Motorcycle clutch is located on the left handlebar head, and the brake is in front of the right foot pedal. Function of motorcycle clutch: To transmit or cut off power transmission between the engine crankshaft and the gearbox, enabling gear shifting and gearbox speed matching at different times. Methods to determine clutch wear: When the engine speed remains unchanged, a noticeable decrease in driving speed compared to before is felt; while driving, it's observed that although the engine speed increases, the vehicle speed changes insignificantly; when the main stand is raised to lift the rear wheel off the ground, engaging first gear, maintaining a small throttle, and slowly pressing the rear brake pedal, it's clearly felt that the rear wheel starts to brake, but the engine speed does not decrease significantly; when changing the engine oil, if there are small gray substances in the black oil, it can be judged as clutch wear.

How to Use a Car Roof Rack?

A common method is to install a roof box on the car roof via the roof rack. However, before installing the roof box, you need to mount crossbars on the roof rails. The installation process for integrated roof rails and separate roof rails is quite similar—both use screws to secure the brackets, and the bracket positions are highly flexible, though the bracket structures may differ in shape. Once installed, the rack is ready for use. Below are precautions for using a roof rack: 1. Regularly check the tightness of the screws; ensure cargo is securely fastened or fixed on the rack and evenly distributed. Avoid sudden braking whenever possible. Do not exceed the rack's designed load capacity. 2. Consider factors such as product safety, maximum load capacity, compatibility, wind resistance and noise, appearance and design selection, long-term usage needs, and cost calculations.

What Causes Vibration When Lightly Braking but Not When Braking Hard?

Possible reasons for vibration when lightly braking but not when braking hard are as follows: 1. Uneven brake disc surface with excessive radial runout. During braking, the brake pads intermittently contact the uneven disc, causing fluctuating braking force and resulting in body vibration, which is typically noticeable during light braking. 2. Significant deviation in wheel alignment data, especially incorrect front wheel alignment angles or excessive toe-in. This condition makes the vehicle harder to control during acceleration, with minor vibrations that simply feel awkward to drive. 3. Tire pressure that is either too high or too low. Excessively high tire pressure causes more pronounced body vibration at higher speeds, while low tire pressure leads to a floating sensation and drifting. 4. Abnormal tire wear. Misaligned wheels or deformed rims cause uneven tire surface wear, leading to body vibration during driving.

What does TCS mean in a car?

TCS stands for Traction Control System. TCS greatly enhances the stability of a car. When driving on slippery roads, a car without TCS is prone to wheel spin during acceleration. If the rear wheels spin, it can cause the car to fishtail; if the front wheels spin, the car's direction may become uncontrollable, leading to a drift to one side. Here is more information about TCS: 1. The TCS system is enabled by default on most vehicles, but the owner can turn it off based on actual conditions. When the traction control system is turned off, the system will not limit wheel spin, and the driving style should be adjusted accordingly. 2. The role of the TCS system is to ensure the car obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions, so it is best to keep it enabled unless there are special circumstances.

How to Deal with Car Jerking When Accelerating?

Methods to deal with car jerking when accelerating: 1. The main cause of the issue is the accumulation of carbon deposits in components such as the throttle body, intake manifold, and valves. These deposits absorb some gasoline when the engine is cold. Once the engine warms up, the gasoline evaporates, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture during idle, which results in unstable idle speed. 2. It is necessary to inspect not only the throttle body and idle control valve but also the carbon deposits and dirt in the intake manifold. Excessive buildup can alter the cross-sectional area of the air passage, preventing the control unit from accurately regulating the idle air intake. This can cause the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, leading to abnormal combustion and engine jerking. 3. Additionally, it is important to check if the carbon canister is malfunctioning.

What to do if the ETC falls off?

ETC needs to be reinstalled and reactivated if it falls off. The installation process for the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU. The red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film on the back of the OBU and stick it to the installation location. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. Method to activate the ETC device: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a QR code for downloading is provided on the electronic tag). Enter the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

What Causes the Sound of Water Sloshing When Driving?

Causes of water sloshing sounds inside the car: 1. The sound of circulating water from the water pump, which is a normal phenomenon. 2. The drain holes at the bottom of the doors are blocked by mud or sand, causing rainwater to accumulate inside the door and unable to drain. This results in water sloshing sounds when braking or driving on uneven roads. 3. A clogged air conditioning drain hole can cause water accumulation in the evaporator box, leading to water sloshing sounds while driving. When water enters the door and remains trapped in a sealed space for a long time without evaporating, it produces sloshing sounds. Car owners should promptly check the drain holes inside the doors to prevent them from getting clogged.
