    XT500 and XT550 for Sale

    I have these two bikes for sale. Both running and papers in order. The 500 was totally rebuilt, but the 550 is still as it was. On the 550 the back mudguard plastic part is broken. What price could I put on them? I know this not a lot of information, but a range would be great. Just something to...

    XT550 model?

    Hi all. Just got a XT550 for my son. On the register paper it says 1985, but they only built this in 82 and 83? So I’m looking to find out which model this is. I also googled and see there is the xt550, xt550k and xt550j. How do I know what I bought, and does it matter? The VIN starts with 5Y4...

    *** WD XT660R thread ***

    Hi Platte. Dankie vir die fotos. Dit beteken dat die tenk hang aan daai 12mm bout. Ek wou nog dat tenk ook op metaal plaat rus. Anyway, thanks. Wou ook graag weet oor die gaatjie wat jy in jou petrol tenk geslaan het. Wat doen dit? Is dit net om die vasgekeerde lug te laat ontsnap sodat daai ook...

    CALEDON CANOLA RUN - 9 SEPTEMBER 2017

    I hope that i could make it this year, for the first time. Everybody says any bike and and and, but is there an actual bike limit/recommendation? I would love to do it with my boy, but he's on a 125 two stroke. I'll stay with him, but do not want to upset other, faster, riders. thanks

    Through the old postal route on a Versys 300x and a Super Ten

    Hi Hanno Dankie vir die lekker lees, en kyk. Dis ook n "Bucket List Item" vir my. Ek dink, hoop, die XTR sal dit makliker kan doen. Ek is glad nie goed genoeg vir iets so groot soos die Sup Ten nie. Sal eendag daar by jou kom kuier en bietjie uitvra. Cheers. Ludwig

    After market cans for XT660R

    Thanks, more cuts. I think I'll first try to find cheap Cans and test on them. Cheers

    After market cans for XT660R

    Nice. That is what I want, just a nice deep sound. Is that your cut just in front of the End Caps? Maybe I'll give it a bash. Thanks for photos.

    After market cans for XT660R

    Hi Platte Thanks for your input. That is very sad news. I am not qualified to cut open these things, and make it look reasonable again. Maybe I should look for some aftermarket pipes. BTW, how did it turn out, the sound?

    After market cans for XT660R

    Thanks DakarDirk. I hope I do not have to do any cutting. The end is closed with a kind of cap and is fastened with 3 rivits. I hope to just drill out the rivits and pull out the insides. I'll also do a search on XT660.com Thanks for your help.

    After market cans for XT660R

    Hi All. What if you want to keep standard Cans, but really just want a little bit more of a Thump on the sound, No noise, just that beautiful Thump you should get from a Single. Any ideas that would not mess with engine??? I heard about taking out some of the baffling, or drilling holes...

    Sederberg naweek trip

    Baie nice plan vir jou ekstra petrol. Soos dit lyk, en as jy nog een het aan ander kant, kan jy 12 lieter ekstra saamry? I like, I like. Mooi bly.
