Yip, sold last year.

Good condition R 32 000 (onco) The bike has +/- 55 000 km on the clock, 95% was driven on tar roads and commuting between PTA and JHB. The bike does not use oil and on an average will give you between 18 – 22 km/l. Very clean bike and well looked after. It has been upgraded with the following...

Had the same thing happen to me, I bought a Vapor Speedo kit to replace the OEM, works like a charm. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=98523.msg1925975#msg1925975

Awesome build...............nice to see the old bikes getting a new lease on life...

That is what my 2008 KLR done. The quote for the new hub and lacing the wheel was +/- R4000 - bought a Vapor and have never looked back.

Will take a photo this week (weather permitting) and add it for reference. I did not remove the Speedo, just mounted the Vapour to the cross bar on the handle bars.

Welcome to KLR clan..............I have a 2008 Model, awesome bike!! Would not trade it for the world. You get use to the vibrations, they are normally worst above 120 km/h. With regards to your speedo, 5000 RPM should be in the 120 km/h range. Bought myself a Vapour computer when my speedo hub...

The Vapor Computer was R 1200 and the Dashboard was R 495

Groenie - who is the local agent for VAPOUR? I have been on their web site and there is one there for +/- $130, but then there is shipping still to be added. If they are available locally, much better option.

Went to Kawasaki this morning to check for spares, after taking the wheel off last night to check. Found the hub to be the problem, totally stripped around where the two tabs are meant to go in.....the speedo unit is still fine, the root of the problem seems to be the spring that is contained in...

Will possibly be after 13:00, am playing golf in the morning. Still need to remove the wheel to check the speedo drive.

Groenie, thanks, will take the wheel off and see whats happening. Possibly see you over the weekend.

Hi all, Riding to work yesterday, heard a strange sound like the tire rubbing against the swingarm. Got to work, done a visual inspection of all parts that could rub on both wheels, found the speedo cable guard on the front wheel could have been the culprit and moved it out the way. Rode home...

Great RR.......still laughing, can't stop..........
