    Fredericksburg, TX: SuperTenere wanted for Olympia photo shoot, free gear offer

    Guess I missed this one. I was in Buda for the MotoGP races the weekend of the 9th and then went to F'Burg on the 12th for a few days of riding. But my S10 was certainly not clean.

    OEM Yamaha Headlight Cover (Obsolete) ??

    I bought one from CeeBailey's. Have one on my BMW K1200LT for 14 years. They are easily removed/re-installed for cleaning. http://www.ceebaileys.com/yamaha/tenere_hdlg.html

    Gee, I wish I purchased a KTM or BMW!

    I have owned a KTM 950 and a BMW GS Adventure. The KTM is the ONLY bike I have ever owned that left me stranded(half way between Tres Piedras and Chama,NM...water pump went out). The GSA was ok but I did not like the motor. Those jugs sticking out to the sides just seemed like a disaster...

    Hyper-lites install?

    I have a set of Hyper-lites I'm wanting to install on the S10. My problem is locating the wiring for brake lights and turn signals. Wondering if anyone here has installed a set on their S10. I got a Service manual but it doesn't tell how to access the wiring. I suppose I could find them up...

    Does anyone have a non-farkled bike and happy?

    I enjoyed it right off the showroom floor; however, I do a couple of long rides each year so I prefer a few goodies. I added bar risers(I'm 6'4"), factory side cases, protection bars(hate to call them "crash" bars), skid plate and GPS holder. I still need to get a headlight protector. Still...

    Hello, my name is Bob

    I've never had a BMW leave me stranded but dealers are few, not like Yamaha. The GTL is pretty complicated and loaded with options I have never used. I liked my KTM 950 but it did leave me stranded once due to water pump failure...ruined my trip to Utah. With KTM dealers not very plentiful I...

    Hello, my name is Bob

    After taking my GTL in for service due to a factory recall and some needed computer updates and having to pay almost $400 for an oil change, I stopped in at my local Yamaha dealer. They have one Super Ten on the showroom floor for $12700...2013 model in matte gray. Good looking bike. Would...
