  • Dealer experiences in Bavaria Postcode 8.. + 9..

    Hello, the new season is on and I need a overhaul for engine, gears actually everything. I know 2-3 Harleyshops but they are not partly not quite kosher partly too expensive partly no Bock mentality. Unfortunately my old buddy or shop no longer exists and now I look for bikers who may know here – best practical experiences.The shops should be with me in Bavaria further away I also know 2-3 but these are just too far away if there are problems etc. Re great am already great again. Horny New Year, Old school forever

  • Little “tackering”

    I have a new helmet that will keep the noise very well, so you can better perceive the light-sounding engine sounds. When I give gas, you can hear a slight “tack”, when the clutch is pulled, or when it is idle, you can hear nothing. The noise is speed-dependent and can be heard in every gear. The noise is quiet and maybe normal!? If you turn the engine up in the stand, you can hear nothing, so it should probably come from the drive…Primary? What could that be?

  • Pressure point of the front brake away

    Hello guys, After I changed the front brake pads on my fatboy, with ABS, the pressure point is gone. The system was not open, so air in the system is missing as a cause. Had the same already before, then the mechanic in the workshop said that I had installed the pads and the clamps incorrectly. This time I paid careful attention and used them correctly. Does anyone have an idea?

  • Electric dead – smell of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfur?)

    This morning I wanted to start a nice tour, but 10 km behind the apartment door the box went out suddenly. Electric dead. Bike completely loaded, therefore the breakdown service carried home. In the garage suddenly this typical smell of rotten eggs is noticeable to me (sulphate hydrogen?) – voltage only 10.8V, the charger mots and says battery “sulphates”. The battery is not 2 weeks old – DELO HD GEL-BATTERIE YTX20HL-BS SAE 290A. Had that ever been someone from E uch? A brand-new battery gives up the mind? Or can it be something else? Just 3 weeks ago, I renewed the controller, battery, main fuse, flash relays and all the pears. See https://www.motor-talk.de/…/…ftail-battery-broken-t6836214.html

There are no scratches or accident damage. The engine “rass” when it is warm – is that normal ? “N” goes bad at ampelstops. Is this the bargain of the year?

  • Harley as a starter?

    Hello to each other, I made my driver’s license a few years ago, with the aim of driving Harley at some point. Then came the study, so I could never buy a Maschiae, so we could not really gain experience. Now the end of the study is approaching, and thus the first real financial means 🙂 Now to my questions, how useful is it to start with a Harley? So it would be more logical to start with something smaller, even if it should become a Harley later anyway? Is there perhaps a Harley for beginners? Thank you for tips already in advance. Thanks & Greeting Tomdus

  • Sportstar 883 Custom or Suzuki Bandit?

    Hi, I have to buy a motorcycle in the near future. Visually I tend very to the Sporty. Have also read a lot about it. However, many questions are still open and I hope that some of them could be answered here. 1. For beginners Sporty or Bandit? 2. Lifetime Sporty? 3. Reliability Sporty? 4. Size? Am 1.77 fit or? 5. Passing a Sporty? Don’t want to race, but acceleration would be important to me. 6. Since I’m 23, I would have to throttle them for 2 years, does that work and if so, how expensive is that? 7. Prejudice, for a Harley you either have to listen to a motorcycle walk or at least look like that! How far is that? Hope my questions are not too stupid. mfg memmo

  • Passing the traffic jam

    Hello together, is it normal for passers-by at the traffic jam (not on the stand strip) to be occupied with 100 Euro penalty duty? I drive for the first time in over 15 years again in Germany and am surprised. In Spain I never had any problems with it. And earlier, when I was travelling in Germany on two wheels, I was never stopped because of such ridiculous things. I have been riding motorbikes for 30 years now and am appalled. I am also riding moped so that I have to stop in traffic jams, not like the others. Since I am driving again in Germany (currently with a Spanish number plate), I did not know any alternative routes to dodge. Had actually been happy on motorcycle riding in Germany, but if the cops are always so surprised that there is still a motorcycle driving here. I have nothing against paying my penalties if I have built dung. But for driving on traffic jams? Is it ridiculous. For me it has become pure abzocke. Has this become the normal case in Germany, or have I just guessed to the wrong ones? Greeting, Lukasmobil

  • Evo motor in soft tail frame

    Hello intend a new construction with a soft tail frame and an Evo engine. Since the Evo engine does not meet today’s exhaust emission standards an old frame must be installed. Up to which year of construction of the frame can an Evo be registered or installed without problems (emission assessment)? So which standard does it correspond to: ECE-R40 Euro-1 Euro-2 Euro-3 Hope my research up to here were really nice greeting and many thanks in advance Jimbob
