Hello dear Kawa friends, have the problem on my 6er, which after a few days the battery is empty. Unfortunately came with the start aid with the plus pole to the frame what it has sparked something. It was clearly found in the workshop that the ECU pulls out about 0.2A when the ignition is off.The ECU is otherwise absolutely ok! The (renomated Kawa dealer) said the best would be a switch or a relay before the ECU fuse. I then wanted to do that myself. I have the problem that I do not know what kind of relay I take best and how reliable such a relay is. After all, the power supply of the ECU depends on it. In the workshop manual I have seen that there is an ECU relay already from factory, for what is it good, because the ECU obviously also has a connection to the battery without ignition. My questions would therefore be: 1. How reliable is a relay and would a switch be better after all? Do I have to with failures in the case of ground waves 2. What kind of relay is best suited (brand, model)? Would take the switching current off of the license plate. 3. For what is the standard ECU relay? Thank you!

Hello, yesterday the starter button of my kawa Z 550b bj.82 either fell out or someone played it around, anyway the starter button was gone. because I had to drive into the work I helped myself with a nail, which also worked well..so far so good..when I wanted to drive from the late shift to home the engine didn’t jump on, the ignition worked but still..but where I pushed the nail in it sparked tremendously..but it lit – just didn’t jump on. no longer a spark no longer a causer noise..nothing.. the ignition goes but, neutral lights bright the battery is brand new.have security checks everything ok at least the things in the security box. then I tried to push them – nothing!that meant 7km to walk home.-.now my question because the bike there urgently has to be gone it still stands at mr in the shop.why does not jump on when I push them, what can be broken there ..cause?then she would have to go to d nor usually when pushing start anyway? every help is welcome have it really hurry since the bike has to go away..thank you in advance..

Hello. Today I have changed oil changes and oil filters according to the rules of every year. Last year in the summer 1500km large service was made by 700€. Valves set etc. That whole program stop! After the oil change I dared not my eyes as she smoked and ran! Now the question to you what can be that problem and how can I solve it? I am already grateful for the honest and helpful tips!

So friends Now I also have to ask some questions and hope for uncomplicated answers Problem: Have changed the days one of my little ones the fork oil. How that can become so black is a rattle to me. But what’s new in it with real amount – Fits! Now I had to realize that I can turn on the right adjusting screw of the Anti Dive where I want to be without a rest point being feelable. So the screw turns in all directions doof. The left adjusting screw can ic h, how it should be, set in three directions. What is now in the bucket and how can I fix that? Greeting Andy

Moin moin.. I’ve been driving the ZR-7 (BJ 2003) recently. Great part.. only the front headlight appears arg funzelig, and the rear light is also not the brightest. For the rear light there are simple solutions (e.g. this here), only for the main headlight I find nothing.. Of course there are various “Fighter” double headlights with E-number, but first I like the large round headlight from the optics, and second, these double headlights seem to contain all only light fruit… Gib t it for the original headlight (LED?) bulbs, which bring more light, and are allowed? If yes – where can I get such a thing? Do I have to register/test this? Thank you in advance and many greetings from the sand man

hi motor-talk-community, I need help in terms of liability damage, whereby I am the damaged. short account: my bike, is covered in my private parking space in front of the house. foreign scooter driver parks behind my bike and avoids it. harm according to opinions 1770€ / net, material and working hours. at the dealer/workshop, I have signed a cession declaration. an engineering office has prepared the report and the insurance of the store digers sent… … I stayed with the dealer now so that he takes my broken, unrepaired bike into payment, I make a payment and acquire a new one from him. do I have to cancel the cession declaration now??? my thoughts go to the fact that, legally speaking, the dealer/the workshop can now settle with the insurance, since the cession declaration is still in force. not that I trust this behaviour to the dealer, but purely legally g should I cancel that now in after??? thank you for the answers… gruss waxe

Hello, when opening the oil drain screw (because of oil changes) metal chips came to me….a more precise bilck showed me that the threaded socket was torn. Before that the thing was tight… Can someone give me hope? Can one somehow do that again “whole”? Since there is almost no pressure on the screw: -Thread Rep. Sets Helicoil, Recoil,Time-Sert threaded sockets, etc… -Dichtkitt etc. -Liquid metal sleeve Thanks, Silverfern ^^ Ferries an 81er Kawa 440 LTD (A)….

Hello together, I wanted to hear your opinion on the topic. I had the valves set last week at my Er6n at 32000 km although Kawa says that it is only necessary at 42000. So according to my screwdriver it was urgently necessary. He also said that he was surprised that according to the maintenance wall it is not necessary until after 42tkm. Have you already had experience?

Hello friends, I would like to know if the mounting of an SB handlebar to a GPZ600R inevitably involves a change in the front panel and what the brake line looks like? If I should convert to steel flex, the supply line from the pump to the distributor is always long enough, or must an extra longer line be ordered. Can I order the feed line separately?
