  • Costume over the leather comb

    Hey, I have a slightly different idea again, Since almost night karnevall or whatever you want to call it is not so long away I would like to prepare. Like every year I think again something stupid from what makes people take photos of me, this year should then off on the motorcycle, and indeed with such a chic costume.Click me Since it is known still quite cold around this season I like to wear, and of course also for protection m a leather comb in size 48 underneath. Now the question is, in which size to buy the costume so that it still goes well over ? Same xl? I hope you take the question seriously, and to prevent immediately: I am not: Gay Transvestit Hanging Or even a bunny fetishist. I find the idea just funny and want to contribute in this way my part to karnevall. Many greetings

  • Supersport-style motorcycle application

    Hello, I want to make the FS for class A from 2013 because I already have A1. Now I’m looking for a motorcycle. The title says yes, I like the super sportsmen more. But does not want to come over 2000€. Someone an idea? An old YZF? Or towards KTM Duke? Have found the Honda CBR 600 CBR 600 F. Are there still motor bikes in the optical style? Lg

  • Protection of on-board electronics against voltage peaks – installation location

    After a throttle damper has died in a W202 and there are some opinions that the voltage peaks when reconnecting the battery would be the reason for this, I am interested in the following: Are overvoltage protection devices used in cars? If yes – in what number – at which installation location or at which installation locations is a simple 12V/500A DC metal oxide varistor sufficient for discharge? For example Conrad there is an overvoltage protection for approx. 11€ with connection cables. A surge protection is usually effective when it is installed where voltage peaks arise or penetrate a grid. What sources of voltage peaks can be in the on-board electronics?

  • Question about rust on brakes

    Hi guys, because I don’t move my car very often, because I don’t commute to work or anything, it often stands a few days until I drive it again. I also have a passive driving style. That cost me a lot, because the brakes from the old car eventually had “Riefen” or something and I had to replace them. Now I have a new car and at least changed my driving style, that I take care to get into the iron from time to time to keep the brakes blank. Unfortunately, i d in the test time apparently not enough on the road and there were the brakes baked (after about 1 week standing), then got rid of each other in a jerky way and since then I have the feeling that they can no longer be completely free braked. Now I’m pretty scared that already called again form or similar. Now to the question: Can I do something about it myself to examine the situation 1) To improve ? 2) ? So my idea is to take down the wheels and possibly rust on the disc Can I also check the pads? So I imagine it similar to the brake pads of my MTB, which I like to take out and grind them off if they do not run well. (clear, are other dimensions) Is this generally conceivable or absolute nonsense? Due to my last rides with proper braking, the “brake feeling” is unfortunately not as good as at first. To the age of the brakes: about 1.5 years with very little brake insert (just from time to time extra g Elats to get down flight rust, otherwise I like to let roll out and drive forward) Thank you for your advice! 🙂 Greetings ben PS: Yes, I used the search function and no, none of the topics have answered my questions this way

  • What is short distance ? What can you do ?

    2014-er Diesel…2.2 CRDI…DPF: What is short distance ? With me 2 x per day about 12 km and then again a few km (up to 10…15) per day, curvy distance mountain up and down…after about 7 km the temp. indicator is now in winter where it stops even during longer operation. If it is short distance, what can you do then (fuel additives / so I meant not to sell the diesel) ? Have read “What are short distances?”…but the second question is always/often “sold” b e-answers…

  • HALO candles – more power, less verb?

    Hello! I have just read an article on so-called “HALO candles” on tuningteile.de. Supposedly these should last a long time (120,000 km), increase the performance (up to 10%) and also reduce the consumption and the pollutant output. That sounds like a miracle… What do you think about it? Has anyone had experience with the product? I don’t know if I should believe all this… Thanks! Ciao

  • LiMa too little juice

    Hi, did someone have an idea why a “apparently” completely intact LiMa produced only about 1/3 of the normal voltage? Had first typed for cable break or similar, because the resistance was about 3x as high as normal. But those are ok, the error was on the measuring device (did short-circuited 0.5 Ohm). With a decent I come to 0.1 to 0.2 between the windings of the stator (measured on the plug). Otherwise he looks almost like new (is he actually also – about 3,000Km) Evtl are the magnets of the run. r too weak? How can I test this? I searched with the wrench all times but found no difference and he also “glued” well everywhere… Someone else an idea?

  • Oil Harley

    Hello I need some information and help…So I’m driving Harley FLH 1200 E-Glide year 7/1971 for 2 years and now I wanted to screw around myself…because I stay lying down more often and stand there like a stupid…..times it had run the air filter seal and once cell in the battery dry…Now I just want to know how it all works..I always have to fix something else but can not hurt or ?? So my problem is ….it has run out of oil for me b I wanted to burn my exhaust paint.But I also have to say that the Harley was standing for at least 6 months because there was no time to drive because of wintering, toddler and family.The engine had been made, new pistons and so it still has to be driven in. Now my question was the engine oil or transmission oil what is in the primary box???That was engine oil or because my measuring rod in the oil container where do I leave off the engine oil and transmission oil and fill the transmission oil again??Should I change the oil filter and the primary box seal ??Because it has run a maximum of 100 km…The oil filter still looks good and the seal on the primary box also ….Which oil do I use best for what ?? By the way, I am from Hamburg and would also be pleased about any help on site…. Greeting Dirk

  • Your opinion! Can you recommend an HD (Heritage or Road King) for 2 people for about 11,000 €?

    Hello together! I confess it immediately at the beginning: I have no Harley experience and would like to change this now, since I have always “dreamed” of it to drive one at some point! But now I have various questions to the among you, who have perhaps already had experience with the above mentioned models. I am looking for an HD, on which I can be traveling with my wife in the future. My budget for an HD may be somewhat tight (approx. 11.000 €), I would like to abe However, I don’t want to buy a Japanese bike because of my height (approx. 189 cm and my wife 175 cm) and I don’t want to ride such a small bike. That’s why a Heritage or Road King is waiting for me. But maybe also a switchback. At Mobile you can find some vehicles for this course. Now I come to my questions: – Year of construction: There are some HDs with a few KM from the years 2005-2008 – Can you recommend these series? – Which one of the above models would you recommend to me? Are there any models here that are known to cause these difficulties? – How much screwdriver experience or knowledge do I have to bring or can I do it without? Thank you for your information!
