    Teen In China Sells Inherited House At Half The Price To Buy Motorcycle
    The court expressed surprise at Xiaohua's childish behaviour, but his mother insisted it was an unfair trade.
    The deal was cancelled after the teen's family moved court. A teenager in China sold a property he inherited worth 1 million yuan ($139,000) as half price to buy a motorcycle, a report in South China Morning Post (SCMP) said. However, a legal action by the family of 18-year-old cancelled the sale. The incident took place in Henan province in central China and came to limelight after the matter was brought before a court, the outlet further said. The court examined the papers of the deal between the teen, nicknamed Xiaohua, and two property dealers and found it unfair.
    The teenager decided to sell the property he inherited from his grandfather after his parents refused to buy him a motorcycle. He did not inform the parents and approached the property agents.
    The 18-year-old agreed to sell it for $72,000, and the property agent further sold it to another agent for a profit, the SCMP report said.
    When Xiaohua's mother learned about the deal, she approached the property agents and requested them to cancel the deal. But when they refused, the parents took the legal route.
    The court expressed surprise at Xiaohua's childish behaviour, but his mother insisted it was an unfair trade.
    The judge then examined the sale deed and listened to the conversation between the teenager and the property agents. It arrived at the conclusion that the teenager was unaware of the property's market value and that the property agent duped him to sell it at much lower price.
    "Xiaowu (the name of the property dealer) took advantage of Xiaohua," the judge said, as per SCMP report.
    Post a commentThe court overturned the deal, and awarded the ownership of the property to Xiaohua.

    Troubleshooting a Stiff Motorcycle Clutch Lever: 13 Potential Causes and Detailed Fixes
     
    Operating a motorcycle's clutch lever should be smooth and effortless. When it starts to feel stiff or resistant, it's essential to identify the underlying issue.

    Below, we delve into 13 specific causes of a hard-to-pull clutch lever and offer detailed solutions for each scenario.
     
    1.) Dirty or Damaged Clutch Cable:
    Issue: Accumulated dirt and damage within the cable housing hinder smooth movement.
    Solution: Inspect for cable damage and thoroughly clean. Lubricate using a cable lubrication tool to restore proper function.
     
    2.) Clutch Cable Obstruction:
    Issue: The cable might be snagging or pinched along its route, impeding free movement.
    Solution: Conduct a visual inspection along the cable's path. Reroute if necessary to ensure unobstructed motion.
     
    3.) Excessive Clutch Cable Tension:
    Issue: Over-tightened cable creates unnecessary pressure on clutch return springs, leading to a stiffer lever.
    Solution: Adjust the cable tension at the lever for the recommended 3-4 mm of free play.

    4.) Maintenance of Clutch Lever Pivot Point:
    Issue: A dirty, rusted, or overly tight pivot point restricts lever movement.
    Solution: Clean the pivot point thoroughly with soap and water, and lubricate it with WD40. If corroded, consider replacement.
     
    5.) Improper Clutch Lever Adjustment:
    Issue: Incorrect lever positioning can make clutch operation more strenuous.
    Solution: If adjustable, set the lever to a comfortable position for two-finger operation.

    6.) Clutch Actuator Issues:
    Issue: Damaged or corroded actuator arms impede movement.
    Solution: Inspect the actuator arm and pushrod for damage. Seek professional assistance for replacement or thorough cleaning.
     
    7.) Stiff Clutch Springs:
    Issue: Heavy-duty springs increase resistance at the lever.
    Solution: Consider installing appropriately rated springs or explore aftermarket hydraulic clutch options.
     
    8.) Damage to Clutch Plates or Basket:
    Issue: Although rare, damage to clutch components can cause binding.
    Solution: Open the clutch cover, inspect the friction plates, and replace if necessary.
     
    9.) Low Transmission Oil Level:
    Issue: Wet clutches require sufficient oil for optimal function.
    Solution: Ensure proper oil levels in both the engine and transmission.
     
    10.) Clutch Lever Length and Condition:
    Issue: A broken or short lever reduces leverage, making it harder to pull.
    Solution: Replace the lever if damaged. Consider installing an aftermarket lever for improved ergonomics.
     
