Looking for used and worn-out bike brake disks for rustic light fixtures  that I make. Not fussy about what type but the big, thin ones from dirtbikes are first choice. Even references to where I could get them would be much appreciated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My XR400 makes this tapping/knocking from around the top end. I do not think it has always done it but can't remember when it started, and sure its getting louder. Once the bike is completely warmed up it goes away and some days the noise is louder than others. Took it past bike shop and they...

My XR400 makes this tapping/knocking from around the top end. I do not think it has always done it but can't remember when it started. Once the bike is completely warmed up it goes away and some days the noise is louder than others. Is my bike sick?

Hi hi, Not sure if this should be in the bike-specific thread but it seems quite a general question. I am trying to check the valve clearance on my 2003 XR400. So I turn the engine with a socket (counterclockwise) until the 'T' marking on the flywheel lines up with the index mark. Now my...

Hi Since I managed to get Wednesday off at short notice I want to go for an overnight ride. (My first solo overnighter  ;D) I have been prepping for something like this for weeks with tools, first aid and whatnot. I live in Randburg, so I have been thinking of going over the Maanhaarand and...

Hi I'm trying to get the steering stem nut undone on my XR400 (2003 model); so that I can get the upper fork bridge off; so that I can get to the screws to take the steering lock off, so that I can get a new key cut for it (when I bought the bike a year back the dealership denied any knowledge...

What should I use to lube the cables on my XR400? Is gear oil ok? Or cable lube, silicone spray, WD40? How can I tell if the cable is coated? (thus not needing lube at all)

I'm borrowing my friend's rather battered old DT125 for an outride near the Baviaans next week so I'm trying to get it more up to scratch! The electrolyte in the battery is very low so should I top it up with distilled water or battery acid? It's a standard 6N6-3B-1 6V6AH battery

Say you're cornering or emergency braking and the front wheel washes out or you feel it losing grip. What do you do to save your ass (if there is time)?

How many of you other dogs have rhinoses on your bikes? World rhino day is on the 22nd of September, but one rhino is killed every 14 hours in SA alone! :'( These unusual animals really need all the help there is. They cost R30 from CNA and a couple of other shops and they garantee that 75% of...

I looked at a 2005 XR this week and loved it so we have decided to buy it :ricky:. However the neutral light wasn't working and the dealer said he'd see to it. Now (it's busy going through roadworthy) he says that the xr400 never had a neutral light but Honda just used the same instrument panel...

I'm 18, been riding a DT125 on and offroad for 3 years and am looking for an upgrade of 300-450cc's as a 500 is probably too powerful for my level of experience? I can, however pick up a 500 without any difficulty. It needs to be roadworthy and able to do trails, something like the tt, xt or xl...

The splines on the shaft that the front sprocket is attached to are stripped on my DT (1983 model) so the cranckcase would need to be split to replace the shaft. It is also making a clacking/scraping noise when it freewheels with my weight on it + the noise got worse recently when I tightened...

Hi I'm trying to sell my DT125 because the splines on the shaft that the front sprocket is attached to are stripped. To replace it, you need to open the crankcase. I think a bearing may also be gone in the crankcase. Otherwise it is very well looked after and in good condition. Mileage: 18 500...
