yourself later.

How to Perform Tire Rotation on a Car?

Here are the steps for performing tire rotation on a car: 1. First, park the car on a level and safe surface, turn on the hazard lights, and engage the handbrake. Once safety is confirmed, place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. 2. Retrieve the spare tire, tire wrench, and jack. 3. Begin by loosening the wheel nuts with a lug wrench. Then, position the jack under the chassis support and slowly raise the vehicle until the tire is slightly touching the ground. Remove the nuts in a crisscross pattern. 4. Raise the vehicle further with the jack until the tire is just off the ground, ensuring there is enough space to fit the properly inflated spare tire. Remove the old tire and install the spare tire. 5. After installing the tire, ensure the nuts are correctly positioned and tighten them in a crisscross pattern, but do not fully tighten them yet. Lower the wheel slowly with the jack before fully tightening the nuts.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary After Replacing Shock Absorbers?

It is essential to perform a wheel alignment after replacing shock absorbers. Additional information about wheel alignment is as follows: 1. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angular coefficients of the vehicle's chassis system as a maintenance measure. The alignment process adjusts various component coefficients, altering the original parameters of the vehicle parts. 2. Inaccurate wheel alignment parameters may lead to uneven tire wear, resulting in tire blowouts, difficult handling, steering wheel vibration, and vehicle deviation. This can make driving more fatiguing, increase the likelihood of traffic accidents, and may also lead to higher fuel consumption.

Why Does the Car Idle High When Cold Starting?

High idle speed during cold start is a normal phenomenon. More information about high idle speed during cold start is as follows: 1. The purpose of high idle speed during cold start is to allow the car to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible. After the engine warms up, the idle speed will return to normal values. 2. Engine wear is more severe at low temperatures compared to normal operating temperatures. Additionally, gasoline atomization is less complete at low temperatures, resulting in slightly poorer combustion conditions in the cylinders. 3. Generally, the lower the ambient temperature, the longer the high idle speed will persist. The normal idle speed after the engine warms up is typically around 800~900 RPM.

What Causes Car Vibration When the AC is On?

When the AC is turned on, the compressor also operates. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, its operation increases the engine load, leading to vibration. Below is more detailed information about car vibration: 1. If the throttle valve is not maintained for a long time, carbon deposits can easily accumulate. 2. Carbon deposits can obstruct engine air intake, making it difficult for the engine to drive the compressor, resulting in idle vibration. 3. The throttle valve needs cleaning. If the driving environment is harsh, it's best to clean it regularly, recommended every 10,000 kilometers.

Are Diesel Cars Fuel-Consuming?

In fact, diesel cars are not considered fuel-consuming. Fuel consumption depends on the horsepower of the engine, and different horsepower engines have varying fuel consumption rates. Additionally, different types of diesel vehicles also exhibit different fuel consumption levels. Specific models are as follows: 1. Large freight vehicles. 110/100 (engine horsepower/10) = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 2. Light diesel vehicles. 120/100 (engine horsepower/15) = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 3. Passenger cars. 130/100 (engine horsepower/20) = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Furthermore, factors such as the vehicle's age, transmission structure, gear ratio, maximum speed, driving conditions, and the driver's habits, among many others, also play a significant role.

How to Perform Tire Dynamic Balancing?

To perform tire dynamic balancing, you need to prepare the tire and balancing weights as tools. The specific operation steps are as follows: 1. Mount the tire onto the dynamic balancing machine and secure it with clamps. 2. Measure the distance from the machine to the tire rim and input the corresponding value into the machine. 3. Use calipers to measure the width of the rim, and after obtaining the value, input the data into the machine. 4. Read the radius of the tire rim. 5. Press the Start button on the machine. The tire will rotate, and when it stops, the machine will display the tire deviation value. 6. Rotate the tire by hand. When the machine's inner side shows full bars, you can add the corresponding balancing weights to the inner side. 7. After the inner side is balanced, continue to rotate the tire by hand. When the outer side shows full bars, add the balancing weights to the outer side. 8. Press the Start button on the machine again. The tire will rotate, and after it stops, the machine will display two values, indicating that the dynamic balancing process is complete.
