I NOW HAVE TO SELL THE BIKE! Dead market not contributing so I am selling now for R 45 000 as is. It is with great bitter sweet sadness that I have to sell my pride and joy. After a near miss from a heart attack I am sort of forced to sell the Beast. Down side: High km reading - 112...

Just had the steering column bearings replaced on my 990s Adventure. I wanted to sell it but can't do it now. It has sprung an oil leak... sometime largish marks on cement floor, sometimes nothing, sometime just a drop. I was quoted R 7k for a new gasket set - that is without labour. Is it...

A more technical minded friend said my bikes idling may be very rich, he can smell a little bit of petrol in the fumes.

I ride a 2008 990S Adventure - orange and blue one - and have nearly 103 000km on of which I put on just over 85k.

I bought a Alpine Star Andes jacket 5 months ago, it is my second as I was very happy with the previous one after 6 or 7 yeras. Anyway, a week or two ago the main zip on the jacket got stuck and then kept on sticking - I could not get out of the jacket. Extremely annoying and embarrassing to say...

Looking at getting myself a manner of answering my phone (mainly clients looking for me) when on the bike and listening to music on the long road. Was advised by Shorty from Biking Accessories to look at the Spirit setup. Anybody with experience of this? Recommendations on something similar...

Was given one  when I mentioned planning dirt road riding. I know it is old but apparently still working well. Has the maps update for life as I understand it but 2 questions please: 1. Can one program/plan dirt road riding with it and if so, how?  and 2. Is it worthwhile keeping or should I...

Hi everyone, my 990 s is leaking fluid from the rear brake cylinder. Do I have to replace the whole master kit and is it difficult to do? Can one clean the inside or better to replace? Thanks for your input.
