Hi All!

I am another newbie to SR and have entered for Morocco 2025. I am building a 1994 F650ST funduro for the event, but at least my front-end is Yamaha.... YZF fork, front wheel and caliper.

This is a great tread with excellent posts on experiences on SR.

Will love to get more info from ...

Hi all.

A friend and I have registered for Sandrainders Morocco 2025, just here to say "hi".

I won't be on my Tenere as it's the current T7. I'll be turning up on a DR-Z400, assuming my rebuild goes according to plan.

As a first-timer, I might pick the brains of those of you that have been ...

I've just noticed your reply. I've got a 1993 xtz660 (17000miles) so should be fine. ( I've missed the 2025 event deadline). I'm more concerned about preping the bike than anything else. I understand tyres mouses but what do I need to take and do other than that. Obviously I will service it and ...

Wow! It's been over a month already since I rode my 3AJ in SandRaiders 2024. One of the best moments for me was the bike starting with the first press of the button everytime. The pistes were a mixture of desert like bliss and stoney tracks from hell.

I think the XT660's are probably after that.

Maybe try and source a 34L, 1VJ ...

I've just about sorted a bike for next year's sandraiders. I've not done it before and am now wondering what should I do next?
I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne anyone local or localish ?


Apologies, just seen your message.

Best advice in prepping for SandRaiders would to go out riding with the ...

Eventually, I had my 3AJ shipped back to the depot in England so I again used Dale Booker, specialised motorcycle transporter to return it to Scotland.

Unfortunately, when I wanted to take it for a ride up the hills near me, it would not start ...

I agree, but Ramlia is special place, was surprise that village had new fences on the east-south corner. The new sand way is very narrow, but fine on motorbike

Yeah, I've heard of a few riders being caught out by the fence. I think it protects a garden. They ...

@Ramlia - seems that effective this year the normal road beginning at the end of Ramlia was closed and now there is only more or less one way road only newly build. Unfortunately the new road is for single car only... really I was surprise about that.


Gosh Jenik!

Why would Maroc spoil such an ...
