What can I expect to pay for a new KLR standard exhaust? Anybody?

Hi all My bike is currenly sitting at Automotorcycles in PE (Govan Mbeki Ave.) for a service. I am looking for someone trustworthy (!) to install an Eagle Mike doohickey and springs. Who in PE can do this for me? Unfortunately, I probably won't be there to watch or assist as I am in...

The AIRAGE pipe on my KLR is all well and good. I love the bark and the growl in the driveway, but I’m not sure the neighbours do. My ideal ride is a solo trip enjoying the sights and sounds away from the noise and people and I am not all that fond of the roar behind my right ear. I don’t really...

Clymer, Kawasaki KLR650, 1987-2007, edited by James Grooms. I stumbled across this book on the maintainence, trouble shooting and repair of KLR's on the internet this morning. I wasn't able to find any reviews of the book or content summaries. Does anybody have this book? Is it useful? Would...

What makes of chain lube do you guys recommend? Or is there not much difference between the makes of lube?

Living 130k's from the nearest service centre means I have to start maintainiung my bike myself. It is out of warranty now, so I am not too fussed about it. But parts are likely to be an issue. I am looking for a RELIABLE and (if possible) reasonable parts supplier for my KLR650, preferably, but...

I know a lot of you guys do your maintainence and servicing yourselves, so, how do you guys prop your bike up-right and stable (back wheel in the air) for when you are, for example, working on your chain?

Anybody interested yet? The original price was R38000, but I have lowered that because there may be a KLE out there that interests me. So, I am selling one doohickey plus springs and Eagle Mike sticker for R33000. With this you will get a Kawasaki KLR650 (2006) model with 12000km on the clock...

I have just received a new doohickey (thanks Groenie) and, as I am a complete mechanical dunce, I need assistance with installing it. Is there anyone in Grahamstown who can assist? My mechanical expertise stretches as far as servicing my fishing reels and even then I often have bits left over. I...

Having identified a bike, I am struggling to find a financial institution that will finance a private sale. They all require a bike to be purchased through a dealer. Can anyone help? Who does this sort of thing? ???

Something to consider (see the link below)... and at least it will make one feel like one is trying to do something to keep the roads safe for motorcyclists and drivers. Not sure how Arrive Alive would follow this up and it seems like it would involve an enormous amount of work just to charge a...

Okay, guys, as I am new to this I would like a snapshot of what you think are absolute essentials in terms of safety equipment for a first time rider. I am not talking about extravagently expensive tents that double as teapots and roll up into a bag no bigger than a tobacco pouch. I'm talking...

I am a newcomer to this forum (see new member introductions) and I am in the market for a good, low mileage dual-sport bike. I am looking in the region of a 650cc and I reckon I can convince the bank to give me about R45 000 (ok, maybe R40 000). I would like to suggest a few makes and models...

I've been lurking for a while, trying to get myself into a position where I can actually contribute to this site. Passed my learners day before yesterday as a 35 year old university post-grad. I emphasise this because I finished my test last and got the lowest mark out of a class of me and 15...
