    Exhaust System

    Anyone out there know where I can source an exhaust system for a 1980 model CBX100 (Naked version - without the fairing). Preferably a 2 x 3-in-1 system. It is for a connection of mine in Kanadoosland. He will sort out payment and shipping.

    F800GeenSand - Chain

    Anyone out there that can tell me what chain size the 800GS use. 520?, 525?, Other?, it is not 530 (that belongs to superbikes) Tried to match a 520 on the sprocket but no go, although I'm told by various sources that it could be a 520.

Look Ma, no number plate) The Dakar, after 153 000 on the clock is now in semi retirement. But then, when driving a BMW some form of backup...

    Cage Drivers & Bikes

    Wonder if any WDâ??s out there experience the same phenomena lately. Whenever a cage driver closes the gap when you do lane splitting, or change lanes without signalling or even try to run you of the road, it happens to be in the majority of the time a driver with late model 4x4. Or am I...

    Loose & Broken Bolts and Nuts

    Word of advice to all the WD Members with 650 Dakars. Since this bike is a glorified Thumper with a Microlight engine, after every serious (and not so serious) dirt road trip and on a regular basis check all nuts and bolts for tightness. Do not trust the establishment or person that service...

    Dakar Chain Problem

    I own a F650GS Dakar (2003), done 93000km with a few problems. However, since I replaced the original chain an interesting problem has reared its head. The circlip of the master link stays in place irrespective of the road condition or driving style, but the moment I drive continuously for a...
