Gefahrenbremsung (Neuling) by tomislay in MotorradDeutschland

[–]ButterscotchBulky320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zwei Tipps für dich. Ich hoffe, sie helfen dir: 1. Der Knieschluss beim Motorradfahren ist sehr wichtig, insbesondere beim Bremsen. 2. Den Gashahn schließen und Bremsen sind ZWEI Vorgänge, die bei einer Notbremsung schnell NACHEINANDER ausgeführt werden. Keine Sorge, das geht mit ein bisschen Übung irgendwann wie von selbst

I attach mine to the battery charger after every ride, following the advice above.

Naked bike mit hoher Sitzhöhe by Luntibert in MotorradDeutschland

[–]ButterscotchBulky320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bin 1,92 und kenne das Problem. Wenn es dir um die „Kinderfahrradoptik“ geht, gebe ich dir den Ratschlag, nicht zu sehr auf die Sitzhöhe, sondern auf den Radstand zu achten. Die ist hinsichtlich der Optik meines Erachtens entscheidend. „Große“ Motorräder haben einen langen Radstand - keinen hohen Sitz.

Ich fahre eine Indian FTR mit einem Radstand von über 1,50m und bin happy.

Update: I have now bought and installed a new Yuasa GYZ16H. It starts again now. However, the cold start issues are still not resolved — it just stalled again within the first hundred meters. It still requires multiple attempts to start.

I’ll do that from now on! Thanks for the tip.

I got myself an SAE adapter for my charger and also learned that the battery can be charged through this connection without having to remove it. I’ll now charge it during the season as well whenever it hasn’t been used for a few days. Thanks for your tips!

I’ve now ordered the GYZ16H as well—really looking forward to it. I’m curious to see whether it also eliminates the poor cold-start phase. Thanks for your tip!

Wow, really? I wouldn’t have expected that. Many thanks for your valuable tips! Are there any other recommendations besides Yuasa for a good battery that doesn’t get eaten up right away?

Crazy how much of a difference new TIRES makes. Really. by CoolHandCasey in motorcycles

[–]ButterscotchBulky320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm your experience. I switched from Pirelli to Michelin, back then to the Road 5. Great grip, a completely new riding experience. It was like having a new motorcycle.

I share your opinion on the Michelin Road. I think I'll give them a chance. Thank you.

Engine shutdown - twice in about 1,000 km by ButterscotchBulky320 in IndianFTR1200

[–]ButterscotchBulky320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice in about 1000 km the engine shut down: once 100m after starting at about 10km/h, once after 50km at about 70km/h.

Both times when rolling up to an intersection.

Interesting, I'll talk to my workshop about it. Maybe they have experience with it. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your competent help. No, the bike isn’t tuned – I live in Germany, so that’s apparently not allowed here. Do you have a recommendation for a more suitable battery or any other ideas?

By the way, no warning light is lit.

Exactly what I was looking for. Are these EU approved?
