I have a Akro for sale for a KTM 690. Never been fitted or used so brand new! As far as I know it will fit to the lastest model. Can courier otherwise I’m in the Northcliff area. Contact me at (oh)83 two68zero13nine

I’ve been rebuilding a 1150 GS for a while (a few years now [emoji85]) and now have some parts I want to sell. I’ve removed the entire front end of the bike so most of it available. The bike was definitely used so expect some scratches etc. but there are still some good parts to be had. I’ll...

I picked up a bottle of this stuff. I was told that Tyre Shield is not being imported into the country and the spares guy waxed lyrical about this stuff.  Anyone had experience with this? I rather hate punctures and found Tyre Shield worked well for me so hoping this can take its place. I use...

I see this is on again this year and I’m very keen. I’ve been onto their Facebook page but there is limited info there, well enough to get me super interested, but I’d like some more info about the event. Can anyone comment further, what’s included, transport back to Jozi, fuel range etc...

I have for sale 5 litres of Motul 7100 10W40 engine oil. I bought and had it delivered to me by accident to find out it really is not the right stuff. I can courier to your door if needed for R95. Price R800, which means you make a small saving.

I have a 1150 GSA in the garage as a project. I’m at the point of wanting to look at filling her up and replacing  all the fluids. It’s been a while since my days with a 1200 and a dry clutch. Can one use normal wet clutch engine oil that I normally use in my off road bikes?

I’m looking for a replacement exhaust header for a KTM 300 2012/2013, original or aftermarket but secondhand. Anyone have one from after an upgrade or just collecting dust?

As in the heading. I’m looking for an Xramp. I sold mine previously. Anyone have one you want to let go, PM me.

I really hope someone can help me with this one. At the start of a ride or when cooled my front brake lever feels good with some leverage before it kicks in however when I start using the front brake it starts firming up to almost no movement before it kicks in. I'm worried it will keep going...

I'm trying to replace my lower plugs on my 1150 GSA however none of the 3 sockets I have actually fit into the hole the the guys in white coats at BMW designed. I'm using actual spark plug sockets yet they don't fit. They just don't make it in enough to grab onto the plug to unscrew it. What do...

I'm looking for a place that will do cast aluminium welding (assuming it is cast aluminium) This is the rear rack off a BMW 1150. It appears to have cracked in 3 points. Can this be successfully welded? And who can do it, preferably in the Randburg area but I can courier it if need be. If...

I'm planning on riding the 690 this Sunday. Something a little technical not sure exactly where ( perhaps de wildt or just the railways tracks to Potch) but I know I will be to leaving at around 8.30. Anyone keen to join let me know. Need to be back in the afternoon so won't be too many smoke...

In the next step of my 1150 build. I have to some how support my oil cooler as the original position no longer exists. I really don't like the idea of having the somewhat sensitive cooler placed low down on the bike just waiting for some rock or stone or branch etc. to damage it. My idea I'm...

In the process of sorting out my 1150 build, as one would do I'm changing all the brake pads - which .. well needed to be done long before I took ownership [emoji85][emoji15]. So I ordered my pads with the rest of my parts from the UK. Wrong pads arrive, write them off and decided to buy some...

I'm busy rebuilding my 1150, with lets say, a lot less of its original parts. I'm currently looking at having an aftermarket speedo that has all the readouts in one place and a lot smaller. I want to know does anyone know what is the ohm (Ω) resistance the fuel gauge. As I will need to select...

Seriously where can you buy parts online. I need to get brake pads for my BMW 1150, I just can't find anywhere that one can buy pads from online. I don't have the time to go to shops (midas is the only one I can think of) for them to order the part, go back again for it to be the wrong part or...

Another Attempt at Lesotho I had promised to write this up some time ago so here it is... I have done quite a few trips around Southern Africa many in the Eastern Cape and Kwa Zulu Natal area but somehow have never managed to make it into Lesotho. Every time I attempt it there is some reason...

My mate just picked up a second-hand KTM 300. The bikes ride well but is really bogging down (almost cutting out) when revved from low, it runs fine from high revs but really struggles when compared to my 300. It's also tends to stall when coming to a stop with the clutch puled in. Anyone have...

Thanks flying brick for the great support. I lost my cap for the giant loop fuel cell. I was fairly annoyed that this happened but flying brick made sure I got my replacement and at cost to them which is great service [emoji106] Well done and thanks.
