Techron Fuel Line Cleaner is for sale on Amazon

Motorcycle Sale

Apologies if this story reaches you a little late – too late to avoid that stall you had on your family trip; too late to save you countless dollars because your car wasn’t getting the fuel economy it should be; too late to avoid that four figure repair/maintenance bill you received from your mechanic. But better late than never, huh? In the future, be aware that pouring a bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner once in a while can make your car’s engine run smoother and more efficient, extending its life and putting money in your pocket.

Excuse the anatomical metaphor, but Techron is like a combination colonic supplement and vitamins for your car’s fuel system. It unclogs injectors, flushes and freshens your carburetor innards, and keeps your intake valves and combustion chambers running smoothly. The results? Improved morning starting, increased engine power and gas mileage, smoother idling and cleaner emissions, to name a few.

It does this by removing and preventing the build-up of dirt and carbon deposits on these essential parts of your car (or boat or motorcycle) engine. Cleaner means a more efficient, smoother, healthier and smarter ride.

Are low gas mileage, slow starting and rough idling keeping you distracted? It’s time to flush the fuel line. (Photo: Amazon)

It’s too good to be true? More than 10,000 five-star Amazon reviews disagree.

“I’ve put it in ALL my vehicles and boats for over 30 years now,” said that engine whisperer. “Generally one treatment every six months or so, more if a lot of use… Improves acceleration, improves idle, quieter engine, etc. It may be my imagination, but I think the engines really love a ‘shot’ of that stuff!!! Seriously, next to frequent synthetic-only oil changes, this is the best thing you can add to your vehicles to keep them ‘happy’!”

This guyis all excited about Techron too: “I’ve got a 2010 Toyota Prius that’s done over 200,000 miles, I can feel the difference in ride for sure; it’s gotten a lot smoother, and even the mileage has gone up by 4-5 miles per gallon. Amazing product, easy to use.”

“I bought this to see if I would get some extra mileage out of my 2021 GMC Canyon,” bound another delighted driver. “I was getting around 18-19 MPG, but now after about two to three weeks of use I’m getting 20-21. No wonder, but for the price that’s a lot.”

Hundreds of bikers ride in honor of Bromsgrove business owner

Motorcycle Business

OVER 300 motorcyclists came together to celebrate the life of a ‘generous’ Bromsgrove business owner.

A convoy has been organized in memory of Chris Price, owner of Genesis Motorcycles, who died last month at the age of 58 following an illness.

Riders young and old met outside the motorcycle repair shop on Sanders Road on Thursday August 18 and outside Chris’ house in Catshill to escort him to his final resting place.

The convoy proceeded to the chapel at Redditch Abbey where a funeral service was held.

The Blue Knights Motorcycle Club organized the procession, keeping the riders together and blocking the roads to allow the passage of the large convoy.

Chris’ friend Nick Arkell rode the company owner’s Harley Davidson ‘Fat Boy’ behind the hearse.

As Chris’ coffin was carried into the chapel, more than 300 bikers revved up their engines in tribute.

14513269

The funeral was followed by a burial service at the Abbey Cemetery.

Chris’ wife Maggie thanked funeral directors Thomas Brothers for their “service and compassion”, funeral officiant Peter Billingham and friends for their support.

She added: “A big thank you to Nick who primarily organized the motorbike procession, and to the Blue Knights and associated chapters who helped protect everyone who gave of their time to honor Chris.

“We would also like to thank everyone who has contributed to the British Heart Foundation.

“Chris was a very passionate supporter of BHF and included a generous gift in his legacy.”

She also thanked the staff at Ward 6 at Alexandra Hospital who provided “excellent care” to Chris.

Chris’s sister Sharon described her brother as “a real gentleman, caring, kind, compassionate, generous and funny”.

She said: “I would like to thank all the bikers for coming to the funeral and making it so memorable.”

Chris Price leaves behind his wife Maggie, his mother and father, Sheila and Mick, his sister Sharon and his stepson Anthony.

