I've often thought about it. What is the purpose of these type motorcycles, the moto/motard looking ones? This is Manic's HP2 Megamoto that is for sale. I was taking a post meal porcelain holiday when it occurred to me. What would I use it for? Ok so obviously it is a DS type motorbike...

BMW just phoned me, informing me that my BMW 800 GS warranty... Didn't really listen, since I haven't owned it in about 2 years. Informed him that I am on a Katoom now, he laughs, en wishes me well.  :thumleft: Yet I am still waiting for a certain Pretoria KTM dealership to phone me back...

In a trip recently, I got a puncture and removed my front wheel for replacing the tube. Today, when checking inventory, it seems I lost the tool I used to undo the front axle.  :dousing: It is the tool that fits the collar screw (according to my manual). It is the wrench and extension piece...

Hi there. I fitted a set of aftermarket pipes to my 990. Scorch to be exact. Just read that SGB, some time ago, suggested to ask the shop to remap according to the akrapovic settings otherwise your 990 might run too lean. Would anyone care to explain that to me? I am not sure what that means...

Dear Mr. Trailrider A friend of mine is looking to purchase himself a Honda Transalp 700, such as the one you have. I am looking for an objective opinion with regard to the following: 1. I have read that the front suspension may need some firming up when intended for off road use. I see that...

Right. Let's get to the point. I am very happy with my KTM. The suspension on that thing is out of this world, but for two specific instances. Loaded up with two 45L panniers (Camping gear, food and brandy) at the back, and 6L fuel. Nothing major with regard to weight, no pillion. Suspension...

Anyone here know who might be open? The guy I'm leaving with for Swazi tomorrow was a bit deur die kak, forgot to put his knobblies on his 1150 GSA. Anyone know of anyone who is open? Or alternative can do the trick for us today? Preferably PTA. We can always get it done tomorrow morning and...

Odd question maybe, but bear with me. Here is my train of thought: So I have been thinking lately of joining the skinnier dark side, trading my 990 ADV for a 950 SE. But here's what I thought. Why is the 990 so much heavier at 227 kg as opposed to the 950 SE at 189 kg. Obviously there is the...

Fitted a set to my 990 today  :biggrin: Herewith a copy of the email I sent to Reynard from Scorch, pretty much says it all  :P "Hi there Reynard! Canisters arrived today, this morning. Thank you! Fitted them quickly a while ago and took it for a lekker long test drive. The pipes sound...

Hi there gents and gals. I have before fiddled around with the front and rear suspension on my 990 to optimize for my likes and dislikes on gravel. Yet I've never taken it for a jol in the twisties, so that's what is up this weekend.  :mwink: Removed my knobblies for the first time since...

I am looking for the equivalent of the Anakee rear for the KTM 990 ADV. Seems many of the tried and tested 150 tyres aren't availble in the 18" rear. Why is that? and what do you guys recommend? Or am I just deur die kak?

Where to find some close by? I'm looking to put a ride together in the near future.  :mwink:  A really tough one might I add. But what I would like to know, is if there are any guys out there that know where to find some proper sand, be it really bad tracks, Waterberg sand, or dunes if you can...

Good evening gents. 1) Got a flat on the weekend, suspected the valve was the problem, and I was right. Faulty valve spoiled a ride out. Now KTM replaced the rear tube. Is it possible to only replace the valve and reuse the tube as spare, or am I going to land myself in the shit? Am I better...

A friend of mine is letting his Dakar go and coming over to the dark side...  :pot:  :biggrin: So if any of you extraordinary gentlemen/ladies have any inside info, I would sure appreciate you dropping a word. Something in line of the following.. (Yes. I know this was a great deal)...

I do a lot of off road traveling, But I once a year do a 1500km tar road trip. The kind of off road I do is very seldom limited to roads/tracks that can be found on regular road maps - so we all know they can get nasty. I am back and forth in deciding between the different bikes, and frankly I...
