Motorcycle rear brakes making noise when pressed is usually due to deformation of the brake disc or brake pads. The brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a vehicle's braking system, playing a decisive role in all braking performance. A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle driven by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars for front wheel direction, known for being lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and tourers, among others. A motorcycle consists of five main parts: the engine, transmission system, running gear, braking system, and electrical instrumentation equipment.

What are the types of transmissions?

Transmissions are mainly divided into the following types: 1. AT Transmission: Officially known as Hydraulic Automatic Transmission, this is the most commonly encountered automatic transmission. The advantages of AT transmissions are obvious, offering more direct power, but the drawbacks are also prominent, including noticeable jerking during acceleration and relatively higher fuel consumption. 2. CVT Transmission: Officially named Continuously Variable Transmission, it is primarily represented by Japanese cars, with models from Honda and Nissan mostly using CVT transmissions. The characteristics of CVT transmissions are quite distinct. Since the gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, it provides excellent smoothness and outstanding fuel economy. However, the downside is also relatively obvious, lacking a burst point in instantaneous power output. 3. MT Transmission: Short for Manual Transmission, AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) is a hybrid between MT and AT transmissions. Its advantage lies in lower production costs and more convenient operation compared to manual transmissions. However, the disadvantages of AMT transmissions are more pronounced; improper operation can easily lead to strong jerking, significantly affecting comfort. 4. Dual-Clutch Transmission: Abbreviated as DCT, it employs two sets of clutches that alternately work to achieve seamless gear shifting. It is further divided into dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and minimal power loss during gear changes.

What are the difficult points in the Subject 3 driving test?

The following are the difficult points in the Subject 3 driving test: 1. Speed and gear mismatch: The Subject 3 test has a mileage requirement, and gear shifting is one of the mandatory test items. However, during actual driving, students often encounter issues of high gear at low speed or low gear at high speed. If this occurs during the test, it will result in failure. Matching speed with the appropriate gear is a challenge for many students. 2. Deviation from straight-line driving: During the Subject 2 test, instructors also teach students to drive in a straight line. However, in the Subject 3 test, because it involves driving on actual roads over a longer distance, many students gradually deviate from the straight line without realizing or correcting it, leading to test failure. 3. Parking more than 30cm from the curb: The Subject 3 test explicitly requires that the parking distance from the curb should not exceed 30cm. However, this distance is difficult for students to judge, and many end up parking too far from the roadside.
