Hi, I'm looking to sell my GS 1200 adventure - It's the white, 2017 full spec model, registered October 2016.  I'm the first owner and it has 5000KM on, with 1000km service done by Northside.  Includes a Global Scout topbox, Zumo 660, headlight protector, radiator protector, tank pads.  She's...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out what's "wear bar" on my e-07.  There's a recessed center strip piece and I've ridden them so that the general tread is now flush with this.  Just not sure whether this is the wear bar though...  This tyre has 17000 km's on.  (Sorry, the pic is not the best!)

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I believe it's important to make mention of great experiences. I had my first visit yesterday to GPS for Africa and between dealing with Pauli and Elani telephonically over the last few days and then visiting the shop for a fitment.  I was really blown away...

I'll be fitting new tyres later this morning and am keen to try the Karoo 3's on my GSA. I've previously run e-07's on my S10 and they are great tyres! So I'm not wanting to start a debate about which tyre is better - they're probably both good! But I am keen to get rider experience from...

Hi, I'm taking delivery tomorrow of my new 2013 GSA (woohoo!!  ;D) and it comes with a set of Mettzeler Tourance EXP's.  I desperately want a set of Karoo 3's, but can't afford to throw a way a new set of tyres.  Wondering whether there's a market for a set of these?  I know they go for around...

Hi, Wondering whether anyone else has experienced this?  At low speed, i.e. moving through traffic in the mornings, I'm frequently feeling like the bike is in a groove.  It almost wants to track into vehicles at times!  I've not felt it on other bikes in the past.  Tyres only have around 5k on...

I was at Linex the other day and saw a set of the new Anakee 3's on the rack.  Interesting looking tyre!!  Apparently they give 10% better performance on dirt compared to the Anakee 2's.  They're not as good looking as my e-o7's and I'm certainly not looking to change - was just wondering...

Hi, I'm looking to replace my current fork socks which have now started to perish.  Wouldn't mind a set of the Worldcrosser carbon protectors, but not at R5100, which is what Yamaha wants for a set in SA...  I've seen a set in the States (https://www.rideonadv.com/Ride_On_Adv/fork_guards.html)...

Hi, I've seen places on the web advertising LED "headlight globes" and was wondering what the implication was for this on the S10.  The S10's headlights traditionally look quite dim, especially when one has a set of LED spots fitted.  Don't know much about this space, so just wondering whether...

(First time posting with pics, so I hope this works…!) I did this trip in December, but just haven't managed to get my ass into gear to write the report...  First off, I'll skip the part around getting permission from my wife to go off on my own for two weeks - once I had that, it was pretty...

Hi, I have a set of LED spots (from Schlowy Customs) currently mounted on my crashbars, but was wondering whether anyone has come across a Touratech-style mounting bracket one could use to mount these below your indicators.  The Touratech spots are ridiculously priced and the ones I have work...

So after spending an entire day on this, I've decided Garmin software and the Zumo 660 really sucks!  I'm about ready to throw this expensive, useless device out the nearest window!  >:( A few questions before I toss this: I'm currently running SSA 2012.3 on Basecamp on my Mac.  the 660...

Hi, I'm getting a strange sound on my S10, consistently between 125 - 132KM/h, in 6th.  It sounds a little like water in a washing machine  :) Kind of like wooowooowooo or throb (sorry, hard to describe in words!)  I'm running Anakee 2's and can't remember whether I had it on the original tyres...

Hi, I've been planning a round-trip from JHB to CTN and have finalised my dates.  Anyone on the road at that time with a similar destination, you're welcome to join.  I'm travelling alone at this point.  My route / dates will be: Leaving JHB on 8 Dec. Douglas 8 Dec Augrabies National Park 9...

Hi, My wife has let me out for 2 weeks, so I'm off to Cape Town on the 8th December, riding solo and looking for any suggestions / advice on places to stay and attractions along the way.  Staying clear of main routes, but pretty much a tar run.  Current overnight stops include: Day 1: ...

Hi, I have a set of Mitas e-07 tyres available.  They are almost new, with 1300 km's on, perfect condition.  Size:  Rear - 150/70/17, front - 110/80Ｒ19.  These are great 50/50 tyres on dirt, but for my purposes I've gone with 80/20 tyres, as I spend more time on tar and on long distance.  At...

Hi, I'm planning a trip down to George in December to visit my dad and thought it may be a great idea to fly him up and have him ride down with me.  It would be a great experience, over a few days.  He's ridden bikes all his life, but recently sold and no longer has one.  I'm wondering whether...

Hi all, New to the forum and already had some great advice on 2 different topics - thanks all!  Keen on new routes in the Gauteng / JHB region and will watch the appropriate forums for these. Cheers, Neil

Hi all, I'm looking for some info on best pressure to run e-07 150/70/17 (on a S10) at.  It seems the max pressure is shown as 2.3, which is quite a bit lower than other tyres I've run.  I also see people on forums running these at higher pressures, which I'm assuming is not a good idea from...