    11.) Clutch Lever Positioning:
    Issue: Incorrect positioning strains the wrist and forearm.
    Solution: Adjust the lever's position on the handlebars for a natural wrist alignment.

    12.) Sticking Master or Slave Cylinder:
    Issue: In hydraulic systems, binding in the cylinders can increase resistance.
    Solution: Consider professional maintenance or cylinder replacement if necessary.
     
    13.) Weak Hand and Wrist Muscles:
    Issue: In some cases, the problem may be weak hand muscles.
    Solution: Strengthen hand and arm muscles through targeted exercises and grip strengtheners.
     
     
    Conclusion:
               A well-functioning clutch lever is crucial for a smooth and safe riding experience. By meticulously troubleshooting potential issues and applying the corresponding solutions, riders can ensure their motorcycle's clutch operation remains efficient and comfortable. Remember, routine maintenance and proper adjustments are key to preserving the longevity and performance of your clutch system.

    Pedestrian gets jail for injuring motorcyclist while dashing across road to catch bus
    This is the first case of its kind where a pedestrian caused an accident of this nature by running across the road.

    Screengrab from Google Street View of Yishun Avenue 1, towards Mandai Avenue.
     
    SINGAPORE: A man who wanted to catch a bus dashed across a three-lane road, continuing to run even when he saw a motorcyclist mere metres from him.
    His backpack struck the motorcyclist, who fell off his vehicle and sustained three fractures.
    Hu Zhangwen, a 48-year-old Chinese national, was jailed for three weeks on Friday (Sep 😎 after pleading guilty to one count of causing hurt by a rash act endangering human life.
    The court heard that Hu, a woodcrafter who made wooden doors, had ended work on the evening of Feb 28, 2022 and was on his way home.
    He was walking towards a bus stop that was located along Yishun Avenue 1 in the direction of Mandai Avenue, as he intended to take a bus to Khatib MRT Station.
    When he saw that the bus was nearing the stop at about 8.25pm, he dashed from his location to the central divider, before running across a three-lane road.
    He did not have the right of way as he was jaywalking, said the prosecution.
    The victim, a 54-year-old Malaysian man, was riding his motorcycle in the second lane.
    While Hu was running, he saw the victim's motorcycle about 2m to 3m away from him, but decided that he could continue crossing despite knowing the risk that the motorcycle could hit him.
    The victim sounded his horn and swerved his motorcycle to avoid Hu, but hit Hu's backpack. This caused the motorcycle to skid, and the victim fell off his bike.
    He was taken to hospital with fractures to his arm, shoulder and wrist.
    He had to undergo two surgeries and had an arm placed in a sling. He also was hospitalised for 12 days and given 74 days of hospitalisation leave.
    As a result of the accident, Hu's backpack snapped and the victim's motorcycle was scratched.
    Deputy Public Prosecutor Sean Teh asked for four to eight weeks' jail. He said Hu had no previous convictions, but added that there were no other reported precedents like this case.
    He cited the harm caused to the victim, who had at least three fractures, and the "significant potential harm" if other vehicles had been in the area.
    He said Hu had "knowingly flouted traffic rules by running across a dual carriageway when he did not have the right of way", continuing to run even when the motorcycle was very close to him.
    A FREAK ACCIDENT: DEFENCE
    Defence lawyer Liaw Jin Poh asked for the maximum fine of S$5,000 (US$3,700) instead, telling the court that there was "no analogous precedent for a pedestrian running across the road and causing an accident like this".
    "The accused was a worker in Singapore. He was trying to go home," said Mr Liaw. "He was rushing across the road, albeit jaywalking, then he caused an accident."
    "Something else could've happened ... it could've been the motorcyclist who knocked into him, then the person standing in the dock would've been the motorcyclist instead, because it would've been the accused who was injured instead," said Mr Liaw.
    He added that this "is really a freak accident".
    He gave an analogy of a lawyer carrying a big backpack running up an escalator full of people and hitting someone when turning "a bit".
    If someone on the escalator falls back and is injured, it would be a similar freak accident, he said.
    "That's why there's no other reported cases of a person running across with a backpack and the backpack hit this motorcyclist, causing him to have an accident," said Mr Liaw.
    He said his client did not "deserve to sit in jail because of this freak accident that occurred".
    Mr Liaw pointed out that the maximum fine for jaywalking was S$500 and urged the judge to impose a fine of S$5,000 instead.
    The prosecution did not seek a compensation order, saying "the loss is hard to quantify".
    In sentencing, District Judge Teoh Ai Lin said each case turns on its own facts. However, she noted that serious harm was caused to the victim by Hu's rash acts, committed while jaywalking and flouting traffic rules.
    She found that jail was warranted in this case.
    For causing hurt by a rash act endangering human life, Hu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$5,000, or both.

