TIL the 1290 uses brake fluid for the clutch. 990 uses mineral oil.

I'm not going to name names...

Just for extra info, retail price in the UK is £600 (R14300) for the plain colours and £700 (R16700) for the pretty ones. I'd offer to send one as a "gift" to a WD buyer but it's actually more expensive, even without import duties :ROFLMAO:

Yorkshire’s great! Beautiful part of the world. I’ve only managed some commuting riding so far; 45 minute ride into Leeds. I’ve upgraded my kit to suit the rain and cold; all good. Planning a big day out on the bike next weekend; going to ride the Yorkshire moors flat and see how lost I can...

I’m hunting for a replacement cover for the centre cubby on my 990 and stumbled upon this item listed on EBay UK, apparently selling from the Netherlands. Very curious. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126261507919

Last pic shows the extra nut spacer I used to lift the top box plate by a few millimetres, needed to clear the mounting bracket for the pannier racks. And yes I know my one exhaust pipe is lower than the other…

I don’t really have any good detailed pics with the panniers in place, but here’s what I have.

They’re great! My only complaint is mounting square shaped panniers can be tricky because the racks are triangle shaped. Not a deal-breaker though; my square wolfman panniers were plenty secure. The racks themselves are very well made; they were used to drag my bike around on the side of a...

As long as you remember to have the Garmin Drive app running on your phone then this works pretty well. I've found the traffic updates on my Zumo XT to be a little behind Google maps but not by much. I like that it tells you the weather to expect along the route too; helps avoid that...

Yes. Harry Metcalfe has an unbelievable collection of vehicles.

We can be doubtful and hopeful at the same time

Correct sir! Highly recommended

One of the best camping spots I've ever experienced

Maybe just over-tightened? I'd go over every nut & bolt on that bike with a torque wrench now...

Bradford!? We're (probably) moving to Harrogate...an hour away. £156 seems really cheap too. Thank you sir! I reckon that's my plan.

My 2008 990 Adventure’s rear shock decided to relieve itself of oil half way into Old Mill Drift recently. Granted I was loaded with camping stuff but it’s premature in my opinion. This happened a few years ago and I got @superfoxi to re”do” it for me, but I think maybe it’s time for a...

This is just re-branded RAM hardware and will be compatible with any RAM mount for whatever GPS etc. Top quality stuff; worth every penny. Does it strictly consist of the parts in the pic or is there a clip for the actual GPS?

A week ago I did Joburg to Viliiers on the N3, then R26 to Frankfort, Reitz, Bethlehem. There's serious roadworks on the R26 between Frankfort and Reitz and you have to ride along a gravel side-road thing they've graded. It's easy dirt with one or two spots of loose gravel. I can only think it...

Just bought myself the K-Lite 600 down jacket and a Felix Softshell 2 Eco jacket; R2200 combined. I went with the two instead of one beefy jacket for the sake of versatility. The down jacket fits nicely under the soft shell. Layers, onion-boy! I'm riding through Clarence/Old Mill/Golden Gate on...
