I live on the east coast of Canada so it is hard to ride all year long. But after I put the S10 away for the winter I keep a little Honda CRF in the carport and take it out for short jaunts on sunny days when there is not too much ice and salt on the roads. Its usually fun but kinda cold up...
Thanks to everyone on the forum for your advice and encouragement. Everyone is very helpful. I took some of the play out of the throttle cables, but don't feel competent enough to start messing with throttle bodies and other more technical stuff. I have started to really focus on the throttle...
2018 ES - great bike - twitchy throttle is bothersome. Use cruise control on hwys but the jerky throttle is an issue on gravel roads and mild first gear hill climbs. I am 65 years old and am not looking for more power so I do not need a flash or reflash or whatever they call it. But am wondering...
I hate to start another tire thread, but I am looking for a front tire that has grip but doesn't sing too much on the highway. I had the K60 Scouts on my previous bike (2016 VStrom 650) and was really happy with the rear. But the front was pretty loud at highway speeds. My 2018 Super T has 12000...
I am in Fredericton but like to ride the back roads around Moncton, Sussex and Fundy Ntl Park. I am retired so get out thru the week when not as many people are on the roads.
I like it - great job. Looks like it will do the trick. Its nice not having to pay thru the nose for every addition to the bikes. Did you have to heat and bend the plexiglass and how thick is it? You have inspired me to give it a try as opposed to shelling out big bucks for a piece of plastic...
I would advise folks to consider getting an old school "mechanical key" cut to use to open the panniers and unlock the seat. I use the electronic key for the ignition only and the mechanical key for everything else to save a little wear and tear on the good key. The pannier locks on my 2018 ST...
Hey Rick where did you get your wind deflectors? The dealer wants some serious $ for two pieces of plastic! It has been a lengthy winter here on the east coast. Hopefully we can get the bikes out in another three weeks or so!
thanks,

Hey I'm from the east coast of Canada and looking to find other ST riders out here. I am in Freddy, NB. Went from a HD Ultra to a VStrom 650 and finally last year to a 2018 ST 1200 ES - have only ridden bout 10k kms on it so far - went to West Virginia and back - no regrets - great bike - am...
