  • GSX-R 1000 K9 – Steering damper defective?

    Evening dear bikers! I slowly despair of my machine. Steering head bearings were defective, so I had it changed. Chain set was worn out, so I changed it successfully. Brake was a bit tight in the front, but I got the wheel free again. Now I noticed something again and I suspect that it has to do with the steering damper. When the motorcycle is off and I steer while pushing, I notice that the handlebar can be steered slightly harder to the right, g Followed by a very easy squeaking. Steering to the left is no problem! If I steer the handlebar in the stand to the left and right, the resistance becomes bigger to the right, but can be overcome. If the engine is running, I have no problems with hitting the handlebar to the right?! To the left is never a problem. Whether motorcycle off or on. Yesterday I definitely didn’t have the problem at all. Today I was short at a workshop to clarify something. I also immediately spoke to what I noticed when steering since today. Instead of looking at it, he only thought I should remove the steering damper…is the problem away, it is the steering damper. Is the problem still there, it is the steering head bearing. I’m getting tired of all the things. Has anyone ever had the same problem? Do you think the steering damper is over? I’m just heading for the 40,000 km. I haven’t switched to the damper so far.

  • Suzuki GSX 550

    Hello together, I needed to buy a Suzuki GSX 550 EU, first it went on in between but now it doesn’t go on after I cleaned carburetor, have cleaned air filters, petrol filter is also clean, in the carburetor the petrol arrives but not in the combustion chamber, can someone tell me what I can do? Oh yes also the spark plugs work Spark is there. Does it possibly have to do with that not enough or no vacuum is available from the tank the carburetor? The petrol tap is also free. I’m new in the motorcycle area so I don’t know what else to do about it anymore.

  • GSX 750 F (AK) goes out of gas

    Hi, everybody, I’m in despair and I hope someone can help me here. I drive a 750 AK and have the problem that as soon as I give normal gas it goes out immediately. It goes up on about 2500 tours and that’s it. If I slowly curl it up with short gas bursts and catch the right time, then it goes over the “hole” and turns up fully. I drove it, even if it was difficult, and it brings above impeccable performance. I have mittlwerwei I already tried everything: – carburetor is absolutely clean, all nozzles are NEW – air filter new – candles new – petrol tap tested and works – new fuel It is still to say that it definitely does not drain, but starves in the area. The candles are dry. What I have still observed (and do not understand) is that it looks like it blows into the air filter chamber in the relevant speed range rather than sucking in. I am grateful for every tip. Greetings Josef

  • Repositories defective?

    I’ve been in the workshop with my Kamiq since recently the noise is very unpleasant when the reverse is applied. That’s not always the case, but more and more often. They’re 100% sure it’s the backlog. Can that be? I don’t have any problems with it, except with the reverse. Should it cost almost 900€ by the way, but will let my salesman do that, because I have a connection guarantee that will probably take over according to the list what’s being taken over.

  • Formula 1 for RTL

    Moin, I don’t know how you’re doing but I think the F1 transmission at RTL is a presumptuous, outspokenly said. very viiiiel advertising. and this heiko water as a commentator is also not as bulging as it sometimes drives the Christisn over the mouth! the moderation or comment of christian danner and niki lauda is still the best at transmission. the press conference is missing or is only shown in excerpts. the F1 transmission at premiere is longer better! jaques schulz and marc surer are very competent moderaters and the report refund, before and after the race is far better. I have watched the F1 6 years at premiere, but had to cancel premiere because of an imminent unemployment. what I regret very much.

  • Does Renault have the biggest budget?

    How much the teams spend on the F1 is one of the best kept secrets. But there are rumors over and over again. since XetrO has just posted numbers and led a lively discussion with another user (sorry should look) about it, I would like to open a thread where there is discussion about it. the budget of renault is apparently far away from the numbers that are published and comes rather to the regions of toyota and ferrari. from not comes also nothing, how 499.05 million US dollars should toyota spend this season on the F1, but quote: “This sum is far from reality”, denied John Howett. Ralf Schumacher is even the opinion quote: “McLaren has the largest team and also the largest budget”. ” Ferrari is also similar in size, and BMW is on the way there.” “The budgets of the top teams differ, if at all, only to a very small extent,” said Ralf. “This also applies to Flavio Briatore, who always shows how cheap he works. I don’t just think I know that we certainly don’t have the biggest budget at Toyota.” barbara

  • Unsports in the F1 (provocative)

    I wanted to open up such a thread on occasion. Then I’ll start right away! Can you remember earlier than MS Damon Hill, or just Villeneuve wanted to kick out of the race with full intention, he tried that again yesterday, but this time against all coming after him, especially Fernando Alonso by simply deliberately standing in the way of his car. The proof should be that he steered first to the right and then, like Niki Lauda, he was the same. Headed straight for no reason to pretend that the car was again to blame, even though it was only his fault as almost always. For such an unsportiness he belongs to the F1 – because that has nothing to do with sport anymore… We can only hope that he goes after the season Y.k.

  • Problem with reports,insurance,bank (allegedly total damage)

    Hello I don’t know how to proceed! My wife had a self-inflicted accident in snow with a guardrail! The accident on a totally snow-covered highway was not so much as a driveway and it was not very fast! It is a comprehensive insured person Astra G The expert now says that the repair costs are higher than the replacement value of the car! That’s why my car has a residual value of 1010€ of the purchase value is according to the expert. I’m saying that I’m getting the car floated again for much less money than the amount the evaluator has estimated at over €4,000! What can I do? I want to keep the car, among other things, because the car is not yet financed! 1000€ are still open! Therefore, a sale for me is not really possible! So what can I do? How must the financing bank (GMAC Bank) behave in such cases? Can the residual financing amount of 1000€ be used? Can I just suggest to the insurance company that the difference between the remaining value of the car is 1010€ and the purchase value is 360€ , i.e. 2590€ , to have it paid out. So that I can repair the car from this money! Because I looked around! The parts I need cost a total of about 500€ paint and I can build most of it myself! On the coach there is also nothing wrong! So I hope you can help me! I hope that I have explained this to some extent well! Summary! I don’t want to sell a car but I want to repair it! But evaluator says it’s total damage, but it’s out of my sight, because only the outer covering is affected! And all other things are still top not spoiled and so on! GMAC Bank there is a possibility to press the 1000€ still or what do they even have to do? What can I offer the insurance?

  • Price Installation at the Friendly “Infotainment 70 and hands-free”

    Hello Saab pilots, after which I decided to have my “old” hands-free device installed in the new Saab, I auditioned to the friendly Saab dealer. He said he could install a Bluetooth device for the price of 380,00€ (mark is not known to me now). I didn’t want to know either, because then I still have to load my phone at the cigarette lighter, which one does not have with a “classic” device. Then I asked him a cost before”ansc How can that be? Okay for the old I need the Saab holder, the cable and an antenna for the disc (because the shark is just a dummy). Am I right in assuming that I have to pick it up at exactly the same places on the wire harness as with the “old” so that everything runs on the radio? Then where does the so different price come from? With 150-200€ I would still be able to make a I also asked a telecommunications specialist dealer with an installation workshop who would like to have 140,00€ incl. antenna + holder for the installation. There I also had my old Saab equipped with the hands-free device, but at that time there was a preparation kit in the car. My question is whether a non-Saab specialist (but car communication specialist) can do this with a proper result? Does anyone have experience with it? Thank you very much.
