I must be getting old ....................... I've never bothered with this crap before. But, having spent many a week in hospitals due to lack of talent, my brain has wisened up a bit. I'm flying in to SA to do off-road trip in Namibia, with Specialised Adventures, and want some decent...

Panic stations here ....... Very NB, I need the bike on Tuesday but can only fix it on Monday afternoon, this is not flexible. Started it today after it's been sitting a few months. Started first swing on choke, new battwry is the bees knees. Runs great on choke but the second I open the...

Yep, I know, there's been a million threads about what kit is needed when biking but, to be honest, I've never read them. Just about all of my riding was done in SA and I had all the bits and pieces I needed for whatever I did. Please note the word HAD ..................... I still have it but...

Due to my current living conditions, I don't ride my bike often enough, maybe twice a year. So, it lives on an optimate charger permanently. The optimate is now brown from heat, being permanently on. This weekend I took it out and it battled to start, had to jump start it from a car. The...

Took my bike to Ireland and it was making noises. Sounded like the chain or maybe a bent tooth on the back sprocket. Not a click sound but similar. Checked it all, couldn't find anything, so just slackened the chain and soaked it in oil. I did not want a breakdown in a foreign country and I...

What bright spark has repaired the cover? Mine is slowly breaking away on the hinge side, the little plastic retaining loop. It's only a matter of time before it shoots off, never to be seen again. Ive stared at it for a while but haven't come up with a feasible idea yet. Any ideas?

Ok, not really a motorbike thing but I know there's a few of you who navigate using a cell phone. How do I keep the screen lit always while navigating. I am using the Komoot app for cycling/walking/off-roading which has a track on it and it's a samsung phone. The screen always blacks out on all...

I'd like to stick some signwriting on my 950, on the fairing, and need some measurements. Unfortunately, my bike doesn't live with me, but has a nice shed to live in at my parents' house, about 5 hours from here .................... :cry:. The size of the signwriting is 25 x 198 mm (HxW) and...

Toying with the idea of a ride through Eire in the summer month, catching a ferry over from England. I went there many years ago but it was as dead as a door-nail ................................ I hadn't counted on Easter closing the Irish world down. Couldn't even buy fuel. Anyway, this time...

Many moons ago I heard about a range of mountains forming the border between Poland and Slovakia, called the Tatras ................. and promptly forgot about them. But some time later, after hearing from our friend Xpat, the thought of visiting them began to eat into my brain. That thought...

It's not for a bike, but for a car. I need to make a waterproof seal for a plastic cover that goes over the relay box in an Opel Corsa. I can buy the part for a gazillion rand but all I really need is the seal. It's the same stuff used on bike air-filter housing covers and other uses all over...

https://global.yamaha-motor.com/stories/offroadmania/ch5/ Read the above ......................... I can't yet decide whether 2-stroke is generally  kak or Yamaha made kak 2-strokes. And I think that making a 400 4T that kicks the 250 2T asses sorta answers the question about that eternal...

Bored, I am. Stuck in the UK, lock-downed to death and staring out the window, looking at the snow ................. ho hum. Drumming up the courage to go for a walk in the countryside. Now this is not a "please help me thread" but more of an interest thread. Something has happened to my bike...

This is something that's been bothering me since I overhauled the bike a couple years ago. I replaced a gazillion bearings and seals all over the bike but at the time couldn't get the rear wheel bearings out. And seeing as they were still good, I left them in, expecting to do it some other...

Long story short: - My bike has been exported from SA to the UK. It is still on the ship,on it's way. It will be landed in London, for me to collect. It will arrive as an imported vehicle with no insurance, etc. The SA license disc is still valid. I want to collect it and ride from the UK to...

This is not for a bike but could well be. So the same info might help one of you lot in the future. I'm in the Netherlands and left my trailer and car in SA for my wife to sell. She has now decided to forget where she put the papers and needs new ones. Naturally, this is my fault and has...

I have this top-box that came with the bike. I never use it. Although it might come in handy in a rainy country, it's not my thing. I do the half empty saddle bag type thing. The bottom bracket is still on the bike and is staying there. So, it's the box only. 2 x canvas crashbar bags to fit on...

I wanna buy some new covers for the speedo and rev counter. Who was the guy making them? Mine seem to be scratching themselves ...................  :biggrin: And I need an orange headlight cover, mine went missing over the weekend - anyone picks it up in the Free State, gimme a shout.
