After a recent trip from Gauteng to East London, my Navigator V changed its internal date to March 2000.  The time is still correct but the day and date is totally off.  I tried a reset - no joy.  Date was still wrong before and after restoring back-up. I noticed the problem when I looked at...

I am looking for a centre stand for a BMW 650 Dakar.  Can anybody help, please?

Dear Experts, I will soon be relocating from France to South Africa and was hoping you could help me with a question I have: My GPS is loaded with Europe maps and updates etc are geographically ring fenced.  On a visit to SA I enquired at Cape Union Mart who said that you can buy the SA maps...

Dear Dawgs, Would anybody know if the LED headlamp for the South African bikes is different to those for the parts of the world where they ride on the right hand side of the road? The part number that I could get for the USA is 0163128526016.  Actually, all the micro fiches that I could access...

I see for 2017 BMW is introducing new trim and models, among other a GS Rally with enhanced off-road ability (apart from the 'interesting' colour scheme).  I found it on youtube but my fifties model year does not allow for imbedding and such - sorry.

My question to the experts: Does Basecamp run better on PC than on Mac?  I think there are different functionalities between the two systems.  I use Basecamp on a Mac and have not seen the PC version in real life, only on the youtube demos where the two seem slightly different.  I think the...

Can anybody please help me to 'ignore' a waypoint on a planned route in the Navigator V?  It has happened on more than one occasion that I plan a trip and put in a waypoint on the trip but because I don't know the areas too well, the waypoint is sometimes inconveniently located. When riding...

Is there anybody out there that can share the manual for the LATEST (2014+) alarm on the LC?  I could only find one for the older models.  On the keyless models, the FOB (remote) works the alarm.  It looks different from the remote for the older models.  It also has two buttons but I could not...

If you want to see all the details about your own, or another bike, go to www.bmwarchive.org/ and fill in the VIN. It shows everything the bike left the factory with (but it is in German, so you may have to translate). And you can also choose to receive all the information in a PDF file. Quite...

I presently live is a big city and it is best to get out of it by using the freeways and then later I turn onto the back roads.  I almost always use the GPS because there are many roads here and you can easily get lost, not to speak of the confusion of one ways and time restrictions.  I know...

Actually I have two questions here.  First is what is the actual price in SA (now) to get an LC/LC Adv?  I am talking about all the farkles that come with the bike too such as BMW boxes, inners for the panniers, GPS, gearshift pro, all the usual options witout which the bike is just not what it...

Where did the about 10 pages of posts go??  :peepwall: I did not recognise any stepping on toes or is there more to it?  It was still here this morning...

I sold my GSA before we re-located to France and now I am wondering if I did not make a mistake. I had a look at the second-hand market here and the same bike I sold is advertised here for about R30k more.  I was somewhat surprised since it is so much closer to the source. However, I am not...

So when last have you sold, or bought, a bike? I recently sold mine due to a change in work environment and storage is just not an option. Firstly, if you are thinking about selling, you have to determine the price.  Any reasonable price you have in mind, take that and subtract at least 15%...

So the time has come to let go of the GSA due to temporary relocation abroad.  I have dropped the price and this is now surely a good deal.  What do you think? I added one more picture with the jungle gym attached.  However, the topbox is not for sale. Here's what I have: Red GSA with full...

Is it true that the 1200GSs have the same brakepads on the rear wheel than the 650s have on the front. I am due for new one at the back and this knowlegde may be handy when I do shopping somewhere different from the agents. LeCap - how about a moment to share your encyclopedic knowledge?

So to all you knowledgeable techno geeks out there - when will we see a helmet with a heads-up display on the market?  Something like the new luxury cars have that projects all the info in your field of vision and warns you of pedestrians or animals or anything that emits infra red in the...

So after three odd years my GSA's bateery died on me last night just as I want to leave work for home.  Everything lighted up and as I press the start button it just made 'click' and then everything was dead.  Got a lift home and came back with the car and tried to jump start but I don't have...

Read below and see why you are more prepared for your daily challenges. Although Yamaha participated in the study, they did not provide scientific proof that Yamaha riders are more clever than the rest of us  :biggrin: Kyodo News International: A Tohoku University, Japan, study group and...

So, I was at Justbiketyre in Centurion today and got myself two new tyres for the bike.  By the way, they have a special on for an Anakee combo front and back for R2000.00 (for those who are not so chicken to admit that they still use dual purpose tyres  :patch:) The service was very good from...
