  • First motorcycle

    Good evening together I’m new here in the forum and wanted to ask you about your opinion and experiences. I’ve met 1 month of my driver’s license and thus one of my biggest dreams. I’ve already tested 5 machines once the kawa zx6r the honda cbr 600rr the yamaha yzf r1 rn09 the susi gsx r1000 k4 une the kawa z750. To my person is 1.93 tall 24 years old and have a wide cross and weigh 93 kilo. The problem I have is that I can handle the 600 I have almost over the tank and after 45 min already realize that my knees hurt me well a naked is not so 100% my own I would like a super athlete. The r1 and the k4 have told me very much about sitting much better than the 600 he. Since I’m a starter the 150 ps are way too much to me although the mind tells me the bike drives only as you want to drive it. I think about a throttle but I don’t know if it’s so good. Now my question is euc h what advantages and disadvantages the r1 and the k4 have or you have experiences. Mfg Marcel

  • Bandit 650s or 1250s?

    Hello, I have been driving a Bandit 600 B.J. 2001 for 5 years and it should finally be a new sports tourer, injector and should also have ABS. What I thought is to buy a Bandit again, but am not sure if 650er with 86P.S. or 1250 with 98 p.s. What do you say about it, the two are almost identical from weight however 1250er has more bangs from below. I mostly do not drive faster than 160-180 if at all, which also makes 650er loose. Consumption also m What do you think?

  • Winter GSXR 600 K1 (empty carburettor)

    Hello everyone here, I’m new here in the forum and I’m addressing you directly with a question… I bought my GSXR 600 K2 (built in 2002) this summer. Is my first motorcycle. I already made you winter party some time ago (putting, battery out, jacking up, …) but I’ve failed miserably when emptying the carburettor. ?? I found the carburettor, but there’s no trace of the drain screws…. It’s already very late and the ghosts st ride with the question, if this is necessary at all, but I would be interested in where I find the drain screws and how I best proceed to empty the carburetors. Maybe one of you can help me with photos or a description. Thank you already in advance! Friendly greeting, Bernd

  • Suzuki VZ Marauder 800 – 1997 ?

    Good evening, everyone. My sweetheart (VZ 800, Bj 1997, 20tKm) is currently presenting me with problems and maybe someone can give me a hot tip here. She doesn’t start anymore; the reason was the last exit last year. After a few kilometers I noticed (first) that the start switch was stuck and the machine started permanently, or at the turn-off it jumped again and again. When I could finally release the button, it didn’t jump any more. g it again, however, it went out at every traffic light again or as soon as it only ran in the stationary gas. The drive home was an ordeal. It needed several starters from the car. I have overtaken the switch now, should funzen; battery came new; starter came new; petrol pump came new; magnetic switch came new; ignition coils came new. Nevertheless, it gives no more mucks of itself, only the petrol pump starts up – until pressure is built up. Starter does not matter, unless I go directly to the Battery – but not enough to start – but he turns. I am finished. Does anyone have an idea here? I would like to “execute” my sweetheart again.

  • Suzuki DR 350 as the first motorcycle?

    Hello first of all, I’m about to do my a2 driver’s license and am looking for a motorcycle, which I want to buy as the first real motorcycle. So far I have gained some driving experience with the simson s50 from my father. So after a long research I came to the Dr 350 now I have a few questions about the motorcycle which you can answer me vlt better. 1. Question: How about driving with Sozius? Not offroad only onroad. 2. Question: Does this have any experience in converting to LED lighting? and if so, how much does it cost? (so also TÜV and what is included in it to be able to use officially) 3. Question: Are there models up to 1994 that only have kick starters and from 1994 on they also have E starters, how difficult is such a thing to do (at the simson I get it all the time at the 2 times)? Differently asked the more weight worth with the version with E starter? Thank you Greeting Niels

  • Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit S Pop, jerks in the lower speed range.

    Hello municipality, I bought myself a Suzuki GSF600 Bandit Bj. 2001 with 8000 Km, so I am completely satisfied with the Suzi but……. since the latest you jerked in the lower speed range as if she had any dropouts, when I then gas again the dropouts are gone. I brought the Suzi to the workshop and had the following done : oil, oil filter, needle valves of carburettor were replaced, petrol filter, air filter, spark plugs. So then you drove once two days well and now begin As a tip of the workshop I got the spark plugs supposed not to look good, but in my opinion I can’t confirm. I sprayed WD 40 into the plugs but did not help. Who did the wrong tip for me… MfG Mathias

  • Suzuki GSR 600 – ABS lamp lights up, battery empty

    Servus together, I bought a lithium battery in April 2022 and then drove a tour to South Tyrol in May, about 1000km without any problems. In August the ABS control lighted up during a ride and shortly afterwards I stopped because the battery was empty. I then switched the controller on suspicion, because it was already broken. I then thought the problem would have been solved, measured the charging voltage under load and had 14,5V, also on the test drive was al les Ok. I drove again on the weekend and after 60km the ABS lamp lit up again. Luckily I still came home. Today I expanded the stator of the Lima and measured it to resistance, each winding had 0.5 ohms. So seems to be. Can it be that the lithium battery is not suitable for the controller and there is the problem?

  • Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit – neutral switch / idle switch

    Moin, for me the neutral switch has not been displayed sporadically for a long time and that’s what I do on the bike then everything is going well it doesn’t work at all or just very briefly. I thought about the neutral switch but I don’t know exactly where the bike is (Ritzel front?) ….. does someone also assume that it is the switch with this bad image? Never had such a thing on the bike! Bandit 600 of 2000 Pop

  • SV650 2022 which exhaust?

    Hi together, I bought a new SV 650 and would like to mount a different exhaust. It should not be a roaring bag, I’m primarily concerned with the look. The original fits more to a tank than to a motorcycle 😉 But a bit more beautiful sound would be okay. It should definitely be with ABE or EC approval and logically not too loud. Someone a hot tip?

  • Naked bike for big people

    Hey, I’m doing my driver’s license right now and I’m 1.90m tall, so I have some difficulty finding a suitable motorcycle, with the most tests the riders are significantly smaller. Does anyone have experience with the GSX-S750, am I already too long for them? And if 750 or 1000 change at the bigger of the bike also little, is only the engine that is bigger. The only motorcycles that are clearly suitable for bigger ones, would be big cruisers, but I actually want e ride a bike in Naked.
