  • Gilera Nexus 500 speed suddenly at 0, scooter stops, but can be started

    Moin, after the problems with the alternator had settled thanks to the forum (Gilera 500 overheated after Lima change) and the scooter for 2 weeks ran smoothly, I stayed on Friday on the way to work. At about 120 km/h the speed went from about 5,000 immediately to 0 and I rolled out. Again tried to start, scooter started immediately and I could drive again 500m, same game speed directly to 0 , no gas assumed, rolled out. The scooter jumps sof in place, however, runs like “a sack of nuts”. Quite restless and it scrapes in the area of the engine or the drive. With the defective alternator was clear to me what it could be, (had after that only problems with the heat development, thanks again to everyone for the help) now I am completely clueless. For my feeling things in the area of the ignition make rather less sense (candle was changed, on the plug and the ignition coil it should not lie with the symptoms or?) I w the description is a bit meager, but if necessary someone has an idea in which direction I have to look. Greetings

  • 2012 Driver’s license made, first motorcycle is coming, Z750?

    Hello! I’ve been driving a car for 10 years.. and I made the open driver’s license for the motorcycle last year! I only needed the obligatory hours and dare to say that I have never sat on a motorcycle before to drive quite well. At first I always wanted an R6, but now I’m off the trip, because I would like to ride a motorcycle and they should probably only be at home on the race track. That’s why I’m thinking between: Kawasa ki Z750 (Need ~500€) Kawasaki ER6N (Need ~5000Euro) Honda Hornet PC41 (Need ~400€) Suzuki GSR600 (Need ~400€) I’d love to have the Z750. However, I’m not sure if it’s a little too overpowered for me as an absolute newcomer? What can the experienced bikers say about it? In any case, I want a machine with ABS! Which is the best among the mentioned machines in terms of longevity and fun factor. Bin. in despair! Wait for your opinions

  • Mirror on sun visor disintegrates

    Hello Rhino municipality With my Rhino the plastic of the mirror decays and where you can clip out the sun visor. In the net I usually find only the mirrors which are wider on the sides and the seal glass is therefore narrower. With my Rino the mirror and the flap is wider and thus the edge also narrower. Who already has experience with exchange and can give some tips.

  • First car – preliminary consultation

    Hello together, I am male and 28 years old and am currently driving my driver’s license (yes, I am very late. However, the reasons for this should not be discussed here ) Now, of course, the first car should be here soon. However, since the car purchase is only due in two to three months, I still have enough time to look around and inform me in detail on the market. Therefore, I do not ask you here for a specific purchase advice alá “This offer is great. Sc hlage zu!”, but rather need help with the general choice in terms of manufacturer, model, engine and year of construction. So in which direction should I observe the market. I also need at the same time hints, what I have to pay attention to with the proposed models. Rust, tooth grate, changed wear parts or or or or. Vorneweg: I am not fixed to any manufacturer. I am more pragmatic about this, and put the practical advantages over every brand discussion. Here are the basic data, what I expect from my car: I will also drive to work with the car. My job can vary the places of employment. I guess on average, however, it should keep the balance with highway and city traffic at 50:50. I estimate mileage at 15k to 20k kilometers a year. Can you recommend something here already, and what do I have to pay attention to? Thanks already for your help Gruss

  • Seat Ibiza ST or Citroen C4 (current model)?

    Which car would you take? Seat Ibiza ST (Kombi) Style with 16 inch aluminium wheels Built: 2010 Engine: Diesel 1.6 TSI with 90 hp and 230 Nm Or: Citroen C4 Built:2010 Engine: Diesel 1.6 HDI with 92 hp and 230 Nm I know there are two different types of vehicles but the things that are important to me are the same: – Purchase price: both are at 8000 to 9000 Euro – Consumption: both vehicles consume 5 liters in practice – Driving fun: both engines have 230 Nm (except on the Pun) kt that the seat is a bit lighter) – boot: almost the same size Before and Nights Seat Ibiza ST: + 10 cm shorter easier when searching for a car park or when parking + VW technology, spare parts are available in bulk and cheap + Cheaper insurance rating, 60 euros less + better resale value per year, not every manufacturer offers a small car as a combi — lower space at the rear — Poorer processing in the interior Advantages and disadvantages Citroen C4 + Better space offered + Better processing in the interior — Larger than the Seat Ibiza, heavier car park search So the annual driving performance is about 28 Tkm mainly highway, 120 km Täglch. Which car would you take and why?

  • First own car – 3000 – 5000 Euro?

    Hello, I am 23 years old and I am a student. I have always been able to use the C-Class and the BMW 1 of my parents. However, these need your car at other times and therefore I need a car for the university etc. Saved me 5000 euros. I share the costs for insurance, tax, fuel and washing system with my parents. Now I am looking for a reliable car, which is inexpensive in maintenance and lasts me 4 – 5 years (Bachelor + Master). I would like to spend 3000 – 5000 euros for it. I like the VW Polo or, for example, the Peugot 206. Question 1: What kind of car would you recommend? Question 2: What costs do I have to reckon with for maintenance repair? Can it happen that I buy a good used car and this few days later, for example, has a motor damage or similar? In the case of new cars, you always have guarantees… What does it look like for used cars in the price segment? I drive about 5000 – 9000 kilometers a year (mostly distances of 10 – 30 kilometers) PS: I have a car mechanic and an engineer (automobile industry) in the circle of acquaintances. I will take these with me when I buy, because I do not want to buy the cat in the bag. Despite these experts in the circle of acquaintances, I would like to inform myself here very much! Thank you, for your help!

  • Motorcycle cards

    Hello, can anyone recommend bike-friendly road maps? I would like to have maps, because I know too little about reasonable tours on the country roads. In the car the goal was usually rather fastest than most beautiful route. I don’t want to get a Navi first, because this is too expensive for me at the moment and I actually want a few orientation aids. With Louis, there are the “Motorrad Powerkarten” someone knows that? Can you start something with it? Currently I drive m If I don’t know about signs, it’s not that helpful if you want to drive around a city. Driving through Düsseldorf is neither fun in the car nor on the mopped, as I have noticed today. I am travelling in the Bergisches Land – Ruhrgebiet – Niederrhein. Axel

  • Motorcycle bought without a letter, what to do?

    Hello together I bought a very cheap motorcycle, a purchase contract and a vehicle license, and like the motorcycle in my possession. Unfortunately, the original owner no longer finds his letter (I know it was his motorcycle because I always wanted it) He wanted to apply for a new letter,which he was refused,because debts would still be open from an earlier compulsory declaration,but he can’t compensate at the moment, because Hartz 4 recipients. he has also submitted to the registration office. Question:What can I do now, the bike belongs to me now and would like to register it, but it does not work without a letter. Do you know a way??? Would be very grateful for every serious tip. Thank you in advance.

  • Mobile phone / Navi reflects extreme

    Hello all, I use my mobile phone as a navigator on the motorcycle. I put it in the card pocket on the tank backpack. Now I have the following problem: The mobile phone display is hardly visible in strong sunshine, the foil from the card pocket makes this even worse. I set the phone to full brightness. This causes that I actually always have to go right to read the track and that’s quite annoying. How do you do that? Is there a trick or a slide or something with which the solar radiation is dampened so that you can recognize the display ? Or you just have to get a (motorcycle) Navi that has a display which is still easy to recognize even with solar radiation ? Would like to stay with my mobile phone as a Navi, but if I can see almost nothing during the ride that does not bring much… Greeting, Mac
