Hi ZAR Will a VSTROM 1000 be able to handle the dirt roads there and back?

Hi guys Myself and 2 friends are planning a ride to Katse dam the weekend of 22 March.  We will be leaving Krugersdorp on 21 March and plan to sleep over in Clarens the night of the 21st.  We then want to enter Lesotho at Fouriesburg on the 22nd and ride to Katse dam to sleep over in Lesotho...

Hi So far I am definitely in - would be good to see how to do some home maintenance on my litle baby

Hi Gunda A friend of mine got a new BMW that we would like to "break-in" this weekend - do you have tracks of gravel roads in/around the krugersdorp area? Would really appreciate the assistance.

Hi I have a 2009 KLR 650 still with the standard sprockets on.  I am thinking of putting on a new front sprocket with one more tooth - I want lower the revs at highway speed, hopefully thereby reducing oil usage on long trips. Will this work - should I rather go smaller on the rear sprocket...

Hi Is anyone welcome to the tech day? If so, what are the arrangements in terms of time/food/drink etc.

OK, so thinking of buying a good secondhand DL 1000 - my citeria is as follows: - nothing older than 2008 model; - no more than 25000km on the clock; - full service history with suszuki. Does anyone have such a DL that they would want to part with? Have already checked the commercial section...

So I took my mates DL 1000 for a ride on Saturday with the wife on the back.  What is interesting is that I decided to head off to Linex Yamaha, as they had a demo S10 there - I though it would be good to ride the bikes back to back for a proper comparison.... Well - on paper the Yammie has...

Ok, so now that the decision is made, I have another question: I would like fit a proper bash plate and some crash bars, along with a centre stand (main stand).  Any suggestions on what brand to buy and where to buy it from. I will be buying the bike from KCR in Kempton park.

Thanks guys - sounds like I can't go wrong with buying the DL 1000 - I have always been a Suzuki fan!

Hi guys Thinking of buying a new VSTROM 1000 - see they are selling for R99000 now - but I have some questions: 1 - Why are they selling so cheap - are they going to be discontinued or replaced by something else? 2 - How capable is the big strom off-road? My version of off-road riding is...

Hi guys Thanks for all the feedback and advice. I have made up my mind - I am selling the bike as I am not going to spend money on fixing something that should have been fine to begin with - that is why I bought a new bike, not a used one. Also, after my trip I realised that the KLR in any...

Hi guys Did a trip in December 2011 - 2500km's in total - my KLR used 2L of oil on this trip!  I was riding solo with a top box and side touring bags and did not exceed 110kmh as I did not want to strain the bike.  I used Bell ray Thumper oil when I did my oil and filter change (1000km before...

Hi guys I am planning a solo ride during December.  My route will be from Krugersdorp to Vryburg, Upington, Williston, Victoria West, Aliwal North and then Margate. Do any of you have any advice/thoughts you would like to share with me - I would appreciate info on what to pack in terms of...

Hi Currently have Pirelli Scorpion trails fitted both front and rear. Done 6000km so far and the rear is good for another 6000 - front does not even appear to be used. Excellent grip on tar - especially in the wet - did a trip through the Natal midlands in December 2010 and got a lot of rain...

Guys I tested both the (very) wee and the 1000 this weekend - no comparison!!!  The wee has got no power at all - you just sit there and watch the revs climb, hit red line, and hook another gear - and I think to myself - OK, when are we getting a move on? The 1000, on the other hand, has got...

Thanks guys - much appreciated - I was worried about the off-road capability of the STROM - judging from the pics it can go wherever I will want it to - don't think I will be doing any more hectic off-road than on those pictures  ;D
