    For Sale TuneECU

    TuneECU cable and software for 690/990 and Triumph I believe. Software support for the KTMs has stopped, so getting tricky to get a download. This comes with the software on a CD. I used it on a couple if 990s, a 690 and a very early 1190. As I see as many 1290s as 990s, I needed to go a...

    Anybody have any of these available? They are required to insert the split bearings into the case. Not sure its doable without them, unless anybody has other experiences? #34 and 35

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    Could not find an air filter from the agents for an XTR last year. Had to wait for 6 weeks. Client did not want to go aftermarket. BMW parts can also be tricky if there is not a dealership in town. I use Goldwagen for F8GS and R12GS service parts

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    KTM 2 strokes have 2.5 times the ground clearance. The 2 Dakar KTMs I look after have the exhaust pass underneath the footpeg, not the motor, so its parralel to the bottom of the motor and has 3 times the ground clearance of an XTR. My Cagiva Elefant had an exhaust below the motor, but it also...

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    Ok, first time I’ve heard that closing an exhaust on a rock makes it an acceptable technical terrain bike, but I guess anything is possible. The bike has almost zero ground clearance, even disregarding the exhaust. I had some thumpers as rental unit and I still have a regular that comes in for...

    I have taking an XT660R on a technical ride. The exhaust pipes run underneath the motor. They were flatter afterwards. It also feels seriously long

    For Sale F800GS protection combo

    Hyde plastic hi-coverage bashplate and a set of crashbars that I cannot remember the brand of. But I do know at the time of putting them on, I was not financially constrant, so I chose what I thought was best, not cheapest. The crashbars have all bolts but the washers that fits into the upper...
