    Husky Norden Starting hassle

    I fitted the Motobatt Hybrid battery to my 890, it has the benefit of being lighter than a lead acid battery and has 270 cold crank amps - https://www.motobatt.us/MHTZ14S-Motobatt-Battery_3 - Conrad at Offroad Cycle got it for me, they are expensive, but it's worked flawlessly and you can use...

    Mitas XT + Millage?

    I previously used the RallZ on 890 and got about 8,000km, before a side wall cut, they're really buzzy on the tar. I found the Motoz Adventure to be a good fit, not so noisy, got 11,000km's and brilliant on the dirt and technical stuff.

    Kempton Park to Middelburg MP - Gravel

    There is a really nice dirt route from the R25 to Loskop and then a section from Loskop to the Stofberg rd and then you would turn right to Middleburg, but the bridge washed away before the Stoffberg rd.

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    the 15% decline in sales from the past financial year will be a figure they wish they could achieve soon again, the situation is not going to be getting any better soon.

    KTM Durban - Contractual Termination

    Pretty much the same thing at KTM Centurion and Trax Moto - I would be bored out of my mind if I worked for any of them.

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    Another point of view on the cam shaft failure causes, makes sense as it seems in most cases it's just the one side that has the excessive wear.

    KTM Durban - Contractual Termination

    Seems to be the modus operandi of KTM, lots to say without actually saying anything.

    Securing your bike.

    LUBING YOUR CHAIN

    I use the Bel-Ray super clean chain lube spray and have very little grit flinging off onto the bike or rims. I do spray it on at least a day before a ride.

    Share your routes !!!

    I agree. I use the Ule rugged phone. What I do is plot my routes on Basecamp on my laptop, then save them to Google Drive, then super easy to access them to move to the phone.

    790/890/901 Ride Reports, Feedback, Farkles & More

    @cable tie I used them on a night ride in the forests of Swaziland last weekend and they are magic, the flexibility of the different beams and the main thing is it's daylight when they're on.
