Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I think those keys are some kind of cast aluminium/pewter alloy. Welding anything to them is nigh on impossible. I wouldn't risk a quick fix just to have the new bit break off inside the ignition barrel.... @Lexx, have a look at your insurance policy schedule. There is usually a clause in there specific to key replacement. That should be covered.Ergh. Yeah, in that case it's not a good idea.
Hairy Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I am assuming one should not specify that the keys broke when being thrown at the cat, just that the keys are broken I think those keys are some kind of cast aluminium/pewter alloy.

Allrounder Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Anyone have some advice re a Honda XLV700 transalp? Looking at one now and im quite keen, the KLE is a bit too much project vs Commuter! heard that maintenance is extremely expensive on the transalp for some reason. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1

Gnarly Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I am assuming one should not specify that the keys broke when being thrown at the cat, just that the keys are broken Where Lexx lives that stray cat could have been a Lion, so key insurance is probably cheaper than life insurance.

i24 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Anyone have some advice re a Honda XLV700 transalp? Looking at one now and im quite keen, the KLE is a bit too much project vs Commuter! My son has a Transalp 700. Very nice bike, he commutes on it every day. But it is a bit heavy for traffic. His has been re-geared for touring, which does not help. I believe some of the parts can be expensive and there are not always generic alternatives available in SA. But it is so reliable that has yet to be a problem. the nerd 1
patches Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Any news in SA on the expected arrival time and pride of the Yamaha Tenere 700 (Formerly the T7 concept)?

sawystertrance Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Ai, the old question. On the Wild dogs forum, the okes there have been asking this question for ages. Seems to be an opinion that Van Beveren rode a bike which wasn't like this and now nobody knows if or when it's coming out.

sawystertrance Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 By then it'll be electric.. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Grebel 2
Spokey Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 By then it'll be electric..And I probably won’t want one anymore! To be true, these electric bikes are becoming awesome with the amount of instant torque available, but for this grey beard........I like the sound of a lekker bike when “on the pipe” as they say, be it 1 to 6 cylinders in any configuration!
