Check Engine Sound

How to detect sound with 2 tools; use a special stethoscope to make a machine or mechanic's called Stethoscope. Can also use an iron rod or screwdriver that both ends of iron.

Studies analyzing the sound on this machine is usually applied to each vehicle manufacturer. Recently there was an open class engine sound on their mechanical training division.

This class is devoted to learning the sounds produced by the engine. Especially sounds strange or abnormal that indicate a malfunction. The definition itself is the voice sound engine derived from the engine components. Sound exhaust and chain wheels are not included.

To be able to analyze a strange noise in the engine, it takes knowledge about the machine. Minimal understand about the components of what is behind the engine cover and know the exact location. Without it, this science will be in vain.

In addition, there are several things to consider when trying to diagnose an abnormal engine sounds. First, try not parked motor condition using middle standard. Because it will arise when the spin machine vibration accelerated.

Actually, may be parked using the standard middle, but in the middle should dialas standard foot wear rubber or a material that can dampen vibration. Because the vibration caused could lead sound that can interfere with analyzing the sound of the engine. Nor is using the standard side stand or the side.

Should the bike is held only. So need one more person to do so. We're doing sound checks. Can ask for help from friends or relatives for holding the motor.

Then, after the engine started and somewhat diblayer-sailed a bit, try to carefully first whether there are other disturbing sound or not. If there is, make sure the voice was coming from where. When sound came from the body, the body that should be removed first. Let not interfere with the process of checking the engine sound.

Then that must be remembered, as will diagnose the engine, fuel tank contents should be full. Because if not, the empty space in the tank could also result from exposure to noise vibration motor. Even the exhaust sound that can also be annoying, should be closed cloth.

If you have, make sure the gear in neutral position (N). Except when they want to check the engine sound coming from the transmission gear. Then the spin machine is idle aka langsam conditioned. Well, now lives entered the stage of diagnosing the engine sound.

Do check at some point the engine surface to obtain the most loud sounds (treble). Because of the potential component is behind the engine which sounded loud it was problematic.

When looking at the sound of the engine, do snaping (open gas cap) uniformly up to 2500-3000 rpm engine speed. Time interval approximately langsam for 2 seconds, then when gassed up to 2500-3000 rpm spin just 1 second.

Tips that are not disadvantaged when the content of the fuel

Often heard saying "gas station at the location A in size is less accurate. I am content there, much less than the failure by the location of B whereas the number of digits the same liter." Well do not play carelessly accused first. Although the integrity is still a question mark but could be the cause is a factor yourself. How come? Maybe you have the wrong measure, yet the size you are using estimates only. But there are also technical factors that you can control.

Here are tips and translation so that you get proper fuel:

•     The contents of petrol / diesel in the morning.
•     Stations accommodate fuel (gasoline / diesel) in the soil. Well at the time of the morning the ground temperature is still cold so the fuel has not been expanding. When filled in during the day (already hot soil conditions) then the volume that is loaded into your car is the volume after expanding, and will certainly return to its original volume when the temperature returns to normal. Automatic volume from smaller / less than the volume expansion.
•     Fill when gasoline was still at least half a tank to reduce the impact of evaporation.
•     The greater the air space in the gas tank also means greater evaporation chamber for the fuel in your tank. As much as possible to recharge before your fuel is less than half.
•     Avoid the upheaval caused by dirty fuel.
•     Do not fill the petrol tank of gas when the truck is being filled by a filler, because the fuel supply in the soil and dirt can be automatically carried turbulent ride into the tank of your car. As a result of gasoline may be contaminated dirt that harm the system in your car.

Oil manufacturers not just to one brand

Manufacturers also heavily invaded motor oil market. The title of course the official oil that is recommended for their motorcycle brand.

Many outstanding questions, whether the lubricant that can only be used for the brand that's it? Does the motor can be used also by other brands? Roughly that's a question that goes into the editorial.

Oli is the generic product, so that actually could be used by any brand motor.

Further that the generic components such as tires, batteries, oil and all that is universal to all motor.

any oil that has a DNA or base oil and additives are different. If oil manufacturers have made it all fit with the condition of the engine the same manufacturer. But, it is possible that the oil was also delicious and suitable for other machines.

In choosing the most important oil is to follow the specifications in the manual book. If the book says or advisable to use 20W-40, yes please use it.