Genesis Motorcycles mechanic Gary Simcock will continue the activity in honor of Chris.

Kawasaki looking to the future: The brand is committed to launching a new electric range

Motorcycle Brand

At the end of 2021, Kawasaki CEO Hiroshi Ito confirmed that 2022 would be the year the brand would enter the electric motorcycle market, and we are now just weeks away from the official launch of two machines that promise to put in place a fight against competition.

By 2021, Ito said, “In 2022, we will show at least three electric vehicles around the world. That’s a promise.” The first of them was somewhat disappointing: the Elektrode, launched on the American market, which was only a battery-powered balance bike for children. The other two seem much more interesting.

Files published on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website in the United States show that Kawasaki will have two electric motorcycles in 2023, codenamed “NX011AP” and “NR011AP”.

The designation follows Kawasaki’s usual pattern, with “X” in the second bullet point used to designate a sports bike and “R” for a naked roadster, but the initial “N” is new and stands for “Electric” in the Kawasaki naming protocol. The document, which was quickly updated to remove mention of the new models, showed they each produced 11 kW (15.2 hp), showing that they will be legal in Europe.

That means we can expect two mechanically identical bikes, along the lines of models like the Z125 and Ninja 125, but electric. The model names are not yet known, but Kawasaki had previously registered the Ninja E2 and Ninja E2-R titles.

Punjab food service manager fired for negligence in the line of duty

Motorcycle Business

Amid alleged irregularities in the process of bidding labour, trucking and transport for lifting food grains, Punjab Minister of Food and Civil Supplies, Lal Chand Kataruchak , said Saturday that his department fired an officer of the rank of deputy director for gross negligence in the line of duty.

This came days after a case was registered by the Vigilance Bureau in relation to alleged irregularities in Ludhiana District under the previous Congress government.

Deputy Director Rakesh Kumar Singla’s role is under investigation over irregularities in the bidding process, sources said.

Singla is believed to be close to former food and civil supplies minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu whose role is also under the scanner, they said.

Speaking to the media here, Minister Kataruchak said Singla was fired for willful concealment of facts and gross negligence in the performance of his official duties.

Kataruchak said Singla breached the Punjab Civil Service Rules of 1970 by concealing the fact that he acquired permanent residency in Canada in 2006.

The officer was indicted in 2017 and the charges were proven on Jan. 29, 2019, Kataruchuck said.

The whole case was reviewed by a retired judge and a ministry officer. The officer received a copy of the indictment, but he did not participate in the investigation. Thus, given the circumstances, the said officer was removed from his post today, the minister said.

Vigilance is also investigating the role of Minu Malhotra, a close associate of former minister Ashu.

When Kataruchuk was asked about Ashu’s role, he refused to say anything except that the matter is under investigation.

He said, however, that no one involved in the irregularities would be spared.

Meanwhile, Punjab Congress leader Amrinder Singh Raja Warring while responding to the allegations against Ashu called it a vendetta against the Congress leader and the former minister. Warring said Ashu only implemented the policy adopted by Cabinet.

Is it the minister’s job to check the registration number of vehicles, he asked.

On August 16, the Vigilance Bureau had filed a complaint against three individuals from a company and some officials of the State Department of Food and Civil Supplies for irregularities in the bidding process.

During the investigation, it was found that at the time of the submission of tenders for 2020-21, the vehicle lists submitted by the contractors contained registration numbers of scooters, motorcycles and cars which did not have not been checked by officials due to criminal connivance with each other.

Lagos extends Okada ban to Oshodi, Mushin and others

Motorcycle Business

By Adedapo Adesanya

The Lagos State Government has assured residents that the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT), also known as the Red Line Project, will soon be completed.

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Officer (CPS), Mr. Gboyega Akosile, said that the transport infrastructure being developed by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) will have the capacity to carry over 500,000 passengers per day when it becomes operational in the first quarter of next year.

