How difficult would it be to get a plaas bike registered? That is a bike which never had any papers. Of course the assumption is that the bike will be in a condition to pass a roadworthy.

Not sure if I am posting in the right spot. I am looking for a simple GPS speedometer and odometer combo with trip distance. Have a USB port on my handlebars so can source power from there. Anybody running a similar set-up? Would appreciate advise and hopefully info on device, that is where to...

I am sure this has been a topic of discussion before, but perhaps there are some new ideas/products that have advanced the state of the art. On a recent trip I was found wanting in this department when my son got a nasty exhaust manifold burn. I had nothing with me, not even painkillers. I...

We visited the Cape Nature Anysberg site in mid-January and in also recently in mid-February of this year. First and second visit. Trailered the two bikes (KLR 650 and my son's Honda XR400R) in as junior cannot ride his bike on public roads (14 years old and counting). This time around we could...

This is a rather boring ride report, for the simple reason that most of you reading this have been to the Tankwa, and more specifically the Tankwa Tented Camp. Ma' ek is bereid om geld te verwed dat nie een van julle al by daai kamp was op die manier wat ek en my 13-jarige laaitie was nie. Die...

Menere Fotos van die flikkerlig switch op my 2006 KLR650 verwys. Met die laai van my bike so 'n maand gelede het die skakelaar seergekry. Die flikkerligte werk net eenkant toe (as ek heeltyd wil regs draai gaan dit alles OK wees ....). Het vandag die unit waarin die skakelaar sit uitmekaar uit...

We are located in the Stellenbosch area. I have just purchases a Honda XR400R for my 13-year old (he also has a KDX200) and I flop around on a KLR650. We rented on a farm in the Grabouw area until end 2020 which provided us with easy access to places to ride. However, we now find ourselves in a...

WAaaaaaaMy 13-year old seems to have taken a liking to dirt roads. His current 2-stroke is working too hard to keep up with the bigger bikes on the gravel so it seems I am in the market for a XR. Interested in something around the R18k price range. There is one for sale in the Eastern Cape but...

Ek dink sterk daaraan om 'n bike trailer te koop. My 13 jarige seun het 'n Kawasaki KDX200 (2-stroke) en ek 'n KLR650. Die idee is om die bikes te trailer na, byvoorbeeld iewers innie Karoo, en dan daar te ry. Ek sleep met 'n Gelandewagen so die trailer moet basies net die bikes dra, die res...

So the KLR only uses 4 spanner sizes to remove both wheels, a 17, 19, 22 and a 24. If you buy those tyre-level-spanner combinations you are looking at at least a grand and more. Went to the local hardware store and started with a 24 spanner (at R150) a grinder, a blow torch and a hammer to...

Saw a view videos on Ballard's tyre levers which seems to be an Australian product. Is it any good and if so can it be bought in SA ....... in 20 or so days.

Ek doen nou maar die millennial-ding: education-by-YouTube. Gaan nie altyd so bul nie, ek is nou al twee keer bo-oor my handlebars (gelukkig teen lae spoed) en die KLR begin nou pragtag karakter kry ........ sans 'n spie"eltjie of twee    :-[ Ek sal graag so 'n paar vragies hier wil vra oor...

I am shopping around for a bike trailer and noting that the more affordable ones are often "without papers". Having made some progress on my 4x4 intercooler build I am contemplating building my own bike trailer. Has anyone gone through the exercise of registering a trailer from scratch? If so...

Made a commitment to Keith from www.klrclan.co.za to follow his example, so here goes. I have x2 KLR650 clutch cables. The one was on the bike and it seems to be a genuine Kawasaki cable, the other a "made up" spare which was meant to ride along as a replacement. Both are in perfect working...

Apologies if this has already been covered, I seem to struggle with the search function. Attached images of my current footpegs. I would like to replace them with pegs that are lower (at the level of the two bolts that attach them to the frame) and possibly a little more to the back. I have...

My son wears an adult size 8 shoe at the moment. Indications are there that he will probably grow like a weed in the coming year. Was hoping to get him a 2nd hand pair of riding boots which I can sell and replace with one-size-up as he stretches. Should you have an appropriately-sized pair of...

....... ons is gatvol vir Chnineese baaiks! Laaitie het 'n 125 cc pitbike waarvoor ek R5000 betaal het (as ek reg onthou). Nie lank nie toe breek die crank ....ja .... reg gehoor ........ die cranck. Nog 'n duidend of twee later vervang ons die motor met 'n BigBoy 125. In die week begin die...

Not in a terrible hurry to buy, so willing to wait for it to be right but also not into wasting other people's time.

Hi, I am Chris. I live in Grabouw. I am not a vegan. My nick here is (obviously ...) WannaBeJoe. It is a very very clever nick so I need to explain it: WannaBe - I don't have a bike (yet). My 11-year old has three, so I wannabe like him. Joe - as in John Doe as in anonymous or unidentified but...
