Nice review for some heavyweight adventure bikes.

I want to buy some wild@heart 2 finger leavers for my Ktm 890. Is there a place in Cape Town or a place to order online where I can pay with a card and they can deliver to Cape Town. I'm in the Netherlands and someone will bring it with them in 3 weeks, so speedy service would be good for them...

This might be of interest to those using Continental TKC80 tyres. Looks like a recall on some of them. https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/continental-issues-recall-on-tkc80-and-other-motorcycle-tires/

I have the option to get a set of the new Karoo 4s for my 890. I guess they are not yet available in SA? Has anyone seen any feedback yet? https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/metzeler-karoo-4-dual-sport-tire-launched/ Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Not sure if the cold start issue on the 890 is also a problem for the owners in SA. I've been following a post on Advrider about this and similar to a lot of people registered my issue on the American NHTSA Road safety site. Via via, KTM Austria want my bike for testing.  Anyway, I've attached...

Just saw this article on clutch recall on the 690 and 701. Might be useful to some https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/ktm-husqvarna-recall-certain-690-701-enduro-other-lc4-models/ Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Maybe a bit of a dumb question,  but anyway... I need to connect my Garmin Zumo xt power to my newly acquired 890. The cabling which came with the unit has connectors which would go straight on the battery.  This would obviously be permanent power on. Would this be a bad idea? Would it be...

So it looks like I might finally be able to buy a bike again after being without one for the last 6 years.  My previous 2 bikes were KTM 990s. I think it is safe to say I will stick to the dark side. There are (maybe) 2 other bikes (or brands) which I might consider, Triumph 800 or 900  or V...

I'm looking for some hidden gems for Christmas accommodation for this year for a group of around 15 people, maybe around 4 nights. Some camping but also some self-catering units. Ideally maybe a nice farm or river setting. Swimming facilities would be good. It should be a nice halfway point...

It's been 4 1/2 years since I unfortunately sold my 990 when we moved from Cape town to the Netherlands. It is time to get another bike (my wife doesn't know yet). I really miss the 990, and everything I look at now I compare to that. I would like the 1290, but they are just to expensive. I...

My friend is selling his S10. This bike is really in exceptional condition. He is very meticulous in maintaining his bikes, keeping it clean, etc. You can contact him directly or post here. You can find the details on the Gumtree add...

Clearing out a few things. I will still add a few other things to the list, but this is a start. All items are located in Durbanville, Cape Town. Postage cost will be for the buyers account. Cash is king, if you want it, give me the cash, easy as that. I need to get rid of these pretty...

I need to replace the headlight bulb on my 990 Adv (2010). Are there any replacement bulbs/lights I can use that will give me better light than the standard ones? I don't want to upgrade the whole thing, just thought it would be good to replace with better bulb. Btw, is it an easy job to replace...

Just checking if anyone wants to join for a ride on Friday in the Agulhas region. I'm doing some route planning for our business and will be travelling along the gravel roads from Botriver, area to Agulhas. Mix of tar and gravel. I will probably try to leave from Botriver around 9am...

I need to take my bike for a roadworthy, was suppose to do it a month ago. Where is the best testing station in Cape Town northern suburbs for this? I don't want no hassle man....8)8)

I missed out on a very nice KTM advertised on here a few weeks ago. Buff very kindly went to have a look on my behalf because I'm still in London. I was just about to commit to buying when I received an email from the seller saying it is sold. Anyway, such is life... I am back in Cape Town in 2...

I think someone tampered with my ignition, I can't get the key in all the way. I had to get the recovery out to take me home, what a pain in the arse. To top it off, I had to pay extra £50 because he had to winch it into the van. What a fuck up - the charge is for use of specialist equipment >:(...

Lately, my 990 adv is running hotter than usual. I believe one of the reasons for this could be that it might be running lean.  What does this actually mean, and why would it possibly do it all of a sudden. If this is indeed the case here, how would I know and how can I fix it. Is it something...
