Thank you, that is exactly what I needed. UK eBay for the win!

Does anybody happen to have an extra 2014+ front turn signal off the bike? I'm looking for a photo of the electrical connector so I can make some plug and play harnesses, but I only really see gen 1 turn signals used on eBay (I don't think the Gen 2 uses the round 3 pin standard Yamaha...

Hey, at least springs are relatively inexpensive.

If you have stripped screw heads on your upper bars, I just ordered a box of replacements from McMaster and you're welcome to a set.

I hooked up my scope and a toggle switch to some LED fog lights and switched them on and off while watching the scope record. I saw a "spike" of a few tenths of a volt. I would not consider that anything to get excited about. I suspect the low ESR of a battery in conjunction with the voltage...

Could you elaborate on this?

Drawing a couple amps off that circuit for LED lights is no big deal. If you want some extra safety, you can use another fuse located at the aux plug between the aux plug and the lighting.

I'm glad it all went smoothly.

For what it's worth, I did sag measurements on my stock S-10 when I got it and found that the front springs were adequate for my 240 lb. weight but the rear shock spring wasn't even close. I ran the stock suspension with a resprung rear shock for a while before snagging an Ohlins, and I found a...

They look like SW Motech, so not exactly "designed" but rather picked out of a catalog.

If you'd rather ride in a car on Sunday, I can pick you up and drive you out there if you chip in for gas and snacks, and I'm somewhat less likely to rob you than the crowd on the bus. On the plus side, if the bike sucks, I can drive you back to the train station and you aren't stuck.

I feel kinda guilty for buying the uppers on eBay this morning...

The Triumph scrambler would be awesome as a second bike along with a Tenere. I would not want to accrue major mileage on one though, as the seat is a horrendous creation and wind protection is non existent. A friend I ride with frequently has a scrambler and a Bonneville and the key drives him...

I'm happy to see a single throttle body on the V85TT. Keeping the dual TBs clean and working properly can be a bit of a chore.

Welcome!

If you put Givi monokey racks on your bike, then you can put a huge variety of cases on there with little effort. Their Canyon soft bags also are locked down, so they are a lot harder for someone to walk away with (though those soft bags don't quite clip onto the monokey racks, they will mount...

I would try adding 5 lbs. of air to a flat tire with a hand pump and consider whether you'll live long enough to fill a flat tire to 40 PSI with a hand pump.

I can't understand how in 2024 we can get a new bike with throttle by wire that doesn't have cruise control. This is a swing and a miss by Honda as far as I can tell.

No, a riding buddy has been lusting after one for a few years now and needed some help loading. He made it 3 days into ownership and there's a warning light, though I think maybe it's for the key fob battery.

Yeah I didn't buy it, but I went along to help my riding buddy load it up.
