    What Helmet to buy?

    It is important to remember the most important function of a helmet and that is safety. First find out about the technology of the helmets you are interested in and then choose the best one for you. Not all expensive helmets are good and not all good helmets are expensive, but you get what you...

    Good DEAL? or BAD idea..

    These are excellent bikes, price seems very fair. I would make certain of the papers though, get the engine and vin number and most Yamaha dealers will help you check the status of the papers. I would also have the tappit noise checked out before handing over any cash. Otherwise it looks like a...

    Batteries & batteries.... help!

    As you said, YUASA is oem.... on most bikes. Has a year warranty. Pair it with an Optimate 3 battery charger & you'll have a baterry good for at least 5 to 7 years. Might cost a bit more initially but works out to be cheaper in the long run. All my bikes & quads have YUASA batteries and are...

    Yamaha 660z or KTM 690R for newbie

    From my experience testing bikes for a magazine that advertises on this forum, the Yamaha XTZ 660 Tenere is definitely the bike to go for as a newbie. I have tested both bikes extensively for the mag & love both bikes, the KTM 690 is a superb bike if you have moderate to decent riding skills as...

    Please help - 1150 GS control unit

    All is cool, thanks for the advice going to save for future refferal in case I really do need it one day. Love my 1150 but still wonder about an R18,000.00 glorified fuse. I understand the economics behind it with manufacturing costs, exchange rates and etc, I'm actually in the motorcycle...

    Please help - 1150 GS control unit

    So, it turns out that it is not the control unit but rather a faulty fuel gauge & a conspiracy of evil friends. Seems my bike had no fuel in it, (in my defense the fuel gauge is still showing 3 bars), so my mates decided to conspire against me & tell me the control unit had kakked, revenge for...

    Please help - 1150 GS control unit

    I need to consider the sanity of owning a motorcycle with what is essentially an R18,000.00 glorified fuse, almost a third of the bikes value, not making sense to me right now.

    MITAS E07 Tread failure

    So I might be missing the a couple of facts or comments as I just skimmed over this thread, but there is one very important bit of info every bike tyre buyer needs to know. SPEED RATINGS & LOAD INDEX's on tyres are the most crucial bit of info you need to understand when buying a bike tyre. Each...
