I never overtightened the caps, it is very clear on the instructions. As said I have an older one that is not leaking after about 7 years of use. The new ones, both of them leaked from day one. Seems that the threads in the cap and on the outlet does not match. The replacement caps are even...

Also have an older Desert Fox fuel bladder, around 7 years old. Not leaking at all at the cap. With the newer ones it seems that the cap and spout threads are not matching, the new caps that I got are even worse. Loose or over tightening them makes no difference. There is noticeable difference...

Have 2 newish (1 x 2 years and 1 x 1 year old) Desert Fox fuel bladders. The caps from new did not fit well, seems that the threads on the cap and spout does match 100%. Both are leaking, got 2 new Desert Fox caps last week and they do not fit at all. Now use them with a checkers plastic bag as...

Can confirm the white ones are faster, do Windhoek - Cape Town (1,490km) in around 10-11 hours. They are super comfortable and 12 hours in the seat a non event. Never had any trouble/breakdowns to date with mine. 80% of all my travels is gravel and yes they handle gravel like a much lighter...

Thanks, Will inform my brother in law. He is in Cape Town.

Do you have the red key? My brother in law might be interested.

British now made in China if I am not mistaken. Met a Chinese couple in Windhoek early December 2021 who are on a world trip on 2 Crosby`s. Were on their way to Cape Town from Egypt. They were finished touring Asia and Europe already if I understand their English correctly. If I remember...

Do you a spare key? The missing key may cost more than the bike if it was a coded key. Glad that you found the bike.

Search for the driving forces behind the good BMW sales world wide for the last year and than there will be a better understanding of the increase in BMW motorcycle sales. The increased sale were mainly driven by 3 factors. This excludes good after sales service and marketing. I do not ride a...

As  far as I know,the width of a bike is measured over the handle bars. My XT1200Z is 625mm wide over the side covers and 700mm over the crash bars.

Only watched episode 2, getting moer tired of watching them standing on the pegs for 6,900 miles of the 6,000 mile trip.

No, It do not feel like I am "falling" over the bike. No handle bar risers also. They made me stand too up right which I found uncomfortable, prefer a slight crouch when I am on the pegs. I am not a "standing" rider (another can of worms) and sit most of the time. Only on the pegs in sand &...

Being 1,96m tall, I never "fitted" comfortably on my bikes and the seating positions were awkward. Was exploring lowered foot pegs, etc. till I made my seats higher. Added 65mm on the one bike and 50mm on the other bike. Can still flat foot on both bikes, seating position on both bikes are 100%...

Master key met electronic info for immobilizer en egine. Sonder hom kan jy geen spaar sleutels maak nie en die rekenaar op die bike reset nie as dit nodig sou wees nie.

Is daar `n rooi sleutel onder die spaar sleutels?

Have 5,800km on my Dunlop Trailmax Mission rear on my XT1200Z. Brilliant tar/gravel tire under dry conditions. My travel is 80% gravel & 20% tar. On wet roads especially gravel (mud) you must be wide awake to ensure that you do not come down. I am one of the riders that keep on riding if it...

As little as possible Velcro fasteners, noting more irritating than stopping frequently to re-fasten Velcro .straps & flaps.

What is the real life sizes?
