I checked, the pressure gauge alarm value is fixed, you cannot adjust it, so you are sitting in basically the same boat there. And yes, that tyre valve angle is the way every bike should have been.

It is a sort of protective cover. There is some tank in there, but it is difficult to see because Triumph, unlike everybody else, went through the trouble of covering all open panel pieces. They call it Infill Panels.

I would have loved to give you an informed opinion on all those, the problem is that I have not ridden alll those with the view to give them a proper review. I personally was very interested in the Honda for instance. But they did not see fit to invite the Wilddogs to a launch. Which is sort of...

The base price for the bike is right at R144 500. The price on  the panniers is in the region of R7400. And you are right, no more replacing a pannier when you damage it, the individual panels are seperately replace-able. Here is a pic.

As some of you may know I attended the launch of the new 2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 last week in Magaliesburg. I would also like to thank Arnold Olivier of Triumph SA for giving the Wilddogs an opportunity to have a first hand look at this new DS flagship for Triumph. Before we get going...

Forks and front wheel sold.

I have not opened it because the bolts are rusted fast. I am not overly lus to break them off and drill out and so on.

Maybe the two I have ridden then had a fueling problem that is not common in all 690's. Good to hear.

Finally someone says it. I watch thread after thread making out like the 690 is the best thing since sliced bread. And on paper it does look good, that amount of power, the weight, the switchable engine mapping etc puts it in it's own class but I do not want one for free. The fueling is...

Wow, you are right about the good price. I did not see a 640 Adventure on their list though. Which one did you get?

Mostly because it looks cool.

Heading says it all. I am looking for an exhaust si;encer for a KTM 640 Adventure.

Leon, These are the good ones off the E model, adjustable for compression and rebound. I am under the impression it is a 2003, I attach a pic of the vin so you can check. The forks are in a good condition, except that the dust covers look a little cracked, you may want to replace them...

Front forks including triple clamps R5000 Rear shock absorber R2500 Set of wheels including discs R4000 Digital speedo R 1500 All of the above a thumbsuck, make an offer if the price is not to your liking.

I normally get 19km/l, but I ride like a doos. Most people should get a lot better.

The fuel economy on the Versys is better than on the 1200. Parts prices I don't know. It never needs them. I have 40 odd thousand kms on it now and have only ever had to change the oil filter. The air filter is washable. I put higher & wider bars on. R800 will sort you out. This bike is just...

I have both the 1200GS and the Versys. I got the Versys for the exact same reason as you are now looking around. I wanted to save the kilos on the R100k bike and rather put it on a R50k bike. Between the two, the 1200 is the better commuter. The low revs, the torque and the excellent screen...

Verstaan nie die vraag nie. Alle 640's kom van die fabriek af reeds roadworthy. Hoekom sal 'n kit nodig wees?

Well, slaat my met 'n nat snoek! Dogs can rise from the dead.

The one is Mathebeng Pass just before you drop down to Sehlabathebe National Park. The other, if I recall correctly, is just past Sehonghong. This is the one that may be problematic for someone without confidence, it is steep, loose, cambered and can lead to a runaway for a newby. The road is...
