There probably is (or close) - sometimes takes some experimentation. +1 CalSci large +1 RF noisy, Qwest quiet on the Tenere

Rotella T 15w-40 says JASO MA on the jug I have.

While looking for a solution to the non-existent helmet lock on my 12 ST, it occurred to me that the pocket created between the triple clamp/handlebars and gas tank might be leveraged for such a task. I created a prototype using a teaspoon, random length of 3/4" PVC pipe and a 3/4" PVC pipe...

Almost new - used twice. Decided the Qwest is a better helmet for me, so the RF-1100 must go. As close to new as used can get - no nicks or odors, plus original box and parts. Purchased 4/14, Sticker says manufactured 12/12, so plenty left on the warranty. Solid white, size XL. $280, includes...

That car resembles my wife's car after shuttling four kids around for 5 years. Did not help trade-in value (a generous "fair" rating). Perhaps if I had explained the possible 11% gas mileage boost...

Squirrel!

This video is compelling. Anyone know how real it is, or if it is likely to be seen on the ST or other Yamaha bikes anytime soon? KTM's Uncrashable Bike: New Bosch ABS | News | Motorcyclenews.com

All quad armor. Pants are standard ultraII stretch kevlar with zip attachment to jacket.

So, I wasn't able to get the mesh in white, but I did get them to special order the stretch kevlar in white. Very pleased with the results.

There seems to be one flavor of the Next (V rated), whereas the EXP had a special C spec for the Tenere. Anyone know what's different about a C spec EXP, and whether or not that's important when selecting a Next (or any other tire not officially blessed by Yamaha for the Tenere)?

Re: Very hard starting today Same experience for me yesterday (thanks to the Forum - WOT fixed me up). Rode the bike 3 days prior, no problem. Last stint after bike sitting for 6 hours was about 10-20 seconds up the driveway. About 70 degrees F and sunny in call cases. On hard start...

LOL suicide bugs... I like white because it tends to be most visible (based on my personal observations). I've had a white leather jacket for many years with no dirt issues (bugs or otherwise). One of the upsides to living in San Diego, and mostly commuting, I suppose. I also have a decade...

So... I'm sold on Motoport Air Mesh Kevlar, but I would really like it in white. I talked to Wayne "the Motoport guy", and the lo-down is that he needs to sell about 40 jacket/pant combos or 70 jackets to justify his minimum buy of material. Anyone interested in acquiring white air mesh gear...

So, last year my SO decides she wants to paint - lots of fruits and bottles and such rendered in oil and acrylic on canvas adorning the walls around the house. Then one day, this shows up, snagged from a frame of video she captured during my daily commute a few weeks back. She calls it...
