Hello everybody, I have a problem again. I drove a lap yesterday and at the beginning everything was ok. I stopped at a Norma to get something to drink. When I wanted to start afterwards she went on first and then immediately out again. After that I did not get to her anymore. Then I called my girlfriend and she came with her car and a bridge cable. The cable made it, a time waited and then tried again. But without success. but it doesn’t start. Then I called the ADAC and it finally came after 1.5 hours. I then had myself brought with the moped into a hall from me. After the unloading I tried to start for fun and she was there immediately. Then I drove with her about 25 km without any problems home. This morning the same game. Again it does not start. Then I hung the battery to the charger and then it jumped again. Then I wait again half a day. I have 2 batteries here. Both were so cheap batteries for 65 €. I suppose they are both on the A…. And now my question. Can it be that the battery has enough juice to turn the starter but then has too little to get a decent ignition spark? I took out the spark plugs once. The spark is there but I mean, it’s just that I don’t have enough juice to turn the starter. It would be nice if I got any tips. Greetings Frank P.S. On the picture is the battery I installed.

Moin I’ve had my oven for a few years now and I want to knit something else out of it. I find the King Sportstertank on the Softail quite funky, rear remodeling also follows (flatfender and side cake sheet with saddle bag in front), 20 Z handlebars and somehow back-laid footrests. I got infected by the old school virus in Los Angeles in May. Is the tunnel at the Sportstertank as wide as the 2-piece softail tank? probably not. The flatfender is supposed to be resonating, sociable for occasional coffee trips. Are there any ones that have built such a thing? for the purpose of entry etc… I have seen this more often, only what do I have to pay attention to?

Hello together, as seen in the photo, found a piece of metal in the rear wheel at my Harley today. My question would be: would you fix the tire or change it? Thank you very much.

On 31.12.2024 the “already time” for general tire manufacturer approvals ends. I have driven the last years Continental ContiLegend white wall tires, which unfortunately are not registered in my papers.In my 28 year old papers – two different tire types are registered with me: – Dunlop D402 F Touring Elite II – Metzeler ME 88 Marathon Ok, the Dunlop flaps still exist in exactly this name. h replaces the Metzeler ME 888 Marathon. Do I simply smell this successor tire, or do I have to register it? Speaking of registration. How does this work? Do I just drive to the TÜV with freshly assembled tyres from other manufacturers and they enter this in my papers and give me permission to do so? If so, what does the fun cost about? Fun on the edge: Who knows the company Bunlop? [see picture] 🙂 Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Hello friends, after changing the brake pads, front, the brake swings up to a high frequency when braking. It sounds like an organ pipe – also so loud. the whole stem hums. Before the change everything was OK. Did one of you ever have this and know remedy? The facts: – Deuce 2006 – Brembo with the bean-shaped sheet metal logo – Einscheiben – 4-piston with DOT5 – SBS pads – Brake disc is 1 year old and runs round – Antiquiet paste (blue) on backs, pens and By the way: Is the rule true… ?: – Plate with angular cam > to the outside – rounded sides of the pads in the outlet direction of the brake disc – see attached drawing If so – the pads do not go into the brake shoe. The cams hit the rear edges of the housing and the pads can not be pressed in so far that the holes for the pin screws come on top of each other. I am perplexed.

Moin, awesome Saturday, the trip with you from Bremen to Hamburg via Landstraße was great. Unfortunately, I lost the connection shortly before the Elbe tunnel. On my homepage I posted pictures from yesterday. I found the best thing to do on the Reeperbahn.www.vegas96.de Greeting Stefan

Hello, so now I will be 47 and want to get a Harley. After almost 29 years of motorcycle I decided to drive away from the mass goods BMW Yamaha and so on something different. A road king should be it. New it doesn’t have to be because so many kilometers do not come together with me every year. Now I have a few questions. – max. km of a used one, or better from when can expensive repairs come. – Year of construction ? earlier one told me to drive 1 hour 2 hours screwing at The more recent one is not like that. – a reasonable screwdriver in the district Heilbronn /Schwaebisch Hall . Because I have no desire either to go to Stuttgart or Ansbach. – what should I pay attention to if I then strike. So now there is still a small problem that you can’t help me with! I have to get rid of my Yamaha FJR 1300 at a reasonable price.

And again the rumors go off. The tourers come up again with the topic “water-cooled engines”. Sure, at some point they will come, they will have to come, but when? Tourer with V-Rod engine???? What do you mean? Is the new frame and all the other changes in the tourers 2009, pre-sign for a 2010 engine “watercooled” ???

Hi, I wanted to introduce my girl motrad. Comments on the roll bar you can save yourselves right away. Who saw me driving on the Sella Nevea, knows why he is on it (and still a little bit remains. The painting is an airbrush in Ed Hardy style with Swarovski stones. Who cares about custom paint should look here:www.c-k-design.de Otherwise she now has a Miller – system ( so that you can hear me, or I hear my motorcycle when I am between SB and vZ), a fork bridge from SJP with 6° rake, and a few more little things. My “small conversion”, has been made by:www.crc-kassel.de Actually build the right motrwheels, but have made an exception with me. Come on guys, then hack on me….

one is a shit. for a few days now my thick one spins. it jumps great at and in the stand gas also super run. however when accelerating (always at a certain speed) spits, jumps and cuddles, plows out of the carburettor. when I give really gas and the speed range is overcome, it goes as always. takes normal gas to us runs to the normal peak speed. the error always occurs in the lower speed range. I have already excluded: ignition coil, Ignition cables and candles. there is no leak or water in the carburetor and it does so with or without air filter. a adjustment of the ignition (to the right or left to the starting position) has also not brought any change. my presumption is either a problem with the accelerator pump or partial load nozzle, or the underpressure valve or even the ignition controller. what do the experienced think about it? bb-blue
