LS2 modular helmets are very nicely designed. Aside from the weight, I really enjoy wearing it for the convenience. I've recently purchased the LS2 Infinity and the HJC i30 open face helmets. Thought they are much lighter since they're 'open' face helmets, the HJC i30 has annoying hight...

Curious, has anyone reverted from ES model to standard set up on the suspension? I've noticed recently that while riding, I can feel my front end 'rebounding' harder than the rear. I want to reduce the dampning on the just the front, but unable to do so, unless I physically change the internal...

Well, the S10 is on the big & heavy side, just like the KTM big Adventure series, BMW GS series & etc. But, I think all that depends on the 'rider' him/herself. 'Leverage' is a BIG deal on this bike...I'm 5'8" and 31" inseam, so naturally I have my seat in the lower position to accomodate my...

I'm sorry to hear that Kurgan. But, keep the "passion" burning!

Slovenija, You might be limited on what can be done while your bike is all stock condition. It's probably best if you can contact a shop where ECU Flash service is provided & get the details. I have a 2018 XT12es with K&N filter & Arrow collectors/down-tube using stock muffler. I had my...

Yep...keep them until you decide to sell your bike then swap all the after market upgrades with OEM parts before selling it. Then sell the 'good' parts to get some returns on your investments.

Cooler the ambient temperature the oil temperature doesn't rise as fast which affects fuel economy due to more viscous state of the engine oil. I used to have air/oil cooled Duc MTS1100 which had the same issue when riding in 'cold' weather. The shop mechanic told me to 'cover' the oil coolers...

I come from 2016 BMW R1200GS which had 125Bhp & the S10 definately feels 'under powered' compared to that & the S10 weights 55lbs more than the R1200GS. That being said, I do NOT miss the additional bhp at all. The electrickery is more than sufficeint for the way I ride and I can take the S10...

Tenman, Well the ECU on my S10 can be removed relatively easiler from its mounted position. From what I saw at 2WDW, all that's requried is plugging in the correct connectors to yoru laptop with the proper app for down/up loading fuel map which really doesn't take much. However, the most...

PNWriderr, Im in Beaverton ... we should set up a time to meet up & do a quick ride? Maybe we can catch a break between rain ...

Trust me guys, I have a much better respect for them power lines now! I have filed a claim with the power company & I'm sure they'll take their time reviewing it & attempt to avoid paying out anything. I've also got a video of the incident which I did not provide them, just still shots. I...

I had the GoPro gunning and it recorded everything ... it was surprising/scray how fast all that materials got destroyed by the wire! I've totally been underestimating the stregth and the weight of those power lines up to now!

Yuuuup! GOD is GOOD to me! :) Things 'could've' been MUCH worse.

Guys ... I'm having one hell of a "luck" with my bike recently. First it was my OEM luggage carrier, now, I need more parts! I was riding over this past weekend and apparently there was a down power pole on a parallel road that I was riding. Well, the downed power pole apparently had some...
