Good Postings and Explanation, ZeeOSix! (y)

If digital natives try to solve a Mechnical Problem "And if you simply try a restart?"

That´s wrong. The Problem is, you get "pushed" to use a Smartphone. As Example: Train ticktes are only sold as "App" in the future here in Germany. You nedd to pay a Parking ticket for your car in a city? Only App. Please install it and pay with your smartphone. A new Hotel in a Ski ressort...

Then, in contrast, every IT Guy or Gamer must be able to remove, dissasemble, reassemble and reinstall Motorcycle Carbs succesfull? Because it only took -ME- (!) me a few hours and it´s only some Bolts. Easy! Left lose, right thigt or how´s the saying...

Mostly retired seniors just look at the price tag. Most dont get the difference between apple and android. And regarding android smartphones, it´s wild west. Some are considerd easy to use, some ar a pain in the rear. And, even if older people figure out the gear icon, after pressing the...

Lately when i was wrenching on my Motorcycle here in Germany, i listend to the radio. There was a guest in the Show, a Volunteer, wich helps senior Citizens to get used to smartphones in his free time. He explain the smartphone to them so they finally can use basic functions. In the show, he...

Looks like a HUGE contrast in expirience. I mean, A HUGE ONE. European car oils maybe differ. What i wrote about the JASO MA standard was written here in numerous Motorcycle magazines and by oil manufactrueres itself. No Internet fourm "Expert" BLA BLA. Is it true? I think so. I only use...

Jaso MA was introduced somewhere in the 80s because the then new "Energy conserving" car oils starts to become to slippery for wet clutches and casue problems. JASO MA was the answer for this Problem. So, motorcycle and wet clutch: JASO MA is the correct choice..

Living near Munich, i could assure you that most germans can make a difference between US politics and US Politicans- wich they maybe dont agree - and the Mr. and Mrs. Smith, tourist from the USA, wich usually are really welcome. Two things: If someone of you run in a german wich gives you a...

Thank you all Gentleman! Great Forum, as allways.

If you own a classic car, where spare parts becomes scare, how do you store new spare parts like rubber Parts fo the brakes (e.g. Master cylinder piston assembly etc.) for a long time, for the day wich you need them for a overhaul job? Leave them as they are in the pakacing from the...

S 100 Dry lube chain spray.

I once used a dedicated cheap Motorcycle oil form a german Motorcyle chain store, their own brand. Most like made by FUCHS, but cheap. Dumped it after two weeks, the gearbox was almost un-shiftable. Really. You almost need to kick on the shifter to change gears. So far, Motul motorcycle oil...

It´s remarkable when you think about it: If you hava a car with a very sporty gasoline engine (High RPM, High Piston speed) and think about to use a motorcycle oil in this engine because of the Better VI Improvers, better base oil quality, Additive pack matching the needs of a high reving...

If Diesel oil is great for Motorcycles.... ...why not use car engine oil in a differential? ...why not fill ATF in the car engine? ....why not fill 2 stroke oil in a manual transmission? Comparing apples with oranges and a little bit sarcastic, i know, but i allways use oil wich is designed...

@ meep: Thanks. Yes, Cameras are patholigal lying. The so called "Cameras" in Smartphones make thing worse. But i could assure you that the pictures are very accurate. There are no plastic lenses on the headlight of a VW golf MK III from 1995, it´s real Glas. Real old fashioned Halogen head...

@ TacoFergie: After some weeks of usage, mostly at night, no other car driver -Not a single one!- has flashed me when i using low lights. I would think it´s safe to conclude that these LEDs dont glare others. You call it "Glare", i think this a misundestanding on your side. In my Opnion, it...

@ Carmudgeon: Huh? What are you talking about? :unsure: My Winter beater car is a old VW Golf MK III from 1995 with simple H4 headlights. I just installed the newest generation of Philips LED in this car, as they where the only one with the neccesary approval papers for this car and the...

I am maybe missing something, and i dont have a lot of knowledge, but it´s not possible to use HID instead of Halogen. :unsure: Osram has some "Vintage Look" H4 LEDs with 3000 K and that´s it...

You could try to buy them at Amazon Germany wich is Amazon.de , or compare them with Sylvania. You could find the Order Nr. in the link i posted. Cost here is about 150 Euros for a set of two. Life expacantcy (German: Lebensdauer) according to the link i posted: 1500 hr B3 rated, 3000 Hr Tc...
