In Aug this year, I hooked my trailer and took a trip out to Ermelo to see a man about a bike. The pictures looked pretty good and after exchanging some info with the seller, I decided to chance a trip and see if it was as good as it looked. 05 Dakar with 47000km. Up close and personal, it...

Bought a pair on Ali Express about a year back, and they delivered the wrong ones. Got the correct ones but have no use for these. If you can use them, they are for collection in Pretoria East

The world certainly has changed with the introduction of velcro, but is it all its made out to be. I find that after a season of riding, the velcro ties are worn out on gloves, jackets etc. What is the solution here? Do you replace it all the time, or are there better options?

I'm going to add a secondary brake light on my Dakar, probably on the back of the top box, and use the GS100A modulator on it, just to attract more attention from inattentive drivers. Does anyone know if this is legal in SA? I dont really want to attract the attention of the local constabulary...

This is not specific to these bikes, but since I'm working on them, I'll put it here. I am busy putting 2 x F650 Dakars' back on the road after they have both been standing for more than 10 years. They were stored indoors in a dry environment. I have progressed to the stage where I need to...

I have a friend who bought an 05 Dakar with around 50 000km, some 15 or 16 years ago. Then within a year, he bought an 06/07 with less than 10 000km, because he wanted something "newer". Neither of them got ridden more than 1000km, and for the past 10-12 years have stood in his garage. I have on...

So my TPM sensors take the CR2050HR battery which it seems is made for purpose for these devices. Does anyone know where I can source 2 in SA. Google has not found any. I dont really want to import as that will take time, and my tyres are off currently so I'd like to replace before I fit them again.

I had my house rented out for a few years, and am now doing some maintenance in order to sell. The water has been off for a few months as I've been doing the maintenance, but now when I switched it all on, I notice that water is dripping from a conduit into the gutter. I have not been into the...

Hi guys. The one Zip on my easy overs has gone South. Anyone know where I can source a 120cm heavy duty zip. It seems most repair places dont stock anything that long. I thought of tent repair places, but they use longer zips. Ideally in Gauteng. Thanks

So I have a friend who wants to sell his 2006 F650 Dakar. I'm kinda looking for one on the side, but I have a conundrum. I want to offer him a fair price, but I'm not sure what that is due to the bike's current state. I went with him when he bought the bike about 12 years ago, so I know the bike...
