    My bizarre & seemingly unsolvable cruise control issues...hoping for new ideas.

    I have a blinking cruise control icon which of course knocks the cruise control off. I turned on the ignition switch and set the cruise control on and started squeezing the front brake lever and the icon began to blink and an error code 090 appeared on the dashboard. I tried to manipulate the...

    Where to buy Givi Trekker?

    I have a question about motostorm purchases because while they are cheaper than US sites are there customs duties and other charges that crop up? If the total cost is the item cost plus shipping that would be OK.

    Rekluse Clutch for The Super Tenere

    I have a question or two. Did the Rekluse clutch make it possible to shift by just rolling off the throttle? Were you able to shift both up and down without pulling the clutch in?

    What do we now think of the bike

    Lubricate the shift foot lever pivot bolt!,!! Use lithium grease. I had s devil of a time downshifting until I did that.

    What do we now think of the bike

    Got a new 2015 ES in late December and had long second thoughts about it. Especially since I was coming from a paddle shifting FJR and a Honda DCT. Just wasn't sure I liked this gear shifting thing. I put the bike up for sale on Craigslist and then took off out of the country for two weeks. I...

    Givi rear luggage rack weight capacity

    The Givi rear luggage rack on the Super Tenere says that 6 kg is the maximum weight allowed. I have a GIVI 46 liter Trekker case on it and it weighs about 6 kg empty. I usually put about another 6-7 kg in the case so my question is what horrible thing is going to befall me? I can't imagine that...

    Rekluse Clutch for The Super Tenere

    I sent the clutch and the screws and the modified clutch boss back to EFM this morning so Garry will have those parts by the end of the week. He may be willing to sell them to you. I wish you the best of luck. It turns out that I didn't really need the 3/8" spacer but there was some shimming to...

    Rekluse Clutch for The Super Tenere

    The part that makes it hard for me is that each adjustment costs about $100 in shop time and the EFM instructions for riding and shifting are less than clear. I might have made it work but I didn't know about the technique until after I abandoned the project. I have just run out of Benjamins to...

    Rekluse Clutch for The Super Tenere

    Unfortunately I am going to have to call it quits with the EFM clutch. I couldn't get the shifting to be effortless, in fact it was extremely picky about everything and I even got stuck in 1st gear despite my multiple attempts to get it to shift upward--throttle blipping, preloading the shifter...

    Revzilla looks to be selling out to Cyclegear.

    Well, this is really bad news. Revzilla was one place where prices were right, shipping was free, and there was no sales tax. Let me repeat that last one, no sales tax. Now that they have a California presence they will have to charge sales tax unless they keep the brand separate somehow.
