    Repair shop - Pretoria

    I am currently in PTA and have picked up an issue with my bike's clutch. Have asked around and have been referred to Shaun Ellis, apparently in Moot area somewhere. Anybody know him and can recommend him? Don't want my bike butchered. If not, what are my other options? Thanks in advance!

    Klapped that GSA good & proper + Throttle Bodies service

    The expression "Penny wise, pound foolish" comes to mind. Buying cheap will almost always bite you in the arse later!

    Klapped that GSA good & proper + Throttle Bodies service

    Mr.T, please could you share how you removed the ball joint?  I believe it is fitted with loctite and torqued to 230Nm.  Is that correct? I have been told that mine needs replacing soon, and the agents seem dubious about doing the job, having apparently "only done it once before".  I doubt they...

    If you're in the Eastern Cape, Jughead had 2 complete sets when I was there about a week ago.  Even had the injectors and idle whatumacallits on.  Send him a PM.

    ABS lig kom aan in ry op BMW 1200GS

    Unfortunately none of the YouTube links provide a permanent remedy for the actual problem.  All of them just give you a temporary fix for the symptom. Contact Jughead.  He is a master when it comes to these pumps.  He will refurbish your entire pump and give you a 5 year warranty on the job. ...

    R1200GSA Cam Adjustment

    Yes, I was referring to the cam rotation relative to the sprocket or gear or whatever drives it.  I know on some cars like the Golfs you can get an adjustable cam pulley.  Can this movement not damage valves though?

    R1200GSA Cam Adjustment

    I am looking at purchasing an LC but have a question. I am told that the LC motor needs periodic cam adjustment.  Apparently the cams go out of sync with each other and this needs to be corrected when the bike is serviced. Any truth in this?  A little concerning as this could eventually lead...

    Front shock oil seal. Help needed

    :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: Sorry Boet, need special tooling to take it apart.  Not just like normal fork seals.  And don't believe the dude at the corner garage that says he can fix it!

    warning lights

    :thumleft: You confused the issue a little by posting in the aircooled section (K25/K255) Your bike is the Liquid cooled model, which is a K50/K51.  Your post actually belongs here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?board=193.0

    BMW GS/GSA fork stantion crimp..anyone had problems like this.

    I still believe that this whole problem can be put down to "User Error" IMO, too much is left up to the rider with regard to suspension setup.  Riders are thinking "We have a large BMW with a plush ride so we will set the suspension on "Soft,Road" mode, even though we are doing the kakest...

    Akrapovic question

    Why not contact the supplier that you purchased it from and ask them 1. Why their sticker is so crap that it burns off and 2. is there one that rivits on? I'm sure you'll get a much more accurate answer.
