Yesterday, for the first time I removed and installed new steering steering bearings on my XT1200Z. I was surprised when a friend told me that he has never changed his steering bearings with over 100 000kms.  So, why it that I had changed about 6 sets? I decided to investigate.  Removing and...

I was looking at one of the photos from my trip in 2010.  I can only shake my head.  It was a daring trip solo.

I wish to borrow a Torque Wrench that can torque these values 18NM and 52NM and it should be 1/4 size from someone around Gauteng but not as far as Pretoria.  I have one that can do the larger value, but not one that can do the smaller value. I will forever appreciate, and maybe invite you to a...

The reason I post the problems I encounter with my S10 is that others with the same bike and high mileage might learn from my experience.  I have had problems with steering bearings from day one.  I have so far used four sets.  I was socked to learn from a  friend that with over 100,000km, he...

All S10 riders, what engine oil do you use: Mineral, semi-synthetic or full synthetic and which one? I use 20W50 and change oil every 5000km :ricky:

I thought this might interest you.  Those who are familiar with my bike will know that it has been a work horse with very good innings. I notice some oil on the floor and did a thorough check of the bike.  I established that the oil was draining from the two ducts leading from the water pump. ...

I have a used Titanium arrow slip-on exhaust for  XT1200Z 2010 Super Tenere model  for R4000.  Only serious interested may contact me via PM. It is a great pipe but very loud for me even with ear plugs on.  I have recently acquire very loud air horns so the pipe can go. Spoil yourself this...

Hello Wild Dogs, I have a computer box without a screen that I wish to pass onto someone.  I thought that we might join hands and do this together.  If you have a discarded computer screen, preferably an LCD, somewhere in your store or garage that you think will help someone in need, won't you...

The key starts the bike very well, and it sits firmly into the lock.  However, I suspect that the tumblers inside the lock cylinder may be worn, damaged or the lock cylinder has failed.  I can start the bike, take out the key, and the motor will still run.  Now this is scary in many ways; for...

I have been meaning to wrap part of my bike in genuine carbon fibre, but the last time I checked which was a couple of years ago, one needed to take a second mortgage to do anything with carbon fibre.  My questions are: Are there wild dogs who are conversant with this technology?  Is it still...

Wild dogs, I have had this cruise control for a while.  I don't know what to do with it because I do not need it.  It might be useful for someone who does not have a cruise control. ..It is brand new. ..Only those who really need it should ask for it. ..I give it away free of charge on first...

Wild dog thank you for always helping out when requested to do so.  This time around request anyone especially around Johannesburg to help with a kid's helmet. I have a six year old I will be transporting on bike for the next two weeks and require a kids helmet.  If you can, please urgent...

Forgive me if  I have posted this thread on the wrong board.  I have a curious question about coolant.  How does the coolant for bikes differ  from that of cars?  To put his question in another way, suppose I walked into Mida and bought coolant, would this be suitable for a  bike?  If not what...

I have heard that there are some really decent light bar out there that do not require one to take a second mortgage, any recommendations and pictures.

So last Saturday I woke up early to go looking for a Mitas E07 tyre.  I ended up in  Midrand (Centurion), waited in the queue and had a rear Mitas E07 fitted on my bike.  Time to pay, I swipe my card, then swipe again and each time it reads declined.  I knew there was a handsome balance in the...

Where can I find Mitas EO7 or Anakee III 110-80-19 and 150/70/17 in Johannesburg for a good prices today.  I need them like today.

I have a Kilimanjaro jacket that has served me well, and yet still has some useful life remaining in it.  But some fabric on it have become brittle and simply tearing off, yet other parts are as good as news.  I am hoping to find a seasoned tailor who can fix it with some new fabric.  I know...
