Hi Guys So its winter time again and I am looking for a way to make the charging exercise a bit easier. At the moment I charge the battery by connecting the charger directly to the battery poles, I also use this method to jumpstart the bike. For this I obviously remove the bashplate and battery...

I am officially over and done with my front rim. It has more lead on it than what I lost while angling during December. I had the rim at a number of places to try and get it round and true with no joy. In addition to this it is chewing tubes like crazy, I can see no visible problems, like...

With the price of tools these days I try and DIY as much as I can. I need to build myself a rod bender that can handle up to 10mm roundbar. Any ideas from you guys on what works, I was thinking of building something that I can attach to my bench vice. Any input would be appreciated.

As per heading. I need a single bike trailer. Sold my bakkie a while ago and do not see myself going on holiday without my bike. I am looking for one of those light weight jobbies that can store upright or something that takes up as little space as possible. Not looking to buy new. Anyone who...

Guys, a bit of help please I have a problem adjusting my rebound damping on the right front fork. As per manual you need to turn it clockwise all the way, problem is mine just keeps on turning ad infinitum and never stops. PS: got the oil service kit, for the LC8 but the oil filter differs...

Hi Dogs I have to be in Stutterheim for work next week. Anybody know of a nice place to stay, Google is not of much help. Cheers Dave

As per pics, the bike has done 15790 Km and is a 2009 model. The bike is still very clean apart from the scratches (I hit an oil spill in the rain, not a good combination). I replaced the petrol pump about 500km’s ago with a KTM one, some R5000 later. The bike was serviced around 14 000 km’s...

Hi guys I did an oil and filter change last night. I do this every 5000 km and this is the fourth or fifth one I've done on this bike. What was strange to me is that this time the bike took more oil than usual. According to manual part one is approx 2.5 liters, then run the bike till 6 bars...

Just a thank you to Dave, Brendan and Aubrey at RAD moto. I had an issue with a failed part (the work was outsourced) after a recent service. Failure happened Thursday afternoon, spoke to RAD on Friday. The bike was picked up at my place on Potchefstroom on Saturday morning and ready for...

Guys I also posted this in the bike specific section, but I think its a general problem. My search didn't turn up anything helpfull. I clean my filters quite often, this however lead to the wear of the holes in the bottom part of the box where the screws (marked “8”) go into. The seal is not...

Guys I clean my filters quite often, this however lead to the wear of the holes in the bottom part of the box where the screws (marked “8”) go into. The seal is not as tight as I want it to be. The top part is actually loose. Is there any way I can cure this, maybe a product I can put in the...

Looks like the issue is gone. RAD did a cooling system flush and bled the whole thing. Where the temp gauge was usually in the top four bars, its now running in the middle in same conditions.  :thumleft: What would the main reason be for the bike running hotter than usual? I did a 2500km...

Hi Dogs As I thought my pump on my 690 has given up. The OEM part is just over R4K. I can get one from California Cycleworks for $263 Shipping included. Is there any other alternatives out there? Any advice will be appreciated. Dave..

I need some help with an error code. I have the 4 long 1 short FI flash code. According to the manual its a interruption/short circuit to ground in fuel pump control circuit. I cannot do the 15 min idle reset as I cant get the bike running that long. Any advise would be highly appreciated! I...

I am close to giving up. I bought a 2011 KTM 530 EXC a while ago with the idea to commute to work and saving the 990 a bit. So, the model, law abiding citizen I am, I wanted to follow the correct route so I spent some money on OEM flickers, a horn etc. and took it to the local testing...
