 Ada logo perahu yang muncul di speedometer motor matic favoritmu? Jangan sampai terlewatkan nih guys.


 Sebab itu, logo perahu yang terdapat pada speedometer sepeda motormu dapat menyebabkan mesin sepeda motor mati mendadak.


 Logo berbentuk kapal layar ini mengindikasikan bahwa suhu mesin sedang tinggi.


 Logo berwarna merah biasanya akan tampil jika mesin sepeda motor matic Anda mencapai suhu yang terlalu tinggi atau overheating.


 "Lampu (menunjukkan mesin terlalu panas) umumnya bercahaya ketika temperatur mesin melebihi batas normal atau sangat hangat," jelas kepala bengkel AHASS Wahana Retail Ciputat, Agus Duwi Norrohman.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1lqfxp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1lqfxp.jpg"/>

 Berikut ini adalah beberapa alasan mengapa lampu atau indikator pada perahu akan menyala di speedometer sepeda motor matic Anda.


 "Kemungkinan karena level coolant di radiator telah habis namun mesin masih dibiarkan beroperasi," terang Agus.


 "atau mungkin karena cairan pendingin radiator sudah berkurang tapi masih dipaksakan digunakan, maka lampu penunjuk overheating pun dapat menyala," lanjutnya.


 Jika lampu logo perahu atau penunjuk suhu berlebih menyala pada sepeda motor matic Anda, jangan memaksakan untuk melanjutkan perjalanan.


 Karena beberapa alasan berikut ini, motor matic Anda dapat mengalami masalah mogok.


 "Paling minimal, selang radiator dapat retak apabila mesin mengalami overheating namun masih dipaksakan untuk digunakan," ujar Dicky Nurjaman.


 Dicky Nurjiman saat itu menjabat sebagai Teknisi R Pit untuk Yamaha Harapan Motor, bengkel resmi Yamaha.


 Apabila temperaturnya terlampau panas, pipa pendingin dapat retak lantaran tak mampu bertahan menghadapi suhu ekstrem.


 "Dick mengatakan bahwa selain itu, biarkan mesin kepanasan akan menyebabkan cincin piston aus dengan lebih cepat," tuturnya.


 Karena cincin piston adalah komponen yang secara langsung menanggapi panas mesin ketika berkontak dengan liner dalam blok silinder.


 "Piston sepeda motormu pun dapat mengembang," lanjutnya.


 "Waktu mesin kepanasan, piston pun dapat melebar, bila sudah melebar bisa membuat pergerakan piston menjadi tersendat," peringatkan Dicky.


 "Bagian yang rusak pada piston mungkin mengalami kebuntuan atau ngejim, bila hal itu terjadi maka perlu melakukan servis mesin secara menyeluruh," jelasnya.

 EscobarApart
 
 At present, at least, this is not the case.
 
 
 As the industry shifts towards electric vehicles, driven by consumer interest, governmental incentives, and stricter worldwide emission standards, Polaris has introduced their all-electric Ranger model. This move is expected to pave the way for an electrified version of another popular model—the RZR. Now, with a recently discovered patent, it seems Polaris may indeed be preparing to fully embrace this trend by following suit with similar models from competitors.

 Firstly, let’s discuss the electric Polaris snowmobile. As detailed in a patent issued to Polaris Industries Inc., which is entitled “Electric Snowmobile,” this vehicle can feature an electric powertrain. This system might incorporate one or multiple electric motors designed to drive one or both continuous tracks. Additionally, the electric powertrain could consist of several battery packs. One or more of these battery units could form part of the snowmobile’s structural framework, with at least one being housed within the machine’s tunnel area for support.
 
 
 Sure thing, it's an electric Polaris snowmobile.

 </div>
 
 Given the illustrations provided, it seems intended to fit into
 Polaris' trail sled lineup
 Although I cannot verify if it’s a Switchback, a Voyager, an Indy, or another model, the batteries powering the sled seem to be located under the snowmobile’s seat and above the tunnel, with the engine positioned below the handlebars and main frame. It's unclear how this setup handles heat dissipation, which is typically a significant challenge for many backcountry sleds equipped with compact radiators.
 
 
 It is clear from the patent that, distinctively, this electric snowmobile would feature a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with belts rather than employing a direct-drive mechanism like most other electric vehicles. This approach presents an intriguing concept for an electric vehicle, and I am quite interested in exploring further how these components integrate effectively.
 
