I've done 58 000 happy km's on my reliable 2005. However, I spotted a fairly large green luminous coolant drop when I wheeled the bike out for a...
Thanks a mil! It turns out that it was exactly that. The green wire was toasted! To my knowledge there was no recall in South Africa. I downloaded...
I've finally resorted to taking the bike in to the agents. They informed that there is a voltage overload to the CDI which causes the protection...
Is there still space for one recruit in this battalion? If so, sign me up and put my name down for the patches. If there are metal pins available,...
