My clutch started slipping. I swapped new one in, plate order is correct, the washer at the bottom is in right direction top friction plate is offset per manual. The clutch wouldnt disengage when lever is pulled in, even though i can see that the pressure plate lifts when i pull lever. Any...

Intro I have been fortunate enough to enjoy extended sabatical in 2017-18. I used it to explore in my estimate the most exquisite riding spots of southern Africa, such as Kaokoland & Damaraland, Bots bush and sand, Lesotho mountains, and Moz tropical coastline. All good things come to an end...

Intro Thanks to the COVID nonsense I have lost couple of long riding weekends in April / May. I wasn't keen to loose another one last weekend and since travel across the border was still verbotten, I decided to go and have a look at the area I haven't visited yet that promised great riding as...

I'm looking for REV'IT Sand jacket and Shoei J-Cruise helmet and cannot find either in RSA. There used to be shop next to Linex Yamaha (it might have belonged to Linex actually) that used to sell Rev'it, but it is no more. Is there somebody - an importer (official or grey) of Rev'it jackets in...

I'm looking for a second hand swingarm for 990S - not sure what MY it is, it looks like this: Please let me know if you have one or know about one. Thanks

Introduction (GPS tracks of this trip are attached here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=236580.msg4245285#msg4245285 & here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=236580.msg4252672#msg4252672) Simpson desert is probably the most iconic dual sport ride in Australia, crossing...

Just stumbled upon this video - and even managed to watch it till the end.  :imaposer: He even has a South African company make wheels for his bikes for some reason: https://youtu.be/O4iGNXsqghs

Intro Few years back I tried to ride on the little tracks I plotted on sat images along the Moz coast from Marracuene just north of Maputo all the way to Vilankulos. I have managed way less than half of the planned tracks and had to chicken out the rest on EN1 tar as I was just not good enough...

Introduction First of all - boogie woogie: Tony who initiated this trip came up with that and the rest of us born after the WW2 just assumed that it’s a made up noise he probably uses to endear himself to infants. Back home, quick interweb check revealed it actually has meaning. Here an excerpt...

Let's see if this happens, but if Pierer says so the chances are it will happen. It seems targeting these developing markets (whatever they are - India basically) may not be such a bad thing at the end of the day - we may get some tasty spillovers. The indicated 80hp from 500 seems a bit...

Can somebody who has been recently in ZImbabwe let me know please what is the current situationthere? One of my mates told me that it is chaos now with huge lack of liquidity resulting in stupid prices - see attached bill from a restaurant. Is that something to expect or just once off...

I would like to get from Kasane to Maun following the cutlines/tracks along the northern and western boundary of Chobe, via Linianti and Mababe village. I have done already the tracks from Kasane to Maun along the east and south boundary of Chobe to Mababe, so know that as long as I stay out...

This thing looks like it can finally provide veritable alternative to KTM 500 for dual sporting - provided it is reasonably easily plateable of course. The following article says "the WR is fully compliant with EPA emission and noise requirements". Does that make it legal - once the roadworthy...

OK, I’m Czech actually, but most people here do not understand the difference (even though we provided one of the giants of the modern SA society - Radovan Krejcir) so I may as well stick with the Russian for better effect. I have been on sabbatical for a while now focusing on what I like most...

Introduction This is a quick photo report - or rather just an excuse to post photos as I like to have trips documented somewhere before I lose the photos - on a trip around Okavango Delta (very roughly speaking) that I have done with 2 of my mates from school we all attended 21 years ago back...

Is there any bike dealership in Zimbabwe that keeps the basic stuff like filter and chain oil, and most importantly bike tyres? Preferably in  Harare or eastern part of Zimbabwe. Ta

Oi. As the title says and little bit last minute I'm looking for nice offroad route from Joburg to either Barberton or Kosi Bay. I will be on KTM 500 so ideally would like to find a route that will be fun on that. I will route normal dirt roads on Google maps myself, but am interested in those...

One question please - do I neet carnet for SA registered bike for Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia (and possibly Rwanda and Uganda)? If I need the carnet, how long it takes to arrange and what is the cost? Thank you.

I have ridden Lesotho quite a few times before, and have done most of the main dirt and tar roads frequented by the adv crowd. Unlike most though, I have always left feeling a bit shortchanged. Main reasons were too little time spent there - most trips were the usual 3 - 4 day long weekend...

I'm looking for a place (farm, hotel, guesthouse, petrol station etc.) where I can leave bakkie for 10 - 14 days, while riding in Lesotho. The closer to Monantsa border crossing the better, but I'm happy to ride a bit there (e.g. Clarens, Kestel, Fouriesburg, etc.). And I'm happy to pay for the...
