R69,500

My son has departed for the tropics and left his bike with me to sell for him. Recently serviced and new cam chain, camshaft and camshaft bearings fitted by Fast KTM (invoice available). Extras included are: 1) Akrapovic exhaust, 2) luggage rack and luggage plate (note that one of those bolts...

How do you find the HT on the back. Marc has been moaning about this tire as it is so noisy on the tar. He says he will never put another one on the T7.

This area looks fantastic. Are these all private farms?

How come he knows your size?

Marc, at only 3 weeks you should do a little happiness dance around the vines. I recently needed a new camshaft for the 701, that was more like a 8 week wait. Parts just were not available from the factory and no branch in the country had stock. But, look on the bright side, with issues like...

@2StrokeDan - Thanks, is the the cost per rim or for both of them (about R600 for the polishing, and about 450 for the gold anodising)?

What did that cost you? I want to clean up my son's 690 before I sell it and wonder if this is worth it.

In 1979 somewhere in the middle of the Sudan I fried the clutch of my XT500. These days one should immediately take to Facebook and rant at Yamaha about their poor design. In those days I accepted that it was my fault and put the bike on a train to Wau, then found a big lorry on to Juba and...

Thanks @Scalpel, I am actually still looking for a Coyote.

Nice write up and my hat off to those of you who choose a bigger than needed bike to tackle that area.

Van der Stel pass just before the T-junction. Highlands road

Hopefully the further clarification below helps.

This guy did a little bit of work to see how to set it easily. I use his method now and it works perfectly for me. Search for "chain tension" in KTM 790 890 / Norden 901 Adventure owners on Facebook. (photos belong to the original poster on Facebook).

I have seen those gears melt after the clutch on my bike had been abused before I bought it. Luckily it was a minor melt/distortion only and they kept functioning until they were replaced by new (standard) plastic ones. I would not bother to upgrade these. There are quite a few videos on...

Thanks, good write up. Definitely has me looking at options for a ride like that at reasonable cost.

You have no idea how right you are with that statement. There I was, riding on my own through the Angolan bush some years ago and somewhat lost. A local herdsman on a Chinese delivery bike, slipslops and a kind of wraparound sheet/skirt type of thing comes from the other side. Next moment he...

You are right, there is a big difference there. The Yamaha one has survived 50 years and is not broken compared to the Husky one not have made it in one piece to 7 years old.

Well done for retrieving the pont and crossing the river. There is no way I would go across. But then, we have the option to choose the good times of the year for it.

You do realise that as I read the start of your post my heart leaped with joy only to stop after reading the "Unfortunately this one is not for sale ". I have tried your technique several times as well but nothing yet.
