Andymann Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Some DT updates... Blueprinting - when you spend the entire weekend matching up and cleaning the ports for maybe 0.5kw extra But at least now I know that everything is matching like Yamaha intended. It will probably be a little better but not expecting miracles! Oh, and some parts arrived.... WrightJnr, Mongooser, sawystertrance and 6 others 9
IceCreamMan Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Santa came early Hairy, shova1, WrightJnr and 8 others 11
sawystertrance Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Nice but hey, Ice Cream - does tis mean you're feeling better? Hope so. This will surely help.. IceCreamMan 1
IceCreamMan Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 IOM TT 2021 cancelled. Hopefully can roll over my bookings to 2022

We used to skim the heads of our 50's by using waterpaper and glass to get some extra compression. Boer maak n plan. Not sure what effect it had but hey we were always looking for a bit extra in terms of horsepower... Wannabe and IceCreamMan 2
BSG Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I wouldn't be too disappointed though - those bikes do have a reputation for being reliable, but 62000km for a single is a lot of km's. Unless it was serviced religiously, and had dealer stamps to confirm, you were probably looking at a top-end refurbish anyway which would have set you back close to R15k. You can get nice XT660's with less km's for R35k to R40kYes now afterwards I'm thinking that this isn't what I really want, but could've been a nice stepping stone to get where I wanted to be at. I just love the look of the Tenere 660, but might rather get a GS800 when I'm big enough [emoji23] BenReaper 1

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Yes now afterwards I'm thinking that this isn't what I really want, but could've been a nice stepping stone to get where I wanted to be at. I just love the look of the Tenere 660, but might rather get a GS800 when I'm big enough [emoji23] I saw one advertised in Randburg with just on 100K km, the ad said if it well maintained then the mileage should not scare anyone. I think Andymann can testify to how quickly a hamfisted "mechanic" can ruin a decent motorcycle...... BSG 1
Spokey Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 The little KLR had a good run out this past week end. This on the track east from Prince Albert pasr Klein Sleutalfontein farm. Hairy, intern, Wayne Potgieter and 4 others 7
Spokey Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Arrived at Prince Albert via the Swartburg Pass from Oudtshoorn. Was very cold and misty on the top. Hot on the northern side. BenReaper, Wayne Potgieter, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 7 others 10
RocknRolla Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Naais!!! Bliksem. My throttle hand is itching for a ride...
Andymann Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Couldn't resist a little mock-up last night after I unwrapped the powder-coating! WrightJnr, the nerd, sawystertrance and 3 others 6
Andreas_187 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I have quite a few bikes but this is my pride and joy. I rebuilt it myself from the crank up. 1992 RGV 250 but 40kg lighter and a CBR1000RR complete front end and an racing shock in the rear. Currently wearing the softest, stickies tyres Pirelli SC0's Hairy, Wannabe, BenReaper and 8 others 11
