Vehicles registered after June 1, 2017, are eligible for three exemption cycles; those registered between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2017, having undergone one inspection, qualify for two exemption cycles; motorcycles registered between June 1, 2014, and May 31, 2015, with two previous inspections, are eligible for one exemption cycle. For motorcycles registered before May 31, 2014, the original inspection rules still apply, requiring annual inspections. Motorcycles that have already entered overdue inspection status will be subject to the new regulations. Below is relevant information about motorcycle annual inspections: Exemption Policy: Starting from June 2019, motorcycles officially implemented the same exemption policy as cars, allowing them to enjoy a 6-year inspection exemption. Important Notes: Although motorcycles can enjoy a 6-year inspection exemption, it is still necessary to complete the annual inspection seal registration procedure each year during the inspection period. Otherwise, penalties will be imposed for failure to undergo the inspection on time.

As a seasoned motorcycle rider with years of experience, I know many riders are concerned about which motorcycles qualify for the six-year exemption from inspection. Simply put, any newly purchased motorcycle with fewer than 9 seats can enjoy this policy, including common two-wheel motorcycles and some three-wheel models, as long as the displacement isn't excessively large. This exemption doesn't mean complete neglect—you still need to apply for the inspection compliance decal at the vehicle management office every two years, which means the physical inspection is waived but paperwork is still required. I recommend keeping all documents safe after new vehicle registration and handling the decal on time to avoid late fines. Some older models may not qualify, so check the certification carefully when purchasing. Overall, the current policy is quite convenient, saving time on physical inspections, but safety comes first—don't slack on regular maintenance.

I recently researched this exemption policy when buying a motorcycle, and found that almost all newly purchased motorcycles with 9 seats or below can be exempt from on-site inspections for six years. This includes common two-wheelers like scooters or cruisers, as well as some sidecar motorcycles. Just remember to collect the inspection sticker every two years, which is easy to do at the traffic management station. In practice, I recommend downloading the relevant app to apply online—it's faster and more convenient. This policy is beginner-friendly, eliminating the hassle of regular visits to inspection stations and allowing more time to enjoy riding. The only thing to note is that the vehicle must remain stock, as illegal modifications discovered may affect the exemption eligibility.

As someone frequently handling motor vehicle affairs, I find the motorcycle inspection exemption policy quite practical: all newly registered models with fewer than 9 seats, such as standard two-wheeled motorcycles and small three-wheelers, qualify for a six-year exemption from on-site inspections. However, don't misunderstand—exemption doesn't mean neglecting safety checks. You still need to obtain the inspection certification mark every two years to prove compliance. The focus is on checking whether the engine and lighting systems meet standards. For certain models, like high-displacement motorcycles, the policy may not fully apply, so owners are advised to keep their purchase invoices. Regular self-checks of brakes and tires are crucial to avoid breakdowns on the road. This policy simplifies the process, but safety awareness must not be compromised.

As a motorcycle enthusiast, I figured out the exemption from inspection when I got my new bike: motorcycles with fewer than 9 seats, like street bikes, off-road bikes, or some three-wheelers, are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years. The process simply involves getting a decal every two years. This regulation saves owners a lot of money and time, especially for busy young people. Sharing some tips: when purchasing a bike, choose an authorized 4S store to ensure all documents are complete. If you don’t apply for the decal on time, you might face fines—I always remind my friends not to procrastinate. Combined with daily riding, the exemption makes everyone more willing to invest in a good bike.

What Causes Rapid Blinking of Car Turn Signals?

Rapid blinking of car turn signals is caused by a faulty flasher relay or poor bulb contact. Below are the specific reasons for rapid blinking of car turn signals: Faulty Flasher Relay: Check whether the flasher relay is functioning properly. Use a multimeter to measure the output line of the flasher relay to see if there is a 12V output. If there is intermittent output variation, it indicates normal operation. However, if there is no output or a constant 12V output, it means the flasher relay is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. Poor Bulb Contact: If you have some DIY skills, you can inspect the bulb and its socket for poor contact. Poor contact will naturally cause rapid blinking, so you need to reinstall the bulb securely.

What is the normal cylinder pressure value?

The normal cylinder pressure value should not be lower than 700KPa. The following are the inspection and effects of normal cylinder pressure: Inspection of normal cylinder pressure: The simplest way to check cylinder pressure is to verify whether the four cylinders have the same pressure. If one cylinder's pressure differs from the others, it indicates that this cylinder is not functioning properly. Effects of normal cylinder pressure: Cylinder pressure refers to the compression pressure size when the piston reaches the top dead center at the end of compression. Insufficient cylinder pressure will lead to decreased combustion efficiency, insufficient power, increased fuel consumption, and excessive engine temperature; increased carbon deposits, severe engine shaking; lubricating oil entering the cylinder, causing oil burning; black smoke from the exhaust pipe, reduced engine lifespan, and premature vehicle scrapping.

Can Tubeless Tires Have Inner Tubes Added?

Tubeless tires can have inner tubes added. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of adding inner tubes to tubeless tires: Advantages of adding inner tubes to tubeless tires: After adding inner tubes, the load-bearing capacity is good, which can effectively support the weight of the vehicle body and ensure stable driving. It can also absorb shocks, reducing the impact forces the vehicle receives during driving, thereby enhancing driving stability. Additionally, it serves as an important component in the vehicle's structure, improving the car's kinetic energy and reducing driving noise. Disadvantages of adding inner tubes to tubeless tires: After adding inner tubes, the tires are more susceptible to temperature changes. High temperatures can cause the tire pressure to increase, leading to blowouts. Moreover, the tires may become harder, affecting ride comfort and shortening the lifespan of the shock absorbers.

What Does a Vehicle's Curb Weight Mean?

Automobile curb weight refers to the total weight of a fully equipped vehicle, including the mass of all devices such as lubricants, fuel, onboard tools, spare tires, etc. It is an important parameter affecting a car's fuel consumption since the vehicle's fuel usage is directly proportional to its curb weight—the heavier the curb weight, the more fuel the car consumes. Here is more information about a vehicle's curb weight: 1. Curb weight differs from the total vehicle weight and is often referred to as the unladen weight; whereas the total vehicle weight is generally the sum of the curb weight plus the weight of the driver, passengers, and luggage. 2. Although vehicles with a higher curb weight consume more fuel, they offer better stability and have more noticeable advantages during sharp turns and sudden braking.

What Are the Types of Oxygen Sensors?

There are mainly the following types of oxygen sensors: 1. Standard Oxygen Sensor: Automotive oxygen sensors mainly include zirconia type and titanium dioxide type. 2. Air-Fuel Ratio Sensor: The air-fuel ratio sensor can continuously detect the air-fuel ratio across the entire range from rich to lean mixtures. Compared to standard oxygen sensors, such sensors enable feedback control of the air-fuel ratio throughout the engine's operating range, achieving optimal fuel consumption, emissions, and performance in all regions. 3. Nitrogen Oxide Sensor: The nitrogen oxide sensor is used to identify and check whether the function of the three-way catalytic converter is normal.
