  • Motor oil additive for motorcycle with oil bath coupling?

    Hello have found at ebay two engine oil ceramic additives. On the one hand Moton XT-120, which according to the offer is suitable for motorcycles with oil bath coupling and on the other hand the energytune “bike”. Here, however, the seller points out that there can be clutch slides. According to the operating instructions of my Yamaha R6 you should not attach any additives to the oil, since there can be flat clutch slides. Now my question: Has anyone already had experience with one of these two products? Or would i Do you generally advise against this? Greetings Daniel

  • Airy pants for summer

    Hello Together, as you can already see from the title, I am looking for an airy pants for the summer. With the jackets this is no problem, there are plenty of choices. I am currently riding with the Rev’It Quantum 2 Air. I myself have a John Doe monolayer jeans and a Spirit Motors Cargo pants. In addition, I have ordered and tried various pants, but even the “Air” variants have all been quite air-impermeable so far… More than a small ventilation scan They all didn’t hlitz. I would like to have something that I can wear without functional wash, without the fabric peeling up my skin (John Doe…) or that I stick in it after 10min running because the fabric is so tight. Only exception so far the VANUCCI VAT-1, but that’s more like the model net tights on the mesh inserts… Can anyone recommend something? Greetings Marco

  • Does a PowerCAP really bring anything???

    Boys and girls, I need your help. Quite simple question: Does a PowerCap really bring an audible improvement of the sound at higher performances??? And if so, how can you put it in numbers (and formulas)? (Instruction for this thread: In another forum you don’t believe that a PowerCap really helps what. And I just don’t want to leave it with this misbelieving.) Ask for competent answers.

  • Fraud on eBay – what would you do??

    Hello! As one or the other will be known, I have bought a “new” Hifonics Colossus XI Final Edition on eBay for 560Euro. Here’s the link:http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?… So far so well, everything had worked out and the final stage arrived and looks really brand new. The invoice was with 399Euro. The seller said it was a inventory bargain. Now the Colli smoked after only 5 hours of operation (for whatever reason). The nice (really, very nice) gentleman said that although on that day a Hifonics Colossus XI was sold at the MediaMarkt, but not a final edition. The invoice sent by the seller is definitely not from the Colli Final Edition. Thus there is no guarantee and I would have to repa I asked if he is so nice and first makes a quote. He says no problem, he does. The power amplifier is not new either. With only 200 produced devices, Hifonics knows exactly where they were delivered. The one I had bought was already at repair!!!!! So the power amplifier is neither new (but only renewed/repaired), nor is there an invoice with warranty for this device. What would you do. I HOLD now proposed to the seller , that he pays the repair and to me still 100Euro as “reparation” and value loss (it is not new and has no guarantee). So far I only wrote to him, explained the situation and asked him to contact me as soon as possible, because otherwise I will go to the police. So far no action of him (is not yet long ago). Groundless impudence, right? What would you do in my place??? Thanks already for good tips!

  • Survey: Should Optima and Stinger continue to share a subforum?

    Last year, the wish arose that the Optima should be solved from the joint subforum with the Stinger. An initial discussion did not lead to a clear result. Therefore, there is now a survey on the facts: Should the Optima be solved from the joint subforum with the Stinger and moved to the main forum? a shift into the main forum also leads in the future to the Optima (or Optima Forum) significantly worse over the usual forum Search engines can be found on the web. The survey is active up to the point and is public. If the survey leads to a clear result, it will be implemented in this way.

  • My Stinger’s Way on the Ship

    Hello friends of great cars and experts, since my Stinger just on the way from Pyeongtaek (according to PIC production 2./3.07. and preparation start in Bremerhaven 28.08., I already have FIN) seems to be, I wanted to ask if you know a way to find out the ship on which my Stinger is located. If I know the ship (e.g. could be the Morning Courier, you can see the current location with the Vesselfinder at any time). Needless, but funny! Thanks for abouti tips on this, Kia here in Austria referred me to my seller, who could only tell me the production idenfi cation code , above data and the FIN . Dear greetings from Austria, where I have not seen a single Stinger on the street since the order (three months ago), UNIQUE! Sepp

  • Do you always have bandages with you?

    I always have my bandages in it, even if it is not a duty. I bought a handlebar bag once and stored almost a complete first-aid kit there, except for a few exceptions. After a fall I was already dependent on it and could connect the leg myself. I had a large area of abrasion from the knee down to almost the middle of the calf. I do not want to “carry along” for my part and I also do not want helplessly next to it. If one of the groups or road users needs help in general, what do you think about it or what?

  • Test drive Antara Diesel

    Hi guys, I was at the dealer’s today and I tried the Antara Cosmo as a diesel. Basically I find the car very successful although still a few things bother. Here my summary: Optically very appealing design, apparently good workmanship and material selection. However, the 3 ventilation openings in the middle are far too large. Thus the ventilation controllers are operated far below the switch knob, where you can hardly reach it reasonably. Kafferra to a little bit small. Partial leather equipment very comfortable and qualitatively good. Seat heating switch very poorly positioned. To see on which level you are set, you have to lean far forward and have the road traffic no longer in view. Suspension comfort very tight, sporty and yet comfortable. A thick plus. Well for the terrain he is probably not thought anyway 🙂 . The turbo hole of the Captiva is very shrunk. The turbo is now much earlier. price consumption should therefore also rise somewhat 🙁 . The car had only 200 km on the speedometer that I forgive a slightly shaky clutch and a slightly high fuel consumption. The package selection is really very modest but I think this is due to logitic “advantages” because the car is built in Korea and is shipped here. The general driving behaviour is consistently good although a 2.2 l engine would have fit a little better, the steering is very light and yet feels but the price is a little too high. I get more car for the money at Kia. Let’s see how I can still act. Have others tried the car? Sign your impressions. Maybe it will be our next car 🙂 Gruss Thomas

  • Diesel consumption 250 CDI with 7G +

    Hello in the round, My r172 would have to be based on the 204 it platform which I could drive with 220 CDI on average on 5 liters. I now have the first 250 km behind us and watch the speed, which always moves nicely close to the 1000 rpm. The car has just over 6000 km and the average is shown to me with over 6 liters of diesel. The transmission is learningable and the engine was driven last year only 6000 km. Is there anything else?