    How Your Motorcycle Helmet Design Can Save Your Life
     

     
    All motorcyclists need to wear a motorcycle helmet, according to Singapore law. But understanding the “why” behind this law and how your motorcycle helmet works to protect you can significantly bolster your conviction to never ride without one.
    First and foremost, without the structural protection of a car, the motorcycle helmet acts as a piece of armour for the rider against serious head injuries in the event of a crash or collision.
    Because it’s such a crucial piece of protective equipment, choosing the right type and fit are incredibly important to ensure optimal protection.
    In this article, we take an inside look into how motorbike helmets are designed to help mitigate damage in the event of a motorcycle accident, and what you need to pay attention to specifically. 
    It’s also essential to note that only PSB-approved helmets are allowed for use in Singapore, so pay special attention to the section below on how to ensure your motorcycle helmet meets the safety standards in Singapore! 
     
     
    The 5 Design Components of a Motorcycle Helmet
    It’s clear that your motorcycle helmet protects your head from hard impact. But understanding what goes into motorcycle helmet design and how exactly each component works to protect you as a rider can deepen your respect for this utilitarian motorcycle gear piece.
     
    1. Hit Zone
    In a motorcycle accident, the rider is very often thrown off the bike. Your head landing on the hard ground can cause some serious damage. 

    And we’re not talking just outer injuries such as a cracked jaw or skull, but also traumatic brain injuries that occur inside, such as a coup-contrecoup injury (when the brain shifts violently inside the skull), or hematomas (bleeding) that can lead to serious brain damage, and even death.
    You would think that the hugest hit zones would be the front and back of a helmet, but surprisingly - and important to note! - the most major impact zone is the chin and jaw area, followed by the forehead. 

    That is why full face helmets are always recommended, since they offer the highest level of protection. 

    Open face helmets are popular in Singapore because they are lighter, easier to put on and take off, and also cooler in the hot Singapore weather. But it’s also worthy to consider that the coolness you feel from the additional exposed area can also be a negative when you need protection the most.
    If, in the event of a bike accident, you land face first on the road, you will be thankful you splurged a bit extra on a quality full face helmet instead of an open face helmet with just a padded chin strap.

    2. Outer Shell
    The outer shell of a bike helmet is obviously the first point of impact in an accident. That’s why it’s usually made of tough materials like polycarbonate or fiberglass, to prevent the penetration of sharp and high speed objects, as well as to withstand hard knocks and abrasions from daily use.
    Most importantly, it helps distribute the force of impact over a larger area in a motorcycle accident. This prevents that intense, concentrated force from a collision from affecting a single point in your skull and head, and reduces the risk of skull fractures or localized injuries. 
    For this simple reason, you should always purchase a new motorcycle helmet, as you will never know what kind of damage or shock a second hand bike helmet might have undergone, thus significantly reducing its protective power.
     
    3. Impact-Absorbing Liner
    A tough outer shell may help against hard knocks, but just like an egg shell, it isn’t enough of a safety barrier between your head and the gravel road or pavement to keep you safe.

    That’s why all motorcycle helmets are also designed with an impact-absorbing liner, typically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. 

    While the outer shell might bend and warp, the impact-absorbing liner compresses upon impact, cushioning your head, and effectively absorbing and dispersing the energy generated during a crash. 

    By absorbing some of the impact force, the helmet (and this liner in particular) minimizes the transfer of force to your head and brain in a great way. The dense inner layer also absorbs the shock and inertia created, when the helmet stops and the head continues moving from the impact. It’s sort of like a form of bubble wrap for your head, to prevent the contents from rattling too much!

    Tip!  Motorbike helmet manufacturers like Arai and Shoei recommend that motorcyclists should change their helmets every 5 years, even if the outer shell has no damage. This is because the foam inside the helmet might have degraded over time, and might not offer the same level of protection as a newly manufactured helmet.
     
