  • New R8 V10 – Squeaking brakes!

    hello, with my r8 – so far about 400 km down – I have the following 2 problems since yesterday: 1. the brakes squeak, especially at very low speeds and light braking, such as slow braking in front of a red ampel. this is not a quiet squeak, but very loud and persistent. could go crazy. that’s not possible at all. sounds like a 20-year-old carrot. 2. with not even background (so everything that is not perfectly straight, smooth asphalt) hears m it is at least as annoying as driving with wet chalk on a board. I can’t locate the noise, it can be heard clearly when the windows are closed. guess that the brakes are either also slightly grinding or are caused by the suspension. the latter seems more likely to me, since the noise disappears with a flat track (if the brakes are grinding, it wouldn’t be the case if the driver were to use the brakes). all). long talk, short meaning: does someone know these problems and if necessary, he knows approaches to the solution? btw: at audio I still watch over it today. but they have already indicated that this could be difficult. so I would be really grateful for tips! dear greetings, steve.

  • New shop ? Fake or Real ?

    Hello dear community, I just looked around for a machine on mobile.de and suddenly came across this dealer www.moto-performance.com <- If links should be forbidden I take this out again. What do you think about it ? Does everything sound really good except the fact that the dealer is not in Germany ( therefore also the great prices ). Have you heard of the shop before ? Please for your help LG

  • Purchase advice / Experiences, tips and inspirations

    Servus, on the other hand! Since I’ve been looking for the right machine, I’ve been landing here again and again, and now that I’m getting something, I’ve been hoping that you can help me. I’m grateful for every tip. To me: I’m 31 and I live in Vienna. Yes, I’m an Ösi. 😀 I’m 1.77m tall and (mostly) 79kg, so I’m quite average. I’m not a novice, but I only had a few years break and have been riding my mother’s motorcycle again for a few months now – ’97 BMW F 650 GS. A brave, Fe Thanks to the combination of changing jobs and switching from partial to full-time, I can now save the necessary change over the winter in order to buy my own machine in the spring. Used or if the perfect bike is also new with financing. But rather needed. I have relatively spongy ideas and am ready to compromise. I hope you can give me suggestions or inspirations with which I then search Brand: No matter. Everyday fitness: Must be given, will probably be driven 2-5 days a week and should last a few years. That means little error prone and acceptable spare parts market. City/country/motorway 50/40/10%. Motorization: Rather 2-cylinder, rather more than less cylinder capacity, rather low-touring. I rather look for a rich, deep sound. If you can help me with an end pot change that’s enough. kW/PS are nice, but don’t decide End. Weight: Better lighter, but not really important. Seat position: Straight, but ready to compromise slanting freedom: Should be good, I like to put myself far into the curve. Optics: Definitely naked, rather old-fashioned. I’m quite open from naked bike to cruiser to chopper, if otherwise fits. So that I take an enduro everything would have to fit really well. I like exotics, but exotics often have spare parts problems. Price: 3000 while nice, up to 5000 would be in if necessary, a Otherwise I would have to make a payment. On the following machines I have already sat and should serve as a reference, which I like. ’97 BMW F 650 GS – good sitting position, light, super slanting freedom. There it ends unfortunately also. ’75 Moto Guzzi California 850T – Pleasant sitting position, wonderful sound, relatively good slanting position. But Moto Kappuzzi? ’83 Moto Guzzi 1000 SP – Not quite as comfortable, but also good sound and good slanting position. Moto Kappuzzi? 2017 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Eldorado – Pleasant sitting position, slanting position catastrophic. No-Go. ’91 Yamaha FZX 750 – Quite pleasant sitting position, pulls well, slanting position well, but sound of a racing machine. Highly touring 4-cylinder halt. ’80 Yamaha XS650 – Pleasant sitting position, relatively small. Furthermore I have the following machines in mind: Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog – relatively short-lived model series. Spare parts? pre-2015 BMW F800R – Apparently good everyday wheel, headlights need getting used to, fairly high-touring . Sound? BMW R1100R or R1150R – Suitable for everyday use? Sound? >900ccm Virago, Dragstar, Intruder, Shadow – Suitable for everyday use? Angular? Moto Guzzi California 1100 EV – Suitable for everyday use? Kappuzzi? I’m open to all suggestions, especially for models that I haven’t considered yet. If you have any experience of the machines I mentioned, that’s also very welcome to me. LG, spidercoffein

  • Beginner buys, what do I need?

