  • New entrants advice motorcycle

    Hello, I will soon make the motorcycle driver’s license and think about which bike I will get. From the category it should be a sports bike or naked bike. From the budget I am flexible, like with the car however I prefer a slightly better version and do not go for a new, but rather on a 1-2 years well maintained motorcycle. I would be willing to spend maximum 7000-8000 euros. What can you recommend me? Important would be a sporty look, from driving it should not necessarily be radically sporty (as one says YAMAHA), but a good mixture of sport and everyday fitness. A value-resistant model would also be preferable, since I often use the experience with my cars after 3-4 years Please comments à la “You should start with 34 hp” avoid. I am aware of the risks but also of the opinion that you can take it carefully, also because the machine has 100 or more horses. As an idea I once had: Honda CBR600RR as used Suzuki GSX-600R as used Yamaha MT-09 possibly new Thanks for a few tips

  • Workshop does not include any new spare parts!

    Hi, sister was at a free workshop today, where something should be repaired. Since she has little money, she ordered suitable spare parts in the www and brought them with her for the appointment. In the workshop she was told that one does not carry out the repair with the brought parts, since one could not give a guarantee for it. One would have to order the parts yourself. But the workshop also orders parts in the www. Where is the difference? And how is that with guarantee? If you pass end parts, where is the problem? Thank you. Greetings Bud

  • Starter battery empty again after 8 hours of charging?

    Moin, my car was moved very little mostly only with short distances. Yesterday it can not start because the battery is empty. When voltage measurement shows the multimeter 9.6V I then took out the battery and connected it in the apartment to a charger (a very cheap one from Absaar). Although the battery is detected and charged, after c.a 1 hour shows however the charger that the battery is defective and the charging process has been stopped Have read in the network that a battery This seems to help, charging takes much longer this time, the charging current increases continuously(14,4V) and battery capacity also (according to the charger 80% charged). However, after 10 hours of charging time, the charger shows again that the battery is defective. The battery has only 10.7V again. What can this be? Can I still save the battery? Maybe with a higher value, the battery can be used to save the battery. to the charger of CTEK try greetings

  • Change brakes Tips/exchange

    Hello together, I’ve changed brakes a few times successfully, but I’d like to get your tips on this. In my experience, everyone does something different. I personally lubricate copper paste on the screw pads and secure sliding pins and saddle carriers with Loctite screw-resistant and also the sliding surfaces of the pads are lubricated with pasta. What are your experiences? Do you have bad experiences with copper paste and Loctite? Do you use no Loctite at all but just pop on dry? Do you use Anti-Quitsch Pasta? Would you like to share experiences with me LG

  • Ignition of new cars

    Hello, one often hears “sporty” new cars passing by, which are noticeable by violent loud banging, like in the 50s. Question about this: is the intention of the manufacturer, a technical deficiency or caused by tuning? Why is the noise pollution allowed?

  • Motorbike throttle after registration?

    Hello together, short question, because I don’t know exactly in the area. I have the open A driver’s license, a friend has now made A2 and bought a machine. The machine currently has 72Ps and is still standing at the dealer. The machine will be registered at the registration office on Wednesday and will pick up the license plate. I will then drive to the dealer on Friday, mount the license plate and pick up the machine because I can drive it with the 72 Ps. Then I will drive it on Now to my question: Is the order correct? Do I or the girlfriend have to do something after that or notice or can she then leave without any problems with the machine? Thank you. Best regards.

  • Motorcycle sale rip-off?

    Hello, I have posted an ad via mobile and I have a certain Thomas after a few emails and the “price negotiation” wrote this mail: Oh, what a nice ride you drive, now I am satisfied with his condition and also agree with the price of the trip, I will organize a shipping company from here, from which one of the agents comes to pick up, the agent will be responsible for the trial trip and also take care of the entire document, including the change of ownership and signatures, I would like to take the trip and pick it up myself, but due to my work we may not leave the location for a few weeks, the payment is made by bank transfer, and once the payment has been made and is credited to your account, select a suitable date on which the agent should come home to pick up and transport to you (Austria), so come back to me with your bank account so that I with the payment can continue, or you can send me a bank account, and it is pretty simple, safe and secure, I need you to provide the following details so that I can continue with the payment. Name of the bank: Account holder Account number: BIC: IBAN: Total amount: I will send the payment as soon as possible and as soon as the amount is free on your account, my forwarder will leave with you at your appropriate time and at your desired date. I think it’s kind of weird, but my parents both work in the banking business and say that you can’t get money back. What do you think about it? Still these scammers? Thanks for your answers!

  • Motorcycle side lighting

    I am looking for a Blinker /TFL side lighting with E test signs. Unfortunately eBay and Amazon only offers Chinese products that do not offer such things, but which unfortunately look chic and – as I find – increase the safety and recognition. (please don’t discuss about sense and nonsense of such gadgets now) Just want to “legally drive without having problems with the race management. BMW has for example these side emblems that are underlit and can blink. Something like that. The one or the other link has for me where I can find something like this. Thank you very much! Dsu

  • Should the instructor ride on the motorcycle?

    Hello, I have been reading here for some time and since it was only about the topic of motorcycle driver’s license again, I wanted to ask if you consider it important that the instructor rides with you during the training on the motorcycle. My instructor last year was an active driver himself and did the training really great. However, he only took the special rides himself on the motorcycle, the normal training hours did not. I personally did not find this at all bad, since I so while practicing through the driving school car was better to see and also sometimes had cover to the rear. Later, during the special rides, he went with the bike, partly also ahead, in order to be able to show me the right techniques directly, what really great worked out I found this procedure very good, but there are also always voices, that the riding instructor should always ride on the bike.
