Andymann Posted November 30, 2020 Share 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....

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... IceCreamMan and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSG Posted November 30, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted December 1, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas_187 Posted December 2, 2020 Share 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 IceCreamMan, intern, Wannabe and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