 
 Also interesting is the mention of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) which is Formula 1 technology.
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B5wnb" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B5wnb.jpg"/>
 <div class="source-title">

 </div>
 
 According to the patent, "Figure 34 shows an example arrangement of parts from a kinetic energy recovery system within the illustrative snowmobile depicted in Figure 1." This technology made its debut in Formula 1 at the start of the hybrid age when the setup would recharge a battery and enable racers to gain additional power briefly—such as during overtaking maneuvers against competitors. Essentially, this concept mirrors the functioning of regenerative braking systems found in electric vehicles or hybrids, which also work towards extending driving distance by replenishing the onboard battery storage.
 
 
 How this system functions, whether it would be utilized for range or power, remains to be observed.
 
 
 It remains unclear when Polaris plans to release this electric snowmobile, as the company has only recently begun making moves in this direction.
 unveiled its 2026 sled models just last week
 That implies we likely won’t see this specific snowmobile before late this year, with early next year being the most optimistic estimate. What about you folks? Are you prepared to tackle the woodland paths without making a sound? Share your thoughts in the section for comments down below.

 MOTOR Plus-online.com - Yamaha masih terus mengenalkan varian skuter terbaru mereka.
 


 Skuter Yamaha Zuma 125 cc akhirnya diluncurkan untuk penjualan umum, dan harganya membuat kantong gemetar.


 Di Indonesia, skuter dengan konsep petualangan yang tetap dipasarkan hanyalah Yamaha X-Ride.


 belum ada indikasi bahwa Yamaha Indonesia berencana untuk meluncurkan skuter adventure terbarunya.


 Namun, Yamaha Zuma tiba-tiba muncul sebagai opsi dengan banderol harga yang luar biasa.


 Sebagaimana dikutip dari Greatbiker.com, Yamaha Zuma adalah skuter matik yang dipasarkan secara terbatas di beberapa negara saja.


 Rilis resmi versi terbaru ini telah dilakukan di Amerika.


 Yamaha Zuma secara fundamental merupakan pembaruan dari Yamaha BWS 125 yang ditawarkan di Taiwan.


 Walaupun terlihat serupa, sebenarnya ada beberapa perbedaan di antara Zuma dan BWS.


 Ke dua jenis skuter itu memiliki desain yang sangat beragam.


 BWS dilengkapi dengan fitur lampu kabut di sisinya, namun Zuma tidak memilikinya.


 Posisi tangan yang tegak lurus pada stir kemudi pun tidak sama.


 Tampilan layarnya pun beragam.


 Di sisi lain, baik fungsi maupun speknya kelihatan hampir mirip, seolah-olah mereka adalah sepasang kembar.


 Hal itu disebabkan karena Yamaha Zuma diproduksi di pabrik Yamaha Taiwan dan mengalami beberapa modifikasi kecil sebelum diekspor ke pasaran Amerika Serikat.


 Secara umum, keduanya cukup serupa.


 Kedua sepeda motor tersebut menggunakan sistem lampu depan ganda tidak simetris yang menarik, dengan desain bodi berbentuk kotak, suspensi depan dilapisi karet untuk perlindungan, roda dengan ukuran 12 inci, serta ban jenis Semi-Dual Purpose yang lebih sesuai dipakai di jalanan tanah dibandingkan permukaan jalan halus.


 Yamaha Zuma menggunakan mesin Bluecore 125 cc, satu silinder, 4 tak, berpendingin cairan.


 Tentu saja, motor ini mengadopsi mesin yang sama seperti model Yamaha terbaru lainnya yaitu Yamaha Cygnus Gryphus, yang telah dibekali teknologi Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) yang lebih canggih.


 Di samping itu, berat skuternya adalah 127 kilogram dengan daya tampung tangki bensin sebesar 6 liter yang cukup besar.


 Fiturnya setara dengan pesaingnya.


 Diperkuat oleh layar display berbentuk segi empat, port USB, rem cakram bersinergi (UBS atau CBS), suspensi belakang ganda yang bisa disetel pada 3 tingkat, serta ruang penyimpanan di bawah jok yang cukup untuk menampung 1 helm.


 Harga Yamaha USA untuk Zuma 125 2024 adalah $3.799 atau kira-kira Rp 65.607.962.


 Terdapat dua pilihan warna yaitu Matte Black dan Sand Grey.

 A major issue with internal combustion engines is their inefficiency; approximately 75% of the energy produced escapes as waste heat via the exhaust pipe or through radiated warmth from the engine itself. However, a novel thermoelectric generator (TEG) seeks to tackle this problem. By placing this gadget on the exhaust system, it can harness wasted heat and transform it into electrical power.
 
 
 Created by a group of researchers and released in the scientific journal
 
 ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces
 
 The prototype produced up to 56 watts of power during normal driving speeds and an impressively high 146 watts in fast-paced scenarios such as those seen with helicopters.
 
