    Wiring chafing on 990's

    Hi, a buddy and I had two breakdowns within a week due to the same issue.  Sorry, did not take pics. The wiring on both bikes got chafed where the loom and the throttle cables go into the frame directly behind the upper steering head bearings. There is a short horizontal frame member over which...

    Bush under angular bearing

    Hi, I've bought a deur die gat getrekte 1150GSA, and is in the process of building a street scrambler. Unfortunately, the steering had a LOT of lateral wobble. The repair manual is not clear, there seems to be a bush between the top of the frame and the bottom of the angular bearing? Brass...

    R1200GSA hub size needed

    Hi Honne, Does anyone have the exact dimensions for the hole spacing on the rear hub of a R1200GSA? I want to make a hub to take a standard GSA rear rim for a sidecar. I've measured it, but could be off by about half a millimeter. Currently I've got a car tyre fitted to the sidecar, and the...

    990 bad shifting

    Hi all, My 990 is at times difficult to gear up. Even if the clutch is pulled in fully it seems that something doesn't mesh, it scratches before engaging. At times it also feels like it goes into neutral between 3rd and 4th. Any ideas? I rode a buddies 990R, and it is really crisp and slick...

    Hi, any ideas where can I find sprockets for a 85 GPZ1000, preferable in the Western Cape? Here in Namibia it is not available at all and Kawa/Suzuki's best advise was to have it cut.

    990 ABS disengage rear only

    Hi all, I love the concept of the front abs working and the rear switched off as on the 1190. Is this possible to do on the 990? 1: put a switch in line with the rear wheel sensor. Will this also render the front inoperable? 2: bypass the abs pump on the rear wheel, connect the brake and...

    Lift gesoek na Windhoek

    Hallo honne, Weet iemand dalk van 'n saamrygeleendheid vir my 990 se vurke en agtershock, seker so 15kg, vanaf Superfoxi in die Wes Kaap na Windhoek? Met 'n renbode moet ek invoer belasting op die grens betaal, en ek het nie 'n uitvoer permit gehad om die goed in die eerste plek af te stuur...

    Nuwe liefde in my lewe

    Sy het haar vorige eienaar gepos op die Khomas Hochland. Hoof besering, gebreekte sleutelbeen, arm, gewrig en rug. Nodeloos om te sê wil sy vrou nooit weer 'n bike naby die erf hê nie, en ek kon 'n bargain koop. Die vorige eienaar was alleen toe hy geval het en kan niks onthou tussen 'n paar...

    Hi all, I need to put a price to a R1200C. It doesn't have a book value any more and they are so scarce in Nam it is difficult to compare 2004 model, 16 000km, spotless, never dropped or scratched at all, full BMW service record, screen and brand new BMW leather luggage with frame, mounted but...

    Goose tube cups

    A riding buddy and I regularly go for a coffee somewhere in the bush. All my coffee "tools" fit very nicely inside my dixie, but the cups was always a problem. Until we realized the there are great mugs screwed on the goose tubes! Works like a charm, always ready and doesn't burn your lips.

    K60 Scout first impressions

    Took the GSA out today for a lekker long ride, a new TKC in front and for the first time a Heidi K60 Scout (new pattern) on the rear, and I was very impressed. On tar at 140-160, 28 degrees outside at 2.6 bar the tyre ran very cool. On very loose, eroded gravel at 1.7 bar I was very happy with...

    ABS afskakel "on the go"

    Daar was iewers 'n post hieroor, maar ek kon dit nie nou kry nie. Is dit moontlik om 'n skakelaar te koppel op 'n 1200 2006 GSA wat die abs kan afskakel terwyl ek ry? Dalk in die draad wat van die sensor op die wiel kom? Ek weet jy is veronderstel om dit te doen voor jy wegtrek, maar dit het...

    R1200C Zorst

    Weet nie of dit die regte plek is om te post nie, dis die naaste thread aan R1200C. Ek het 'n vol acro zorst op my GSA, wat glad nie sleg klink nie.  My pa het onlangs sy HD softtail vir 'n R1200C, (die cruiser) ingeruil. Ry heerlik, klink egter soos 'n delivery bike! Weet iemand waar ek 'n...
