Dankie vir die gesels!

@TheBear bel my gerus direk by zero82825179zero dan gesels ons een-tot-een, of stuur my jou nommer. Groete

@TheBear en @macjohnw - vir die rekord, swak styl van beide! @Fenderbender is van die min regte "bikers" op die forum en in julle keuse van reaksie kom julle oningeligtheid sterk na vore. Google bietjie foto's van waar hy wheelie en wys bietjie meer respek.. Of is julle as dose gemaak en...

Ek verstaan nie. Is F'qol net so veel soos fokkol?

May I add that a good service with fresh oil ect makes a huge difference? When last was your bikes suspension service? I had mine done recently at MP in Capetown, and apart from other work, he found one orifice or valve thingy clocked up. His explanation was that pressure would have built up at...

So....for a carburetor engine , no issue if you use the kill switch. The switch just dump the electrics to the chassis = ground On a fuel injected bike, there is literally a "buzz" of comms running to and from sensors, servo motors, checking safety circuits, etc. Basically thousands of pulse per...

mmm. ek sal dit gaan vergelyk met bike by RAD, maar die foto laat dit erger lyk vermoed ek. Bike staan mooi regop, soos ek daarvan hou... Dankie en groete

Ek het hom so gekry...Is hy veronderstel om reguit te wees?

Hi Piet, My side stand is nou about 80 mm longer (at the bottom) and the existing spring is not strong enough to keep it up when "enjoying the bike"---small jumps etc. Did you use a stronger spring? @Kamanya i will take it thanks. Watsapp send

So...what did you do with the side stand spring after making the side stand longer?.... Did you move the connector on the side stand and replaced with a longer and stronger spring? IS the side stand for the S and R models longer at the spring section or longer at the bottom end of the stand?

I bought one last week from KTM in Cape Town for R465-00. According to RAD in Paarl, it is discontinued, but the Cape Town guys had stock...

...or phone Michael Peatzold in Cape Town. He is the suspensions specialist and also Ohlin agent

Praat met @Fenderbender . Hy het al 'n paar fenders mooi gemaak

Eerste trippie gehad met die "langer suspensie die naweek. Hoogte is nou perfek (Ek dink so 250mm?!) Steeds gemaklik met my voete op die grond. Daar deur Anysberg 'n paar keer al sy voete in die lug gehad en hy land met geen issues. MPeatzoldt is 'n "genius". Oop pad oor gate, klippe, sinkplaat...

I owned a GS many years ago, since then on 2 HP2's (also Boxer engine) and now also a 990. This is a very old debate, so I think I am in a position to give an alternative view. Just park for a minute the discussion what bike is best, and look into the designers "intent", or "Brief". Maybe it...
