ola fellow dogs, Recently got myself a '2006 640 adventure, and I am working through the random issues on the bike... current issue is that I am looking for a M10 contact screw. KTM tell me minimum 3 weeks. Is there any chance someone has any words of wisdom here? checked location via here...

Ola fellow wild dogs...  :ricky: any chance anyone is driving past j-bay, and heading up to Gauteng? There is a gennie I want to save from here before it disappears as more and more things are vanishing from my deceased mother's property here... If there is space, there is a tool chest on...

Hi guys and gals  :ricky: If you dig through the posts you'll see I recently had my clutch master rebuilt (upgraded with brass liner), and fitted an Oberon slave... I had also had it given a once over before lockdown at Linex Yamaha since this is where the only mechanic I trust works. (new...

Here's hoping someone can point me in the right direction :) I'm struggling with my clutch master and slave on my 990 adventure. I just received my oberon slave today - but I was hoping to replace the master too since that seal is also wearing... but not at the price KTM are asking... :xxbah...

Hi guys and gal's I'm stuck in a situation where my 990 will be my only transport for a while.... it however has a fuel leak on the high pressure line between the tank and the injectors.... Apparently 10 day lead time from  KTM - which is absolutely killing me at the moment... Does anyone have...

Hi guys and gals, So i am trying to revive my ol' 2006 Adventure S... reason I stopped using it was it developed a fuel leak. I've taken it in to be looked at - and its the high pressure line leaking at the injectors. My bike guy has tried a couple different hoses etc - and whilst its no...

Hi all, I'm looking to sell my 2007 GS1200. About 65 000 km on the clock * Washable foam air filter installed at last service * Plugs replaced with iridium equivalent plugs at last service * 55w high power xenon headlights - super clear at night - and headlight adjusted so it doesn't blind...

Ola fellow dogs  :sip: I need to service the 990 at the moment (06 model) What are my options when it comes to the oil filter? are there any other places I can get a filter from? and are there any alternative oil filter numbers etc I can search for? or is this a KTM only item? Much...

Ola fellow dogs...  :sip: So... been looking to upgrade lights on my new (to me) 2007 R1200GS.... I see some LED options claim to outperform the HID's out there... but nobody can give me details of if the huge heat sink on those things will fit in the headlight housing... and at the price - I...

Ola fellow dogs...  :sip: I'd like to have a stab at hacking my exhaust a bit... but since my GS is my daily commuter, I have my reservations about modifying the bits I want to modify and potentially stranding myself.... lol Toying with decatting the thing... possibly modifying where the...

ola fellow dogs  :sip: So, its service time at the moment.. and one of the things tweaking my OCD is the availability of the plugs.... I did some scratching around - so the standard plug options are Bosch YR5LDE or the NGK DCPR8 EKC Online I see there is an iridium equivalent plug - NGK DCPR8...

Ola fellow dogs!  :sip: So - getting used to my GS slowly but surely.... definitely want to upgrade the headlights though.... with some quick googling, I see they seem to use the H7 bulb for high and low beam... so - I am thus tempted to get this set...

Ola fellow dogs  :sip: Looking for a GPS mount that I can fit to the "new" (old) commuter I got and use my existing GPS.. really like the lockable touratech one on my 990 - but I'm a poor (cheap) bastard... lol Anyone happen to have the bracket lying around to get rid of? I dont mind if it...

Hi guys, So - having completed my 1st private sale - I now need to get the roadworthy / change of ownership done... I've unfortunately also just started a new job - so time off for this isnt really an option... Is there a place around the east rand (ideally Kempton / Edenvale sort of area -...

Right - so I am mid-mission changing bikes... the new bike doesn't have GPS - and I figure I may as well try the phone thing... I am looking for a weatherproof phone mount of sorts, that's nice and solid - doesn't shake around too much... needs to be big enough for the bigger smartphones ( I...

Ola fellow dogs, Starting a new job next month, and will be a fair bit further than my current commute... the 990 being heavy on juice and also not super-light on maintenance needs to perhaps go... Best I can think of is a 1200 BMW of sorts, and shaft driven for sure. GS / GSA being 1st prize...

Ola fellow dogs, So, meant to take a bit of a ride out from Nigel to the Natal Midlands. Was hoping to do an absolute last minute route change - and alter our path to go via a bunch of passes on: https://www.mountainpassessouthafrica.co.za/mastermap?tmpl=component Problem is - the only way I...

Hi guys and girls  :sip: So - next Friday the plan is to head down to the Natal Midlands, and ideally go via as much dirt as possible... Thats where my questions begin...   ??? 1st of all... I see multiple posts saying you cant run T4A and garmin maps at the same time.... Does this mean I...

Ola fellow dogs...  :sip: so - this is something I experienced on Sunday after taking my bike offroad for the first time in ages... and I've just experienced it 5 min ago on my way to work... given that I commute I figured the quickest way to a likely answer was tapping into the wealth of...

Ola fellow dogs... So - I am one of those guys that keeps writing the damn learners... forgetting about it... and realising when its lapsed that I now have to re-write again... (yes - terrible on my part... I know)  :-[ So now... I am almost at that point again. Realised now that my learners...
