Hi,
My spogkind is in die mark, en daar is iemand wat hom wil koop ???
Ek ry nou al vir 4 jaar op 'n GS1200, maar voel dis nou tyd vir iets anders...
Opsies:
KTM190 of GS800 (daar is iets van die GS800 wat my nog altyd laat wonder het....???)
Besit tans 'n wit 2011 GS1200. Ek is baie gelukkig...
Hi all,
Need new tyres for my GS. Anakees is moeg. The rear tyre has now 6 plugs in after last trip in March to Sutherland.
Any recommendations?
70/80% tar
20/30% gravel
I don't do heavy off road. When I hit sand...voete uit and paddle. i do love to ride lekker gravel roads when time permitts...
time to change tyres. my Anakees has served me well, but it's now full of pucture plugs :-[
I would like to fit the new Metzler Karoo 3's
When and where can us "Capies" go and buy a set?
GS 1200
Great trip gedoen die naweek. Kaap-Suhterland-Prins Albert-Montagu-Kaap.
Het 2 x puntures opgetel, Anakee 2, agterband.
Beide kere het ek die gate geplug; veilig by huis aangekom.
Wat doen ek nou?
1. laat "gators" insit, of,
2. koop nuwe band?
Het laasweek die outjie vir my gekoop by WOA.
Baie gelukkig met my kopie!
Is baie gemaklik; hou van die clear en tinted visor opsies; is stil genoeg.
9.5/10
Hello Willehonne!
Tyd om vir my 'n nuwe helmet koop, maar wil die keer kyk na 'n gewone "full face". My AGV AX8 dual purpose helmet het nou sy doel gedien.
Soek iets wat lekker STIL is, en ek hou ook van die interne drop-down visor idee wat bv Shark helmets het.
Enige voorstelle?
Just fitted the Philips Diamond Vision(ultimate white light) globes to my GS1200. Orange lens cover has been removed.
Cool factor - 10/10
White light - 10/10
Better visibility - 9/10
Was so 2 naweke terug deur die Cederberge. Daar was baie water en ons het deur elke plas en poel gejaag :thumleft: Wat 'n awesome ride!!!
Die probleem nou is, my bike kom nie skoon nie???
Daai wereld gooi so 'n rooi modder af as hy nat is en die goed bly sit o pmy fiets.

Time to get new tyres...
Bought bike with Metzeler Tourance on it; had no problems with them.
I commute daily, and ride mostly gravel roads. Try to avoid the very technical stuff.
Any recommendations on new tyres?

bought this week 2 x reservoir covers for my GS 1200 - front brake fluid and clutch reservoir covers; both in sliver.
The silver is too "blingy" for my taste.
I paid R375 - will sell for R300 each.
I've just fitted the brake fluid and clutch reservoir covers (both plain aluminium). I want to change it to black - sliver looks a bit "bling".
what paint/spray can I use. Heat resistant matt black???
Want to fit spots to my '11 GS 1200.
The set of lights + brackets sold by Wild&Heart, are they good?
Is it better to fit LED spots?
Any advise maybe will be appreciated.

Fitted 30mm handle bar raiser the otherday to my 2011 GS.
It was then recommended to me, by a BMW dealer, that I must remove the raisers, and then swap the original handle bar brackets 180*. It raises the bars slightly.
With the handle bar raisers you loose apparently up to 20% control when...
My Sept 2011 GS 1200, 2700km, had to be topped up yesterday. Did not asked how much oil it took >:(
I noticed the "oil can" appeared 2 days ago. Took bike to BMW to be checked out. They said to me it's normal for the new models to use more oil for the first 10000km's.