More emphasis needs esuai yangs spec engine oil as recommended in the manual. Regarding the lubricant brand, is free because the grounds were generic products. But other than viscosity, of API Service should also be noted. Like the SG or SJ. That level of quality of oil within their year of manufacture.

Protect Car Paint

Are you confused how to maintain the brightness of the color of your car's paint? As we've discussed in our previous articles on caring for car paint, paint the crown of all vehicles. No matter how expensive your car but if the paint faded, many scratches and cracks then your car look ugly.

There are many causes of degradation of car paint and one way to defend it is to use wax. Wax provides a protective layer which is very useful to paint the car. In addition to protecting from UV rays, a layer of wax also protects the paint from scratches, oxidan in the air, scratches and dirt.

The team did a demonstration of the benefits of SO wax layer on the surface of automobile paint. This test is performed with the following conditions:

• Wax was used Jet Wax Kit Gold Series.
• Wax is applied only on half of the hood of the car and half did not.
• Both parts are applied and which are not equally doused with water.
• First we wash the car bonnet with an air shampoo pH balanced.
• Dry bonnet (we just drain that will be applied with wax.
• Then we apply a Jet Kit Wax on the hood to the left.
• Wax is sprayed at a distance of 20-30 cm from the surface of the hood.
• Use a soft dry cloth for rubbing wax with a small circular motion. We use a cloth made of micro fiber to avoid the possibility of scratches.
• Rubbing cloth evenly on all parts to 'foam' wax look no further.
• After all the 'foam' wax look no further we spray both the hood with flowing water.
• We notice how the water is sprayed to flow down both sides.
• We note the form of granules remaining water is not flowing down on both sides.
• We notice how the remaining water droplets attached on both sides are different and easy to eliminate them.

Estrangement Chain

Working set of very heavy gear chain. Therefore, the components comprising the composition of the chain is most easily creep mainly in length.

When where the dimension changes, the effect is way too noisy motors less comfortable in the ear. Worst of all, the chain could be broken in the middle of the road when out of the rail.

That's because the estrangement chains already passed the limit, namely 25 mm Ayau 2.5 cm. Fair asked if the chain is reset.

Let the lifetime much longer and not noisy, good checks done every week. Moreover, if subscriptions crossed paths frizzy.

If it's very loose, the chain gear immediately reset. But, let me maximum results, it's good to follow the following pentujuk. And example would be practiced in Honda Supra Fit.

First chain first cleaned of dust or oil attached. How special fluid or washed can also use diesel fuel. Once clean, go check the condition of Ranti and gear. Have you worn out and asked to be replaced soon.

Then the chain tension is reset when just stay loose. The technique is first loosen the axle nut bolt retaining bar panel below the rear brake. That let the rear wheels easily slide back and forth.

Next set the chain rengang distance of about 15 ~ 25 mm. The trick in the earring nut setter chain on the tip of the swing arm is set distance. As a rule, between the axles and swing arm on either side there is a line balancer.

If the left side axle wear line-3, as well as the right side axles. If it fits, wear new measure pengaris by first pressing down the chain to the top.

Mineral Oil vs Synthetic Oil

Engine oil has a basic function as a lubricant to reduce friction or wear and tear of a number of components inside the machine that works and move when the vehicle engine life. Lubricants that work effectively according to its function will extend the life of the engine so that more durable lifespan.

Engine oil is also not only functions as a lubricant, but also as a coolant, anti-rust, closing the gap machines and cleaning machines. A good lubricant should be able to make a lighter engine performance and served as a protective metal component of friction due to constant friction in a long time.

From the basic ingredients, a common engine oil circulating divided 2 types, namely:

•     Mineral Oil (Base Oil): Retrieved from petroleum mining product which is processed into oil and added material to increase the quality of lubricant additives for the better.
•     Synthetic Oil (Synthetic Oil): Synthetic oil usually consists of Polyalphaolifins that comes from the cleanest part of the separation of mineral oil, namely gas. The compound is then mixed with mineral oil. This is why synthetic oil can be mixed with mineral oil and vice versa. Base is the most stable. Basically, synthetic oil is designed to produce a more effective performance than the mineral oil.

