1st Yamaha Virago 125 – was a nice comfortable part and very reliable. Only what the durability was, so had, despite regular inspection etc, the engine after about 68,000 km only the compression, like a bursted balloon. (was new vehicle). 2. Honda Rebel – used with about 5,000 km on the clock. Was also a reliable vehicle, also convenient and start mi almost 70,000 km on the clock. in the Mercedes (he had not noticed stop sign and I had not done anything further – but Möp was gone). It was done on the nothing except oil and air filter, as well as chain set changes – not even inspection or anything. Just, as I now notice on the 3rd machine, was a Honda. They just do what they were built for. 3. Jetzige machine Honda Varadero. Is the absolute madness – reliable like an old deutz, maintenance as with the Rebel and runs and runs… with meanwhile about 77,000 km better than with the approx. 12,000, where I bought them used. Oil consumption to approx. 7,000 KM quasi 0. Now next year is TÜV and I guess that due to the mileage and age some costs will come to me. Brake caliper front, possibly swing and steering head bearings, tires – already alone because of the age of approx. 5 years (would I exchange anyway). The vehicles were not pure fun vehicles but commercial vehicles and brought me always the summer about at daily about 80Km reliable to work. Now the question arises for me – am not the youngest anymore (62), whether I should switch to a scooter. If the TÜV divides us, is after all in the normal light power market for motorcycles what in the mentioned kind to get no more – sometimes from Chinese etc. apart – but something like that does not come into my house. If, then there is either Honda or Yamaha – even if the are more expensive – but to me quality and reliability before price. In the case of the mentioned brands, for example, 125 motorcycles, is either quite small or rather a racing machine for 16 – 18 year olds – for the customer group certainly OK but not really for me. I have already looked around a little on the net – and as a commercial vehicle the Honda Forza would probably be considered – also because the test reports say that it should be reliable, economical, smooth and comfortable. It is also important for me to have a good light, what it should have (LED), because age-related the Have you ever experienced something like this before? I guess next year I’ll have the Forza test and see if that fits. An old used Varadero or Shadow would be an alternative but they are all very old and I would have the same problems as the current Vara relatively quickly. If the TÜV should not divorce us, it will of course continue to drive – the same mileage will pack the certainly still one time. As I said – for me – regardless of the price only something solid reliable in question. The text has now become a little longer but I think you can see what is important to me.

Gasoline expires
Hello together, the following problem (Daelim S3 125ccm) after the full tanking. Under the scooter there was nothing thought about a small puddle and from work. There then on the work evening a light petrol smell found, but not looked more closely there are several two wheels there.. At home and the next day then a puddle was found. It is definitely petrol. Now I have seen that it is the connection nozzle or hose from the tank is leaking. https://www.dataparts.eu/… /fuel tank Have already removed parts from the running board, but I can’t get there. Looks like the inner lining has to be removed, but I can’t get it solved. Does anyone know if they have to remove the front panel!? Bzw. if this is enough then or if I am on the way to the wood!? Thank you for your help!

Probation time, bicycle & alcohol
Hello together. I tried to find something suitable about the search function, but was unfortunately unsuccessful. In general it is true that you can have up to 1.6 promille blood alcohol on the bike, as long as you do not show any driving abnormalities. If you lie below and get involved in an accident, you still have a problem. So far so good. Now there is for beginners up to 21 the 0.0 promille limit instead of the otherwise usual 0.3 promille limit (without driving abnormalities) at Kr aftfahrzeuge. My question is now whether this 0.0 limit of promille for beginners also applies to the bike? My driving instructor at the time only commented with ‘On the bike may have up to 1.6.’. I don’t care if I can cycle with my buddies even more cheerfully with the bike through the area after the drinking tour. I have a job in a beer garden and there it is common that, after the shop is closed, you still drink 1 or a maximum of 2 beers together. Up to me after The house is ~6km. I’m only interested in whether I can still (legally) ride my bike home after the 2 beers (only residential areas and dirt roads). I’m 18 and still have about 7 months probation time before me. I just don’t want to have a police car driving over the way and I get trial time extension, ASF, fine and driving ban for 0.2 promille on the bike. Greetings.

Rattles V8 4.2
Hello together I have found a “rattle” at my Spyder. The rattle occurs, e.g. in the second gear, slightly undertoured, accelerated. This noise comes from behind. My garage suspected a loose part, e.g. the heat shield. Today the whole rear was dismantled, unfortunately without success. Currently the request is running at Audi in Switzerland and in Germany. The mechanics suspect a problem in the gearbox. Until this evening it was not yet clear how it continues and whether i We decided to leave the Spyder on the spot and wait for the report. The car has now just 1’000km on the clock. I now got a new S8 as a replacement (520 hp) also not bad. 😉 Gruss Traugottle

Required BE number or data sheet for Kawa GPZ 400 FII
Hello, I bought a Kawasaki GPZ 400 FII. Since she was from abroad she did not have a German paper. I now need a single purchase for the assembly of the TÜV. The good man from the TÜV could not find out data about the engine and the guys from Kawasaki could not help me. Can someone send me a data sheet or the BE number which has about the same engine. Has probably an import and not been sold in Germany. Frame number: Z X400C 003564 Must have around 46kw. Please help and thank you!!!!
