  • CBR 1100 XX – ABS upgrade?

    Hello all, I wanted to buy a CBR 1100 XX Baujar 1999 and I noticed that this bike has no ABS and then I ask you if it would be wise to upgrade ABS or not? Because I am very important to me, especially with motorcycles that will have significantly more than 34 HP later. In addition, someone knows what it looks like with the price performance ratio? Do I have to pay attention to something when buying, at special flaws? What does the super bike handlebar, in comparison how can I make it reasonable tours? Or do you advise me completely from the bike, if there are good alternatives? I would be very happy about an answer LG Fritzy94

  • Honda CBR 600 rr Xenon HID conversion

    Hello I wanted to convert my motorcycle to Xenon HID in winter, because my light is very weak in the dark, above all. Does anyone already have any experience with it? And does someone have a page where you can buy good xenon lights, and not some cheap ebay cranes? I’m aware of the fact that all this is not quite legal and therefore you don’t have to point me out any more greetings

  • Check light, error code 16891, idle speed above setpoint, instructions for cleaning throttle flap

    I thought that topic with the dirty throttle flap to pick up and how to clean it. Background is that the day before yesterday the check light went on and the error code 16891- Idle speed control over set value Causes throttle flaps control unit – occurred. In the workshop they wanted to order parts again, install them and I quote: “Let’s see if the error is gone”. That smelled for me immediately after arbitrary repairs with thick prices without But luckily there is MT and I also found out immediately that a dirty throttle valve or a broken vacuum hose can be the cause. I removed the throttle valve, cleaned it (that was bitterly necessary!) and re-learned it. I found how to do this in this very useful guide, which helped me solve the problem.Instructions The instructions refer to golf and bora, but the throttle valve is also with the lupo (at least 1.0 AUC) quickly found. In addition, simply decompose the engine cover and you can see it already. During the removal I also found a broken hose, which I initially covered with Tesa, until I bought a new one. After I had installed the hose and the throttle flap again, I had still learned the throttle. by disconnecting the battery also the error message was deleted and the check light is off. The throttle flap now and again I become sour I have the feeling that the motor is running a little more spooky. But it can also be imaginable… So if the mistake occurs in you, clean your throttle first, you could save a lot of money….

  • Lupo without airbags What does the law say?

    Hello, I bought this lupo here, and a colleague now said to me that I can’t buy the car at all or he can’t sell it because the airbags are not in it. It would be forbidden to sell a car without airbag because it’s legal if a car has an aribag that it has to have it or something like that. Wanted to secure me for a moment and pick me up with you, certainly know you better with it.

  • Reverse of the automatic doesn’t want to go right

    Hello everyone! If I put in the reverse gear there is a small back but it does not move! Does anyone have a hint what that can be? All forward gears are running perfectly! It is a 850 GLT 20V

  • Hello dear moose friends

    In 2002, before the birth of our son, I bought a well-preserved 850er, with 2.5 L 125 Kw and three years later converted to LPG. Everything wonderful, except for the fact that the indicator for the engine control went on, demand with the retrofitter, lights would be ́no problem, the car drives well. This year on summer holidays ! went off, the car reacts and hangs not properly on the gas.No power, exhaust totally tight, Kat and the two lambda probes changed, car drives is a After a few days, the problem started again, the car is not well connected to the gas, LPG operation is much better, but this condition is of course no solution. Go to the friendly and let the car read out with the diagnostic device, several fault points, point to air mass meters. Got me an LMM ( no original goods ) and replaced, the old one was indeed the glow wire. Problem in petrol operation: stuttering, re The problems seem to disappear when switching to the LPG operation, who knows. My question, do I have to reset the LMM, do only the original LMM, or could this described problem also have other causes. Motor is ok according to the car repair shop. Does someone know a reliable car mechanic in the vicinity of Cologne, who is well acquainted with Volvo? Slowly I really lose my faith, especially a Swede, because I would be very happy about an answer, Moose96

  • Performance hole

    Hello everyone! I have read here in the forum more often how about lack of performance at the CTR was talked about (“sometimes he goes sow and then I think there is at least 20 hp missing again). I experienced this myself and analyzed it together with my Honda dealer. If it helps you, it actually seems to be that it lies at the i in front of the vtec. Because supposedly the motor electronics switch over to “saving mode” in a moderate way, so that less gasoline is consumed. ss then really n few times from below turn out fully so that you have the whole 200 hp again. Why that is probably the secret of honda……… Maybe n small example (though something doesn’t matter……) The new M5 has 500 hp, but only at the push of a button (otherwise only 400 hp) Maybe the same principle is behind it, only that at honda everything is automatically regulated (grinz!!!!)

  • alternative engine oil for XF (X260) 30d

    Hello together, since I, like some of you, am driving around a time bomb of engine in your beautiful vehicle, I did a bit of research. I came across the fact that the V6 diesel from Ford was actually intended for development for a different oil type than today. Lt. Jaguar is to use the engine oil 5-W30 ACEA C1. However, this has a clearly lowered viscosity. In my old Puma Diesel 2.0l (Ford Mondeo MK3) I am Castrol Magnatec 5-W30 A5 able This oil has an HTHS viscosity of 2.9-3.5 mPas. The C1 but only HTHS ~2.9 mPas. The C3 would have HTHS ~3.5 mPas. -> which would be significantly higher… I wonder if Castrol 5-W40 ACEA C3 or 5-W30 ACEA C3 for the Jaguar is the better oil in the long term than the recommended 5-W30 ACEA C1. What do you think? Maybe there is a specialist among you who knows well about engine oil? n / experiences I would be happy.
