About a week ago I adjusted the tension on the neck bearings as they was a bit on the loose side. No tank slappers, but wobbled a bit through sweeping corners as can be seen on the Rooi-Els Youtube vid. First I made it too tight as I didn't take into consideration that when the top nut is...

Front wheel done and the second pic is the complete look back to how I like it  :ricky: :ricky: :ricky: :ricky: :ricky:

Apologies, a bit out of order. I removed the "spoke straws" a while ago as I have never been a big fan of them, but after some time I really regretted the decision as I missed the "blacked out look". So with that and a ton of swear words I battled to get them back on

The bike had a really crappy worn down front tyre on it, so had a new Michelin Pilot Street Radial fitted just before the Rooi-Els video earlier in this thread.

I have a few updates regarding the life of the DRZ. But first two photo's  O0

Anyone working on their bikes during this lock down period? And the most important question, who is using their bikes to go the the shop?  :thumleft:

21 days to get some work done. I don't have that much to do to be honest, so I got some grey sealant from work and a shim kit from my dad so I will have my first go at adjusting valves with underbucket shims. Had a look at a bunch of Youtube vids and I have the manual so all should be fine...

Looks awesome! I wish I could get a white one in SA. Blue also looks great

And I mostly got rid of the unused strips on my rear tyre  :3some: :3some:

As promised below is the video of Rooi-Els pass I did last sunday. Kept myself away from the beer bottle so I will be in a state to not just laze around and do what I planned to. Cheers <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sSSpXwmfgbM" frameborder="0"...

More gents/ladies. Re-uploaded the video. Chopped and changed on the edit and I'm happy with it now. Below is the new one. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sSSpXwmfgbM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope...

Morning ladies and gents. Went to Rooi-Els this past Sunday to get my mind free from STRESS>>> The SM did really well and I'm extremely happy with the complete package than ever before. I finished editing the Gopro footage and I'm not going to lie it really takes time to cram all that...

Good day, ladies and gents. Planning on doing Rooiels pass early Sunday morning with the SM and will definitely be editing a video afterwards to post. Got to get rid of the chicken strips  :'( :'( :'( Starting the Thread so long with a video of just a bit of messing around in my town...

Sparkplugs, oil and oil filter you should get at any bike shop. The valve adjustment wrench is not needed if I'm not mistaken. When I did the valve clearences on my DR650 I used a wood screw to adjust the valve adjusting screws. Feeler quage at any auto shop. Check the carbs jetting while you...

Mag dalk wees. Naby die boom strate, nie seker of dit peperboom is nie :thumleft:

The DRZ has been treating me wholesomely! Been riding the SM more and with hard handed testing in the back roads it gave me 19.5KM/L I went to go and visit my sis and brother in law as they bought their first house. Short vid I made from the commute. Very much short shifting and trying very...

Gravel roads is absolutely nothing for the SM