Synthetic Oil vs. Mineral Oil
Advantages compared to mineral oil synthetic oil:

•     More stable at high temperatures (less volatile) so that low levels of evaporation
•     Control / prevent the occurrence of carbon deposits on engine
•     Circulation more smoothly in the morning starting time / cold weather
•     Lubricate and coat the metal better and prevents friction between the metal which resulted in engine failure
•     Resistant to change / oxidation and therefore more durable so it is more economical and efficient
•     Reduce the occurrence of friction, increase power and cooler engine
•     Containing detergents are better for membersihkanmesin of mineral kerakOli usually made from purified while the synthetic oil from the chemical mixture.

Materials usually PAO synthetic oil (PolyAlphaOlefin). Oli synthetic is usually recommended for the latest hi-tech machinery (turbo, supercharger, DOHC, etc.) are also in need of better lubrication (racing) where the gap between parts / metal smaller / narrower / precision where only synthetic oil that can coat and flowing perfectly.

So for engines manufactured in 2001 or older are advised to use good synthetic oil-type semi-synthetic (mixed with mineral oil) or fully-synthetic.

Mineral Oil price comparison - Semi Synthetic - Full Synthetic
Fully synthetic oil price could 2X - 4X more expensive than the semi-synthetic, whereas
Semi-synthetic oil price can be 2X more expensive than mineral oil.

Replace Chain

Discussing the meaning of the code type chain wheel. The goal is that to understand the function and duty chain, which will be expected not one choose when they want to change the type of chain.

Moreover, changing the chain wheels are still closely related with the modification. Like the larger tire change plus the addition of large variations in weight, the load or power is transmitted growing chain. Ideally, the spec chain adjust, too.

Even some who want to pursue a lighter weight and friction, so that the specification had to be adjusted chain needs. As an example in motor racing. These mounts are usually mild wear gear that its dimensions clearly thinner and lighter than the standard size.

The chain wheel is known today, there are types 415, 420, 428, 428H and 520. As used in Honda Supra X 428 size which have tensile strength up to 1.8 tons. And if there is the letter 'H' on the back, according to the chain table can power up to 2.1 tonnes. But for the type under the code, it is definitely lighter and vice versa.

Chain code is also meaningless. Kinds of chain type 420, number 4 states that the distance between pins 4 / 8 x 25.4 mm = 12.7 mm. Then two points behind with 20, stating the width between the plates in the left-right chain. Converted wear chain table, the same as 6.25 mm.

Unfortunately, until today still many consumers are reluctant or not know about the specifications of the chain that is used in the motor. They can chain substitution him all aliases used to all the gear without any problems. Though many of the risks.

Ideally buy 1 set, which follows the chain gear. If only chains, most likely not get into the eye gear. But if greatness, there will be no stopping the noise during bergasing wheel.

Another thing, if there are consumers who want to dirty another brand of chain from the motor when I want to replace the chain. Yong said, an important part to note not only the type, but also the number of chains. Because the number of the chain is related to the length dimension of the gear motor swing arm setnya used.

If an extension can still be cut. Then, the connection is locked deh wear chain whose strength is not reduced. But, if short, jointed chain wear another piece certainly would be very risky. Soale, pin power connector is not as strong as the chain would be original.

And no less important when adopting a set of gear-motor chains, see the shape of the hole and the locking system front and rear gear. Because, for some types of duck and motor sport, there are some models lock ring clip or ring bolted.

Usually the model ring clip used on front gear motor output duck type Yamaha and Suzuki brands. Meanwhile, if the duck Honda added the anchoring ring bolted to the gear shift. Who's it for the rear gear, make sure the position of the hole into the bolt does not shear-4.

Diesel Engines vs Gasoline Engines

What are the benefits of diesel engines than gasoline engines? What are the benefits of gasoline engines than diesel? Which one to choose?
Both petrol and diesel engines have a distinct character that both comparisons are striking. What is certain car sales in Indonesia for petrol-engined cars are far superior to diesel-engined car with a very noticeable difference in foreign countries even though the difference is not so great. (Segment of private vehicles)

The following comparison of these two engine technologies, point-by-point:

• Vibrations (Leisure rider & passenger)

Gasoline engine is more refined than the diesel engine. This is because diesel engines use high compression mechanism in the process of combustion (higher than gasoline engines.) But the diesel engine technology is constantly becoming more sophisticated and capable of making modern diesel engine is much more subtle than the conventional diesel engine. The manufacturer of luxury cars like BMW even has developed a diesel-engine line-up.
Winner: GASOLINE

• Performance

Gasoline engines have the Horse Power (Horse Power) is greater than the Diesel engine. But Diesel engines have a greater torque especially on lap down. As a result, gasoline-engine car drivers will feel the agility of his car. As for Diesel car drivers will find it useful when I have to carry heavy loads or travel to the extreme terrain.
If you ever asked "Why there was never any gasoline-powered truck?" Now the question you already answered.
Winner: BALANCED.

