I am selling a brand new bash plate. I bought it new and before I could fit is my bike was stolen end of last year. Up for grabs for R2000. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Ok, I havent been active on the site for some time as Ive been in Africa. However, I am back in trusty SA and modifying the old lady again. So I added some flush mounted indicators after clipping the font indicator in traffic this weekend. This is when I noticed that the new ones (12V, 6W)...

Most likely someone has spoken about this in other topics etc, but i feel this is so important that it warrants another look. An emergency stop can so easily become a panic response and end in tears with one or both wheels locking up and you either hitting the floor or the obstacle you were...

I found this arricle on a random website and thought to share. This is some good advice  :thumleft:: "Close your eyes and recall your last ride in heavy traffic. Imagine the vehicles surrounding you, crowding you, cutting you off. Imagine yourself monitoring closing speeds, reading street...

Lying on my back next to the downed DL1000 in the city of Capetown, South Africa, all I could think of was the scene from Black Hawk Down, where the first helicopter plunges to earth and the locals begin to converge. I'd not seen the diesel fuel on the road, but I did notice the African citizens...

I am off to Sierra Leone in a weeks time and only returning end of February leaving the bike to stand. The question is do you think it is bad for the tyres to stand for so long on one spot? I thought to put it on the side stand then placing a splint under the front fork to lift both wheels of...

We have a lady biker with a little scooter who is in urgent need for roadside assistance. She is currently on William Nicol at the road construction site area from Diepsloot on the corner with Dainfern. If any one can help please contact her on 0768212690 her name is Jeani

So i took my DL for a service at Suzuki Toy store in Centurion and the service was great! Really friendly people and the bike is now running great! This is then a thank you to them for a job well done! :3some: :thumleft:

A lady friend of mine drives a Ninja 650N and has decided her exhaust is too quiet and is now looking for an aftermarket system. Who can advise on what system to install, where to go and what this would set her back in the JHB area?

Im investigating upgrading the exhaust to make it a) sound better, b) better fuel consumption and c) sound better. What system to go for and what can one expect to pay for such a system? Oh, did i mention that I want it to sound better?  :ricky:

So with some of my work I have to travel a lot in Africa which sometimes means that I am away from home for sometimes up to 3 months. During these times I simply disconnect the battery on my bike and charge it up on my return. Do any of you have a better fix for this problem? I am aware that...

It is noticed that the Stromers are really quiet lately. Is this just because nobody has any problems with their STroms?  :pot:

So I fitted the centrestand on the DL the weekend and took a few pictures to show how it is done.... according to the manual it should only be done by a qualified technitian, but I promise you it is really simple. It has four bolts, a grommet, a spacer and bolt to prevent it from hitting the...

I had a weird experience the weekend. Washed the bike on saturday and then went for a ride. About 30km further the speedo stopped working. I stopped, switched off the bike, restarted, the dials went up and down as normal but the speedo did not count or show the speed when I resumed the trip...

So who can assist with bike licencing and registration. The problem is that I am working mon to fri and just never get the time to take the papers to the office... lol Also I sold my Virago to my brother in law and now the papers are missing. The thing is still registred on my name and i...

mmmm so today i noticed a new symptom on my STROM - she died several times on me as i slow down to a robot or a stop and it seems to have a flat spot at about 2500rpm which is about the same revs she cuts out at as you de-accellerate.... Any ideas? Maybe she just needs a service.... :spitcoffee:

I went to the Zeerust Bosremoer this weekend on the DL and encountered thick sand. This is when I remembered that I hate sand and is truly uncomfortable in these type of conditions. I am planning to attend the rider training with ADASA, but until then I will try and avoid this as far as...

It would be interesting to get opinions on the ideal tyre pressures used by the WD members... According to the specifications the DL 1000 the following: Front: 0.17 PSI, with pillion: 0.17 PSI withpilion Rear: 0.17 PSI, with pillion: 0.19 PSI withpilion

OK so now that i am slowly setting up the bike to do some more regular gravel road riding and possibly getting myself some additional off/dual road training the next question is tyres. It is time for a tyre change and it would be appreciated to have input on the make/model tyres recommended as...

I have a DL 1000 V-Strom and would like to fit a centre stand to it. I found the SW-Motech stands on the site: https://www.iwarehouse.co.za/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tp-ecommerce.tpl&category_id=1390&product_id=7163&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 Does any one have...
