  • Virago 535 (1991) does not start after Kill off

    Now I save myself every long explanation. I was in the garage on the motorcycle yesterday and I looked if everything is OK. It should be nice for the weekend Well I left the Virago on and look there, no problem (how also, hangs on the battery guard, so with screwed-down bench etc). So far so good. Unfortunately I am then, ask me not like I have no idea, come to the emergency switch. Works wonderful. Immediately everything was dead! So keys were pulled off, switches again on ru n set up and trying to start in idle mode. But she doesn’t want to jump in, doesn’t even try. However, light braking system, control lights etc. that’s all. Just start it doesn’t. I also folded the side stand, 1st gear in and then tried to start. Also there’s no reaction. What am I doing wrong???? Do I have to keep in mind something else? Is there a device that might have to be unlocked after you have activated the emergency switch? At this point in time, the starter doesn’t turn at all. Therefore—> he still doesn’t get any electricity 🙂 (question is why. Because the other amatures are going yes. Can anyone help me? I’m at a loss….

  • Which SR500?

    Good day, at the moment I’m thinking about buying an SR500. Now I had one of the very early specimens when it came to the market. Small headlights, bench with plastic brush. I sold them again after a year because the urge for larger machines was overpowering, but the SR never let me go and over the decades I still had some SR and XT500, which sold over and over again. But for a few years I’ve become quieter. One of these origins that I drive, however, has only 50 cubic meters and is an open mini-wheel. It runs fine, but I’ve grown out of it, too old, too big and too heavy, after two or three hours on the machine I’m done, have knees and back. That’s why I’m browsing through the classifieds and looking for XT and SR. Since I just want to spend that the mini-wheel brings in, fall down. n the XT away and only the SR are still on my mental note. Which I should now consider closer, from the feeling I tend to the original version, but reason says that a later model would be the better choice but I don’t like the smaller front wheel with the drum brake. I also screwed on SR and XT and was able to do all maintenance work and most repairs as they occur. Best regards Willy

  • Michelin Pilot Power 3

    Hello together! Has anyone had any experience with the new Michelin Pilot Power 3? I definitely did! I’d like to receive my email to Michelin. I’d like to see your experience, but I’d like to hear the feedback from Michelin. Here are the excerpts: …I liked to enjoy the trust of my Michelin Pilot Power rear tyre on my YZF R1 (RN19) for years. But in the course of time, traditions should also make room for new things. I can tell you in advance that after the frightening experience my brain carousel only calmed down at short notice! I will not forget this driving experience so quickly. She burned herself in some corner of my brain. In short, I don’t trust myself again with this tire even some funky curve. In the future (until this tire finally went down) I will probably move like a swabby railway with my finger in the butt. After countless slides in impossible, simple situations followed as I-point in the test then still a survived „Highsider”. My experience was confirmed by an unknown Kawasaki ZX-10 driver immediately on test drive. This had the same new MPP3 on it and a week before was confronted with the same loss of confidence which n. The subsequent requests in my motorcycle circles also confirmed my experience…

  • Too much oil from workshop

    Hello I have to ask something. Today I brought my XT660R from the workshop from the 60000 km service (well this wanted to do from the specialized workshop) so I drove today max 100 km (more about the 80 km) over floor and stone….would not have noticed with the motorcycle what would not be right!!! At home I measured oil level (as it was heard with the memory minute in idle) And then the scare oil at the measuring rod on max!!!!! Named the workshop (Yamaha!!!) too much oil put in… no matter before I fight with the workshop I left off about 0.4 l myself. Now my fear (as I love my machine) can my motorcycle have damaged thereby???

  • Other spark plug type permitted?

    Hello everybody! have a question about the spark plug. And I found a few original packed Bosch candles with 3 mass electrodes in the shed the other day. The thread is long and would therefore fit. Now my question: Can I drive this without hesitation with the DT? Or would the spark then possibly be too strong and there is a damage to the engine? Or otherwise the voltage may not be enough for a clever spark, since it is eig is a “car” candle?? Mfg

  • Exchange frames without frame number

    Moin, I bought a R6 several years ago without the intention to take it to the road. So I didn’t pay any attention to whether the frame number fits the papers and I didn’t have a purchase contract (no idea if I had one at all). I got a vehicle letter (certificate of approval part 2) for a RJ05. The frame installed however is an exchange frame without a frame number. Visually it could be an RJ05 frame. It looks like I don’t think that the frame is stolen. But now I would like to put the moped on the street. My first idea was simply to buy a different frame and to convert everything. But that’s not very cheap. The next thought was to have the frame number punched out of the papers. Is this possible without the old frame (the one from the papers) at all? your proof that it is not stolen? For this I would have to have the KBA confirm that the frame number is clean in the letter, right? And the third option would be to buy a broken frame and punch its number in. But also there might be the problem to prove that my frame is not stolen. Should it turn out at the police that the frame number in the letter has been stolen what happens then? There is a blank frame and an exchange engine in it that my bi No one can prove the stolen vehicle now, can’t they? If the papers ever belonged to my vehicle. What strategy would you recommend me? I have a lot of time but little money.

  • Dt 50 M no spark

    Hello Have here a Dt 50 M, type 2M4 Built. 1980 stand. Mopped was last approved in 1985. Has run according to the owner and was only switched off, because the headlight was broken in a fall. Mechanics is meanwhile repaired so far. But unfortunately the machine has no sparks. Ignition lock is new. Anchors of the ignition, capacitor and ignition coil are also new. Candle plugs also. When I operate the kick starter is alternating current at the connection of the ignition coil measurable. but no ignition spark. Spark plug has been tested on another moped and is ok. Kill switch and ignition lock I measured and fit so far. Front headlight is not mounted at the moment. but according to the schematic where I have this is not relevant, since the ignition circuit and the light circuit are two separate. Safety circuit is also not available. Does anyone have a tip where I can still start?

  • XJ 600 starter problem

    Hello My Diva doesn’t work by e-start anymore. Only gives a *crack* sound. With push it goes quite fast. Have little idea about it and have previously Googled a lot and sometimes knocked with the hammer slightly on the starter and then tried to start. It makes any noises. But does not sound healthy(somehow wet?). I uploaded a video. Battery is fully charged.

  • Tyres for XJ 900 Diversion Bj 2000

    Does anyone have any experience with the Z8 from Metzeler? find no release for it, also not on the side of Metzeler. Does the tires do what? other recommendations were the Michelin Pilot Road 2 or the BT 023 and Angel ST.. but also with the latter I find no release. Who can recommend us a tire? We are usually traveling on rural roads, if it has to be in the rain.. look for a tire with a long service life, which runs even after 5000 km still stable, good Kurfe n properties also has wetness… Thank you!
