Checking and maintaining your motorbike before the emission inspection is a necessary step before the motorbike emission inspection after 5 years of use. Here are the things to prepare:
- Regular oil changes: The engine stays clean, operates more efficiently and reduces harmful emissions. You should change the oil before inspection to help the vehicle run more smoothly.
- Clean the air filter: A dirty air filter reduces fuel efficiency and increases emissions. You should clean the air filter or replace it if necessary.
- Check and maintain spark plugs: Spark plugs play an important role in ignition. Check the spark plugs to ensure perfect fuel combustion.
- Check the exhaust system: Make sure the exhaust pipe is not clogged or damaged. A good exhaust system helps reduce toxic gases released into the environment.
- Check fuel: Choose and use good quality gasoline to limit dirt and optimize engine performance.
- Tires: Check tire pressure to ensure the vehicle runs smoothly during the inspection.
- Brakes and lights: Although they do not directly affect emissions, brakes and lights need to function properly to ensure safety during the inspection.
In addition, when going to the inspection station for emission testing, people need to bring full vehicle registration papers to verify vehicle information; ID card or driver's license to complete procedures when necessary.
Dr. Hoang Duong Tung, Chairman of the Vietnam Clean Air Network, said that air pollution in Hanoi is currently at an alarming level. The main cause is emissions from cars, motorbikes, and other means of transport.
Air pollution has negative impacts on people's health, especially those who work outdoors, the elderly, and children. In this situation, inspection of motorbike emissions is a part of helping to reduce current environmental pollution.
