"you wheeling all the time?" My 950 didn't come with the auto wheelie option so I'm making a plan.

Thanks everyone. Got what i needed to be sorted myself ( a miracle) but will keep these names for future reference.

Hi Guys. In anticipation of the Rallye Raid, the old 950 is begging me for new sprockets and a chain. I'm in Fourways, any shop recommendations ? 16 front, 47 rear and probably a DID 525 O ring or similar.

I'm looking for a good 950/990 ADV mechanic located in northern JHB. Not looking for the cheapest just the best. Normally do all my own work but sometimes just don't have time or the skill set for that particular job. Anyone had personal experience with anyone that did a great job ?

OEM (still in wrappers) 2006 - 2008 Yamaha YZ 250F radiator shrouds x 2 and rear fender for sale or swop. R400 for all. Or swop for a KTM 950/990 lower chain guide/shark fin type thingy.

CAPITAL RADIO BROADCASTING ON AM 702 ? Used to enjoy listening to all the old rock anthems on this station as an alternative to all the rest of the BS. Think it was broadcast from Maputo. Now it seems that it has disappeared. Anyone know if it's still around ?

ditto vapour lock

ooooh. So that's what all those stats are next to my name are. Actually joined in 2005 I think ? Year I got my bike. Has WD been round that long ?

Chopperpilot. Well spotted. I have been member on this site for (maybe) +- 18 years ? and no one ( including myself ) has spotted the misspelling = despite being a copywriter. Not the originally intended "hard on the throttle" impression I wished to covey but Wheelspiner I will remain.

back to black !! Currently run set of TKC 80's back and front which I want to take off now and put back on for proper dirt trips. Not too happy with their tar performances (and I'm such a kak tar rider that I need all the help I can get). Looking at prices online that set Scorpion MT90 for...

Been out of riding a while now. What's the best best on a set of front and rears for a 950/990. Was quoted +- R4500 for a set of MT 90's which I just will not pay. Any alternative recommendations on types and suppliers for similar tyres to MT90's ? Probably 70% road, 30% dirt. In JHB/Pretoria

Thanks iamgiggles. I'm going to go that route. Got the RAM mounts from my old Garmin 76CS.

iamgiggls. What sort of mods did you do ? I see there is one on 4x4 Direct for R795. 10506-ram-quick-grip-universal-phone-holder.html Is this in the ball park ?

Thank you. Like this ?
