Hi, I am in SA for a while, I brought these surplus parts over in my luggage. Currently in Somerset West. Can also get parts to Hermanus or Capetown. Tried to put up realistic prices, negotiable within reason. KTM 525 big tank - 13L Complete with Acerbis cap and fuel tap. Some minor...

Not sure if any WDs have had problems with the new EFI KTMs yet. There is a recall on the (black) 10 micron fuel filter that is in-line just before the injector. I checked mine today and it was full of junk. The fix is to replace with a (grey) 20 micron filter which I am trying to source now...

My KTM 640 has a crackling noise from the back near the battery when the ignition is turned on. I used my stethoscope to work out it is the CDI crackling. It sounds like a little man is in there with a 12v arc welder. Would the logical assumption be the CDI has broken components or bad solder...

A group of us made the trek to Liwa, which is a 3 hour drive away from Dubai, going past Abu Dhabi, and then turn towards the Saudi border. We camped at a dune called Moreeb, this is quite close to the border, and also the venue for an annual hill (dune) clmbing event. This is an area of...

When you service your bike at home, have you ever tried using only the tools that you carry on your bike? Or do you use the nice, big, and heavy tool kits from your garage? I was thinking the best way to find the 'missing' tools from the travel tool kit is to actually use it exclusively...

The Sep 2011 issues of UK magazine 'Bike' has a comparison of the BMW F800GS against the Triumph 800XC. Then there are a few more pages where the compare against the 'benchmark' KTM 990R and the 'legend' Honda Africa Twin. 12 pages of space dedicated to adventure bikes in a predominately road...

Due to the warmer temps at the moment we are doing quick 2.5 hour rides of about 90kms. We are leaving approx 4:30pm, getting back to the cars and a cool drink by 7:00 or so. The heat dries out the sand and makes it very soft, so along with the high ambient temps, it makes the engines work...

It seems that the Keihin EFI system is being used on virtually all of the plastic bikes nowadays, and some of the bigger bikes. Has anyone actually bought a tool that connects to the computer and played around with it? I downloaded the KTM program that is to be used with the hard parts...

Bought my first ever 'new' bike - a 2012 KTM EXC-F. Took a long time to clear customs, they were bolting it all together today. Should be able to go for a spin tomorrow arvo.

I needed a new chain and sprockets for the 300 EXC so placed an order from USA. Somehow some extra parts jumped in my shopping basket:

An Italian review of the new EXC 350. Can't understand a work of the first bit, but after 1:30 the language is pretty much international https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4QXzzotCxI&feature=related

Or just do it. Whatever. Go do a back flip on your Harley road king https://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2011/June/jun0211-worlds-first-harley-davidson-road-king-backflip-nearly-works/

I am trying to strip down my front forks on an '81 Honda. I have drained the oil and had the springs out and back in again. But I can't get the allen key bolt loose at the bottom (item 24) : The manual says: I don't have an impact driver and fark the dealer. Note that I have tried...

Got my new bike today. To call it a challenge is an understatement  :o Better go download a manual or two  :biggrin:

I am (not so) patiently waiting for my 640 Adventure project bike to be ready for collection, so in the mean time I bought an old school MX bike. This is what I found in  the 'motorbike showroom' They were putting a new piston and rings in, I came back the new day to collect my runner...

I wan't going to post this here as a LT50 is not really your typical adventure bike. But I bought this to give to my daughter on her 4th birthday, and I hope it will be a source of adventure for her. So here goes.... This is the bike that I bought from a back street bike shop. The little zook...

Hi all, Just signed up after lurking for a while. I am an Aussie guy living in Dubai, currently have a KTM 525 EXC and KTM 300 EXC. This is the 2 stroke: Looking to buy a 'proper' DS bike soon as per my first thread here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=66514.0 Cheers...

Hi, Just wondering if I could get some ideas from people that have ATs. I have always had a horn for these bikes, and now I am in a position to buy one. I live in Dubai and they are not very common. I have found two for sale, which have been imported from Japan (alledgedy). The first is a...
