So Mr & Mrs Bossies are now bikeless for the next couple of years. We have managed to accumulate various bike related clothing and stuff which we will advertise on this thread which we will update every so often. Still to come: -busy working through the boxes in the garage....decided to keep a...

To the guy on a KTM (possibly 640, sorry I haven't bothered to get to know these bikes) with the WP registration in East London: - Yesterday 16/6/11 - I was travelling from Beacon Bay to Gonubie and had just passed the roundabout in front of Outdoor Warehouse where the double lane reduces to...

Just testing the waters. Anybody interested. In a box at home in PE so can't immediately tell you which model think it is the Active 7 Smart. I got it in 2004 and me and the missus used it on 4 big trips around Europe as pillion setup. Then she got her own bike and we preferred the "singing to...

My fork, it's leaking!!! Anyone off-hand have scribbled down on a scrap of paper the size of the fork seals for a R80GS. Mine is a 93 but assuem thet are all the same. When it comes to fork seals I don't insist on original as they all are pretty much as good as each other under normal...

Looking for side stand for DR650SE. This one is a 2008 model but I assume they would all be the same for at least the last 5 years (Le Cap?)

I think I know the laws etc about when you are allowed to filter (lane split) but what about the situation where you are on the N2 and there is a 2km long queue on the motorway hard shoulder all the way up the off-ramp and to the robots at the road where you need to turn right and under the...

Next time I go across to PE, most prob in October, I would really like ot bring my and my wifes bikes back with us to East London. Any ideas where I can borrow / rent at favourable rate, a 2 bike trailer. Will take it over a long weekend. Thanks Charlie

I took the bike for a good ride to warm the oil then I let it stand for 20min to settle. then I opened the filler and sump plug and drained the drive shaft and nice black stuff pours out and a big blob of gunk still stuck to the sump plug. I left the sump unplugged for a while to ensure all was...

Please have a go at educating me on this issue: What is the theory etc about fitting a none original silencer to a bike. Whay would you do it? Some do it to make the bike sound more noisey. Some do it for more power. Can you fit any exhaust to any bike so long as it fits or must it be designed...

Me and my battery woes. Wanted to go for ride on Saturday. Pushed the starter and the bike took but then stalled. Pushed again and just click click from the solenoid. Checked and found battery at 13.3V. Charged it overnight and it stuck at 13.7V. Still only the click of the solenoid but wont...

https://www.andystrapz.com/index.php I have the Andy Sacks Expedition Pannierz made from very strong canvas which is waterproof (proven). https://www.andystrapz.com/productdetails.php?pid=34&BACK=51 Brilliant range of kit. They distribute out of Australia but am sure they would be...

Following on a request from another old post of mine here is some info on how I lowered Mrs Bossies DR650SE. 1. Fitted 20mm bar raisers and pushed the forks through the yokes. Le Cap has a more permanent and correct way of removing spacers in the forks so that you don't need to adjust the...

R80GS - 1992 model. Want to adjust the valves as they are starting to get too noisy and ping. Specially on the right cylinder. Thing is I have never adjusted valves on a R80GS. I have the manual which says to find TDC = indicated with "steepie" under a "0". Sounds easy enough. Go look and...

Finally I am finished working at the Coega harbour where no bikes were allowed on site, for Health & Safety reasons, and at last after 2 years I can get back to commuting by bike. So having commuted in the UK through a few winters I accumulated two sets of wet-weathers with thermal liners that...

I have someone who wants to buy a bike. The bike wont make it through roadworthy as all the lights have been wripped off and it's dropping oil everywhere. The bike is on eNatis. Post offices said it must first be roadworthied before it can be sold on. Buyer is happy to take on the...

So today I noticed that the mounting bolts of the end pipe were rusted so took a allen key to them and they just started spinning. Ended up taking the whole end pipe off and when I turned it upside down the entire contents poured out into a little heap of rust on the floor. Closer examination of...

Looking for a oil cooler for the R100GS to fit to my R80GS (!992). If not the whole assembly then at least the oil filter head with the two hose connection points - I will get hold of hoses and a larger radiator off another bike if needed.
