Greetings Dogs Long time no post... 1e3 apologies My sexy red 2005 baby is approaching 60k km:) But now is giving me minor issues, first the symptoms and then I'll present my laymans guess as to whats wrong: Blew the OEM flasher unit (was using LED indicators with resistor packs (sorry Le Cap)...

Greetings Forum! So my beautiful sleek sexy red ride, hereafter referred to as Spoon-Lass) recently just ticked past 40 thousand km. In celebration I ramped over a curb enroute to the petrol station and then could not convince her to start. The symptoms seem very similar to those Steyn...

Howdy dogs So I'm thinking of making or taking a standard KLR end can and mounting it on the left of the bike in symmetric harmony with the normal one. I'll use it as a toolbox, and maybe even be able to squeeze a little compressor in there aswell. I reckon it will look legen - wait for it...

  :pot: :imaposer:  :pot: Glacier and I were speaking about his slow sell at gym the other day and some of the wanted ads people put up. Eg:  Wanted: really awesome bike for very little cash, with no catches or funny business (except perhaps winning lotto tickets stapled to RWC papers) If you...

So I have long wished for comfy earphones, that double as ear plugs to block (not drown!) out the wind roar. Don't mind shelling out a couple hundred rand for a decent pair, but don't want to do it repeatedly trying to find the right pair. Any suggests, oh knowledgeable forum?

So my my father and I did some bonding over the weekend (not the adhesive type) I've been wanting a bracket to keep my super-cool Kappa soft panniers from bonding (the adhesive type) to my exhaust! Yet I dont want some big (to my eye) unsightly bracket joining my passenger footpeg and luggage...

So its expo time again, and sadly it is again at the Dome. Will there be a Wilddog stand? I'ld like to see some of that fine paraphernalia up close and personal like before i spend my depreciating Rands on it. Any other Dawgs going on sunday morning?

Has anyone tried these things? They rock! Its not often that something scores highly in geek, coolness and therapeutic circles! I strained my wrists in the last wild pups Lesotho ride over new year, Im thinking its from saving falls with the bike at > 25deg of lean or so. I pulled the...

Very occasionally I satisfy my urges to work on my sexy red steed. It would be a lot easier if the bike was vertical and elevated with both wheels simultaneously off the floor. Can I put the KLR on an MX type stand? I might have to remove the crappy stock plastic bashplate first, but will the...

Ok so after 13000km my Kenda 761 rear was no longer useable. After much forum browsing, web searching and wallet consulting I chose to fit a Dunlop Trailmax. SInce I dont get to ride offroad as much as I would like :( Anyway the unspecified vendor fitted the tyre for me, reusing my tube (which...

Bright and early at 07h00 on a blustery 29 Dec 2007 Logie and I met at the corner of Nelmapius Rd and the R50. Already 24 hrs late thanks to the ripple effect of Nationwideâ??s escapades, our goal was to go up Sani pass, consume a few beverages there, and usher in the New Year at Katse Dam...

In August Glacier and I bravely attempted to be the first people to ride across Lesotho on motorized two wheeled transportation. Or at least the first people on the wilddog forum with the nics Spoonless and Glacier. Anyway circumstances, fate, poor newbie riding styles and the alignment of the...

I bought my self a sweet looking matt black Airoh S4, this past weekend. I also bought myself a sweet looking glow in the dark wild dog paw print sticker (thanks adventurer) I would like to combine these two items. However my manual for the helmet says one should not place stickers on it. So...

Ok so whilst performing my Dooheckectomy under the expert guidance of Groenie (many many thanks) I noticed my crashbar was loose. I had had to remove the left crashbar to remove the left outer cover. I blamed this on poor servicing  by the nameless faceless bike servicers that I use. Anyway, so...

Ok, so whoever last put DOT4 in my KLR's front reservoir is an asshole. This could very well be some mmechanic at Centurion Lifestyle since they serviced my bike on 8 Aug just before my Lesotho trip. The (rider's) right hand screw is so friggin tight that the head is just stripping when i try...

A.k.a. Initiation by Earth, Air and Ice. It was a non-dark, and unstormy night. Much preparation lay ahead of Bruce and I. Firstly, we had to raise Bruceâ??s KLRâ??s suspension which the previous owner had inexplicably had lowered. A completely safe and foolproof method to do this was devised...
