    My WARR2022/23 - Richtersveld trips, prep and execution.

    I run one of those 5L cans on my bike, if you are looking for a nice mounting solution contact Flying Brick for a screw on mount that passes through that centre hole. Very sturdy and convenient…can’t remember the cost though. Have attached a pic of it mounted on my bike

    Getting a kid on a bike

    Thought I would update this thread…he loves his “superbike”, taking to it like a duck to water. Took me a while to find kiddy-sized gear, just still looking for boots, in the meantime the gummie are doing the job. He will probably outgrow the 12.5 Oset by early next year, then I will have to...

    Metzeler Karroo 3......Yay or Nay??

    Seeing as I can’t edit: my rear has done 8k so far, can safely do another 1k I think. That is on a 990. Done Tankwa/R355/Karoo/Baviaan trips…no punctures so far, so I don’t think they are particularly prone to punctures.

    Metzeler Karroo 3......Yay or Nay??

    At the price of something like a K3, you may as well give it a try. If you don’t like it…after 5k km it will have done its job and you can replace it, and if you like it…well then you know. Personally, I have found the K3 to be a good tyre (I have no experience with the other options). Almal het...

    Gear

    I am a fan of FB Marketplace, have bought w few nice bits on there for a good price. Just be vigilant as per all other online platforms, and I only buy local where I can inspect the goods. See example attached of a good quality suit. Nothing quite as unpleasant as being cold on a ride

    950 Waterpump kit

    Ok….so the “Tsunami kit” is simply an upgrade of the impeller to increase the flow in the cooling system👍But does not adress the serviceable items like the shaft etc. Soooo…would these bikes really benefit from an upgraded impeller under normal use? In my mind at least I feel like it’s a bit...

    Now that this thread is resurrected…what did the waterpump kit cost from KTM? Will probably have to do this one preventatively early next year

    Bain's Kloof

    Went through there Sunday morning early…a few Porsches came up hitting apexes like it was Killarney, no lines painted so I guess the think the biggest vehicle has right of way on the entire width. Surface is something to be proud of though, they did an excellent job on it and I hope it lasts

    Rattling brake discs

    Rattling brake discs

    So….as appears to be a common problem, my front discs are rattling like hell. Alot of free movement, probably more than 2-3mm fore-aft. I am looking for some advice about the best solution: 1. Have the bobbins replaced by GM Works (R100 each, R1200 total), if the carrier not too buggered 2...
