    Turbulence behind cars

    As I was riding home yesterday on the N2 on my slow padbike with the kak suspension, I inevitably got stuck behind queues of cars where overtaking is unsafe. I noticed that the turbulence behind certain cars/suv's/vans varies a lot. Fortuners are the worst, it is so bad that you cannot keep your...

    T7 Suspension upgrades on a budget?

    So, I gave myself a year to get used to the T7 (and lose some weight). Needless to say, I failed at the weight thing... I weight around 105kg's (I have big bones ok) and I do put some unnecessary strain on the T7's standard suspension. I did manage to bottom out the rear once or twice during...

    Knee Protectors

    For the nice and warm riding days, I got myself a pair of Alpinestars Bionic Flex Knee Protectors to go with my nice Alpinestar MX pants. These knee protectors have like a Velcro tightener and a silicone band (like some cycling shorts have too) at the top to prevent it from sliding down your...

    Yamaha T7 noisy front?

    I did my first proper off-road trip with my T7 during the WC Bash. Whilst transversing some rough terrain (especially corrugations), I became aware of a clacking noise in the front. Is this normal?

    Bike Shed

    I am toying with the idea of getting a motorcycle specific shed as the bike is a bit in the way in the garage and it is a bit of a pain to get it in and out. It has to keep elements out (very humid and salty air here). I have seen some beautiful versions on YouTube, but not a lot available in...

    Oasis Spitbraai

    I was eyeing the annual spitbraai at Oasis with anticipation, but the open spots disappeared quite quickly. Fortunate some spots opened in Keith’s group last minute, so I jumped at the opportunity. I left Thursday after work to meet up with @Challa at his place in Brackenfell. I was treated...

    Cutting out when warm/idle issue on Djebel?

    So the Djebel my buddy bought from me giving some issues. We went for a ride the other day and the Djebel just died. Struggled to start with some spluttering but we eventually got it started by push starting. The bike did it a few times during the ride and almost had to be pushed home. Couldn't...

    New boots thread

    I need some proper boots as my W2 Touring numbers are good for touring only. What can I look at sub R5K (we all have a budget)? O'Neil Riders were rated good value for money at one stage. Gearne makes a nice GX1 and I saw some Leatt numbers as well. Takelot sells Fox but I have heard some not...

    XT600E 3TB Steering Bearings

    Hey, I am looking for a set of steering bearings for a 1995 XT 600E. It seems all XT600 used the same bearings? From what I have read it looks like BMG 32005 and 32006 - is this correct? TracMac lists a set as well -  341-SBK004 - will that work? Sorry for the questions, but I have to order...

    XT600 Swingarm removal

    While fitting new sprockets/chain to Barney and waiting for a few parts to arrive, I decided to pull the swingarm apart as I wanted to check the bearings etc.  I loosened the swingarm pivot bolt but the bolt is stuck proper. It does turn but you can feel the bearings is on the rough side, but I...
