Edit above, they are TR2 engines, that's the race engine from the road going R3. pat-millers-triple-engine-yamaha.html

Wrong .... Those are Yamaha YR3 engines. Also known as R3. R3 was before the R5. Look at the cylinder head, totally different from the R5. I know, I had both. https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_yr3_69.htm

SA Border Post closed on Ongeluks, as far as I know. You just ride around it.

Was last in Lusikisiki in 86, to long ago to count, now. I normally use Hela Hela on a short cut from DBN to Himeville/Sani. If you want excitement and stunning ride, go up Ongeluksnek Pass into Lesotho.

Hela Hela, is just a dirt road, that I have never seen in a bad way, going up a hill. It is not steep and nothing to write home about and just takes a few minutes, riding at an easy pace. So, maybe plan a route to somewhere interesting as well. Richmond is not really a place to go, these days...

I have a 4 cylinder Devilbiss compressor with a 600L tank. Between the compressor head and the tank it has a one way valve, so the compressor never starts loaded. My tank is alway full and only drain water out every month or two. In Summer it should be done more, because the air in Durban is...

That Collection is in Drummond, KZN.

I asked agent, he says Flying Brick or Craigs Motorcycles. You can phone Steve 0837871205 if you don't come right.

I have a ECU from a race road KTM 1190 RC8. It has RC8-RACING MS691EU0992072 engraved into it. Keihin made in UK. Supposed to be Superbike ECU you fit, for racing, that was told to me by a friend who tried racing one.

I have got a whole kit, for KTM, there are 3 springs. Supposed to have been only used for a few rides, I have been told, they didn't like the no engine braking down hills. Make an offer.

Andrew King closed the door before lockdown. Been told he works for KTM DBN, but that was a long time ago, so don't know if he is still there.

Rufus, I agree with you. the standard forks have one spring in one fork, no adjustable compression damping and just a bit of adjustable rebound. The bike I had before was a new 2015 KTM 200. Going down step offs, got out of control. Beta has a design your own bike, where you choose what forks...

My Beta 300 X trainer is fitted with KTM forks and Fox shox, made a huge difference. The X trainer is a 10% smaller bike than the normal 300 and not a in between enduro and trials bike. I have had 7 Beta trials bikes.

On my Beta 300 X trainer, I use KTM, piston, rings, small end, g/pin, base and head gasket. Russel Campbell carries some stuff. Otherwise bring in from UK.