The Lagos Red Line rail will cross on standard gauge from Agbado to Oyingbo, in the first phase, while terminating at Iddo in the second phase. It has eight stations and is expected to reduce travel by more than two hours.

Mr. Sanwo-Olu, accompanied during the tour of the project by the Deputy Governor, Mr. Obafemi Hamzat, and cabinet members, first stopped at Agege’s multi-level terminal, where he inspected installation completion work.

The Agege Red Line terminal shares the same yard with the federally built Babatunde Raji Fashola station but is approximately 300 meters apart.

The governor also inspected staff quarters built by the Lagos government for railway workers employed by the federal government.

Mr Sanwo-Olu later led the team to the iconic Red Line Ikeja station, where 80% of the civil works had been completed, where he checked on the progress of the viaduct being built. on the Awolowo Way axis to ensure non-interference of vehicle traffic on the railway crossing.

The Governor stopped at Mushin Terminal, to inspect the station and the overpass, which stretches between Kayode and Ogunmokun streets, under development, before proceeding to Yaba and Oyingbo stations.

After the exercise which lasted four hours, Mr. Sanwo-Olu said he was satisfied with the quality of the work, revealing that most of the difficult tasks had been completed.

The entire construction, the governor said, has entered the finishing phase during which precast beams and other concrete fixtures are coupled to the constructed structures.

He said: “The red line is a project conceived and initiated by our government, which will be carried out during the lifetime of this administration. We are committed to ensuring that the project is completed by the end of this year, as promised. This is our fourth inspection trip on this project in the year alone and each time we come there is significant progress the contractor is making along the rail corridor.

“Along the rail corridor, massive regeneration is taking place and we have paid a significant sum in terms of compensation, far more than anyone else, for those affected by construction activities. That is why we do not have any problems with the members of the communities in this corridor. After inspecting Agege station, we went to check out Ikeja terminal, which happens to be the iconic red line station. Its size is almost the size of three football fields together.

“As we have seen, all stations inspected are at roof level, nearing completion. The civil works are finished, it’s just the finishing work we are doing at the moment. All activities are on schedule and we hope that the best complete project will be completed by the end of the year. Some locations were particularly difficult for the contractor to drill due to the high density of vehicles. All challenges have been overcome; what remains is in situ concrete and the placement of precast beams.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said construction work on the viaducts was at various stages of completion, but assured that all work would be completed by December.

He said work on the bridge over Awolowo Way on Agege Motor Road and the inner Mongoro bus stand remained on track and would be completed by the end of October.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said the Mushin overpass, which crosses Kayode Street at Ikorodu Road to Agege Motor Road in Mushin, and the one at Yaba from Tejuosho exiting at Murtala Muhammed Road would be completed by November.

To eliminate human interference with the rail corridor, the Governor has declared that the rail passage will be isolated from residential areas. This, he said, would also prevent encroachment and unauthorized business activities around the corridor.

4 Sale / 1984 BMW R100RS / Dnepr Sidecar Rig: From Germany and Ukraine, with love

Motorcycle Sale

The other day, as I was returning from a trip to Newfoundland and missing my kids, I started thinking: how can I start taking them on my bike?

The sensible answer is to buy a sidecar. At least, that’s how I see it. My wife, a non-rider, feels differently.

But still, it seems reasonable to me, and it triggered a mental mechanic. What type of sidecar to buy? Like most people, I think the Ural is cool, but it doesn’t have a great reputation for mechanical reliability. At least not any Urals I could afford, as the newer ones are quite expensive. What could I buy along the lines of a Ural, but more likely to get home without an impromptu roadside snatch session?

There is always the Jimbo sidecars option (chinese remanufactured Chang Jiang sidecar platforms, about the same as an Ural, but with BMW air motors installed). But that’s a lot of denaro, and besides, I have nothing against Chinese motorcycles, but the Chang Jiang rig doesn’t have the WWII romance of the Urals… what to do?

