According to my research most (if not all) aftermarket discs are made from 3CR12, even some of the best known brands. Some are heat treated others not.

Captain Obvious, lucky we have an inhouse r&d engineering department that will draw up a decent (and correct) disc profile, we are playing around with diferent designs to see which would be suited best for my application. 3CR12 is the best option, but I think it only come in a 4.5mm diam. We...

They want R2500 per disc, quite rediciously expensive if you ask me. Can find it online with free shipping for much cheaper with the same delivery date. Seems to give our laser cutters a call and have a set or two made.

Good day, So, as with many things these days not available when we need it, time has come to replace both my front and rear brake discs on my XL700V Transalp. No stock to be found anywhere, not even at the agents. ALL aftermarket suppliers don't have stock either and have no ETA on new stock...

Hi BB, my contact nr is zeroeight2 seven11 twoninenine1. Please drop me a message then we can organize to do the deal. Thanks

Hi Bikerboer, Do you still have the touring screen? I had a givi smoked touring screen and could not get a replacement after I was involved in a front end crash. Would just like to know how much taller it is then the original one? Thanks

Time for tappet adjustment on my TA, front is easy and within spec, rear is a real pain. Inlet is in spec but exh needs to be adjusted (could squeeze the feeler gauge in under the cover). Any info on removing the rear valve cover?????????? Heat shield is off, exhaust is off, everything is off...

I do not think that by increasing the engine's capacity that there would be any issues within the power range. By increasing the cylinder volume, and even the valves, more air/fuel mixture will accumulate in the combustion chamber, giving an increase in power, the bigger valves would let the...

Hi Titanic, See my other post on the BIG upgrade and Rally Raid look. There you will see what I am planning to do and what has already being done. Will keep my eyes posted if I see any KLE spares.

An oil cooler would be a good idea. The fan already takes up a lot of space on the radiator. Maybe a bigger or more efficient cooling system?

I know that the ER/GPZ engines are (where) developed for a totally different market and that the cams etc are more road / race orientated. This configuration would be useless in the KLE, where you want some low down grunt, not sure about the gearing but sure that is also not the same. But, with...

OK, As my bike are being stripped and completely overhauled (big end seizure), I did some research and found out that there are some big bore cc kits out for the KLE 500 (or the ER5, GPZ 500 etc). Engine dynamics in the USA have two kits available a 540cc and a 600cc kit, they also do upgrades...

AHHH, the footpegs are a must then, looks like it all the mid range dual bikes have soft springs?? This is also a worthwhile improvement (if not the most) for the KLE 500. Thanks for the head up regarding the fuse for the headlight  :thumleft: Any comment regarding LED bulbs for the headlight...

Good day, So, looks like I will be getting my TA over the weekend  :ricky:, so a couple of questions though regarding service spares. 1. Cost and availability of air filter?? Original and aftermarket. 2. I know there is an aftermarket oil filter for the TA available from Midas, can't remember...

Hi Steffen, Can you please send me some detail? gawievdlit (at) gmail (dot) com Thanx
