From Zusterstroom gravel road is perfect and looks like it was graded recently. Gravel road to Verena at Loskopdam very rocky. Tar road from Loskopdam to Stofberg had terrible potholes so be very careful, and then gravel road from Stofberg to Dullstroom also rocky so be careful of cutting your...

Being a pharmacist I have been working like crazy since two weeks before lockdown when the public starting going crazy for sanitizers, face masks ,immune boosters and whatever they felt necessary to protect themselves from the virus. This week I decided I deserved a break from the madness and so...

I decided to do my first rally with a support crew consisting of 2 friends who came a long. They assisted by servicing my bike at knight (air filter cleaning , chain lube , re torque most bolts and nuts) and filling bike with fuel for next day. I could then focus on going for a shower , eating...

My only conclusion so far is that the 140 rear and the higher profile compared to the standard tyres for the GS1200 Adv is maybe a problem. Usualy the rule is small bikes narrow tyres etc. the 800 GS the 140 is perfect. I used to race superbikes and experienced a similar problem there. Dunlop a...

Is the wobbling feeling not maybe normal with most knobblies? I have only owned my GS1200 Adv since May 2009. I did my first 1000km running on the standard Metzeler Karoos I bought the bike with and then replaced them with the Maxis which I have been riding on up until 10 days ago before fitting...

Thanks. Will maybe have the dealer reset the tyres. I immediately after fitment thought the front heidi is the wrong way around and checked the arrows to confirm.

Yes. There were no vibrations at speed indicating unbalanced wheels.

I also found I had to adjust my electronic suspension to the max etc. sport setting for tar and hard off-road on gravel which did make a small difference. I am convinced it is the 140 rear tyre size instead of the normal 150 rear tyre size causing the instability problems. As it is a knobbly...

>:( Last year at the BMW GS Eco event I noticed a lot of 1200 GS's fitted with Heidenau tyres. I completed last years event on Metzeler karoos which came fitted standard on my new GS 1200 Adventure purchased about 3 months earlier. My rear Metzeler karoo just made it home with about no tread...
