I am looking for an Akrapovic for a 2007 KTM 640 Adventure. (would also considered a standard KTM pipe in good condition) Alternatively, I have a perfect set of Akrapovic twin pipes for a Yamaha 660 Tenere (value around R13,000) to swop for an Akra for the 640.

So it came to pass that my trusty 640 died. (she got me home first, but then refused to start again.....just completely dead) I fiddled for a week, then decided it needed a new ignition lockset. (key and lockset costing R1,700 was duly ordered) SYMPTOMS: When switching on the key, the lights...

Got myself an old beat up Moto Guzzi 850 le Mans 3 for R15,000. She runs, is licensed, has gear driven timing, Konis on rear,  Dyna ignition, fork brace, sump extension, etc. High milage (approx 125, 000 km), which is neither here nor there on these sports tractors. Cosmetically challenged...

QUESTION:  Is it possible to do the Sikaflex sealing of spokes etc, then fit a conventional tube but with an airtight valve? (effectively two valves would then be fitted, one a tubeless, one conventional) The idea being to run with a tube as normal. Then when a puncture situation arises, the...

I have a 2007 KTM 640 Adv, with some 40,000km on the clock, and a sick starter. When I pressed the starter button, the relay just  clicked, but would not turn over the motor. I checked the battery, recharged it, etc etc. Came to the conclusion that the starter needed new brushes. However, KTM...

Hi. I am looking for an Akra slip on pipe for my 640. If anyone has one lying around or want to sell, let me know pls. (Preferably the old style one, with the little outlet pipe sticking out of the end).

Hi guys. Went for a short ride this afternoon. As I pulled away at the lights, I felt the back start kicking sideways a bit under acceleration. I though I had hit a slight oilpatch and carried on. Then at the next stop, it happened again. I checked the tyre if it was flat, all ok and carried on...

Nearly got taken out by a cage in Woodstock yesterday. Being semi paranoid in traffic, I had noticed the car inching forward from a sidestreet. As the traffic was fairly light, I thought he had seen me. When I clicked that he had not seen me, I had that split second ''ofok dit gaan seer wees''...

I got this baby after a long search. a BMW R100GS PD Classic. 1996 year model, the last year of production, with 21 and 17 inch tubeless rims, Paralever, Ohlin monoshock etc.  In spotless condition. Lekka. (I think its a keeper, as they are so easy to work on and the cost of a rebuild say 5 or...

As you guys know, with the 640 original parts its either a sidestand, or a centrestand, not both. After fitting the centrestand for a trip to the Orange river (for fixing flats etc), it became obvious that its not working for me. The mission to ballance the fully loaded bike while getting on/off...
