Gents, I suspect a Throttle Position Sensor issue on my 2015 R1200 GS Adventure. When coming up to a traffic light with clutch in the engine suddenly stalls or goes to slow idle. If the light turns green before coming to a stop and you want to accelerate away, the engine is stalled or stuck in...

Hi When rolling off the throttle (at a traffic light for instance) and then accelerating if the light turned green, I experience quite a severe flat spot. I almost have to keep the revs up so that it doesn't choke up when accelerating again. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I bought a set of inners (top box and 2 panniers) for my 2015 LC Adventure with standard BMW aluminium boxes. These are now wearing out, especially the zips. No idea where I bought them. Any suggestions on replacements? Tried Nomad. No go. Cheers

Does anyone know if this comes with lifetime map updates? If yes, how do you download latest? My Nav V has a 2015 map (when it was purchased). Garmin Express just updates the firmware, not the map. Any suggestions?

Hi WD's A few mates and I want to ride the Karoo for 4-5 days, preferably on tame(ish) dirt with a mix of camping and b&b's. Riders coming from Gauteng and KZN. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just returned from a 1300km trip through Lesotho comprising mainly tar and some dirt. Fantastic tyre in my opinion but this is the second Karoo 3 thats worn very badly - last one gave me just over 4000km. My question: the shallow groove in the centre of the knobs is now worn down. Are there...

I'm totally blown away by what these small camera's can do and my @ss is seriously itchy for one. Have been looking at the TomTom Bandit and Go Pro Hero Silver. My (doff) question is: If I have a camera and a Sena headset will I need a seperate mic to record my frequent expletives and near...

Looking for a good quality rain suit - JHB area. Any suggestions as to manufacturer? Type?

Hi Folks Struggling with Hella/Cig connectors from battery to power compressors, camp lights etc that always make a crappy connection. I understand a SAE connector coming from the battery via an inline fuse is the best option? Where can I get one? And also the female ones for all the equipment...

Hi Folks Anyone have some good links where I can get to use my Nav effectively? I'm especially keen to understand downloading and following routes etc.

Looking for one in shop condition in JHB if possible

Hi Folks Taking this road back from Howick to JHB. Any decent accommodation that you know of on this stretch of road? Don't want to come back on the N3. Thanks!

Hi Folks Planning a trip on a 1200 LC Adventure with my wife who is a new pillion rider from JHB around the bottom of Lesotho and up to Clarens. Day 1: JHB to Ladybrand - an easy 401 Km with lunch at Marquard. Day 2: Ladybrand to Kokstad. Would love to go through Rhodes but not comfortable...

Hi Folks Newbie wants to do a road trip from JHB to George and back in December. Have done a fair amount of offroad and an ADA Course since getting the bike in June. Any suggested routes? Also not in a hurry to get there. Anyone want to come along? Not lus to do it alone.

2 Months old. Very comfortable boot. R2200. Little Falls Roodepoort.

Planning a trip on gravel this weekend. Still have road tyres on. What is the recommended tyre pressure for dirt?

Hi Folks Anyone had issues fitting these protectors on this bike? Right side is fine but the crash bars don't fit over the protectors on the LHS. When one stands on the foot pegs looking down one can see the crashbars on the left are slightly smaller around the cylinder than on the right hand side.

Hi Folks I'm sure I'm just being doff here but how do you calculate the distance of a route in My Maps? Also seems a very long process to get your route onto the Nav 5. Must be an easier way? 1) Use Google Maps to establish a general route using places of interest, street view etc. 2) Then...

Hi Folks Am getting serious wind buffeting on my 2015 GSA, Arai TX4, even at low speeds. At cruising speed its so bad that my vision blurs. The helmet fits perfectly, not loose at all. I find the best position is windscreen fully down and sit as far back as possible and relax my back so it's...
