Hi Everyone, I'm selling my 1982 XR500R. The bike runs well and is in great condition. The plan was to licence it for road use so I added indicators, hi beam and a brake light. I never got round to the licencing though and so the bike does NOT have papers. Location: Cape Town Price: R16 000...

Hi everyone, I haven't been very active on the forum as since moving to Switzerland I haven't had a bike! But Lady Luck has smiled on me and I've been given the use of an Aprilia RS 125. What a pretty little thing! The only problem though is that it hasn't been ridden in 5 years... now...

Hi everyone! I haven't been active on Wilddogs for quite a while and the reason for this is the same as why I am selling my beautiful bike! I have quit my job and have moved to Switzerland to study music. Finances are getting tight over here and so I need to let my KLR - The Black Beast  :) -...

I got the long range IMS tank (uber cool) so my stock tank is up for grabs! I've got a black KLR, so the tank is grey. Perfect condition. R500 neg.

I filled my IMS long range tank up with eager expectation, "600kms plus here I come"  ;D ... or so I thought... Attie and I put on about 320km cruising to Warmbaths and back and I then took the tally to 390 commuting to work. I was chugging along merrily when at about 400 the tell tale surging...

I can see it now... "Softy", "Wuss", "Traitor to the way of the KLR"... But I shall resist! Sticks and stones gentleman! ;D My large delivery-bike-esque DIY screen works like a charm (at least it will when it's finished!) and I don't think it looks all THAT bad!  :-[ Here are the manufacturing...

Hi all! A colleague of mine is looking for a rear spring and has had no luck so he asked me if I could ask the Wilddogs (them being so knowledgeable and experienced and all ;D). He needs a... rate:                95kg/cm free length:      200-210mm inside diameter:  60mm ... rear spring. Any...

A recent off broke my rear left indicator... I thought KLRs were supposed to be tough?  >:(  ;D Does anyone in the Pretoria area perhaps have a spare to sell me? Thanks a lot! Cheers logie

Salutations everyone! I'm planning on making a tool tube for my KLR using 50mm PVC piping. The tube fits between the frame and the engine right above the front engine mount (2 triangular shaped brackets with holes in them). You have to move the water hoses out of the way, but they're quite...

A bit of advice from the KLR fundis please... I checked my valve clearances last night (procedure from Marks' KLR 650 Website) and everything was going smoothly 'til I tried to insert my smallest feeler gauge (0.05mm) between the shim and the cam and... no clearance, zip  ??? I checked all 4...

Greetings all! I'm looking at buying some goodies for my KLR and KLR650.com seems to have most things a KLR rider could ever want  ;D, and keeping all your eggs in 1 basket, as it were, makes everything much more convenient. Has anyone had any experience of buying through them? I've heard some...

I'm looking at buying a new lid in the near future and really like the idea of a MX helmet: 1. Great for dust: goggles easy to clean and tearoffs really cheap 2. Cool in summer (though admittedly cold in winter) 3. Much less fogging up and zero wind in the eyes (wind and contact lenses are not...

I went on a short ride on Saturday's blustery morning to my family's game farm near Bronkhorstspruit (we unfortunately don't own the whole place, just a small old house my grandfather built many moons ago!). I was escorting my brother-in-law and some of his family to the farm so we set off at a...

Hi all! I've been a long time lurker but now that I've finally got my bike (the choice of which was greatly influenced by this forum), I joined the ranks! Looking forward to all of the knowledge I will acquire from you guys and to many awesome rides (starting with the Newbie Introductory Ride...
