Gave the old girl her first clean since I don't know when.

The limited space is the worst part. It makes it very difficult to get the valve cover off, and back on with the gasket staying where it needs to be.
well found out today, that the 3 weeks my bike was in the garage having mccruise fitted then riding it and mccruise working brilliant but bike having the warning light on every ride after, the error code was showing MAP SENSOR , mccruise saying our kit has no wiring or connection to MAP SENSOR, so very very confusing,
any way yep MAP sensor failed at the same time mccruise was being fitted, found out anyway over here in the UK i,m the 5th guy that a map sensor has failed on and needed replacing once done bikes good to go no errors, i actually thought i was the only one that had a issue with thisbut hay ho getting back on the road now

This is the second time it has been done. I found that if you remove three fasteners holding the brake lines,and zip tying to the left side of the frame, the valve cover will come straight out with no twisting.

I need to do mine soon! Birds sit on the edge of the wind screen and poo down it while I am at work!

I do not know where to post this here but if anyone is looking for replacement OEM side cases or parts for theirs there’s a set off of a 2017 S10 for sale on Eugene OR CL right now for $50.00.

What size is the dash accessory bar on a S10? 12mm?
Use a caliper?

Why don’t I rephrase the question as I work as a machinist and am intimately familiar with using measuring devices (including calipers) on a day to day basis…
Could someone here please confirm for me that the diameter of the accessory bar on the S10 dash is 12mm? Currently my bike is parked inside my friend’s garage about 10 miles away. My friend is working out of town today and rather than drive over and make the measurement myself right now I thought it might be easier to ask the question here on the Super Tenere forum where quite possibly someone knows the dimension of said accessory bar off the top of their head. I want to order a GPS mount for an incoming Garmin Zumo XT, thus the question. Thanks.

Thank you.
Fair enough, in that case the answer for the gen2 is in the picture, good luck with your project.
Yep… that’s the face I made
I can imagine your temperament as you were writing this…
Mine is a gen-1 but I’m not sure if the bar is genuine original as I bought the bike second hand. It’s about 5/8. I think I had to buy a special clamp to fit my Zumo XT.

The marc parnes wheel balance assy showed up yesterday, so I had the opportunity to rebalance a couple tires and compare it to the harbor freight piece.
Marc parnes advertises his cone to rod play as .002. That is what I measured. The harbor freight piece measured .007. The MP cone is of course CNC milled, the HB piece looked like it was cast. The MP rod is hardened steel, the HB piece looked like it may be coated with something, couldn't really tell what that operation was. There was a big difference in the quality of the bearings, much noticeable.
All in, either will do the job, depends what kind of job you want to do. The MP is almost too good. I split a 1/4 oz or 7 gram weight to come to terms with the front wheel on the ST, and could have shaved a bit off that if I was looking for 'perfection'.
Plan to do some riding today and looking forward to see if the engine has smoothed out any
