Ideally 21"/1.85, but not fussy as long as it has 36 spoke holes (pretty standard). 076 390 9098 -R

Hi I just recently got an XT660Z, which I'm loving so far, but... Issue #1: a couple times I noticed as I was walking away from the bike, that I'd accidently switched the parking lights on. I've had a number of bikes in the past, and I'm in the habit of turning the key off all the way as far...

I've decided to let go of my beloved Honda XR650L. I know it's frowned apon to post sale stuff here, but I know from experience how hard it is to come by 2nd hand XR parts, so figured it might be appreciated. If not feel free to remove this. -I did also post in the 'for sale' section...

I've decided to let go of my beloved Honda XR650L. Licencing & paperwork is in my name & up to date, but it's not in a ridable condition at the moment. I was in the process of doing some repairs, but life happens, and it's been sitting in my garage in the same state for months now. I just...

Hi I'm looking for an Exhaust Valve for a Honda XR650L (XR600R also fits). Honda Quoted me over R900, which I'll pay if don't find anything else. -any ideas? -R

I'm looking for a rear brake caliper bracket for my XR650L. I believe the same bracket is also used on the XR250 & XR400. I'm happy to mdify something that might kind-of work. -R

It's a 2013 model. I bought it from Mike Hopkins Kawasaki in Cape Town as a demo model with a couple hundred km. I commuted on it for a year, and then it became a weekend toy. It lives outside, but doesn't seem to mind. It is a very smooth, easy ride. Low torque, high speed. (Red line 13,000...

I didn't get a name, or have a chance to say thanks, but I'm very grateful. I was commuting on my little Ninja 300 on the N2 with a friend on the back, and got a rear puncture. I was just riding home at 25km/h in the shoulder, when a very friendly guy on a GS stopped and took my friend home...

Hi I'm looking for a clutch basket removal/holding tool. I'll be using it on my Honda XR650L, but I think they're fairly universal. Please let me know if you have one you're willing to sell, or if you know of a good supplier in the Western Cape. -R

Hi I am not that familiar with the XT660Z, but am very tempted to upgrade from my Honda XR650L. How many km would be considered 'high milage' for these bikes & what should I be looking out for on an older one? Any other comments? -R

Hi my bike has an engine issue (again) :-\. I want to open up my engine & see what's going on. The service manual metions a few special tools are required when removing the cylander head. My question is, are any special tools really needed, or can someone with some common sense get by without...

I really like this kind of attitude. -getting out is so much more important than having the right bike. https://www.zabikers.co.za/2016/08/16/social-sandy-sym-rides-the-makgadikgadi-salt-pans-in-botswana/ -R

Hi This must have been discussed here before, but my quick search didn't reveal much so here goes. I have had this stuff recommended a few times & met many riders who religeously carry a can of it at all times. I've been on rides where I or one of my riding companions have used it after...

I took this screen grab from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLwOJ1HQYq8 So I have no idea where the ad originates. -who has owned an AG100 and can relate?

Hi If you hear a distinct & loud "ticking" noise coming from the front of your engine, get the cylander head taken off & the valve seats checked. -you could avoid having to re-bore/re-sleeve the cylander & Replace the piston & valve. Only after this happened to me did I hear of 2 others with...

Hi See my thread about my oil leak in "Genral Technical" here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=191723.0 -R

Hi I have an oil leak >:( For those that don't know this type of bike, the oil is in the frame (part of the frame is the oil tank/oil cooler). There is a little bracket welded to the frame at the front of the bike that the tank mounts on to, and the weld there has cracked a little & opened an...
