I have imported my tanks and a number of tanks for customers from Justgastanks.com  IMS and Acerbis have rather crappy filler caps. (Get billet aluminium one!). The fuel taps which come with some of teh tanks are also rather cheap and none of then has the auto shut safety feature of OEM. You can...

OEM is more like 12. I have Clarke tanks on two of my bikes. The two litres extra make all the difference.

The length of the spring is primarily determined by what suspension travel it has to support. Beyond that also by the quality of the spring steel. Cheaper springs will be longer and made from thicker wire. If your springs are 495mm free length and if they actually are aftermarket KLR springs...

Which way around is dictated merely by the attempt t oreduce unsprung mass. Besides that it does not matter.

I repair the hubs professionally, have stock (Both for 3.5mm spokes and 4mm spokes) and can build you the wheel. Hell I even have stainless Moose Racing spokes. Hub in exchange for your old one ZAR 1,800.

Contrans Logistics in Cape Town. I had a friend doing a one way trip Cape To Windhoek in 2016. I had pre - arranged for him to drop the bike at their warehouse in Windhoek. Collected teh bike from the Caope Town Warehouse a week later. R1,500 if I remember correctly. They are reluctant to accept...

The DR200 is very light which makes things easy for a small person. Much better performance than any of the AG  bikes like Bushlander and TW (which is pap and has no suspension to make things worse). The low F650GS nmentioned somewhere above is teh wrong bike for the job (slow off road). No...

There is not any appreciable amount of mud as in clay which would make the riding treacherous anywhere in theCederberg. All you have is wet & soaked gravel and a bit of sand between Eselsbank and Wupperthal. Some flooding and one low water bridge which you should NOT attempt if there is a lot of...

You will need some fairly sensible adjustable capillary dampers. Manometers will bounce around like crazy even teh pricey oil filled ones. In Cape Town try Craig's in 2 Koeberg Road Maitland I am sure they have and most likely also a kit with only two gauges.

Could someone with reliable recent first hand information please shed some light: I need to change ownership of three vehicles from a deceased estate to the heirs. Do i need RWC's for the vehicles? It's not on the list of red tape the oke at Enquiries wrote up. I am not sure if he thought that's...

The generic switch clusters are somewhere between plain cheap and absolute rubbish. I would rather use  a second hand Japanese switch in decent condition before I use any of the ones Startline sells. The hazard light switch might require some changes to your electrics.

It's worthwhile to check if your bike tends to stall on hard decel. to a stop. if it does that remove the tamper proofing from the idle mix adjustment screw nd back the screw out 1/8 of a turn. Besides that lift the main jet needle by half a clip height by inserting a 3mm washer (standard 0.5mm...

I found that with almost each and every aftermarket fuel tap. Acerbis for example have a breakage prone tap lever which is an integral part of the tap valve and this makes sure that if it breaks it will leave you with your petrol draining into your boots. Also the only reason why the expensive...

On its way!

I remember that JustGasTanks did have a warning about exactly this issue on their website. The US - manufactured tanks will usually ship within a week to ten days if there is no stock. Ifthey are in stock they ship the next day. Different story with Acerbis. Since Acerbis fit like shite and are...

You get repair kits for the OEM tap

Confirm I can get you an EBC for R 3,000 Takes about two weeks.

I can get you one. Must check for prices. Might be slightly cheaper than Nodico. EBC with DOT / KBA approval and floating disc like the OEM. Got one on one of my own bikes. Let me know if you still need one but please e-mail (address in my profile)

I am getting another KL 650 A going to break it for parts due to substantial chassis damage. Engine running.

General rules for dry sump oil system. : Fill up oil some 3/4 of total or as much as the tank will take. Run engine until warm (liquid cooled: Fan comes on, air cooled: Min. 15 minutes) Do NOT put the bike onto the side stand before switching off. Check oil level and top up as necessary. Due to...
