  • GPZ 900 R

    Hello forum, I’m new here and hope I don’t make a mistake here the first time. I wanted to get a GPZ 900 R soon, but I have a few things to think about. First the motorcycle was built in 1989, that is 22 years old and ran a whole 200,000 km. The seller has renewed in front of about 10,000 km tires, brakes, Simmeringe in the fork, chain kit and cooling circuit. He also said that he probably had resyncronized it, whatever that means. Tips and experiences regarding the GPZ and what should I pay attention to during the test drive? I thank you already in advance MfG Eddie

  • CPI Oliver Sport goes out while driving!

    Hello together! I drove today with my sister’s scooter (in case of rain). After about 5 minutes of full drive at approx. 65 km/h the scooter did not take any more gas. I rolled out and the engine went straight out! After I was standing I could not start the scooter any more. About the E-start was only a cracking relay to hear. But what surprised me even more was that the kick starter was apparently blocked like! It was not possible to move the kick lever. I pushed the scooter home n, here and there a bit shaken, but nothing happened! So first breakfast and let go! After the meal I got the scooter really started again. also the kick worked again. However, he drove only about 40 km/h stuttered at certain gas position and went out again several times. Same problem no E-start no Kickstart At some point the new(!!!) gel battery was also empty. A few hours of recharge-clamped – started scooter ran (bad). Then the rear light went off (brake light and headlights were intact) . The scooter went off again and now it does absolutely no more mucks! No relay clapping no nothing at all! The petrol filter was replaced after the throttle of the scooter 5 days ago (roller stood a year ago) By the way a sports exhaust was installed and a distance ring (though used to throttle) removed. I noticed that I really like to drive scooters despite my own cars, but solc I want to drive this thing and I don’t want to push the mill all the time! Can you professionals help me, I don’t even have the touch of a clue! Thanks in advance guys (and girls)

  • Roller has bad suit / Swallows herself

    Hello, I have a scooter Suzuki AP 50 Bj. 95 with approx. 20,000km of mileage. The scooter is completely original and has never been throttled. I brought the scooter back to life after about 8 years of service life. I cleaned both tanks for this purpose. I cleaned the carburettor already 2 times (gassers put into petrol overnight, and everything blown out with compressed air). Of course I changed all liquids and used a new battery. I have even checked and cleaned the clutch and installed a new drive belt.The spark plug is deer brown.So, now to my problem: When I start with full throttle the scooter has no power and accelerates very slowly. When accelerating with slow-rotating gas it is partly OK. In the cold state it seems to be better than in the warm. When I arrive at approx. 50 km/h it accelerates relatively quickly to the final speed of approx. 68 km/h. He drives up a mountain without significant loss of strength with approx. 60 km/h. It feels as if the carburetor would swallow itself while accelerating. Strangely, the ONLY when accelerating is like this, otherwise the scooter runs perfectly. Can someone please give me a hint what I can still do to make the start and speed up better again? Thanks and greeting Superpuk

  • Roller does not start after a long service life.

    Hello forum team, My scooter, a PGO Big Max, does not start after a long service life (about 9 years). I have recharged the battery and the same duty to be OK. Also with the foot starter he does not give a kick. Where would you first look for the cause for the non-starting? Thanks in advance for an immediate back-information. Greetings from beautiful high forest. Winfried

  • Large-scale roller purchasing consultancy

    Hi guys, I’m looking (still) for a big scooter. Have the open motorcycle bill. 1.82 big and 104Kg. Since I don’t have a car, the scooter will serve as a everyday vehicle and for the way to work (currently 5Km). After the soon move, the work path will probably be between 20-30Km. In addition, I would like to make trips abroad 2-3 times a year (Holland, Italy etc.) and also with the scooter. Important for me are reliability and even more important the consumption In the beginning I had the Majesty 400 or Burgman 400 in my head, but I’m still insecure.Maybe they are a bit too fat for the beginning or for everyday life. So now I have picked out the Burgman 200, Xmax 250,Xcity 250 and the SH300. Kymco and Co. I don’t want to. It’s important for me that I can stretch out my legs and don’t have to sit constantly at 90 degrees angle, so theoretically only the Burgman 200 is left. So that I get a feeling tonight there’s a tour of a Burgman 125, there nearby. What do you think about it? Perhaps the 400 Burgman or Majesty would be the smarter choice after all? I’m a little bothered by the rear, because it looks like it’s going far beyond the rear wheel.

  • Yamaha RJ05 / No power from 8500 rpm (stutters, jerks)

    Hello community, I have the following problem on my R6 RJ05: From a fairly exact 8500 rpm the performance is missing. I always describe it like a kind of child safety system The performance is completely gone, the machine starts to stutter and first does not take any gas until the rotary blade falls off again and attracts it again. But only up to 8500 rpm. I had given a system cleaner in the tank last year and the problem was gone during a longer tour, after the winter this year again the same problem. The problem has been the machine for a long time, since I anyway rarely and little driving I had never had to deal with the muse. The good piece should be given for a new MT07 in payment, however the dealer could give me on the basis only “a few hundred” , which is why it is now active also there for the examination there is what it could be. Actuel the workshop is probably in contact with Yamaha whether the error is known. The factory At present, however, it tends to the petrol pump, which probably doesn’t deliver enough from XY U/min. A new pump probably costs ~600€ if I have seen this right with my research. Evtl has some similar experiences or solutions here.

Rtel turn.What can that be, or what do I have to change with it that purrs again.Understand the whole net.When starting it turns then also in the setting extremely high so that the rear wheel turns already like crazy..For helpful tips I am grateful to you

  • Battery Question & Battery connections..!?!

    Hello, in my sportster is the battery inside fries. Now I bought a new one, however I have the following problem. The old battery had when looking at it in driving direction the plus pole from the left side and the minus pole on the right side. With the new battery it is exactly the other way around, plus on the right and minus on the left side. Now I have the problem that my cables plus and minus are too short, could extend the cables which actually not in the sense of the If I turned the battery by 180° it would fit, but I can’t connect the cables like this. Do you have any idea or how did you solve that? Greetings Mr. Nesquik

  • Breakout or Street Bob again

    So I’m swinging again if I don’t do it….. No fun Even though I wanted to wait with the message but some people have asked me by PN often as it looks like. I’m currently waiting for my breakout I ordered the Softail Breakout from mine a little over a week ago. Again for me as a dealer only Harley Pfeiffer in Kamen came into question. Both Motomaxx, Harley Köln, Düsseldorf and Thunderbike are so about prices from uncooperative. Eini That’s because I’m a Düsseldorfer That’s what the Depp wants, but already when I ordered the Bob. I’m creepy as only one can order a Harley at all. After I drove the breakout more intensely in nice weather and even quite well around the corner so much the decision was a lot easier Was actually always clear what it should be planned in KW 13 are delivered + then still the time for the conversion. I look forward to the next meeting and on the tours with the usual suspicious with which I am always on Way anyway. Photos still follow. Greeting Tank
