  • Zr7 Valves clapping

    Servus people, I drive a Zr7 Bj 1999, in possession since September 2010. – 2011 the valve was set at 36.000km. Everything is fine – in mid 2012 I had the valve set at about 49,000km, in the workshop these “spacers” (or plates) were replaced/changed… however. Anyway, I have the feeling that the valves are very clattering, especially on the left. I imagine that it was not like that before (or quite before when buying). You can hear correctly, I don’t miss oil, but it’s old. Must be changed. Whether it’s because of it? The workshop type said it’s normal, because the valves now have a “game”. But the clacking is quite strong… Is that more normal or should I worry about it? greetings and a nice start to the season I wish all PS: I bought the machine with 24,000km, now there are 51,000km druff

  • How I got to the mopped

    20 years ago, I was 16 at the time and lived in Berlin, I made, like all the others, the 1b bill (no more buck on bus+train). After two years,summer like winter,with my Yamaha DT (some slips on ice,and once missing from a backwards pass, incl.) behind me, I was glad to finally be on 4 wheels. Latter 16 years later(I had moved to Nordfriesland/Danish border, two children) I telephoned with my Father, who was still living in Berlin. He: “Hab een Motorrad jekooft,ne Honda Shadow” I:”Are you totally crazy?You are 65,there you ride a bike!He:”I’m 45 years ago already jekooft” I couldn’t get him off and when he always told me how much fun he and my mother had with the Honda,I was jealous.Motorcycle riding is awesome.Last year my parents had to close their business and wanted to move in Oct.. Ok,I thought,then also made a big appearance and about Next year I went with the old man a little bit. Said, parents bought a house 3 min. of me and 6 weeks before their move, father brought up the Honda already. Now I made some tours with the Shadow and was infected. I was just looking at which could be the right boob lead me (also here in MT, used the Sufu), my father called. He:”Have a new machine jekooft” I:”Hää?Why?” He:”Ne Thriumph Rocket Touring.” I:”What is that?” He:”Kiek ma in your intern etzdingda” After I Googled Rocket III I called him. I:”Are you crazy?!!!” He:”Ne,there moms can sit much better.” In Oct. then, my parents moved to us,I sold the Honda and added a Cbf 1000 to me in January. In April the old man and I wanted to make a tour to Berlin and the Rocket(now all his pride) show the spinner bridge. Last Monday at 0.35 clock, my father’s heart stopped completely unexpectedly. He became 67 years old. I am Not a good writer, but I had the feeling that I had to write these lines and through the many posts I have read here in the forum, I think that you might understand me. I am very grateful for the last 4 months that I was allowed to spend with him so intensely and think these lines are in good hands here. Thank you for your understanding and continue all the good Kai

  • Problems with wva8 at operating temperature

    Hello municipality I’ve been at the forsaken for a few days. I’ve been combing the forum for nights but didn’t come across anything that could help me further. To the machine I drive a Suzuki bandit 600 of type Wva8 bj. 2002 from 57 kW to 35kw via suction blinds throttled. She ran almost 9000 km About two weeks ago the forgotten was thoroughly cleaned and renewed. Valve play is set, petrol tap has been equipped with reperatur set. Now I drive about 5-10 km with full power And it’s all good. Then it starts to run only on two or three cylinders (sounds very funny ) no more eats and goes out. Starting directly is then difficult. However, after 10 minutes waiting time it runs again as if nothing had been done. But only the next 5 km until the same game starts from the front. If this occurs I opened the tank cover and hoped for a hissing. Also unsuccessful tank ventilation is free. My guess is that if one of the two ignition coils is n has reached its operating temperature makes it maybe mukken? Bzw has exposed more due to a possibly damaged primary or secondary winding ? My question is how can I best check that, susi drive on temperature tank unscrew and measure the windings ? Until then they have cooled down too ? Did anyone have similar problems ? I’m stunned and grateful for every tip LG Marlon

  • GSX R600 K7 Tank indicator problem !

    Hey guys, I’m new here so first of all Hello (: Drive my GSX R600 K7 since this week, which I used to buy with 8000km. Now yesterday when driving the tank indicator had started to flash, which according to the operating book only happens under 3.5L. Then I drove immediately refuelling, but it only fit 7.5L, until the tap automatically stopped filling with, and gasoline was already to be seen above. Because that seemed funny to me then I hired the day KM counter. and after 115km normal driving mode ( am still beginners in the range athletes ) the tank indicator started again. How can that be? Because the first time refueling only 8L fit in and with my 16.5L tank content then would have been still over 8L and thus the display should not have flashed. Also that it flashed after 115km again surprised me, since many others write that they come easily 200km and more. Today will also drive and look at the dealer What do you think that could be? Thank you so much (:

  • Brake pads down / renew ?

    Good morning to everyone, for 2 days I noticed at my Suzuki GSF 650 SA Bandit that the brakes (can’t say exactly whether only VA or HA or both) squeak with a light brake, e.g. when you are rolling at a traffic light and slow braking down. I brake a little stronger then I have no noises. I took a few photos. These show: The mopped recently got fresh TÜV in a motorcycle factory and the master just told me “The brake pads I didn’t get much of a photo but they already have a bit more than the ones on the HA. Do the brake discs look good yet? Could not discover anything negative now. Thank you very much for your help! VG Mars

What surprised me: Price is about the same as with the conventional battery. 1.00 x Battery SHIN YO GEL-12-BS (CTX 12-BS) ID: 8712212 EUR 48,24 ————————————————- ————— Shipping costs: 0,00 EUR ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

  • Kawasaki KLX 250 S Built 2015 at AU rattled/What to do?

    Moin, the Kawa from my girlfriend is unfortunately God’s raced through the AU and we don’t really know any more at the moment. The CO value in the increased stand gas was too high. The motorcycle has an injection and therefore offers rather little adjustment possibilities. We already got a new old Lambda probe, put a new air filter on it and check again everything that can be tested as a private person. The motorcycle currently has the original exhaust on it, but when buying was an MSR Auspu ff grown without a cat. Supposedly the car was somehow HU/AU, even if we had neither an ABE, nor anything else when buying it. And according to the Internet, Mopeds needed a cat for a long time…. and you can’t just build an exhaust without a cat on it and still have the appropriate AU values, right? Now I wanted to ask what you could look/do? A completely new exhaust would probably be a useful extension, just Wouldn’t be worth it anymore with the car… and the cat can’t be through after just 9 years and just 25,000km, right? Besides, we don’t know how long the OG exhaust was in the corner. Maybe someone can help me! Thanks already!

  • Z1000 year 2005 expires with a longer journey

    Hello this summer my Z1000 went out about 6 times during the ride, always in rolling mode, you want to give gas you notice that the machine is off. Ignition is still on. Turn off ignition and turn on again, then wait briefly and start again. No matter whether in the stand or while rolling. During the ride “roll on” does not go, the ride continues only after restart. After that it drives as if nothing had been done. With long rides the intervals become shorter. If it is cooler can I don’t have a kink in the hose and I don’t have a coded plug either. Tap on the control unit, I’m looking for a company that can repair testing and possibly if something is broken.
