Bosch: Clutch-by-wire prevents stalling, boosts mpg AN-LOGO-BLUE AN-LOGO-BLUE | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

The peanut gallery likes to root for the perennial winner to lose. It’s human nature. Tom Brady has enemies. Louis Hamilton has enemies. The New York Yankees have enemies. And KTM has enemies. However, to choose any other brand as the 2019 winner would require the MXA test riders to ignore the superior brakes, bulletproof clutch, design innovations, light weight, wide powerband, adjustable suspension, sleek ergonomics and no-fuss handling. It’s no secret that it will cost you a lot of money to fix the flaws of the FC450, CRF450, YZ450F, KX450 and RM-Z450 to make them better overall bikes than the 2019 KTM 450SXF. If our friends asked us which 2019 450cc motocross bike they should buy, the KTM 450SXF would be our answer. Like it or not, the KTM 450SXF is the 2019 450 shootout winner. Full test of the 2019 KTM 450SXF.

DEIF’s upcoming CODESYS addon for the PPU 330 – which will allow users to create their own power-management systems without the need for extra programmable logic controllers – is also fully supported by the update.

You generally seem inclined towards a utopic “dogooder” mentality like in the past taking issue with people in the US being able to use the services of unlicensed mobile mechanics for affordable car repair, you’d rather see everyone in debt making payments, you know what’s good for them you claim. And again here you’re advocating for higher expenses forced upon others, but instead of the usual justification of “it’s for their own good,” you let the mask slip a bit and are saying it’s for your personal benefit of keeping your own kin safe. It’s kind of disturbing, and I’m frankly rather glad that we live in different countries.

The receipt also shows complaints about the Jeep occasionally grinding into reverse. This is fairly standard on AX-15 manual transmissions. Two years later, in 1994, it appears that the differentials and the transfer case had their oil changed again, and the transmission got some fresh fluid, too:

I like the back up camera in my new GTI, and I have long been a fan of ABS, DSC, & seatbelts. Airbags are slightly net positive for women, slightly net negative for men, and only add about 5% survivability over using good belts. If they were available & legal on new cars, I would choose manually adjusted (non-inertial reel) four point belts instead of airbags. It is what I used in SCCA Pro Rally competition in the 60s and 70s and found them to be superior in every way to other restraint systems.

But bikers should know better than to hang out in blind spots. Then if they’re splitting lanes, god help them.

Regarding airbags, I wish that rather than mandating airbags, the gov’t had mandated protection standards and let the engineers figure out how to meet those. I might rather have more protective seat belt systems than airbags.

But what is also not good is when auto companies fight recalls of parts other companies are recalling.https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2018/02/07/takata-airbag-recall-general-motors/316980002/ Posted by: frank in Florida | Sep 14, 2018 11:38:13 AM

Steering is a pretty big deal. Wonder if software update is the answer or the coverup? Hard to say with GM. It took at least 2 tries to get everyone’s ignition spring done to be sure it was correct. And don’t forget they actually sent notices to people who had already been killed by it to come in and get it fixed. Not that either should happen but ill take a seatbelt that might spark a little in an accident over intermittent steering. Posted by: Clint

11. Triumph pulled out all the stops when it comes to braking on the Scrambler 1200 XE. Dual Brembo M50 calipers clamp onto 320mm floating rotors and, in the case of the XE, mates with a radial Brembo MCS master cylinder that features span and ratio-adjustment allowing you to get virtually any feel from the brakes you wish. The XE has extraordinary stopping power—it is the identical setup to the Street Triple 765 RS. In the rear, a dual-piston caliper works with a 255mm disc and is easily modulated. Additionally, the XE model has an adjustable rear brake lever.

A lot of people have raced a slow bike to a better finish than they achieved on a fast bike. It’s not how much power you make but how you make the power that really matters; however, horsepower is what makes the wheels go around. It’s not the end-all, be-all, but it helps the end result.
