He quoted me R500 for a 70k service( I have a K&N air filter) , local BMW dealer R1800 !!

I have used my Quest for years on this computer. Now it tells me I have to add it as new hardware ?? Do I have to go through the whole installation procedure ?. If so with what discs ? Suggestions much appreciated...

Had mine for years , no problems.

Sorry to interrupt your ongoing conversation but I have question of a different nature. I find if I don't ride for a few weeks my battery goes flat (ie not enough juice to turn the starter ,everything else lights up) and I have to charge it overnight with my Optimate. My hypothetical question is...

I have had Dainese offroad boots for 40 000km and have been very impressed. 100% waterproof with good shin protection which has saved me from a fracture at least once. On impact the leather on the inside (!!) of the boot split but the hard ridges outside held firm , as did my tibia. They look...

When I had a Dak I replaced the front springs with Wilbers' and it made a massive difference in handling , especially no more nosediving on breaking hard.

My Pig has 67000kms and as far as I am aware the starter has never been touched. Would a "service" be recommended or rather leave well enough alone ? What does a service involve ??

Boots size 8 .

Jacket , pants and boots wanted for my 12 year old son (Copilot and navigator). Happy to take any D/S stuff in reasonable condition. They grow so fast !!

My Richa Magmas have lasted 40 000km. The cloth patches sewn over the leather  are fraying off but otherwise they're still fine.

Looking for a jacket,pants and boots (size 8 ) for my 12 year old son (Pillion and navigator !) I'm in Joburg East.

My Optimate was the best R500 ever spent !

I have used a BMW system 4 flipup for years and I love it. Actually prefer it to my Arai tourx when it comes to comfort, wind noise and convenience. On long trips I always ride with  both clear & tinted visors which you can switch in a minute.

Thanks for the tip Mark.
