Howzit guys. Hope someone can assist. I want to replace the factory fitted spots on my 2011 GSA with aftermarket LED spots. I however do not wish to cut the original wiring in order to do so. Where can I get my hands on a pair of the female connection to connect to my new spots, so I can plug...

Hi guys. I'm sure this topic must've been addressed at some stage. What gps does one need to get in order to use the "Tracks for Africa" routes, and it must also be easy to import and use various types of formats of saved maps. Like example using the Deon Meyer maps of "Ridders van die...

Hi guys. I left Cape Town this morning to Oudtshoorn. Upon my arrival at Calitzdorp I noticed my chain slack was huge!  So much that the chain started to whip. Chain adjusted and back on the road to CG. Entering Oudtshoorn I noticed a grrrt grrrt noise that seems to come from the rear wheel...

Here goes...  My friend Taxi assisted me in building a nice solid sissybar for my camping goodies. The problem I found wad that the vibrations got to bad from the play that was on the overhang at the back. Eith the help of some p-clamps and 20mm pipe the sissybar wad supported on the pillier...

Hi guys! I am looking for the dimensions / specs / measurements....call it what you will.  I can't afford the the real deal shop made unit. Anybody out there that is willing to assist me please? I am going to try and build my own but don't have the technical knowhow.  Sent from my GT-I9500...

Howzit guys. My pilion came off my bike rather fast last night in town..  Lol!! It seems the rear footrest got cracked after a fall and well, as she got off... SNAP!!! Lol!! Nearly killed me when she caught me laughing.  So I spent the whole flippen day trying to get replacement footpegs...

Howzit guys. I'm down in the Cape, Bellville to be exact.  My Vara's reserve level warning sensor (on the tank) isn't working for some reason. Is there any cheapy replacement, apart from using a stick every now and then to check the level, I could use? Or even better, any body know of a place I...

Hi guys.  It seems as if my Vara's low fuel sensor is not working. As far as I know, Varas do not have reserves on them.  Where (apart from the leaches) can I get a replacement?  The light itself is working, I've checked.  And I've ridden till I had to put in almost 24,5 liters of fuel, but...

Howzit guys! My Vara's battery seems to be loosing power. Or  at least that's what it looks like. After I had work done on the bike, it seems to turnover slower than before. Also the clock and speedometer resets when trying to start it "sometimes". I don't know whether it's time for the battery...

Howzit guys. Had my Vara's valve clearance done. Engine runs beautifully, nice and even for a change. Not hunting rev's when idling. I am so impressed with the bloke I used, and he didn't try to rip me off either. I've noticed that I don't get to high speed as easily as before I had the valves...

Hey guys.  I noticed that 14 members indicated (thus far) that they ride Vara's.  Was wondering if maybe we could open a discussion or tip section on possible remedies for hiccups that might exist with our bikes, or even of other peoples bikes (if it's Vara related).  I'm new to all this, but...

Hi guys. I need your advice please. I ride a 2002 Varadero. The time has now come to fit new tyres, but I have no idea what brands to look at or even what, where and who...  I have heard talk of 50/50 and 70/30 treads, but what the hell?? I ride mostly tar, but would like to do more gravel...

Hey Guys! I'm new to the "real bike" scene. I live in Bellville W Cape. So a while ago I got myself a beaut of a bike!  Honda Varadero XL1000V  '02 . Gorgeous in the flagship colours. As youth I have been riding thumper.  Used to ride a DR500, but that was years ago. Now I finally got the...
