    My 990 - General questions, learning and experience

    From my "root cause analysis"(he...he), that is what I will do. Change the bash plate and just ride it at a pace to help with air flow... Any specific preferred brands for bash plates? @LangHennie take note;)

    My 990 - General questions, learning and experience

    @Kamanya , with aftermarket bash plate I presume? Mine is still the standard and it looks very "enclosed". Anyhow, good to hear. Bike is just amazing. With the higher suspension it is just so much nicer to ride.

    My 990 - General questions, learning and experience

    I had to replace therectifier of my 2007 990 after about 30 000km. Friend Hennie's bike has less than 20 000km (2010) and now also needs replacement. From the internet this seems a standard failure for 990's...Correct or not? I read it is due to the heat exposure and some relocate it to higher...

    Any LC8 commuters?

    My 2c's My 990 with easy riding = 15km/L I find the normal Adventure seat to be very comfortable, much more comfortable than the S or R versions. (Test rode both) One of the reasons I bought the 990 Adv is to have more comfort on longer rides. You feel the width of the seat when you need to...

    What made you pull the trigger to sell your HP2

    So....I have a very long history with HP2. Had two since +-2008/9. The first one I rode like a plastic and the current one is now a garage queen.. I always thought it is/was the best big bike for me, but I must admit, I am enjoying the 990 a lot. The 990 is just so much more "comfortable" than...
