Tips und hints

    Clever Max driver use the decompression      

Each NSU-MAX, which corresponds to the series has a decompression on the left handlebar, which actuates the valve lifter in the cylinder head cover.
This presses from above onto the exhaust valve and no longer closes. This means that no compression can be set up and the engine can be cranked easily .
But if you look on NSU-meetings around, then one noticed that almost half of all Mäxe have no functional decompression more. And even with the Mäxes who have one, they are rarely used by the driver at startup.

Why this?

Do you want to prove that you are a strong man to start the MAX without the exhaust-valve-lifter lever ?Ponder prefer even know what you do with it: The whole Kickstarter mechanism (and when the MAX on the centre-stand standing, including the centre-stand) might be substantially affected by the hard blow to the compression. Why are almost all used MAX Kickstarter and Kick Shaft bent and damaged?  Precisely because so many people do not use the exhaust-valve-lifter-lever, but exercise brute force pointless.

And then afterwards coming these requests: Have you not yet unbent Kickstarter with good teeth?

Hence my appeal:

Clever Max driver use the decompression at startup. This is not unmanly and protects the material immensely.

But if everything is already too late and already is shaking the Kickstarter on its shaft, then maybe help the Tip Nr. 1.
