The motorcycle's brake being too hard and not stopping effectively is usually an issue with the brake friction pads. You can try replacing the brake pads. If it has a brake cable, also check whether the brake cable is faulty or twisted into a spring shape. If it's a disc brake, it could also be a fault with the brake pump. If it's a drum brake, also check whether the wheel hub brake disc is excessively worn. Below is some relevant information: Brake fluid may be too low: The brake fluid inside may be insufficient, leading to poor braking performance. Severe brake pad wear: The brake pads may be severely worn, or it could be an issue with the brake master cylinder/slave cylinder, or the brake disc may be severely worn.

Where is the standard position of the car oil dipstick?

The standard position of the car oil dipstick is about 3 centimeters from the top of the dipstick. The function of the oil dipstick is to measure the static liquid level height of the oil, thereby reflecting whether the engine oil level is within the normal range. The correct steps to check the oil level: 1. Place the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and wait for 15 minutes to allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan; 2. Take out the oil dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean, and slowly reinsert it, ensuring that the dipstick reaches the bottom of the oil pan; 3. Take out the oil dipstick again and check the oil level. If the oil level is within the upper and lower limits of the dipstick, it is normal. If it is above the upper limit, some oil needs to be drained. If the oil level is below the lower limit, the corresponding amount of oil needs to be added.

Will a car definitely be damaged if it stalls in water and is restarted a second time?

Restarting a car after it stalls in water does not necessarily cause damage. If the engine has not taken in water, there will be no damage, but if water has entered the engine, damage will occur. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning it in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. The effects of a car driving through water include: 1. The engine may produce insufficient power and experience shaking issues; 2. The high-voltage ignition system may become damp or short-circuit due to water ingress; 3. Water may enter the exhaust pipe; 4. Residual water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, causing a loss of braking power; 5. Debris can easily adhere to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust; 6. Moisture may form inside the headlights, affecting light transmission; 7. The wiring harness and electrical connectors in the engine compartment may become wet and cause short circuits.
