I was just curious as to how the weight would compare to my Peli cases.

Do you have weight for them?

A short while ago I took apart my ES shock and found that only the compression side is adjustable. In the pictures below there is a standard looking piston with normal compression and rebound shim stacks and a hole at the top of the shock cylinder leading to the electronic adjuster. The only way...

Hi, I live close to Fishguard and it would be great to meet another S10 owner but this is bad timing because on Wed I will be on my way to the ferry. However a few suggestions to see would be Newgale Beach, the cathedral in St Davids, the road over the Preseli Hills (B4329) but watch out for...

Is anyone on here going ?

I'm off to Spain on Wednesday for three weeks and will probably do a clockwise loop using some of Ride Magazine's routes weather permitting. Have been a few times before at this time of year and as long as plans are flexible the weather is not usually a problem. Brittany Ferries are doing the...

WJ, I was only talking about shocks in my first post on this, so bringing in forks just confuses things as the fork cartridges are mounted the opposite way to the shock. As we know any damping only works when oil is forced under pressure through an orifice and on the shock rebound stroke the...

I had a MKII Versys 1000 before my S10, it was a great bike especially with Maxton suspension upgrades. The agility was amazing, however when it passed 14k miles or so it started to develop a gearbox wine which drove me nuts so it had to go. The tube of U has many vids of noisy gearboxes from...

I also recently upgraded the shock spring for something slightly stiffer and looking at the shock while it was off the bike the damping adjustment is at the top of the shock. On every shock I have seen the rebound adjustment is at the bottom and compression at the top. This makes sense when you...

It is also possible to heat the plastic hook under the seat and bend it to suit

I've been a big fan of Givi Airflow screens for a while, starting with one on my Versys 1000 and now have one on my S10 but with Touratec adjustable brackets for a MKI. I've also tried the old Versys Airflow on the S10, it is a bit wider so better for colder weather.....but have not done a lot...

Also had my letter today, but like others it will have to wait until springtime.

I was thinking of adding light bar too, which one have you gone for ?

When I did my seat levelling mod I heated up the tongue with a hot air gun and bent it to where it needed to be, also it can be reversed if it ever need to be out back to stock.