    Hello, since a pretty big shop near me now after season end offers quite a percentage I would like to buy my first equipment. Will once (distance) and as much as possible get everything. Nothing is available. I just don’t want to forget anything, so what do I need and there are certain details to pay attention to? For the time being only about relatively short tours, i.e. suitcase/tank backpack outside. So far I came up with the following: – Gloves – Shoes – Helmet – Jacket/hose – Kidney belt – Oil B in grateful for all tips. LG Haasinger

  • Motorcycle with little consumption and good everyday suitability

    Hello, I need your help. After the winter I think about deregistering my car and driving with a motorcycle to the technical school. Criteria. Consumption less than 5.5-6 liters, should need less than my car. Cladding with good wind protection. Should be easy to drive, so also sometimes float through the Alps etc. Performance from ~50 HP Buget are around the 2000 € What do you mean about what you could look around. many greetings Martin

  • Today, registration office…

    In the meantime, I have become very good, the fleet has become very manageable with four cars, a trailer and a motorcycle. But now and then, a vehicle is still being replaced. This currently concerned the car of one of my children, which has been in the house for more than 3 years. Today, therefore, another car should be registered instead. And then it happened: At the local registration office, the documents and documents brought along at a counter are first placed on full disks. My wife, who was at the registration office and told me earlier what happened to her: The lady only saw my name on the top of the authority and said: “Oh, Mr. “cng-lpg”, everything is fine with the documents!”, and handed my wife the waiting stamp directly. My name is known at the registration office. And that is about 200,000 inhabitants. I have now something quite wrong or completely correct. Is that right? *laughs* Greetings Michael

  • Determine whether the engine is fixed

    Hello guys, I want to buy a used motorcycle, this one has been in the garage for 5 years. I don’t think the engine is fixed, but now I’m interested in how I could check it at all. The machine has no kick starter and the lid of the ignition device or the clutch lid lets you unscrew definitely not every seller I’ve already read out with spark plug and shine in if you can recognize rust on the piston, but that’s somehow too unsich he. So if anyone had a great idea, I’d be interested in it. Thank you to everyone.

  • Problems with automatic opening/closing

    Unfortunately, I have to ask again. That with the automatic open and close when approaching or leaving somehow does not want to work. It went exactly once briefly. After the last software update then again no more. At the beginning we created profiles for me and my wife. Here of course also easy entry activated. We then also activated both mobile phones as keys. As far as it works. With the cell phone we can open and close. Afterwards I have in the first place In the meantime, however, there are two profiles with my name. Once I created this as well as the “Tesla” profile. I assigned the mobile phone to the Tesla profile, which is in my name. If so, everything should fit. In the iPhone, I have “always set up”. Nevertheless, this doesn’t work. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? AND: Where can I find the settings for the mobile phone connections in which I limp I don’t know which cell phone is standard? We didn’t have it in the Connect and wanted to do it afterwards. But I can’t get there anymore. I just can’t find the setting.

  • Differences between Model Y LR and P?

    Hello dear reader, I am interested in a tesla model y. Currently I have a 3.5l 306ps mercedes (only as a reference where I come from and claim regarding chassis/wheels) concrete questions: what is next to chassis, power and alu pedals, spoiler different LR vs P? optically I find the deeper laying beautiful, also the more power would be nice but I don’t want to have more hard board. can I also raise smaller wheels on the P (e.g.19″? can I also raise narrower wheels (LR and P)? 275er is completely exaggerated also 255 is damn much. 225er all around would be my favorite have both versions matrix LED and activated? is it worth looking at quality for the production site or is it meanwhile equivalent? is there a bad price increase/removal in the next time? love gruss

  • Complaint gap dimensions bumper/headlights

    Hello! I wanted to hear your opinion about the gap between my bumper and headlights. It seems that the bumper has been installed too “deeply”. On the other hand, this is also the case, only not so pronounced. The remaining transitions of the bumper to other components are mM according to iO. Is this in the frame or does Tesla have to repair it? I have mentioned a lack (at least in my opinion) broadly when picking up the car. When he came back with a car, he said he couldn’t change anything, as the bumper was glued. Thank you for your opinion. FG
