Hi guys, I need new inners for my 9-year old Hornet DS. Is there somewhere I can order these online? Alternatively, who are the local distributors for Shoei these days? Thanks  :thumleft:

Hi Guys (and girls), I just bought a new Versys, and since I can only ride one bike at a time my old Fugly is for sale. The details: 2005 (registered 2006) KLR650 - old shape. 61,000km on the clock. Groenie installed a 685cc Schnitz kit and new valves, thus new top end at about 57,000km. It...

If you bought a KLR lately, have you been given discount on the list price of R65,995 ? I just want to know how firm that price is before I start calling 10 different dealers for discount. I have never paid full price for any bike or car...  :peepwall:

Hey guys, I'm trying to get my old dad's old R65 running. The carbs are a mess, it starts but fires on one cylinder only. Any recommendations on a knowledgeable airhead mechanic in Jhb, specifically one who knows his stuff with those Bings? Thanks.

Yep, you read right. Every time when I go on a ride, and I'm not talking about commuting but a proper ride, I get sick exactly 3 days later.  It starts with a snotty nose, sore throat, basically just normal cold symptoms that would then usually disappear again in a few days.  And before you...

Ok, this is one of those threads were I already made up my mind but still want someone to agree with me  :biggrin: KMSA are selling new Pegaso's (2010 MY) for R70k, only R4k more than a new KLR. Since I'm not into hectic trail riding but more relaxed cruising on district roads kind of stuff, I...

I need a new set of tyres, 180/55-17 and 120/70-17 preferably in a dual compound sport-touring tyre like the Michelin Pilot Road 2/3 or Metzeler Z8. Anyone forum vendors?

So myself and Sparro went on a lekker trip to Swaziland for a few days and I arrived back home on Friday and parked the bike in the garage.  Yesterday morning I want to go for a ride and my battery is dead. I thought it very strange for the battery to go flat within only a day but I put it on...

Yes, there's yet another new 1200cc adventure beastie on it's way...if you could call something with 17" mags an adventure bike that is. There you go: https://caponord.aprilia.com/en/

I'm looking for a set of good 50/50 tyres for an upcoming trip next month. The route will be sort-of unplanned, but I don't want to be limited by tyres if I see a nice track to ride, be it sandy, muddy, rocky or whatever. Now I know most of us KLR okes (me included) are cheapskates that don't...

I can't seem to find anything local  ??? Would like to add an IDS2 Quiet Series to my KLR when doing the 685 kit.  Maybe I should have added one from Schnitz when we ordered the piston kit...

I'm looking at replacing my slightly bent stock bars with a Renthal 787-01. Does anyone know of a local online store that stock these? ...or maybe a shop in Gauteng, because I'm going there this weekend. Thanks  :)

If you have, how does it's abilities on gravel and slightly technical terrain compare? Can you actually feel the additional 30-40kg (compared to old shape KLR) when negotiating obstacles? And lastly, what's your average tank range? My fugly will reach 60,000km by the end of the year and I...

Hi guys, I'm selling this old airhead. Pichas to follow shortly.... Details: 1981 R65 (the plain one, not the LS) Mileage - I dunno, the odo stopped working years ago at 76k  :D Fairly new Michelin Macadam 50 on the rear. Brand new Bridgestone something on the front. I replaced the rear shocks...

Hi guys, The bolt where the subframe mounts on the main frame (under the tank) has sheared of nice and flush so that I can't get it out without drilling from the other side.  It's not the standard bolt, but the longer one supplied with my SW-Motech crash bars for it's top mounting. I've heard...

I'm seriously considering selling my Fazer 600 Yammie and getting a mid-range twin cylinder dual sport instead. The reasoning is that all our roads are crap, I feel sorry travelling on even the best ones with the road bike. The candidates are the Versys, V-Strom, and Transalp 700. I'm keeping...

Who else is going? Myself and Wingnut shooting through early Sat morning.

I hope this is not old news for the BMW faithfull, but I stumbled across this article just now. I've heard so many Dakkie owners bemoaning the demise of their beloved bike, well it seems there is a worthy (and probably very similar) replacement on the way in the form of the G650GS Sertau, a...

I was just wondering... If they can build tubeless (read UST) spoke wheels for mountain bikes, why can't the same be made for real bikes? Yes yes, I know the 1200GS and ST has them, but both have some finicky way of attaching the spokes to the rim.  I'm talking plain rims for smaller capacity...

Any other dogs also going? PM your number, then maybe we can meet at the bar for a dop or two  :thumleft: I'll be there from Friday night around 18:00.
