Which one is the front brake and rear brake on a motorcycle?

Motorcycle front and rear brakes are: the front brake is the hand brake, and the rear brake is the foot brake. During high-speed riding, the rear brake is generally used. If only the front brake is applied, it can easily cause the bike to flip forward due to inertia pushing it forward, and locking the front wheel can lead to accidents. In emergency situations, both brakes should be applied together. A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also serves as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes. A motorcycle consists of five main parts: the engine, transmission system, running gear, braking system, and electrical instrumentation equipment.

I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade, and the difference between front and rear brakes is no trivial matter. The front brake is on the right handlebar—squeeze it, and the front wheel stops. The rear brake is the pedal you press with your right foot, acting on the rear wheel. When riding on city streets, I prefer relying mainly on the front brake for deceleration because it offers stronger stopping power, allowing quick halts. But be careful not to squeeze too hard, or you might flip forward. The rear brake is more stable, ideal for low speeds or slippery conditions, like after rain, helping keep the bike steady and preventing skids. Many riders overlook the rear brake, but the best approach is a mix: I often advise new riders to practice with the rear brake first, then gradually incorporate the front. Remember, the general braking ratio is 70% front and 30% rear, with the front taking the lead at high speeds. Make it a habit to check your brakes: before every ride, test the lever and pedal to ensure they're responsive and reliable. Safety always comes first.

Where is the oil dipstick located on the Bora?

The oil dipstick on the Bora is located in the engine compartment, at the pull ring within the red coil on the engine. The steps to check the oil level using the dipstick are: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn off the engine, and wait for 15 minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan; 2. Remove the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean, and then slowly reinsert it, ensuring that the dipstick reaches the bottom of the oil pan; 3. Remove the dipstick again to check the oil level. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, a wheelbase of 2688mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.

How to automatically retract the rearview mirror of Venucia T60?

The method to automatically retract the rearview mirror of Venucia T60 is: the mirrors will automatically fold when the car is locked. This feature comes pre-configured from the factory. Folding the rearview mirrors not only protects the mirror surface but also reduces parking space requirements, effectively avoiding scratches. Additionally, it prevents potential collisions with pedestrians, especially children, which could cause injuries or damage to the mirrors. Taking the 2020 Venucia T60 as an example, it is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4412mm, width 1820mm, height 1679mm, wheelbase 2640mm, minimum ground clearance 188mm, and a curb weight of 1254kg.

Can a slightly bulging tire be repaired?

Tires with slight bulges can be repaired, but they need to be replaced directly. Continued use may easily lead to tire blowouts, endangering driving safety. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force through the tires to achieve vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle loads; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components. Situations that require tire replacement include: 1. Tire deformation; 2. Severe damage to the tire body; 3. Severe damage to the tread; 4. Damage to the bead; 5. Bulging or cracking on the tire sidewall; 6. Damage caused by driving with insufficient tire pressure; 7. Tires that have been patched more than three times; 8. Tires worn to the wear limit; 9. Chemical corrosion; 10. Severe aging and peeling.

What Are the Reasons for Car Shaking When Braking?

The reasons for car shaking when braking are: 1. Uneven brake disc surface with excessive radial runout; 2. Significant deviation in wheel alignment data; 3. Tire pressure being too high or too low; 4. Abnormal tire wear; 5. Wheel rim deformation. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. The working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature resistance protection to prevent brake system corrosion, avoid brake pad seizure due to high temperatures, and eliminate brake pad squealing; 2. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 3. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, brake drums, and any related parts to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 4. Regularly checking the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.

What Are the Causes of a Car Going Out of Control?

The causes of a car going out of control are: 1. Malfunction of cruise control, leading to the inability to operate the brakes, accelerator, and steering; 2. Issues with the steering linkage causing the steering wheel to lose control; 3. Brake failure resulting in the car going out of control; 4. Severe tire wear or sudden tire punctures and blowouts causing the car to lose control. The solutions for a car going out of control are: 1. Turn on the hazard lights and try to stop the car before a turn; 2. Check if there is any malfunction in the cruise control; 3. Inspect the steering linkage for issues and promptly visit a 4S shop for repairs if problems are found; 4. Check the brakes for any malfunctions and replace them if necessary; 5. Examine the tires for severe wear or blowouts.

What Causes Engine Shaking When Starting a Car?

Engine shaking when starting a car can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits; 2. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup on the fuel injectors; 3. Engine misfire: This mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly; 4. Unstable combustible mixture in the engine, causing idle shaking after a cold start. 5. Additional information: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, which can be used either as a power generation device or to refer to the entire machine including the power unit.
