  • Ducati Monster the right bike for me?

    Hi guys, I’m new here in the forum and my search unfortunately did not yield anything. Short to me, I am 36 and drive about 10 years motorcycle. My first bike was a ninja about 6 years, then my wife became pregnant and I switched to a VN 750 because of child. But I was never really satisfied with the low performance and the bad corner position, is just ne Chopper now I want something else. In question would come a monster or hornet, whereby the monsters more suit me. Mei n budget is 4k. I have read that the monsters want to be warm for a certain time, because I also want to drive them for the work path which is just 30km I don’t know if they thank me for that. Do you get for 4k something decent where you don’t have to do something all the time? Maybe you can help me with my decision. Greetings Daniel

  • Ducati as an Anfaneger?

    Hello guys, I’m a newcomer in the world of the motorcycle, but absolutely Ducati fan. I’m just about to make my driving license, but I’ll be forced to drive 2 years with 34hp. I’d like to know if a Ducati Monster 696 or a Hypermotard is too high for the beginning. I tend to the Hypermotard more and would like to get those too, but before I do, I’d like to know if it’s really advisable or if I’d rather start small n should. filip

  • Problem with the side stand

    Hello, I’m new here and need urgent help. I bought a 748s two years ago and am very happy with the vehicle. Unfortunately, one of the previous owners had fun doing handicrafts and created more problems than to improve the vehicle. So he pulled out the side stand switch, among other things. He probably wanted to achieve that he can run the engine in the stand. This works too, but as one can think, it is also possible after this procedure. I want to restore the original condition. I don’t know how to connect the side stand. Can someone please send me some pictures of how the cable runs from the side stand switch to the side stand relay? Where is this relay located? Thank you very much.

  • Beginners- 191cm – 796 vs. 1100(S) vs. 1100 EVO

    Servus together, short to me. Beginners, 23, 191cm tall and still 1.5 years probation time. I am faced with the agony of choice which machine I buy. It will probably run out on Ducati or a Z800e. During the week I would drive to work and university and then on the weekend then Landstraße, because I live in Munich. Besides, I plan to do the one or other tour and for shorter distances (about 3h) also take a Sozia with me. Actually I wanted to spend a maximum of 800€, thus would have dropped out of the EVO. But now I’ve seen that there is more for 700-800€, partly already EVOs. Would a 1100er, of the size better suited, than a 796er ? If yes, it would make sense to invest the 700-800€ extra for the EVO ? To drive a tour or take a socialia for a few hours should go on a 1100 nevertheless, or ? PS: Shit…. I think I should admit that the monsters are too small for me or ? Did just still have a few threads read and apparently most people over 185cm are not really lucky, whether 796 or 1100….

  • TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE

    Hello community. Is there some (or many) Triumph Speed Triple (like other models) riders. Then let’s start a lively discussion here. I had/have some Pesch with my Speedy, e.g. fan defective, tacho failed, battery juice lasts only 13 hours. And once fell on the face. At the moment “You” is in the workshop. By the way, soon there will be a new software update for the Blackbox. So “Friends” Please report abundantly and make contributions, above all.

  • Set valves ???

    so after the start problem of my 924 has now been solved, a new one is waiting, with all the others in the 5th the belt squeaks, what I think is regulated with the time since the belt is new, and only two days ago I was strained. the problem the mic at the moment is more dead that the motor is heavily clacked and just with the speed of the car always clacks louder. the problem could not be properly adjusted valves or ??? a vw workshop wants for the e put in first special goods and 60 euro at least for one, however, it could also be a problem with the hydro chairs and not at all that of the valves. how can you find this ?? in empty run or if you go without a walk on the gas clacks even nothing, only with inserted passage from 2000 u/min always louder. how would you proceed ??? are 60 euro too much or appropriate ??? and still a try, somewhere it blows off, because the exhaust is brand new I think it is the Kruemer, how high is the wall at the change and can I do it myself as a screwdrift, or can it even be only the Kruemmer gaskets ?? many thanks in advance

  • Purchase of my first car

    Hello people! Since today I am registered in this forum and have an important question: I am 21 years old and have been looking for a suitable car for me for a long time. Basically I am interested in the Ford and Opel models from the beginning to the end of the 70s (various Taunus, record, etc.). However, as I am still in training, one can think that I don’t have the money for a fully restored object, but also no money for it. I’ve been able to discover many great offers on the internet, but I’m not always sure if the model is really as great as it is described. Now I wanted to ask what I should pay special attention to in the descriptions and what price I have to adjust to if I want to have a car, that on the one hand it will do its service for 2-4 years, without causing big expenses, whether the asp ekt “e.g. TÜV bis 05/06” also proves a reasonably good preservation and whether these cars are perhaps already too bad for everyday life, or not. I would be very happy about many posts.
