...did not delete the origin of the post from which it was copied (re: George Yamaha on facebook) - it's still out there in the public domain. What did the mod achieve by unilaterally wiping an entire thread without so much as a pm to explain the action? Poor form, mate. Anyway, I guess it's...

323mm max wear limit on a KLR 520 chain, measured centre to centre on a 21 pin length, laid out and pulled tight. Can be done in place too, if you have space

There's a seal type washer under the cover bolt. They're about 70 bucks each. If you're not going to replace it just check that the bolts are torqued up, not loose. Don't over-tighten, they strip easily. Obviously, check clean it up and check for cracks etc

Use a small USB charger and wire it onto the ram mount power cable using an old USB cable

Only check the bolts and screws etc that have threads. The rest, you can leave

According to the maintenance and lube schedule, suspension linkage should be lubed at 10 000km intervals. If yours was serviced by a dealer at 10k and they failed to do it, you may have a case.

Hi Dawgs Has anyone else experienced chronic failure of this make gear? Bought these rods new from a dealer just over a year ago. After one ride, had to send the things to a tailor to get the velcro adjustment tabs re-stitched, they fell off. They have steadily deteriorated over 12 months to...

I use No Toil filter oil, comes with a bio-degradable solvent that looks like soap powder. I dissolved the glue on a filter once by using the solvent in hot water, re-glued the filter successfully with bostik fuel-resistant gasket maker. The no-toil solvent is quick, no mess, leaves the filter...

Give Wessel from African Stuff a call on 0836406693. He often has used units on trade-iñ at very good prices. He'll courier to you, and he's trustworthy.

Usually just fill your own 44 gal drum or drums and call them when you need them emptied

https://www.theoldoilman.co.za/AboutUs.aspx Holy crap...the feller is still around  :laughing4: Used to pay for the old oil. We tossed brake fluid, cleaning paraffin and all sorts of crap into the drums but he had a float system to determine what was usable to him, and paid accordingly

There was a bloke called "The old oil man" when I was an Alfa grease monkey on Hendrik Verwoerd Dr...but that was back in the 80's

N17 W15 would plant you somewhere in Mauritania I think (I've had a couple of pints during the cricket) so that's obviously your panel orientation, not your location. Regardless, the earth's address system and the manner of GPS identification of these unique addresses is easy to understand if...

That Garfield dic probably took the trolley  :lol8:

The minus sign in front of lat denotes that it is in the southern hemisphere

Pooratech ammeter... Wire up a 12v globe in series. When it goes dim, the battery isn't drawing current any longer, then disconnect.

Black smoke is usually an over-rich mixture, white smoke is oil. If it's too rich, the plug fouling will be dry or dry-ish. Broken ring usually causes wet fouling. Start with basics like air filter before you move to the carb, don't forget to replace the plug with the correct one, and gap it...

Thank you, that's what I meant. The data cable doesn't contain power input, the quest obtains power via external contacts on the back of the unit.

If you put 12v into a Quest it'll pop. Install a 12v cigarette lighter power socket on the bike, insert a USB charger (50 bucks from Midas), cut an old pc usb cable up - insert one end into the USB charger and solder the other end, red and black wires, to your Quest power cable

Might as well send Danie's number to the bin - he's leaving the program for greener pastures. For the record, the pilot in the picture is Sean, Durban-based. Danie flies (flew) out of Richard's bay. The quickest way to get aeromedical support is to call 10177 and request assistance. The DOH...
