I need to spend a few days in Bloemfontein. Which affordable places can Wild Dogs recommend?

Thanks for the replies everyone.  :thumleft:  As you can probably tell I'm still very much a noob when it comes to working on the bike. :o So I've decided to take the tyre off again and do a proper job. I also noticed that the rim strip is in bad shape, can I use duck tape or insulation...

Thanks for the speedy replies guys!  :thumleft: I haven't real noticed a "notch" in the steering arc, will definitely look out for that on my next ride. Also, the handling felt pretty solid before I had to repair the flat tyres. To add some context: My from rim has a slight deformity probably...

After replacing both front and rear inner tubes on my KLR 650, and when adjusting the chain slack, I noticed that the slack did not stay the same as I turned the wheel. I got advice that its time to replace the chain and sprockets as the sprockets wear down to an oval shape over time, thus...

Well I'm not really worry about insurance as I don't have any yet. Which is probably a bad idea, and I topic for a topic for another discussion. I'm more worried about the law, as in being denied entry to the country or being pulled over and asked to produce a licence.

Hi all I'm the proud new owner of a 2008 KLR. My 1st bike!  :biggrin: I bought the bike with about 26000km and a couple of nice extras. I don't think the doohickey has been done as the previous owner didn't know what I was talking about and said he didn't think that the previous previous owner...
