Thanks for the condolences. The springs were fitted by the previous owner. Apparently very worthwhile but I’m not sure where he got them from.

Sold off the forum. A sad day, but maybe at another time I can try again.

Scooter has sold off the forum.

Thanks. I will be including a kit of new genuine Yamaha v-belt, rollers/sliders worth over R3700, for when replacement is necessary.

Taking a chance and advertising a scooter under “bike related”… I have a very clean specimen I’ve been commuting on. Only 18000km on the clock. Nov 2017 model. Same scoot was selling new for R105 000 last year. I’m hoping for R55 000. Also advertising my DR so we’ll see which sells first. This...

Thanks! I’ll go with them then. One good option beats no options😃

Only done about 14000km.

So my DR has me stumped. It stood for a few weeks and the stock petcock leaked. It won’t fire up, just cranks over. Getting spark but not sure if it’s strong enough. Removed side stand switch, bypassed clutch safety switch. Replaced petcock with a Raptor one. Rebuilt carb. Air screw 1 3/4 turns...

Looks like I’m sorted. Thanks.

Hi. I’m looking for the stock BST 40 carb for my DR650. Or at least a float assembly for the carb, if anyone has one available. In Pretoria East. Thanks!

I know this isn’t really an offroader but looking for a twist and go commuter. If anyone out there is selling one of these please let me know. Preferably Gauteng. Thanks. Oh ate 3 for 1 double 7 4 double 5.