• Each have advantages.

Durability (resistance / durability)
Diesel engines are well-known recalcitrant. When properly treated diesel engine can work longer than gasoline engines. It's also become a determining factor for why the machines industrial average use of diesel technology.
Winner: DIESEL

• Efficiency

Diesel engine vehicles can be said to be more efficient than diesel-engined car with a similar capacity. Not to mention if the calculated difference between the gasoline price per liter (pertamax) with diesel fuel. Indonesia issued steps Toyota Kijang Innova Diesel versions (although slightly more expensive) into a strong indication points Diesel engine technology is not owned Gasoline engine.
Winner: DIESEL

• Environmentally Friendly

Clearly superior to gasoline engines, but the presence of bio-diesel start play down these differences. But still the gasoline engine is superior, especially with the Catalytic Converter.
Winner: GASOLINE

• Conclusion

Diesel and gasoline engines have a different character. Gasoline is more dedicated in the city where the terrain is arranged neatly and the "comfortable" while Diesel was born to work hard and less comfortable. Diesel engines, however slowly but surely began to take advantage servings gasoline engines on some points above.

Birth Diesel engine line-ups in the family car a few brands that used to only "care" in the gasoline engine became terpungkiri circumstantial evidence that it was time to show off Diesel engine technology. It's not nonsense, throne "King of Diesel" from contested, even though Toyota was "not too concerned" on the black tiger.

Care Gearboxes Skubek

Tempo gearbox oil change for too long causes the owner skubek lulled. Lulled into lazy atmosphere make this one component maintenance, to cause a fatal risk. Namely:

If the volume of oil less, parts easily eroded. If it is worn out, meeting inter-tooth ratio so rengang. Inside the gearbox the buzzing sound although the volume of oil fitting.

Another thing if the oil runs out or dry because there is a leaky or too long is not checked. Yes, because it was carried away. The risk, gear ratios can be locked or child language nyeket shop.

Oli gearbox makes gear less follows as working harder. Consequently oblak and make a ball bearing rubber seals on the axle and the house torn cartilage CVT. Finally, many components that must be repaired.

Though still excellent gearbox to make the terms easy way. To remember a time limit coupled gearbox oil substitute for regular maintenance kind of engine oil change. When do the replacement of engine oil to 4 (every 2,000 km) or after a lifetime of reaching 8,000 km on the odometer. When the new replace the gearbox oil also use oil SAE 10W specification.

To return, open the bolt 12 below the discharge. And close the top as a place of filling, for all the oil drained. If the only change, the volume of oil which included about 100 cc. But, if drained to dry, plus about 20 cc's good again.

Remember, do not get used gearbox oil content exceeds the prescribed limit. Because the pressure inside the chamber giboks higher to cause the rubber seals easily broken.

Cleaning Dry Filter Element

Motorcycle carburetor air filter in there now made ??from the dried paper. This species appears before the wet filter paper are considered maintenance free.

Filters of this type is called Dry element, the paper tends to yellow rather than red. A red filter paper wet paper type.

Dry paper filter material rather thick. So that is not easily damaged when sucking air, although sometimes mixed with some water or dust.

This type of filter cleaning process even more easily than other filters. No need to be washed with petrol kinds foam filter, or clean disposable cloth such as filter paper wet.

Motorcycle owners who still use paper air filter and spray dried enough wind pressure from the compressor tube every 2.500 ~ 3,000 km once. The part that can be sprayed into all elements of the paper, but its direction must be from behind Arau opposite direction. Do not forget also to see what the condition of the filter element is a rombek or the pores begin to close.

If torn, should change. Worried elements into the combustion chamber. Medium closed pores can make wasteful gasoline because airflow.

This dry type paper filter, although it can be cleaned but not necessarily free replacement. If you want more nice, every possible use of one-time use of a new replacement.

Although it can be cleaned, but the pore-prone paper covered dust particles. As a result, blocking the flow of air. This is what causes the gasoline to be wasteful. Because the air entering
will be less.

Dry type filter paper could be cheaper than the price of wet paper. Besides, we can interchange between the filter paper is dry and the wet.