 
 However, how exactly does it function? This device employs a semiconductor composed of bismuth telluride to generate power through thermal gradients. Many comparable systems typically require large water-cooling setups; however, this particular system utilizes a finned heat sink that dissipates warmth via natural air circulation—a feature particularly well-suited for motorcycles and powersport vehicles where consistent airflow is guaranteed due to movement.

 These devices feature open exhausts with ample air circulation, which means the setup could operate effectively without extra weight or complications. Additionally, they tend not to encounter as much traffic congestion compared to automobiles.
 
 
 However, pushing this technology slightly ahead into the future, hybrid vehicles might also benefit. The electrical power produced could slowly recharge the battery, providing an additional stretch in distance. While it may not be revolutionary, each bit of reclaimed energy makes a difference.
 
 
 In conclusion, this approach effectively boosts the efficiency of internal combustion engines; however, we must acknowledge that it won’t revive their supremacy. The automotive industry is moving towards electrification, and although advancements such as these can prolong the usability of gasoline-driven vehicles, they cannot halt the progression towards electric cars.
 
 
 Nevertheless, for enthusiasts like us who adore motorcycles and off-road vehicles, any advancements that boost the efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICE) are certainly worth exploring. Should this thermoelectric generator (TEG) technology make it to market, it has the potential to enhance both the power and efficiency of our beloved rides. That would definitely be a plus from our perspective.

 Researchers have discovered an enormous doughnut-like formation hidden deep within Earth’s interior.


 Scientists from the Australian National University utilized seismic waves created by

 earthquakes
 </a>
 to gaze into the Earth's enigmatic liquid center.


 By following the trajectory of these waves across the Earth, scientists discovered a layer approximately hundreds of kilometers deep where their speed decreased by two percent compared to usual.


 This doughnut-shaped formation circles the Earth’s liquid outer core along an equatorial path, potentially playing a key role in generating our planet's shielding magnetic field.


 Professor Hrvoje Tkalčić, who led the research, states: "The magnetic field is an essential component required to maintain life on Earth's surface."

 Our planet consists of four primary layers.

 the exterior crust, the partially molten mantle, a fluid metallic outer core, and a solid metallic inner core.

 When the movement of tectonic plates in the crust creates earthquakes, these produce vibrations that spread out through all the other layers of the Earth.


 Leveraging the global network of seismic monitoring stations,

 Researchers can observe how the waves propagate and use this information to forecast the circumstances beneath the water's surface.

 Researchers typically focus on the large, strong wavefronts that circulate globally within the initial hour following an earthquake.


 Nevertheless, Professor Tkalčić and his co-author Dr Xiaolong Ma managed to identify this pattern by examining the subtle remnants of waves that persisted for several hours following the original shock.


 The technique demonstrated that seismic waves propagating close to the poles moved at a quicker pace compared to those nearer to the equator.

 When they compared their findings with various models of the Earth’s interior, Professor Tkalčić and Dr. Ma discovered that these observations were most accurately described by the existence of an extensive subterranean ‘ring’ structure, akin to a doughnut shape.


 They forecast that this area is located solely at low latitudes and aligns with the equator close to the upper boundary of the outer core, where the liquid portion interfaces with the mantle.


 "We aren't sure about the precise thickness of the doughnut, but we deduced that it extends several hundred kilometers below the core-mantle boundary," states Professor Tkalčić.


 Due to the area's significant importance, finding these could greatly impact our understanding of life both on Earth and elsewhere in the universe.


 The Earth's outer core extends about 2,160 miles (3,480 km), which is somewhat bigger than the size of Mars.

 Primarily composed of molten nickel and iron, convection currents combined with the planet’s spin cause the metallic fluid within this stratum to form elongated vertical whirls stretching from north to south, similar to immense water tornadoes.


 The rotating flows within these molten metals function akin to a dynamo, generating the Earth's magnetic field.


 As this donut-shaped area has risen to the upper part of the liquid outer core, it implies that it might contain an abundance of lighter elements such as silicon, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, or carbon.


 Professor Tkalčić states: "Our discoveries are intriguing as this reduced speed within the liquid core suggests a significant presence of lightweight chemical elements in those areas, which would consequently decelerate the seismic waves."

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1pR1eN" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1pR1eN.jpg"/>

 These lightweight components, along with variations in temperature, aid in mixing the liquids within the outer core.


 Without that vigorous movement to power the planet's inner dynamo, the Earth's magnetic field may not have developed.

 In the absence of the magnetic field, the planet's surface would face an unrelenting assault from charged particles.

 From the sun, which has the power to damage the DNA of living organisms.


 Hence, this toroidal area could be an essential component of the mystery explaining how life evolved on Earth and what signs we should search for when looking at potentially habitable exoplanets.


 Dr. Tkalčić concludes: "Our findings might encourage further investigation into the magnetic fields of both our planet and others."
