Where can one go in the northern suburbs in Cape Town to watch the SBK and MotoGP? I don't have DTSV and the only pubs in the area are rugby, soccer, jukskei pubs and whenever I ask them to switch to the bikes they tell me something like "Oom Faan over there is a regular and he likes the jukskei...

Friend of mine is selling his. It comes with a scala-rider blue-tooth  headset and the mounting bracket. It's about 12 months old. Western Cape, he wants R4000 neg. PM me for more details

Can't find reference to this anywhere so I'm sorry if it's been posted before somewhere obscure, but Zone 7 in Melkbos is having an open day this Saturday. Sounds like fun. Get to ride the tracks and support a good cause. I'll be taking the KLR (gingerly!)...

I bought a silver Small Zeus DS helmet the other day. It's juuuussst too small for my head. It's a S but would probably best fit a XS head. Worn twice, on short, tar rides. Nice hat for the price, will buy a M when I sell this one. Looking for R750

I got me a size 60 (XXL) Rallye 2 Pro Jacket for a good price not too long ago. Problem is it's one or two sizes too big for me. I was wondering if any of the dogs have increased in size or girth since they bought theirs and would like a straight swap. I'm looking for a size 56 or 58. Good...

I had intended to ride to Wellington, Gouda, Porterville, Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Wuppertal. From there to take a small, narrow mountain pass and more dirt to Ceres. A round trip of about 650kms with about 200kms of dirt road. Weather was predicted to be lousy, which it was. Left home just...

I'm 1.83m tall and I've come from a BMW R1100S where the little mini screen would sort out my torso and leave half of my neck and my head in the wind. Loved it. I wear earplugs so any speed was a joy. I sold the lovely S to go dirt surfing a little and have had my R1200GS now since December...

Spent New Year on a farm near Citrusdal off the R303. Took the GS for it's second foray on dirt (and my third ever) along the way. Nice views and some good road surface........ at least until the corrugations! Still learning, never been on any off road course and I found it pretty tough going...

Anyone had any reason and/or success with shortening the handlebars of the GS 1200? I rode  with my mate today who owns a 990 Adv and the handles are quite a bit closer together than the GS I recently got my mitts on. I find the GS's bars a tad too wide after being on a R1100S for a number od...

Anyone hear of a recall for the 2008 model 1200 GS's for the ABS units? I have an almost brand new bike in at the dealers with a cracked pipe on the ABS unit that I am led to believe is a known problem that may cause catastrophic front brake failure!! Replacements only available mid Jamuary...

After owning the KLR600 mule for a few months and starting the thing successfully after about 20 minutes of soul destroying kicking each time I now have a loose kickstart lever. The piece of metal keeping the lever from coming off the shaft has broken off. So I tried unsuccessfully to drill a...

On my kwak I got a halfway worn knobblie rear and a dual front. (Bought it like that) 100% inexperienced on dirt I wonder why anyone needs a knobbly front. Does it track better? There's no drive on it so it doesn't need grip to pull As far as I know you don't use the front brake much unless...

Hiya people. New to this forum. Just recently bought an old KLR600 to learn to ride on dirt. My daily commuter is a BMW R1100S. Want a GS when I grow up but would like some skill on the gravel before I bin one of those expensive buggers.

Is chain tension the same for on and off road bikes? I had a chain a sprockets fitted to my KLR 600 by a reputable fitment centre and it seems a tad loose. I know road bikes should ahve a little play but not too much but I only noticed how loose the chain was when I got home and haven't taken...

Hi folks! I'm new to this here forum and I recently decided to join the ranks of the D/S riders by buying an old KLR600 from a chap who's now immigrated to Aus.... with no electric start. It's a b*&cth to get started though. Anyone have any generic tips when it comes to kcik starting, choking...
