    Would you buy a new old bike? Suzuki DR650SE

    Background: I have a fairly neat but very high mileage 2000 model DR650SE and a customer's wreck with nothing much usable left of its engine. Both bikes are papered and paid up. Plan: I build a brand new engine using the old casings. I replace everything inside. Nikasil, piston, rings, con rod...

    Engine Tune up Honda XRV 750

    Not quite. I had that issue many years ago with my VF1100C. I bypassed the pump when it died and thought I ride the bike on gravity feed and just keep it close to full all the time. The bike would randomly splutter and sometimes die all together from fuel starvation even with the tank filled to...

    Engine Tune up Honda XRV 750

    Generic fuel pumps used to cause all sorts of issues on these bikes. Been there, done that, bought three and had only two working fine. 1983 Honda VF1100C. The pump must be designed to work on a carb with no return feed to the tank. Back in the days Pierburg made nice little rotary vane pumps...

    Screwdrivers - JIS vs PH vs PZ vs ISO8764

    The easy way,used by me for the last three decades, is to use a readily available Pozidriv driver or bit to work on JIS screws. They are virtually identical. The only difference is in the design of the tool tip. The difference is irrelevant this way aroud. A Pozidriv tool will fit into a JIS...

    Paraffin to water down diesel

    1970s Diesel Mercs of my student days ran happily on heating oil. I remember having patched up a badly rusted 200D together with my two cousins in the early 1990s. Finished at 1AM and decided to "quickly" drive down to the Costa Brava in Spain for a few days of beach fun & party. Just to find...

I fitted one of the famous Le Cap bash plates. It comes with the bike. I just took it off for cleaning and...

    Sold My Suzuki DR650SE 2007, 55600km, R40000

    It is priced to sell but I am not throwing it away. I want to get rid of three of my six bikes. I do not ride a lot anymore and maintaining the whole lot is just taking up too much of my time. The little Honda it seems is already gone. Not sure about the other bikes. I want to sort out my old C...

    Sold My Suzuki DR650SE 2007, 55600km, R40000

    It's not new but I'd say it is pristine for its mileage and age. You find plenty of bikes which are three years old with a quarter of the mileage looking like wrecks.

    Wanted, Bike hire/lease/buy

    Bit lacking once it goes beyond really good, fast gravel and rather fragile if dropped. And a maintenance nightmare if you have to do valve clearances ::)
