To Mr and Mrs NiteOwl, what an epic trip and stunning ride report. I always have such admiration for anyone travelling into the less obvious parts of Africa. It takes massive kahunas. Respect!
Morning All,
I have an 800XCx, almost 15 000 kays done and have recentlyexperienced a disconcerting issue (well...actually this has happened about 4 or 5 times) - a total loss of power when riding, it's as if the fuel supply has simply been cut off. On each occassion this has happened, I have...
Hi, we went there in 2010, also avoided Zim and basically travelled around ZIM in a clockwise direction.
Take a look at the ride report - https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=49760.40

What a stunning RR. I'm always in such awe of riders who attempt solo trips, especially those, such as this one, that venture far off the beaten track.
Well written, entertaining. So glad it happened to pop up again as I missed it initially.

I removed all the insulation tape that was there, checked all the wiring and then taped it up again. I simply don't know - I...
I'm going to spend the weekend looking into this. I am a little sceptical that I will be able to find something that has escaped people far more technically aware than me. But I have nothing to lose.
Hi Dogs,
Over the years I’ve been impressed by the knowledge available and freely dispensed on this forum and hopefully I can benefit from this and resolve an issue on my KLR that has me tearing my hair out.
Now that I’m done with blowing smoke up your asses, here is the problem:
It is...
Hi Ian,
Fascinated by the fork clamp, I've never heard of it being mentioned of a KLR must-do. What did they cost?
I've done the front springs and maybe this is something I need to look into.
Cheers,

The doohickey was done about 2 years ago but I have never checked the tension.
Doc, you did tell me how to do it but I have forgotten. Could you please give me the steps to be followed again?
Thanks.
