Hello, we have here an MT-01 with just under 11 tkm on the clock, at which chips are now in the oil. It all started like this: After a small AU drive (about 50 km) we checked the oil level again. Much we noticed that the oil tank was completely full, and if you unscrew the track rod with the running engine, spray the oil against you. If the engine is standing, the oil was then just below the GFwinde of the track rod. Our first thought was: Sure, too much oil has been filled, so sometimes a The amount of oil went well, but there were chips in the oil in the size of sand grains. Do you have any idea what could have happened there? So the cart would have to have 2 oil pumps. Can it be that only the return pump works and the normal one no more? Warning lamps didn’t work during the ride either. We really don’t know any further

Hello dear forum, I’ve been thinking about buying a motorcycle for some time, but I don’t have that much money. Now there’s an FZR 600 Bj 94 with 51,000 Km on the clock in the vicinity. It’s asking for 400€. The machine has probably been logged out for 5 years and has been standing in a garage for 3 years. I’m not so savvy about the whole thing (that’s why I’m here) and wanted to ask if you should enter the offer. I wanted to get the machine to a Who next week. But things like TÜV, battery, tires, carburetor, gasoline, etc. are probably already on the move. Is that still worth a look or should you leave your hands off with something like that? If the result comes from the workshop next week, I would of course write it in here.

Dear Motor-Talk Community, I’m currently driving a Yamaha YZF R125 RE29 built in 2017. For a few days now, my shift lever has been jamming up or down every time. The lever is no longer or very difficult to move up even with the foot. And when it breaks off, it doesn’t sound healthy. What could this be about? I would be happy about answers. MfG!

Hello. I bought an old RD 350 351 and want to renovate it as a summer project. I started in the front and removed the fixed caliper. Rusted as expected. Someone has an idea how to get out the silver pistons that press on the brake pads (photo) I can’t find a starting point for levering out and they’re really stuck. Thanks in advance. Gruss, Uwe

Hello, I have recently also purchased a Yamaha DT 175 MX. Year 1981, credible 6,800 KM, two previous owners, really good original condition. The following problem: I now have to renew the spark plug for the 3rd time after only 100 kilometers of driving distance. Each time the gkeiche, new spark plug in (last also with new plug), starts immediately and has great performance. After only 50 KM the power decreases and a few kilometers the engine stops the service and does not jump more on. Spark plug bolted out, held to the cylinder head and kickstarter operated: As with the previous spark plugs, there is an ignition spark, but at the thread of the candle and not where it belongs. I have screwed the prescribed spark plugs of NGK (B8ES) and also once by BERU … with the same result! Can someone give me a tip where it is in the Ekektric or Ignition???? Greeting

Hello For years I have had a Bimota YB11 that carries the engine from the Yamaha Yzf1000r Thunderace. The engine now has 26000KM on it and shows the following problem.: When I had the air filter box off the carburetor and the engine was running, one saw on the carburetor from the cylinder 1 an outflowing air (mixture) column ???? In my opinion this can only mean one thing, an intake valve does not close properly. How do I go now best? How can I check the valve play, what must everything to be dismantled ? Thanks

Servus together from Athens. I need a few tips from you and that’s what I plan to get a used Virtago. Now I’m thinking about whether a 125 or 250er. Here in Greece I find hardly 125er and the 250er are mostly to get with an average of 25 – 30,000 KM, at a price of about 1,200 – 1,500 €, but also well received. For this price range I get in Germanistan several 125er with 15,000 KM. My concerns are now following, i It is advisable to buy 250er with the mentioned 30,000, without expecting any bigger problems in the future, or should I rather buy a 125 and then register it here below. With regard to the use it is so that I do not use the Schnauferl every day, but only to relax along the coastal roads and find one or other beautiful bathing bay. I do not want to heat through the area, but just enjoy. Wel You would rather recommend this model, also with regard to the already run KM performances. Thanks for your tips Pavlos

Hello dear motor talk community. I’m looking for a second motorcycle, which is reliable and brings me some kilometers to work. I hate to need my Speed Triple. Weather-friendly should be the planer and reliable natural… Meanwhile I’m ready that I would like to take an Enduro or Supermoto, preferably around 2000€, age is secondary in itself. Can you recommend the Yamaha XT 600 or 660 to me? What about the competition from the motor talk community? use KTM, Suzuki or MZ… Would really need some decision-making help. I am grateful for any answer and opinion.

Hello forum members, I have fulfilled a youth dream and bought me an unbasked, in original condition, Vmax 2WE BJ 97. There are 12 years old Bridgestone Exedra G525 on it, with the dimensions: 150/90 15 M/C. 74V and 110/90 18 61 V. I would like to have a new tire set. Can someone advise me which brand etc. I should take……The previous owner meant with Dunlop rocking the bike quite strongly…… There are certainly riders, who also the original tire fa A remodeling on Deget is out of the question…… Greetings of the Nubi

Hello all Thunderace drivers who can tell me which oil I should use for my Thunderace.I’ve let myself be told that it makes a lot of difference which oil you use, e.g. when switching the gears, it’s loud and I find the motto a bit restless at all. _Thank you in advance for your help._
