Great thanks!

Hi everyone. My Sena SMH5FM does not seem to like pairing with the Nav VI and TFT screen. I have tried the pairing instructions on another thread but I think SMH5 is just too old, so I am in the market for new headset and was wondering which headsets you use that work with the Nav VI and TFT Thanks

Great thanks. Will give it a try.

Thanks katana. Just to clarify your statement, is Syntrax (a castrol product) the equivalent to SAF-XO (also castrol product) or equivalent to the Liqui-moly mentioned in the post before yours? Thanks

What oil do you guys use in the final drive and gearbox for 06 1200GS? Manual calls for Castrol SAF-X0 but as far as i could tell it has been discontinued. Would Castrol Syntrax long life 75W-90 API Gl5 be good enough? Specs seem to be the same as SAF-XO? What do you use?

I have both front and rear. Only done 4000km on them so far. I previously rode TKC80 and best I got on a rear tyre was 7,000km at about 70% tar. So far it seems the E07 will give me much more milage on rear than TKC 80. The only thing i still don't like anout E07 front tyre is the bloody...

Thanks for the advice. Am following your thread (saw your wipe) and waiting in anticipation for the rest!! Less dope and more RR 😜😜😜

Fark, glad you are oke. Keep it coming

Thanks for sharing. We have some rain forecasted for the weekend so maybe good opportunity to get this done.

I would say go for it. You are going to make such good memories and I can guarantee you that this trip will be the first of many. My dad, on 1200gs is the same age and at 63 there is still a lot of life and energy left to become a pro rider. There is always going to be risk, even if he drives...

Awesome. Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Lospers. I have read some of your other Lesotho related suggestions in other threads and you seem quite knowledgable on lesotho. You from there? How technical (given good weather conditions) is the road from Thaba-tseka to Sehlabathebe and then from there to Qacha? Wife will be...

Ha ha, i get you. Thanks.

Sorry, i meant St James, got that wrong somehow 😃 Thanks for the great feedback IDR. Day 3 also looks a bit much, especially with the wife that needs to negotiate all the obstacles. Will see if we cant maybe spend the night at the reserve on just on the border (cant recall name now) Would you...

Thanks guys. Yip the hrs vs km thing is definitely true, i just put the km there as that is the only ref i have so far. Google maps seems like a good suggestion. How accurate would you say is google maps traveling time? Would it be a conservative estimate to use (weather permitting i guess)
