What a lovely day.  Hope everyone had their bikes out for a ride as `n think the winter will come quite fast now. And may the Stormers win..

Yes, I know there are plenty of old discussions on tyres. Im only interested in tyre size for the klr. Standard is 130/80-17 (rear). I would like to put a 140/?-17 on.  Anyone with a 140 on?

I wanted to originally just sell my KLR and pay off the car, but now Im thinking of rather getting a smaller, lighter bike for riding around town and playing with.  Jurgen recons the DRZ wont last as long as the KLR. Personally I just feel that the KLR is a bit too heavy for technical riding...

I am going to Natal and looking for a second hand GPS to use for a short period (for use in car). Ive seen Garmin Nuvi 205W`s available for R1k and below including latest maps loaded. Does anyone think this is a bad buy and are there any suggestions?  Preferred price is below R1k3. Thanks for...

R3000. Roughly 1 1/2 years old. Reason for selling: Lying in cupboard.  Only used a couple of times. Want to buy new watch :) Why so cheap?: 1.) One of the few times I took it outdoors, I accidentily scratched the screen (I will try to upload photos).  2.) I had once or twice where the GPS...

I have a 08 KLR 650 and need a 12V supply. I have seen a post saying that there is an extra 12V behind the headlight? How do I get to this plug (what do I need to take apart :)) ? I have a clock/temp sensor that I want to power so consumption is very low. Cheers Kois

I am curious as to which brand of rechargable batteries are preferred/recommended. Have heard that GP is good. I would also like to buy a decent charger (standard AA size batteries). Any suggestions?

We are camping in Algerie on Easter weekend and I am looking for hiking trails in the region. There is info on the intraweb, but no waypoints/maps that I can find.  Anyone know of a useful link on hiking trails in the region? Thanks Francois

I heard from a superbike friend there is a rally in Clanwilliam next weekend? Is this organised by a Wild Dog by any chance?

There exist a bond between wild dogs that few other biker groups have. I think its the common drive and lust for adventure that binds us together. For us its not about who has the shiniest, fastest or most expensive bike, but a common interest to explore. In my dealings with wild dogs I have...

Any dogs in Langebaan from the 29th to 2nd?

Would like to share some knowledge. I removed my fuel tank on Saturday and while doing this one needs to remove the fuel inlet to carb and two other rubber hoses from the tank. Be very careful when removing the thick fuel inlet hose from the tank connection as they tend to be quite difficult...

My KLR now has 6000 km on the clock and is due for a service. It is my understanding that only an oil change is required (not filter) I have a service manual and am really keen to do this myself. Anything else in particular that I should check? Then there is the setting of the valve...

Anyone know of a website where one can find waypoints of destinations in the western cape? Either im not looking in the right places, or people seem to be selfish.

Im buying a pipe from Smithey in JHB and need to get in down to CPT. Willing to pay a fee for your effort. Please let me know. Thanks Francois

Yes, i screwed up.  Bought a Garmin Etrex Legend in Hungary last week without doing research. It only has 8MB internal memory and no memory expansion options. Bottom line, it will not do what I want, and that is to load maps.  Yes, it can load sections of maps, but I want to load the whole map...

I have a Garmin Etrex Legend GPS that I want to mount on my KLR650 2008. Any ideas on how to mount this without purchasing an expensive garmin holder? Thanks
