n Air-cooled bike is in fact oil-cooled, n kleinerige persentasie van die hitte (iets soos 12%) word deur die vinne op die head gedissipeer. Iets soos n kettingsaag is 100% air-cooled, maar hy het natuurlik nie n ratkas nie

I think you either get used to it or not. One thing from my rally days: the Upington team used to race with MX jerseys over armour, the guys from Gauteng and the Cape used to have trick vented rally jackets. They always kakked. I think for dirt touring, a jacket will just make you miserable...

Net nie dié een nie

Had one as a demo for a weekend. Cut out on the N14 while I was overtaking a truck. Something about not running it full taps in the warrentee mode/ long service interval setting. Something like that, I forget. Crazy. Shit thing nearly killed me there. Another thing I remember was front and rear...

Since it might not be homologated, it think it will take a long time to sort the paperwork to import/register it here and then sell it. But I know nothing about this.

At least he had decent taste those years, not this Bidvest Namby Pamby Yamaha drivel that he pushes nowadays

All Balls make a kit. Contact Glen at Motohut, he will source it if there’s stock

I was allergic to bees. 1 sting would cause havoc. Carried a medic-alert tag. Got stung by a swarm. Long story. Wife thought I was going to die. Literally nothing happened to me other than that since then they don’t sting me anymore. No explanation. Must say, she gave me a tongue lashing for the...

And an old man’s bike, you know, the ones that does not vibrate due to the masses involved

Ek het myne op 30k km met gasket maker bygekom. Het nog 70k km so gery. Het dit naweek lank laat droog raak.

High heat gasket maker will seal 1mm without problems, absorb vibrations and misalignment. Buy grey Midas sensor safe, it will blend right in

Look if it has this lable on the overflow bottle

This sounds like the silikat bag in the coolant bottle that ruptures and blocks the radiator. Known issue

The silicone J mounts are much easier on a GPS with less ultimate protection when you crash. Everybody in my racing circle switched to J mounts

Commiserations

I have a 450x standing at a dealership in Upington. Currently in rally spec, but all of those things can be removed. Bike is licensed and on the road, the rally stuff is required to do the roadworthy. The 250 is only 6 kg lighter and the same height, for what its worth

When the tank is empty, your bike will be jittery again. If the issue is weight on the front wheel, add preload to the rear shock spring or swop in a heavier spring. That will settle the stance

Unless its a KTM 350

I had one made up for a CRF450X. Bought several metres of red heatshrink which I shrinked in layers until it was stiff (and red)
