Why does the car move without pressing the accelerator? The explanation is as follows: 1. Manual transmission: Manual transmission cars have an idle phase, where they will move at idle speed even without pressing the accelerator or the brake. This action is generally referred to as starting crawl, and no matter at what speed you release the brake when starting, the vehicle will not stall. 2. Automatic transmission: Because automatic transmissions do not have a clutch, once the forward gear is engaged, the vehicle will move even without pressing the accelerator, at a speed of about 15 km/h. Therefore, if you want to move at a very slow speed, you need to use the brake to reduce the speed. Generally, the larger the engine displacement, the higher the idle speed, but it won't be too extreme because, after all, the first gear is a low-speed gear.

How to Repair a Warped Motorcycle Brake Disc?

Replace both the left and right brake discs along with the brake pads. After high-load use of the braking system, washing the vehicle can cause uneven cooling and contraction of the brake discs, leading to warping. After high-load use of the vehicle, such as driving on highways or steep downhill roads, avoid washing the vehicle immediately. This not only prevents brake disc warping

What to Do If the Motorcycle ABS Light Stays On?

Inspect the installation gap and position of the wheel speed sensor and the tone ring, as well as any contamination by dust or debris. Check if the wheel bearing gap is too large. Sensor malfunction: If the ABS warning light comes on while riding, it will cause all four wheels to lock up during emergency braking, meaning the ABS system does not function at all.

What to Do When the Motorcycle Lights Are On but It Won't Start?

First, try starting the motorcycle and then increase the RPM to run it for a while. Check if the battery voltage has increased. You can observe it on the motorcycle dashboard or directly connect a multimeter to the battery terminals. If there is no fluctuation in the battery voltage after starting, it indicates a damaged generator or the connection wire between the generator and the battery. In this case, you can replace the engine coil or the connection wire.
