I got my order from Eastern Beaver today. I would have had it sooner, but he shipped it signature required and I work long hours. I got the Aux connector and the Y-splitter. Now I can install my Garmin Zumo XT and my LED light bar... I'm still deciding on which items to pack and what gear...

My recently acquired 2012 model has spokes that still shine like new. It must be a combination of location and other contaminants from the road causing your issue... I looked at a few bikes that were closer to the coast and they all had surface rust in various locations... I'd treat it with a...

Yeah, as already mentioned, that windscreen is mounted waaaayyy too high. I can't stand excessive wind noise. My S10 came with 2 windscreens, the Puig Touring and the MRA Vario screen with the Madstad bracket. I currently have the MRA mounted and have found the perfect height and winglet...

If it's a good deal and in good condition, then I say buy it. I was in the same situation as you a few months back. I decided on a 2012 Gen 1. It popped up on CL a few mins away from me, so I had to go check it out. It was a low mile original owner bike in immaculate condition and had some...

Thanks, the recalls were completed by the previous owner. I wasn't even aware of it and he was kind enough to mention it to me.

I guess I should start a thread about my upcoming trip I have been planning for a few months now. I plan to leave May 25th from the Bay Area, California and ride all the way to Charleston, South Carolina. I'll take my time on Route 66 and then whichever route I so choose after that. I'm...

I was just doing some searching on here and I'm now wondering if these 2 wires are part of the Gen 1 recall. The previous owner did mention that there were 2 recalls done having to do with wiring and the only thing he added was the heated grips...I'll leave them alone for now. I like the idea...

I’m installing a LED light bar and a Garmin GPS. I took the side panel off and I found the triangular 3 wire plug. I also have heated grips installed from the previous owner. I was wondering if I could power the light bar and the GPS from the same factory AUX circuit, or could I tap into the...

If I can get even 10,000 out of a set of tires I'd be happy. I'll definitely look into the Dunlop Trailmax Mission. Thanks for the suggestion... I went for my first real ride today and I gotta say this bike is awesome! Not as peppy as my MT09, that's for sure. But the suspension feels soooo...

Just wanted to post up to confirm I’m not a bot or spammer and make sure the mods don’t delete my account…LOL I recently sold my 2018 MT09 because I’m planning a cross country trip (Bay Area, CA-Charleston, SC), and even though I absolutely loved the MT, it wouldn’t cut the mustard for such a...
