I installed some HyperLites this morning. Tapped into existing wiring. This thread was most useful in identifying everything... http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=1478.msg26078#msg26078

With only 7500 miles on mine and no really long, challenging trips I've yet to bond to the ST's character. On the GS it was the ride up to Prudhoe Bay where I bonded with the bike. Not sure where this type of bonding will occur on the ST. Will probably take it west toward the end of June to run...

There's a big difference between a soar ass and monkey butt. A soar ass is, well, soar for various reasons. Could be a bad seat or simply just a long day in the saddle. There's only one cause of monkey butt, though... It's a combination of not wiping your ass well enough to remove all of the...

I installed Hyper-Lites u32 kit this morning and configure it to blink for 5 seconds before going solid. Mounted them just above the brake lights. They won't fix stupid, but they are an attention getter, for sure.

thanks for all of the information. because of it, i was able to do it right the first time. thanks!

i've run octanes 85, 87 89 and 93 and haven't noticed a difference in performance, mileage or otherwise, but then i'm not tuned into or as sensitive as some other folks. generally, i use the highest octane available, but i'll use whatever's available and not worry about it.

I would make them just like Happy Trail panniers - http://happy-trail.com - so I just buy them from them. :) The things I dig about the HT panniers... * Top-loading * Waterproof * Lockable * Sturdy * Easy to Install * Multi-point Mounting System * Excellent Customer Service

i get chills every time i see that, bob. thought about you last week when i was rolling through chattanooga on the way to JAX. that 24/75 interchange area is a mess.

giddyup. i'm a fan of grip puppies too. have then on the tenere and ST13.

don't sweat it. i don't think there's anyone who "kinda" likes a corbin. so you're either going to love it or hate it. my history with corbin is short. they're hard. if you like a hard seat, you did the right thing. :) i have a demanding ass and went with a day-long just like my other bikes. my...

picked up the bike on august 8th, 2011. 600 mile service on august 13, 2011. since then only 5432 miles on the tenere. changed the oil and installed the alt rider skid plate today... finally. planning on spending some time on the road and the tenere this year.

damn. what a shi**y way to bust up the bike and yourself. at least he had insurance.

that is too cool. i think i need buy another yamaha. :)

if you heal as quickly as time flies, you'll be riding in no time at all. hope the surgery goes well and you're able to ride the super t out onto the road where it belongs.

i installed a new ohlins rear shock... and installed some blue bling that i found at the auto parts store yesterday when buying some spare fuses...
