  • Interested in screwdriver courses in Upper Bavaria?

    Hello to the round. Does someone happen to know if there are “screw courses” here in Upper Bavaria, where you can learn how to perform standard service work on two-wheelers yourself? I’m less concerned with completely disassembly of a motorcycle or scooter. Rather, I would like to learn the basics: – Gear/motor oil change – Change of brake pads – Change of belt, maintenance of variomatics and repair of converters/couplings on scooters – Extension of wheels for tyre change – Change the fork oil/seals – Check the steering head bearing and change – Basics of the suspension settings (springs/dampers) – possibly adjustment of the valve play – carburettor cleaning and adjustment with 2strokers – tyre change – spoke rims waiting – tips and tricks…. I have had the experience that many workshops have no interest in service if the vehicles were not bought there, or it is older vehicles (Zündapp, Kreidler, Hercules, Simson). I mean especially two-wheelers from China, Korea, Taiwan. Although the construction of the vehicles is often done with the same parts, especially with scooters (engines, spare parts etc.), many workshops prefer to offer their service for Japanese, French, German or Italian brands. The spare parts are available online for small money – therefore I would like to do some things myself in the future, and to do without the tough search for willing workshops. I would like to do something If a professional finds himself (perhaps retired), who passes on his knowledge. Screwing in community on weekends is certainly fun. You never learn. What do you think about it?

  • Legal LED bulbs now also for first motorcycles – Philips Ultinin Pro6000 – Osram Nightbreak

    Since March 2023 Philips has been offering the Ultinon Pro6000 (currently only as H4) the probably first LED bulbs with e-approval also for a number of motorcycle models. Unfortunately, the model selection is not yet particularly large – but that will hopefully change. Unfortunately, my V-current is not yet listed. But maybe one or the other of you already finds something for his moped The current compatibility list can be found HERE. r Price should be at ~75€ for an LED H4 bulb So the motorcycle forum can now discuss clearly about the exchange on approved LED lamps in conjunction with the motorcycle models released for this purpose.Regards NoGolf MT-Team 的 ModerationSupplement: from page 5 in the thread also LED-H4 from Osram were added in the follow-up.

  • Your maximum mileage when buying a motorcycle? (750-1000er)

    Hi, so far I have only been looking strictly for motorcycles with a maximum of 30,000km, but if I look at my own ZR-7 with 33,000km, I actually know that it ultimately only depends on the maintenance.. of course with higher mileage also the chance that the mopped would be broken. The question is kept very general, but what would be your maximum usable mileage personally when buying a used 1000er? From when do you have to with larger defects despite good Pfle mfG, Tim edit: a few examples of what I see in offers: Which of these motorcycles would you say no to from the front due to mileage?

  • Motorbike rental – rent, rent?

    Hello everybody, I’m new here, so please don’t leave my head right away, if it wasn’t created in the right section. I find relatively little on the net about motorcycle rental. With the car it’s completely commonplace. You already get a small car for 50 euro. For motorcycles it looks a bit lean. Do you know pages that offer such things? And how do you basically see the topic – to lend motorcycle? Would you like your beloved mopped, (provided it is insured for example, I’m driving a 20-year-old diversion and I wouldn’t hurt personally if I could make sure that the one doesn’t run away with it and sells it for n 10s at the next street corner I’d be interested in the opinion of the general public Andre

  • Get rid of diesel, get rid of gasoline.

    Hi guys, unfortunately I am currently forced to commute with the train because of a job change. So I have to commute from home to the station and back, that’s it. We’re talking about about 5km and 5-10min. driving time, depending on the traffic light. It’s worth it my passat (1.6TDI, 2010, 175tkm) which I got at the beginning of the year unfortunately absolutely not, I only break it with the track unfortunately. So I have to sell the good piece well or badly and will get from the proceeds a I calculate from the sale of the passat with min. 800€, is a trendline but checkbook maintained and has the big Navi (RNS510). After that I thought: 1. klapperkiste with half year buy TÜV, because I plan to move in mid 2016 and I then take the car with my friend parts (old C-Corsa) 2. reasonable car what is then taken, for that the C-Corsa is sold. My driving profile is unfortunately at the moment a disaster, as described above, however come between I would like to take a few trips, or longer distances in between, which have always been fun with the passat. That’s why I drove the car in the last months also 13tkm. That will probably take a little bit off with the petrol. Otherwise, if it should become a more reasonable I would have the following requirements: 1. cruise control 2. min 100hp, like more that actually already.. should only run reliably! If it becomes a folding box, it would be enough for me half a year will survive, after that the thing will be repelled again. I would look forward to experiences and tips if someone has sales experience with the Passat likes to come up with the info

  • Family cruiser with four wheel for ~30,000€?

