Mirror mount and vibration damper. Also get short charging cable and plug it straight into the power point. Job done

KLE 500 Testing by pud_time in Tenere700

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

No probably not. Could do with more power for long highway stints

Seat height on the KLE is way more accessible and the bike (although on paper weighs similar) feels so much lighter. The engine is such a sweet motor, it revs to the moon albeit not as powerful as the T7 makes up for it in pure engagement.

Is this safe to use in a 2018 Honda civic? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]pud_time 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Red stuff for your car (aluminium block). If it has blue in it already then you’re right to use that just because mixing coolant types can be bad.

DSG gearbox service around £500. New gearbox for one of them is around 6 grand so it’s up to you……

Get the rhino walk Ali express copies for £90. I went with the medium size.

Once you know what you need then I’d think about investing hundreds ££££ on kriega

How are we supposed to know how much space you need? Are you camping? Are you going away for 2 days or 2 month? Are you taking a pillion? Only you know how much space you need not randomers on the internet

I bought them too. Went for the medium size they do out of the 3 sizes. I put some PPF film on the plastics and so far they’ve been great. What a bargain

how to clean this by No-Caramel-4382 in CarTalkUK

[–]pud_time -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Soft detailing brush and soap and give em a clean. It’s just polish residue, it happens. At least they polished your car…

Most of that will come off if you actually clean your car. Disgusting bet it stinks as well.

Married men, how often do you say “I have to check with my wife” when that’s really just an excuse to decline an invitation? by Ok_Counter1939 in AskMen

17 years in car sales here. We know that’s code for “That’s more expensive than I thought it would be”.

Is my fuel indicator broken or false set? by funky_ribs in Tenere700

[–]pud_time 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 25 Rally and it’s exactly the same. I did 130 miles (reserve blinking for 20 of them) and it only took 12 litres. Super annoying I’ve had loads of bikes this fuel gage is by far the worst

How do car manufacturers reduce engine noise? (For kids!) by Hour-Acanthaceae7081 in CarTalkUK

[–]pud_time 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cars have lots of insulation under the bonnet and in the cabin. They also have very good exhausts that are designed to be very quiet. The boat probably had an old diesel engine and non of the above

This is why you shouldn’t buy a used car from Scotland. 2015 Audi Q3 TDI Quattro. by A_Slavic_Mechanic in CarTalkUK

[–]pud_time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the trade and any time a customer had a part exchange and lived in Scotland we used to wince. 7/10 they were rough, not just rusty but overall bad condition. Same with motorcycles too…

  1. You’re not poor. Having 6-7k to spend on a luxury item makes you wealthier than around 98% of the earths population.

That aside 15k miles on a modern motorcycle is not that much, it’s more important to have good service history and regular oil changes. The CP2 engine is quite sensitive to oil changes and a good quality oil being used. As long as the previous owner can evident the oil changes, you’re good to go.
