Motorcycle failing to accelerate when it rains may be due to rainwater entering the fuel tank or carburetor, or wetting the air filter, affecting the quality of the air-fuel mixture; it could also be caused by water ingress or dampness in the ignition coil, high-voltage coil, ignition switch, or short circuits in the ignition or shutdown circuits caused by water. Below is an introduction to motorcycles: 1. Application of motorcycles: Motorcycles, driven by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel, are two or three-wheeled vehicles that are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also as sports equipment. 2. Classification of motorcycles: Broadly speaking, motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. 3. Components of motorcycles: Motorcycles consist of seven parts: the engine, transmission, running gear, operation and braking parts, cab and cargo compartment, electrical parts, and instrument parts.

What Are the Hazards of Gear and Speed Mismatch?

The hazards of gear and speed mismatch are: 1. Accelerated wear and tear on mechanical components, leading to premature damage to the engine and transmission; 2. Insufficient engine power causing stalling or engine strain resulting in vehicle shaking. The corresponding speed ranges for each gear in a manual transmission are: 1. 1st gear corresponds to 10 to 20 kilometers per hour; 2. 2nd gear corresponds to 20 to 30 kilometers per hour; 3. 3rd gear corresponds to 30 to 40 kilometers per hour; 4. 4th gear corresponds to 40 to 50 kilometers per hour; 5. 5th gear corresponds to 50 to 60 kilometers per hour; 6. 6th gear corresponds to speeds above 60 kilometers per hour. The steps for starting a manual transmission vehicle are: 1. Sit properly in the car; 2. Start the engine; 3. Press the clutch; 4. Engage 1st gear; 5. Slowly release the clutch; 6. Gently press the accelerator; 7. Fully release the clutch, completing the vehicle start-up process.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Envision S?

The actual fuel consumption of the Envision S is 8.4L/100km. The following are specific reasons for high vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Affected by temperature: causing fuel consumption fluctuations. In winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption tends to increase slightly. 2. Prolonged lack of vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in various moving parts of the engine, requiring more energy to overcome the resistance, thus raising fuel consumption. 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon deposits commonly accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, thereby increasing fuel consumption.

What Are the Causes of Difficult Cold Starts?

Here are the reasons for difficult cold starts: 1. Poor fuel quality: Inferior fuel quality leads to poor fuel volatility, especially in winter when temperatures are low. During cold starts, the engine block temperature is low, making it difficult for the fuel to atomize. The fuel injected into the cylinders cannot mix sufficiently with air, resulting in difficulty starting. 2. Excessive carbon buildup on valves and intake pipes: The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start. Carbon deposits significantly affect whether a cold start proceeds smoothly. 3. Delayed spark plug replacement: Cold starts require higher ignition energy. After a certain mileage, the electrode gap of spark plugs increases, and beyond a certain point, they can no longer properly ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, making it very difficult to start the car.

How Many Kilometers Should a BMW's Transmission Oil Be Replaced?

BMW's transmission oil should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission oil can generally be used in automatic transmissions available on the market. In fact, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will have differences in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer has its own specified dedicated transmission oil. Below is information about BMW: 1. Brand: BMW's automotive brands include: BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series New Energy, BMW 5 Series, BMW 2 Series Tourer. 2. Body dimensions: The BMW 1 Series has a length, width, and height of 4462mm, 1803mm, and 1446mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2670mm, and the body type is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.

Why doesn't Changan support CarPlay?

Because CarPlay requires Apple certification, and the vehicle's infotainment system needs to embed Apple chips, which involves considerable difficulty and cost. Additionally, the likelihood of Changan's target users owning Apple phones is relatively lower. Carlife, which supports both Apple and Android devices, can also cover a segment of users. Here is some information about CarPlay: 1. Introduction: CarPlay is an in-car system developed by Apple Inc. in the United States. When used in vehicles, it seamlessly pairs and connects with iOS devices. These devices include smartphones and tablets, and once connected, the phone's interface and functions can be displayed on the central control screen, making it very convenient to use. 2. Implementation Timeline: Apple Inc. announced its entry into the automotive sector in 2013 and officially launched the smart car system in June 2016. This system is exclusively compatible with Apple phones, and other smartphones cannot use it, presenting certain limitations in usage. Several car brands have adopted this system.
