Ha, ha, the thing about the Zongshen is that it actually works very well in the veld if you are not to wild. It is cheap to maintain and you can mess around all you want. If you do drop it you buy parts with small change! You can unfortunately only buy one once you have another Japanese or...

I was also told lube for offroad and wax for onroad. The wax works well for onroad. I have not had wax on for a while since i travel more km's off road nowadays I was told that with the chain lube it slings off with the dirt. You just regularly have to reapply. So I carry a small travel can...

Yeah. Try to miss the sharp stones and branches!

The connections seems OK. I will have to remover the tank to make sure though.

It is the ones between the Stator and Regulator.

The wiring on my KLE is getting very hot. Mainly from the stator to the regulator and also the fusebox (Melting fuses - not the metal, but the plastic!) A while ago this happened and I replaced the rectifier and it was solved - Now this is what I got form several "qualified people" 1. It is...

I found that my KLE drinks petrol if you ride hard and fast. I would get about 180km on a tank with hooligan riding. But if I go with my friends who ride like decent people I can get about 220km on a tank!

I fitted a Protaper handlebar. The one that is a bit raised sells for about R800, but it solves the problem. Risers simply does not work since it does not lift, but rather brings the handlebars back. In fact the raised handlebar is SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

I am looking for a regulator/rectifier!

I think my regulator is frying my wires. It happened a few years ago. I went to Kawasaki who said that they did not have one, but will order from Japan - which is a load of bull, because the KLE takes the same as a range of the older Kawasaki's. Anyway I got one of a Z400 and it worked. Now I...

Solo riding is the best, but I don't do it in deserted places, off road, at night and there must be someone waiting for you to arrive. I came off my bike downhill over the side of the road - if i was alone, I would have died there. If you go to The Karoo Saloon, there is a pic above the bar of a...

You got my vote too!

Dis einste! Ek sal eers my geld tel en dan laat weet - daai is die regte goed!!!

Thanks everyone Tim is going to do it!!

No, its the shaft inside that broke.
