    Valve Adjustment Nightmare!

    I just got a text from my brother telling me about your problem. Sorry there isn't much I can do to help from here, but I hope it all gets sorted out soon.

    HARD START

    Re: Very hard starting today I went for a nice long ride on Saturday. Got the bike a little muddy, so I washed it yesterday. Concerned that both the previous washes left me with a non-starting bike the next morning I fired it up when I was done and rode for about 10 miles down the highway to...

    HARD START

    Re: Very hard starting today Yeah, I just wanted to clear up the weather/climate/gasoline issue. It is a bike problem, not some outside source problem. The issue is with the Tenere itself . . . somewhere ::010::

    HARD START

    Re: Very hard starting today I just now went back through and read the rest of this thread where people are trying to figure out if it is weather/gasoline related. Let me just get something out right now. I have 9 motorcycles in my garage. They all start just fine in the same weather...

    HARD START

    Re: Very hard starting today Last time it happened, full throttle got me going pretty quickly. This time it didn't seem to do much. Yes, there was fuel smell. In the end, it finally caught at full throttle, but I tried full, none, and everything in between many, many times.

    HARD START

    Re: Very hard starting today I'll add another one here since I was asked to. This is the 2nd time I've had this problem. This time was the same as last time. I washed my bike ::010:: I thought that maybe last time I didn't get the bike warm enough after I dried it off and "put it away...

    Adventure Rider Magazine having 10th Anniversary ride

    I've been attending this ride since 2005. Great people, great riding, who could ask for more? Most of the trails are not so well suited for big bikes (like the Tenere), but there are still plenty of places one could explore on a big bike if he were so inclined.

    Buying A ST Out Of State

    I bought a new bike out of state and had to go there to sign paperwork for the loan. If I was paying cash they would have shipped it to me, but since I was using their financing I had to take the time to go pick it up half-way across the country. Getting a personal loan at a local bank and...

    Delivery Dates

    There are 268 orders in the US accounted for on ADV at the moment and I'm 100% positive that not everybody who has ordered one is a member of ADV.

    GROUP BUY! V2 Micatech Bags!

    I'll probably just buy a standard top box, then get whatever mounting plate you come up with after the bikes start shipping. I wasn't one of the first ones ordered, so I think I'll have plenty of time to wait before I even have a bike to put it on.

    GROUP BUY! V2 Micatech Bags!

    I've got a question for Micatech. I was going to ask directly via email, but figured the others here might be interested also . . . I would also like a top box. I know you don't have a mount made up for the S10 yet, but would it be possible to mount your top box to either the stock rear...

    AltRider products for the Tenere

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but I just wanted to put my thoughts out here on the skidplate . . . I've bought a few skidplates for other bikes I've had and have never had to pay more than $100. Yours is $220 more than the most expensive plate I've ever bought. I understand there is...
