Orange for me thanks!

Thanks for all the advice! Seems like the clutch slave cylinder and water pump seals that are the most common “issues”. I’ve actually replaced a slave cylinder on a friend’s 990 before with help of my knowledge Guru named Google. Wasn’t too difficult. I haven’t bought a new bike in 15 years so...

Great, will contact you when I’ve got my ducks in a row. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shit, I’d love to buy a bike now but will only be buying in a few months time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It seems I cant go wrong with either the 950 or 990. I’ll just have to find the best example within my budget. I was just thinking that maybe the 950 was something to “stay away” from but obviously they are good bikes and its a bit of a personal preference whether you want to go carbs or FI...

Waaaaaay back I used to ride supabikes and owned a Suzuki TL1000 and Aprilia Mille so I love twins. I’ve only ridden a friend’s 990 a few times some years ago and compared to the Dakar its like comparing a psychopathic pornstar to a soccer mom. Sure, the one might have some “issues”, heavy on...

I know but I first have to give the Dakar a make-over and flog it [emoji85]. So it seems there is no reason NOT to buy a 950 then. Apparently water pump or fuel pump or some oil breather story was a concern on certain LC8’s. Whether it’s going to be a 950 or 990 that I buy, what would be the...

I’m seriously thinking of selling my 650 Dakar to buy a real bike. I’ve done some research and apparently the last 950’s (‘05/‘06) were great with most “issues” sorted and again the post ‘09 990’s are better than the first few years ‘06-08 when it comes to throttle “jerkiness” and other small...

Hi Len, only saw your reply now. Do you perhaps have a rev counter for a 990? The bike is for sale but needs a rev counter - long story about how it got lost. Please send me your contact details. If someone else knows about a crashed 990 or someone selling 990 parts, please let me know. Eswee...

I hope for your sake you find those covers or maybe have them made because a new rev counter is MOER expensive!! R4500...

Still looking for a KTM 990 rev counter. I think the 950 had the same rev counter but not sure. Anyone that maybe knows of a crashed 950/990? Looks like this:

Hey dogs! Looking for a rev counter and lefthand side plastic side cover/panel in black/charcoal. Any idea where I might find these spares? Already tried Bike Hospital, Perrys and Bike Salvage. Any other shops that might have KTM spares? I'm in Pretoria but willing to courier parts.

I know this is not totally adventure riding stuff but many of us pretend to be young and have little plastics that we play with or maybe you just want some of this stuff because it's cool to have. Actually selling this on behalf of a friend that has given up on life and has excepted the fact...

Jughead - please give me your number if possible.

Any idea what the cost will be for a braided hose? And what the cost might be to take the hose to a hydrolic workshop and have it fitted with a new rubber hose?

Today the rear brakes on my 2001 Dakar (58 000km) just failed. I pressed on the brake pedal and suddenly there was nothing. When I got to the office I saw that all the brake fluid had pissed out somewhere "inside" the bike - not at the resevoir or caliper. There is a metal "connector" close to...

Yesterday morning as I pulled out the driveway my 2001 Dakkie (55 000km) suddenly "vrekked" and all was dead, even the dash was dead and there was this weird "tik,tik,tik,tik" sound coming from somewhere - I think from the battery or dash or somewhere there. The tik,tik sound quickly stopped and...

It is time to let my baby go. I bought the bike from Pro Action KTM in 2005 and it's been loved and cared for ever since. Regularly serviced and I just gave it a full service. Hand guards and Hyde bash plate. The bike is registered and papers all in order. In the beginning, before kids, I used...

The rear tyre is virtually brand new and the front tyre has still got more than enough thread on it to take you places. These came off my Dakar. 1 x Anakee 2 130/80 - 17 - R1000 1 x Anakee      90/90 - 21 - R300 Or take both for R1100. New set of Anakee 3's are about R3000. Tyres are in...
