Hi Chaps I am very keen to sort the above out but have not seen any examples of this being done, presumably due to the rear sub-frame being to week to accommodate further weight? The style i like is exactly what the GS guys mount above the tail. I have soft luggage but not ideal for leaving...

Hi Chaps My cluster is on the blink, in fact only the speedo, the numbers are at times very faint almost as though they are not receiving enough battery power. Battery is fine and connections are also good. Its booked in at KTM to have this looked at, any suggestions in the interim at all...

Hi Chaps I took the BMW for a nice long ride and when it heats up at slow speeds it tends to cut out, then wont start, starter turns over but does not fire. A quick push start gets me going again. First port of call was to check the spark plug, i see it has a CR9EK , but the interweb suggests...

Hi Chaps More pics- https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-motorcycles-scooters/edgemead/bmw-g450x/1002116629690910167314509 I am selling my pride and joy. Engine has just been rebuilt/upgraded to a 511cc 15 riding hours ago and pulls very nicely.  All slips available. Bike is fully licensed and on the...

Hi Guys Long story short my bike ran dry and so far the top end needs to be replaced, we are not sure how the bottom looks, will know shortly. Will explain later when full report comes back from mechanic. Any suggestions on where i can start to look to source parts other than the agent? If...

Hi Chaps I have been smelling fuel during rides on my bike, this afternoon i removed the fairing at the rear and the seat and can clearly see its coming from some where around the rear or right hand side of the tank, a inspection of the hoses all seems fine, well what i can actually see. I do...

Hi Chaps One of the Gents I rode with a few weeks back suggested taking a screw driver to the top of the adjuster on the front forks, i think he mentioned this was the air bleed screw, and should be done every now and then. How does one do this, sorry i clearly was not paying attention...

Hi Chaps Im writing on Friday and all the information i find online seems all over the place. I have purchased the K53 book from CNA, its really not very clear on what i need to study. Can anyone assist on this point at all. Im writing at Milnerton in Cape Town Thanks in advance Jayson

So i decided to open up the std exhaust and take a look why the bike is so quite. Flip its a big job. All the rivets need to be drilled out and then the box needs to be pulled apart, i eventually used my 4x4 to pull the inner out using my recovery straps, they really fit it in there tightly...

Hi Gents So i took delivery of my 450 last night and took it on its 1st ride today after not being on two wheels for 10 years, going to take allot of getting used to! I really enjoyed it and didn't lack any power at all, coming from a 660 Raptor i thought this might be an issue...I did find the...

Morning Chaps I take delivery of my new bike today and called my local bike shop to see if they can maintain the bike. Unfortunately not, they did direct me to Maxwill Trading in Montague Gardens. Ideally close to Blouberg/Parklands..... Any feedback on this dealer at all?. The bike has just...