    4. Retention System
    Needless to say, a motorcycle helmet can only protect you if it remains on your head in a crash. 

    Whether you’re wearing a full face helmet, or an open face helmet, the chin straps and fasteners are designed as part of this mechanism to keep your helmet on at all times, and not fly off in a high-impact situation.

    So it’s crucial that your chin straps and fasteners are secure when you’re riding. When properly positioned, you should be able to put just two fingers between your chin and the strap, and not more than that. 
    An important point to note is that the only approved type of chin strap system allowed in Singapore is the double D-ring attachment system, so make sure that you are choosing a motorcycle helmet that meets Singapore’s safety standards.
    The best protection is a bike helmet that fits you well and sits comfortably and snug on your head. There shouldn’t be any pressure points around the head, and the helmet should not be too loose or too tight.

    5. Motorcycle Helmet Visor
    For day to day use, your motorcycle helmet visor will help you manage wind resistance, dust, fog, and generally help keep your visibility optimal while on the roads. For extra safety, you can consider getting a motorcycle helmet with a built-in sun visor, or wear sunglasses while riding to reduce sun glare.

    In the event of a crash, however, your helmet visor also serves as an essential shield to protect your face and eyes against flying debris, road particles, and other road hazards that can cause injury.
    That is why your helmet visor or face shield is also designed to be an impact-resistant barrier against foreign object penetration, and also disperses the force of impact over a larger area, providing an additional layer of protection.
    Check this out!  Here’s a really interesting animation to explain how motorcycle helmets keep you safe, produced by American motorcycle helmet company SNELL. While their helmets are not currently approved for use in Singapore, the logic still stands!
     
    The Importance of Singapore PSB Approved Helmets

    As a responsible motorcyclist, you should always protect yourself while riding. In Singapore, you can be issued a penalty of $150 and 3 demerit points for failing to wear or not securely wearing a protective helmet. So, you should invest in a good bike helmet that meets all the crucial requirements and safety standards. 

    It’s also worth noting that in Singapore, motorbike riders caught wearing non-approved helmets could face severe penalties. The current law states that first-time offenders could be jailed for up to three months and/or fined up to S$500. If you’re caught a second time, you could be jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to S$1,000. And the Singapore government is even seeking to impose stiffer penalties on the importing or selling of non-approved helmets.
      The safety requirements for motorcyclists’ protective helmets is based on the Singapore Standard 9 : 2014, which is listed by the PSB (Singapore’s Productivity and Standards Board), now renamed SPRING (Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board) Singapore.
    Based on this, testing of motorcycle helmets involving various methods is conducted by a German testing, inspection and certification firm, known as TUV SUD. 
    This organization is responsible for testing the protective padding material, motorcycle shell structure integrity, helmet visor and the effectiveness of the retention system that keeps the helmet snug on the rider’s head. 
    If approved, a sticker with a blue tick and the words “Batch Inspected” is affixed at the back of the helmet to certify that it’s compliant with the safety standards and approved for use in Singapore.
    (Source: channelnewsasia.com)
    Important!  ONLY PSB approved helmets with this approved sticker are legal for use in Singapore. Helmets that have passed international testing such as the ECE (Economic Commission for Europe), DOT (US Department of Transportation), and SNELL safety standards are not recognized in Singapore as approved helmets.
     
    Never Ride Without a Helmet!
    Knowing what you now know about how the various design components in your motorcycle helmet help keep you safe and alive, you should remember to never ride without a (/an approved) helmet!
    However, it’s possible that bike accidents may still occur even if you take all the necessary precautions to avoid the fatal risk of skull damage and traumatic brain injury. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in serious injury – whether sustained by yourself or another road user – that’s when your motorcycle insurance is going to help. That’s why it is important to choose the right bike insurance cover and protection to cater for unexpected incidents.

    Motorbike rider gets charged $1,300 parking fee at Jurong West car park

    “Came across this biker stuck at gantry den he move aside and let me go and tailgate me.. at the carpark gantry he was stuck.. All vehicle can pass the gantry only his bike got issue yet the rider complain gantry got problem.. parking fee shows $1331.46!!?” a car driver wrote
     
    SINGAPORE: A car driver was shocked when he saw a biker getting charged a whopping $1331.46 as he tried to exit a car park. Netizens say the biker could have accumulated fees or an error caused the hefty fee.
    An anonymous sender took the photo below that was posted on the SG Road Vigilante public group Facebook page on Sunday afternoon (Sept 3).
     