    Hi! It’s time for a new (used?) car! I’ve been driving almost only VW so far and therefore have little experience with other brands/needed cars, so I ask for your support 🙂 Our requirement profile (2 adults + 2 kids) looks like this: – ~10000km of driving performance per year – Most city trips, but also regular holidays and tours into the mountains. Had problems with snow with front drive now several times, all-wheel drive would therefore be desirable. – Space for 5 people (al) so min. 5 full seats) – Spacious trunk – as comfortable as possible Is more important than the engine power. Budget is 20-35T €, with room for manoeuvre. There are no brand preferences. I fluctuate between used cars (an SUV with many KM?) or e.g. a relatively new Sharan/alternatives in the category…. Thank you for your help!

  • Find a reliable and affordable used car (comb) Budget: 2500 – 3000€

    Hello dear forum community, as the title already reveals, I am looking for a reliable and in maintenance cheap used car. It should be a middle class combi with green badge, as I need the large storage space, 3-4x a year occupationally conditional. Not so often, perhaps 3-4x a week, but then only within the city, for shopping etc.. Every 2nd week then however a fixed larger highway line of 400km (200km back and forth and 200km back). Currently I pay quarterly for my current car (Polo Variant 6N2), with 39% in insurance, a total of 107,45€ (liability: 90,86€ / partial cash with 150€ deductible: 16,59€) / tax: 94€ per year. The next car is allowed to cost just as much in the maintenance, cheaper would be of course nice, but may also cost a little more. Preferably petroler. Preferably switch. I’m quite satisfied with the data, my current polo, so everything would be OK in this context. With cars, I don’t know myself so well now. s, that’s why I’m looking for help here. But I’ve already done a rough research and found the following cars: That would be all the information and questions I have. I’d be very happy if you could help me with the purchase of a new used car. I’ll say thank you in advance and wish you a nice Sunday! Wil

  • Restart operating system

    Hello, I have the following problem. The MINI APP no longer works, so the message “No online connection” always comes. All data has been frozen since 23.10.. I had first thought that there is a server problem at MINI/BMW and wrote to the service team. I always use the app as route planning and then send the destinations to the Countryman. I used the function daily because it is my company car if someone asks why the app is so important to me. And I extended the service 8 weeks ago for a year. I was told that I should reset the operating system from Countryman, after that everything would work again. I understand that my MINI no longer has any contact with the server. I was told to do this: 1. Drive a car for at least 10 minutes 2. Park the car but don’t turn off the engine 3. Hold down the volume control for about 30 seconds 4. If the screen black, release the button, everything will run within 1 minutes r up and thus the problem should be fixed. I tried it. I tried it after 15 minutes drive or even after a 4 hours highway ride. Unfortunately my operating system does not drive down. The screen always stays on. I had then turned again to the service team. No more feedback, still rests the lake. Can someone help me? To the un/friendly I have no desire, only if everything does not help anymore. Thanks in advance!!! VG Patrick

  • Mini Cooper 2016 – Oil in water

    Hello, my name is Sabine and I’ve had my dream car for 3 months – Mini Cooper with 190 hp, 105,000 km in white with some useful extras. Now I have a massive problem: “Oil pressure too low” at high speed (>140 kmh), the local screwdriver thinks that this would be the oil pump and would like to replace it for EUR 1,000. In addition from the beginning high oil consumption. No white exhaust smoke and no water in the oil. nd feels oily. Does it sound like cylinder head gasket, am I right? What does the exchange cost (in a free workshop) and are there any problems / special tools? Your opinion would be very helpful, thank you! Gruss Sabine
