    640 Handlebar Vibration

    I don't have any experience with them but they seem to work for some people and not for others. I would try rubber cones for the handlebar mounts and some good pillow top grips. Both should be an easy and cheap thing to try.

    Katie aka Pumpkin

    No, no, it has to be a female name. My friend's Husaberg FE350 is called Jasmine. My SWM RS 300 R is called Betty. Had black plastics from factory so was called Black Betty. Then exchanged the plastics for white ones and became Betty White. Settled for just Betty in the end :ROFLMAO:

    CRF450L stolen in broad daylight Muizenberg

    A 450L is pretty much unobtanium in SA.

    Wanted Yamaha YZ 85 Waterpump impeller shaft

    I am looking for a water pump impeller shaft for my son's 2010 YZ 85. New it is quite an expensive part. Wondering if someone has one lying around from a bike that gave up the ghost.

    Wa die manne met die harde gatte?

    As die bike gemaak is vir afstand is dit easy. My Virago trip was MOEILIK maar ek het van Durbanville tot in Centurion gery (1500km) in een go met my Aprilia Caponord en dit was baie maklik en baie vinnig. Dit was ook in die winter en daar was bitterlik min karre op die pad. Gedeeltes deur die...

    Wanted 125 Dirtbike & advice - updated to 250

    I rode the 2023 KTM 150 on a demo day and was surprised at how much power it had down low.

    Wa die manne met die harde gatte?

    I did not go nearly as far but I did do Hermanus to Roodepoort in one go on my old Yamaha Virago 535 with it's tiny little tank in the middle of July. I had to stop at every single petrol station. Left Hermanus at 05:00 and got to Roodepoort some time after 02:00, almost 22 hours later. The cold...

    Wanted 125 Dirtbike & advice - updated to 250

    My son's first bike was a DR-Z125, which we still have and my younger son is moving onto it now. It is a great little bulletproof bike. It won't win any races, and don't do jumps but it is a very reliable, low maintenance, fun and good looking bike. They can be had in good condition for around...

    Anyone used a smart / fitness watch for navigation ?

    Petal Maps has turn-by-turn navigation on my watch but it still only relays that from the phone. I have only tested if it works but have never really used it.

    The 300L will bore the hell out of you after riding a KTM 500.

    Yamahas T7 Re-coating rims

    Then it is/was not anodizing. Anodizing actually colours the outside layer of the metal so the "coating" itself cannot chip unless the actual metal has a chip or gouge in it.

    Yamahas T7 Re-coating rims

    I also think they are powder coated and not anodized. Anodizing cannot chip.

    Yamahas T7 Re-coating rims

    Hard to tell from the photos but those look like stone chips. Unfortunately you get those from riding on tar as well. I'll rather not post photos of my rims after this...