    Writing that he had witnessed this at a multi-storey car park at Jurong West on the same day, he added, “Came across this biker stuck at gantry den he move aside and let me go and tailgate me.. at the carpark gantry he was stuck..
    All vehicle can pass the gantry only his bike got issue yet the rider complain gantry got problem.. parking fee shows $1331.46!!?”
    His post has since been shared and commented on over one hundred times.
    Some Facebook users guessed that the motorbike rider could be a repeat tailgater.

    Others guessed that he is a gantry evader.

    One wrote, “Let me explain why it shows a fee of $1,331.46. Some time ago, this motorcyclist entered the car park then he evaded the parking barrier. Now he returns back to the same car park. That’s why.”

    “Maybe he go in but never go out the proper way. So accumulated till 1k+,” wrote one.

    “Probably never pay for parking, always go through the side. Now got a lot of car he cannot play stunt so he try to go but this happen,” another added.

    Someone else did the math, writing, “One day 1.30 for bike….. Probably here for almost 3yrs?”

    “Think he did not exit thru gantry properly previously, the system will treat it as he is still parked inside, so system identified his iu and accumulated the time and charges,” another chimed in.

    One person suggested it could have been a system error.

    Another agreed, adding, “Gantry problem. Don’t hate motorcyclist.”

     
    Another article in AsiaOne said:
    Is this a technical error, or an accumulation of unpaid fees?
    A photo shared on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page showed a motorcyclist being charged more than $1,330 to enter a multi-storey car park at Jurong West Street 75.
    The incident happened last Sunday (Sept 3) at 1.50pm, according to a Facebook user who shared the social media post.

    "Came across this biker who was stuck at gantry. He then moved aside, let me go and then tailgated me." said the netizen, adding that the other vehicles had no issues entering the car park.
    The Facebook post has since garnered over 120 comments.
    Several netizens had their own theories on why the motorcyclist was charged such a high amount to park his vehicle at the car park.
    "Some time ago, this motorcyclist entered the car park then he evaded the parking barrier. Now he returns back to the same car park. That's why," a netizen said.
    Other netizens agreed that this motorcyclist is a serial tailgate offender.
    "How many years has he never paid for parking at that MSCP?" one of them said.
    "Parked for one year ah," another netizen quipped.
    Yet another netizen offered: "Maybe there's a glitch in the system, we never know. So don't judge."
    AsiaOne has contacted HDB for more information.
    In April 2019, a delivery driver racked up a parking charge of more than $3,100 at Jewel Changi Airport.
    A spokesman for Jewel Changi Airport Devt explained that it occurred because the driver's previous exit from the area had not been registered.
    "There was no record of the driver leaving the car park, and hence the parking charge snowballed until the next visit, which took place on April 24," he said.
    The spokesman added that all drivers are encouraged to maintain "a safe distance" from the car ahead to ensure that the parking system successfully records all entrances and exits.

    Stomper Siva was moved by the video of the incident he saw on TikTok.
    "A really good-hearted person who helped a elderly person," said the Stomper.
    "That's the true spirit of Singaporeans."
    In the 86-second video posted by TikTok user Akasha on Friday (Aug 25), a man wearing a motorcycle helmet is standing next to a parked motorcycle and an elderly woman at a corner at the junction of Kim Pong Road and Tiong Bahru Road.
    When the light changed to their favour, both crossed the road with the man pushing a shopping trolley and the woman using a walker.
    After reaching the other side of the road, they stopped to wait for the light to change to cross another road. The video ends right after the light changed.
    The video appears to be taken by a motorist waiting at the traffic junction and has more than 49,000 views.
    The subtitle in Chinese said: "There is warmth everywhere in the world. God bless the good."
    Netizens lauded the motorcyclist for his compassion.
      "Brother, I salute you" is a typical comment.
    But one commenter wondered: "How was the aunty going to push the trolley and use the walker later after the rider left?"
    Good question.
