Hi I have a 2007 GSA with 80 000km now. Need to service and have it booked at the dealer for Tuesday 7 Feb. I got a quote from another dealer for the 80 000 service when they did some accident repairs few weeks ago and they came in at R21 000!!!!!! They want to replace discs, disc pads a part...

Then that will be it - no more poop scoop! will try and fix it for the day I sell it.

HI I did a Memel passes and then on to Lesotho roundtrip the long weekend (snow on Sani prevented me from going up there with a pillion and full luggage :-[) but my GS adventure's rear mudguard broke off the second time. The first time was last year somewhere and only the top bolt snapped off...

Check out 4x4 direct website under motorcycle lights. They have a set called badger. A friend in PE bought it and tells me they can start a fire in dry grass if you are not careful☺he is very happy with the result and great value for money. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Short period because they make such a shit load of money from service and parts after the 2 years. Last week the headlight bulb on my 1200 GS blew. BMW wants R340. Went to midas and got exact part at R41. It uses the same bulb as 3 series car. How do they justify this? Sent from my SM-G925F...

if anyone has same problem in future, Cytech sorted the wheel out in no time.

I just got the new look trax topbox in December on my 1200 gs. liked the look, the accessories available, the two little handles now integrated on the lid, the general feel and look of quality and the seamless smooth rivetless exterior. the lid closes with a solid thump and the rain and dust of...

Thanks all so far. BMW Clearwater mentioned a name and then I phoned Cytech. Their website mention that they are one of the very few in country doing this for adventure bikes, so I suspect this is where most of the rims go! They only open on 13 January so I hope to get sorted with them...

Thanks! Had a look and gave me some nice info.

Only me. Dad will be in Pajero as backup. Wife will pillion most of the way and if her bum gets sore she will get into Pajero. Also where the roads gets sandy (GS = geen sand ;D) she will get in the car.

HI Anyone gone to Malawi and back (from Gauteng) lately? I am planning a trip around mid year (maybe August) in our normal 4x4 annual trip time but decided to go on the bike (1200GS Adv) this year to Malawi. My dad will be in his Pajero with a bushtrailer in tow. I had a look at different...

Hi My BMW 1200 GS adv has a slight wobble in the front rim. BMW said there is nothing wrong with it but I can feel and see it while riding. The front tyre now is developing a pattern around it and it is getting worse. It is a slight up and down movement of probably no more than 2 or 3 mm. I see...

Hi Beplan selfde trip middle Desember. Vrou en kinders in platkar en ek met die GS. Wat is jou datums?

Hi I had a short run to a friend of mine this weekend who bought a house in Lindley in the Free Sate as a getaway from city life over weekends. We had lunch in the Lindley hotel on Saturday. The hotel was recently bought by a lady named Sandra and they are busy upgrading and renovating it. The...
