MECHANICAL PROBLEMS
 

Mechanical problems create both uncertainty and danger for the rider. In the event of amechanical breakdown, it is imperative that the rider remain focused on traffic conditionsand the road ahead. The following are guidelines which may assist the rider in handlinga mechanical emergency safely. 

01

A  vehicle  service  is  a  series  of  maintenance  procedures  carried  out  at  a  set  time  interval  or  after  the  vechicle  has  travelled  a  certain  distance .  The  service  intervals  are  specified  by  vechicle  manufacturer  in  a  service  schedule  and  some  modem  cars  display  the  due  date  for  the  next  service  electronically  on  the  instrument  panel .

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS
 

Electricity is the flow of electrons within a conductor. You can get these moving electrons to do things for you in automotive systems, such as starting your engine, charging your phone, controlling vehicle emissions, and opening your windows. Electrical systems are everywhere in modern automobiles. Having a basic understanding of how electricity works can go a long way toward helping you repair automotive electrical systems.

03

ENGINE REPAIRS
 

Engine repair is a vocational occupation that involves the maintenance and repair of small engines: low-power internal combustion engines (gasoline/petrol) or electric engines. Equipment repaired includes chain saws, string trimmers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, lawn mowers, wood chippers, go-karts and sometimes more powerful engines used in outboard motors, snowmobiles, andmotorcycles. While often touted as a separate job by commercial vocational schools, it may also be a skill someone uses as part of a larger job, such as rancher or park ranger.

04

CLUTCH REPAIRS
 

Clutch problems can cause transmission problems, which lead to overheating.The clutch can become jammed and in this case the solenoid can also become locked which means that the amount of transmission fluid needed could be incorrectly calculated and problems similar to low fluid levels can occur.Violent shaking of the car as well as producing high heat and a lower power output can be the result.

05

BRAKE REPAIRS
 

A brake is a mechanical device which inhibits motion. The rest of this article is dedicated to various types of vehicular brakes.Most commonly brakes use friction to convert kinetic energy into heat, though other methods of energy conversion may be employed. For example regenerative braking converts much of the energy to electrical energy, which may be stored for later use. Other methods convertkinetic energy into potential energy in such stored forms as pressurized air or pressurized oil.Eddy current brakes use magnetic fields to convert kinetic energy into electric current in the brake disc, fin, or rail, which is converted into heat. Still other braking methods even transformkinetic energy into different forms, for example by transferring the energy to a rotating flywheel.Brakes are generally applied to rotating axles or wheels, but may also take other forms such as the surface of a moving fluid (flaps deployed into water or air). Some vehicles use a combination of braking mechanisms, such as drag racing cars with both wheel brakes and a parachute, or airplanes with both wheel brakes and drag flaps raised into the air during landing.