Here’s what to do: head over to ADVrider’s flea market sub-forum and check out this awesome setup: a 1984 BMW R100RS mated to a Dnepr sidecar, and all for a reasonable price!

A Ukrainian sidecar with a Russian wheel, mated to a German bicycle. It sounds crazy, but it works. Photo: @pfestus1

Wait, what is a Dnieper?

Most inmates have at least some idea what a BMW R100RS is (the 1984 edition was at the end of production of this model, with an air-cooled boxer twin producing just under 70 horsepower). But a Dnepr? It’s a rare bird, and most of us have never seen one on the street.

Basically, a Dnepr is a Ukrainian version of the Urals. Reports vary; some people say that Dnepr began to build military motorcycles during the Second World War, almost identical to the Ural copy of the BMW R71 design. Other reports indicate that production began in 1946. Anyway, Dnepr built machines very similar to the Urals until the fall of the Iron Curtain. After that they became much less popular, and inmate @rtwdoug once told me that years after the Soviets abandoned Ukraine there were still Dneprs for sale at the factory at price defying all competition.

Dneprs had a similar reputation for reliability as the old-school Ural range, but if you want a rugged sidecar design, this is another option. So that’s what inmate @pfestus1 did: he took a Dnepr sidecar and mated it to a crash-damaged R100RS.

A correct construction

Here’s what the ad says:

I bought the R100RS circa 2005 after suffering a low side crash that destroyed most of the fairing. I bought it for a sidecar project. I took the bike to the Sidecar Magic Shoppe in Buckhannon WV where Gary Haynes built the custom subframe, installed the EML master link forks and mounted the sidecar. I modified the platform again adding a /5 headlight, larger front fender, lower gear final drive from an R60, Euro sidecar handlebars, /5 mufflers, Moto Lights, new Moto Meter/5 speedometer, heated grips, 400+ watt Alternator from Euro Moto Electrics. The 12v car battery is in the trunk of the sidecar. Krauser style saddle bags in good condition are included.

It looks like a well-made build! He notes some differences between the design of the Urals and that of the Dnepr, and he also incorporated parts of the Urals:

Although similar to an Ural, the Dnepr sidecar does not have a trunk door, access to the trunk is through the sidecar seat. The sidecar wheel is an Ural wheel with brake. The sidecar brake is activated by a second brake pedal next to the original rear brake pedal so you can use both the rear brake and the sidecar brake, just the bike brake or only the sidecar brake. I have a Ural windshield for the sidecar. I can ride it, or you can.

The seller says the machine handles and steers well, and will maintain 70mph, cruising happily at 55mph – 65mph. Looks like the engine and gearbox are well maintained; they are stock on the bike, and the seller says the final drive splines were lubricated and the push rod rubbers were replaced about 3,000 miles ago, and the carburetors were rebuilt by Bing. Looks like this setup is good to go!

However, since this is an airhead, you can still expect to pay some mechanical attention to the machine. It’s not a new bike anymore. According to the announcement:

The wiring in the headlight shell needs some attention. Due to an RS’s wiring harness being stuffed into a /5 headlight shell, there are a few things I haven’t figured out yet. The bike will only start in neutral, with the green neutral light on. Oil and generator lights do not work. Someone more electrical than me should be able to fix these issues with the included wiring diagram.

He drops a drop of oil on the ground after going for a walk.

There is a crack in the rear fender where the fender mounts to the subframe from when another motorcycle crashed into it.

That’s not enough to scare me away, not by a long shot, and the fact that this is a 247 series airhead, one of the best supported vintage motors in the world, makes me think any buyer will be able to keep this on the road for a long time.

If it were closer to home, I’d be seriously tempted, at the asking price of US$5,200 (the Roanoke, VA location isn’t for me, alas). While I would have to sell a bike or three to pay for it, the chance to create memories while riding with my kids would be invaluable.
