HI All, I live near Hoedspruit. Received my CRF 300 L last Thursday. Took it up Mariepskop on Saturday. Love it. That motor/ gearbox is a peach. BUT!!! The suspension is horrible. Back shock is more of a pogo stick. Who can I ask for help in improving the suspension? If anybody wishes to...

Hi All. One of my friends bought a XR650L from another friend. This bike has less than 3000ks on it.   First buddy sold it 'cause he could'nt get it running. Friend no 2 got it going albeit poorly. You can't whack the throttle open. It just stumbels and misfires. So we swapped my bikes CDI...

Hi fellow doggies,   my XR 650L has about 75000 klicks on it and is using oil.     As I'm going to change 2nd and 5th gear I will fix the oil issue as well.   Which piston will you guys recommend. Though I,ll like a bit more power it must not be at the cost of reliability.   Do you get...

Hi Guys, a friend of mine owns a Kawa Kle500. Its back shock has been repaired twice but it keeps breaking. Where can he buy a shock? From the agents off course, but that will cost more than bike is worth. Suggestions please. New or second hand. Thanks.

Hi people please help. My neighbours XR125 is driving us mad. Bike will start but won't idle, so you turn the idling screw in, then it's fine. If you open and close the throttle it takes a while for the revs to drop. OK now you take it for a ride (on a farm, going slowly), after a 5 or 10...

Good day Everybody, Some time ago I built a spiral pump/ wirth pump. Its torpedo shape body I made out of 2mm black HDPE plastic sheet. This works very well with the HDPE being UV resistant and extremely tough. (This thing floats in a rapid in a river month in month out) Now its time to build...

I need a new 15teeth front sprocket for my 650l. It must be the nice fat one from the 650r. Who have them in stock? Vendors please reply.

Good day to all the Dogs. There's some light aluminium welding and fabrication that I have to do. It gives me the opportunity to learn how at the same time. Ali is between 1 and 6mm thick. Decided to buy a TIG ac/dc welder. Please come with advice. American welders, though the best, are...

Hi to All, Bike is a 2006 gs1200 adv with 140000 kilos on clock. About 3 months ago the fuel pump controller failed. That was replaced and the bike ran fine. As the plastic panels was already off and the bike needed some TLC I decided to fix some things on it and then reassemble it. It stood...
