  • First modifications to the RK!?

    Hello girls and boys, since I am absolutely jealous of the noise heritage of my colleague, I would like to have the sound improved on my RK 2008. Since I myself have 2 left hands I asked my friendly one and he suggests: Screamin Eagle Air Cleaner Kit SE Pro Super Tuner Kit M Kit, Muffler, FLH ’07 as an alternative he suggested only to replace the rear silencer. Here come my questions: If I have understood everything I have read here correctly, then Is the replacement of the end-shell damper not the solution alone, because for this the engine has to be adjusted!? The Tuner Kit seems to be a “programming device” for the ELektronik. But I have read somewhere that this always works only with a motorcycle. Can anyone explain that to me? Thanks to all the greetings from the sun Frank

  • Refresh brake caliper discharge valve thread

    Tach people, need urgent advice. How do I cut the thread most accurately for the unloader screw in the brake caliper, so that the valve closes later too. The old thread is only damaged in the upper third and is unfortunately only screwed up to the first third. It looks as if the guide does not fit 100%. The saddle is chrome-plated and expanded. Thank you for any helpful answer! Gruss, Bangkok

  • Car sales — unsavory callers?

    Hello dear MT community, I have posted my current car (Opel Astra-H Enjoy, 1.6 TP) at the usual car exchanges. Now on the first day several calls with offers came. These callers had a more or less strong accent. Also immediately came the price negotiation on the phone. A special caller from Poland made me without big negotiation a good price and he would pick up the vehicle Do. and Mi. should log off the car. Payment should be “cash” and i n €. Well, the whole thing is too fast for me and doesn’t seem serious. He’ll call again tomorrow if I’ve logged out the car. He said he needs to know that so that he can arrange the pick-up (it’s probably just Do. with other vehicles). He also said that I can bring the money to a bank and have it checked. Other special remark from him: “Can we write another (less) amount on the purchase contract?”, however, after my hesitation also directed s I’ll tell him tomorrow, however, that I didn’t log off the car and will still wait. He hasn’t got my address yet. I’m just afraid that there will be more such offers. Greetings, Sebastian

  • Suzuki GN 125 Oil Change and Idling Pen

    Hello everybody, I would like to make an oil change soon on a GN 125 and have now informed me a little bit about it. My question is if a forum member can upload photos here. So where are the appropriate screws for example. I don’t have the machine right now, so I can’t look, but I want to be prepared when I get to it on Saturday. A little something to the background: I don’t have the machine for long. It drives but great and runs from the 110 things. The speedometer shows 32tkm. The only drawback: the idle is almost not to get in. Now I tried to read a little cleverly: It must probably 10W40 mineral oil for gearbox and motor (only one oil circuit for both?!) in and you have the possibility to open 2 screws, whereby one probably falls against one with an idle pin with a spring. The spirits in the net argue whether both screws are necessary at all (if yes, with which Some say that air can draw after it and that the lowest point is certainly emptied. I can’t understand it without photos and without a motorcycle of course. Since the idle is really impossible and I fear a mistake by the previous owner during the last oil change, I would like to check the correct seat and installation of the pin or bolt and spring myself, if the parts are still there and not with the last oil change has been lost. I would then, according to the attached sketch (part 22) lead the mushroom-shaped pen with the round cone first into the opening and put the spring (part 19) on the flat plate, turn the screw (part 25) in the end. Should then be correct, right? I found the photo of the parts on the internet, but on it the pin / bolt seems to lie wrong around to the pen. If someone knows about it and/or uploads photos thanks already for the support! 😉 I’m more of a beginner with something like that and I haven’t done an oil change on my Corsa B, so I didn’t do it on the 125. A nice week, Dominic PS. I drove a few kilometers on my motorcycle yesterday. It’s fun for such a small machine.

  • Oil Temperatures and Speeds

    Moin Are there such benchmarks at which temperatures you should drive which speeds? Example: I wanted to overtake a truck today. The oil had on the temperature indicator at the filler just under 60°. But I had to turn a little higher in order to pass quickly. So I turned up to almost 9000U/min. Someone once told me that you should pay attention to the temperature. Do you have such benchmarks?

  • Set twisted fork

    Hello, I bought a used bandit 600 where I have to steer a little to the right when driving straight. It falls easily into a left curve and hard into a right curve. At slanting position it is nervous. I used the light slot sample with a ruler on the stand pipes in the built-in condition and the stand pipes do not seem to be bent. I want to loosen the screws of the fork bridges now and reposition the front wheel. Can the motorcycle pull down the fork when I release the screws ? Where is it measured whether the track of the front wheel is correct ? Thank you
