    Avon Storm 3D X-M Experience?

    I'm looking to replace my current Michelin Anakee 3 tires on my Super Téneré. My riding is 99% street, the S10 is used as my 2-up Sport Tourer so I am looking for a good Sport Touring street tire. I've read some good tings about the Avon Storm 3D X-M tires and they seem to be reasonably priced...

    Battery Tender Hookup Question

    I finally got this project finished today. I swapped in the Tyco relays, connected the Battery Tender to the main relay normally closed terminal, mounted the main and horn relays with official Yamaha push pin connectors (from my old FJR1300), and wire tied all the wiring. I made some new horn...

    Battery Tender Hookup Question

    Thanks again for the help and compliments. I have somewhat accidentally stumbled upon a solution I like much better than using the starter solenoid posts as Battery Tender hookup points. While putting my power distribution panel together I used a relay I picked up at a local auto parts store...

    Battery Tender Hookup Question

    I made more progress tonight. I got the front dash panel and rear peg mount Powerlet outlets and heated grips wired to the panel. I also removed some questionable connectors and soldered the connections. I still have to wire in a horn relay for the Fiamm Dual Tone horns I'm installing and the...

    Battery Tender Hookup Question

    I am in the process of adding a similar (and cheaper) power distribution panel under the seat. My bike came with a lot of electrical accessories and I don't like how all the wiring and fuses were behind the side panel. The bike has crash bars so accessing the electrical panel is not simple...

    Battery Tender Hookup Question

    I have a question about hooking up a Battery Tender pigtail. I already have a couple additional ring connectors for accessories attached to my battery posts which make it hard to get the screws started. I am wondering if it would be okay to hook the battery tender to the starter solenoid? There...

    Thanks for the warm welcome! To answer Swagger's question about the decals. I will probably remove the large decals on the bags but leave the rest. I have no problem promoting GSM Motorent and Twisted Throttle. They have both been very good to me. GSM and Twisted Throttle had a working agreement...

    Hi All! I want to introduce myself to the forum. I am a lifetime rider an and off road. I have owned many bikes over the years but picked up my first big adventure bike last fall. It is a 2012 Super Téneré that has been tricked out by Twisted Throttle. It was a rental bike at GSM Motorent in...
