Hi all I bought a Desert Fox compressor a few years ago, but it stopped working. Apart from checking the fuse (which I did and is ok :) ) is there anything else one can check? Or where do I take it to be checked out? Cape Town/Cape Winelands area.

Hi all I’m looking for a used Motoradical top box with the round bobbins at the bottom. CT area Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have never been one for a GPS on a bike, mostly because I don't understand how to use a GPS properly. I know the lingo - plotting routes on Basecamp and importing to your GPS, etc, but I don't know how to do it  :-[ ;I just use a GPS like I do google maps -  choose the destination and follow...

I need some of the forum's wisdom. For the past two rides the bike did not switch off when turning off the ignition key when I got home. (When stopping at the garage to put in petrol everything was fine). I read somewhere (can't remember where) that it might be related to the one relay acting...

So this is quite a specific request. I want to transfer my Motorradical Top Box from my 800 to my 1150GS. Thought it would be easy - just buy a new mounting plate. Turns out Motorradical changed the design of their mounting system from round "bobbins" to flat thingymebobs. And for some reason...

I have always wanted an 1150 GSA but saw this bike on the forum in Feb this year and couldn’t resist. After getting it back in Cape Town I took it to Alf, one of the local GS experts (an ex BMW Motorrad technician). He serviced the bike as well as replacing the fuel filter and alternator belt...

I bought these gloves second hand and only used it a few times as they are a little big for me. I then found better fitting winter gloves which I bought instead. I don't have use for 2 pairs of winter gloves. Weather is perfect for wearing these gloves  8) I see the tags have been taken out...

Hi all My 1150GS is leaking brake fluid from the hose where it is connected to the brake fluid reservoir. I wanted to book the bike with Jandre from JK Works to repair this and a general service, but I can only get an appointment in 5 weeks time. I'm happy to wait with the service, but where...

Hi everyone I'm very happy to say I've joined the prestigious list of 1150 owners. Although I originally wanted an Adventure just because it's so damn cool with the aluminium tank, topbox and panniers I realised that the regular GS will be more suitable for me. As much as I wanted a GSA it...

I just bought casper rasper's 1150 off the forum and went to collect it over the weekend. I paid extra for his GPS, the Garmin 76csx with the Touratech cradle which fits on the bike. I used it from Humansdorp back to Cape Town, but have found that trying to use it on the go without my reading...

Hi guys I’m looking at buying a tpms, however I dont like the external sensors. I change tyre pressure often as we do 1 up, 2 up and deflating for gravel. Taking the external sensors off and putting it back the whole time would irritate me to no end so Im looking at the ones with the internal...

I saw this 1100 on the webuycars site and am finding this very tempting..... 86000km and decently priced at R43k. I have noticed the wilddogs stickers on the panniers. I want to go and look at this tomorrow. Maar moet asb tog nou nie die ding onder my neus gaan koop voor ek gaan kyk het nie...

Hallo almal Ek en 'n pel beplan 'n trippie oor 'n paar weke. Ons wil die Vrydagaand by die Oase oorslaap en Saterdag Klawer toe ry en dan by Nama Bike camp oorslaap. Ek het op my Tracks4Africa kaart gekyk en soek advies oor hierdie stukkie roete wat ek gemerk het. Ek weet die stukkie afdraande...

I bought these gloves on the forum some time ago but they’re just too big for me. They were always too big but I thought I could live with it, but I can’t. They are still in very good condition, I probably wore them between 10-15 times. I’ll add to the proceeds and buy a new proper fitting...

I saw this on the webuycars website last night. You can buy for R25k on bid on it on the auction tomorrow morning (starting at R20k). This must have come in during the week as I was there last Saturday and it wasn't there. Photos on WBC site not great so I took a chance and found an ad on...

Hi all I'm cleaning up a bit and selling the stuff lying around. I have a standard screen off a 2005/6 1200GS. R500 . In good nick apart from fine scratches due to normal washing and cleaning. Fine scratches consistent with normal wear and tear. I'm located in Durbanville, WC. O82 5I4 OO5I

Hi all I have now started venturing offroad with my 800GS and enjoying it. I have found however that I definitely have to fit handlebar raisers. That said, how do you determine which height to fit? They come in both 20mm and 30mm. Fitting and driving round the block will not work for me I...

Hi almal Ek het sommer begeester geraak toe ek lees van almal se lekker ervaringe met die Koës rally hierdie jaar en laasjaar en ek wil ook gaan volgende jaar. Ek het die regte fiets maar my grondpad ervaring is min. Hoe moeilik is die grondpaaie daar en in die omgewing vir n relatiewe...

Hi all My stepson’s scooter is up for sale. 2009 Kymco Super 8 125 CC – R6500 My stepson inherited his grandfathers scooter when he became 16 and used it the next two years or so. I also have a Yamaha YBR125G at home and at around 18 he decided that the YBR is much cooler to ride than the...

Hi all I have a 800GS. I love the bike, but the screen is crap. Those who know will tell you that the standard wind protection is just marginally better than that of a naked bike  ::) So I was gifted a screen by my heavy which came off his previous bike, a 2012 1200 GSA. So I want to fit this...
