If you buy a new Mitas it will be good to go ::008::

Glad it turned out helpful ::003::

If anybody is interested I did a review over on ADV rider. http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=926299

http://www.mx1canada.com/mitas-e07-dual-sport-rear-tire.html I wouldn't bother with the Dakar version. Especially if you are running a lot of sand. The Dakar is stiffer to help guard against pinch flats. Absolute best tire for the S10 IMHO.

DO you notice much in the way of increased vibration, when you get rid of the stock rubber pegs?

Forgot to mention I have a MRA windscreen that is wider than stock. I might need to break out the dremel an give it a trim.

I'm considering this swap as well... I'm already just about to touch the windscreen at full lock with my hand guards though and its going to be bad with even less sweep. Is there a simple solution?

I've noticed mine runs at 165 as well, when its cold out. Must be where they set the thermostat. I'm sure they picked that temp for a reason no? Indeed. ::021::

That file is simply awesome. Thanks for linking to that. I love learning the nuances of my bike ::008::

NO MORE BIKES for a while.... ::014::

You won't even recognize the jumbled mess that it was. Yes I've had a kerosine heater in it for years. Worked surprisingly well considering it was uninsulated.

Thats a sweet looking machine. Tail chop and clip-ons and its perfect ::022::

Sweet!! Should be a fun winter project. I'm actually in the middle of totally renovating my garage at the moment. Insulation, drywall, floors.....

Yup... That local was me. All statements above are accurate. I'm glad I was able to sample the difference valving makes because now I want to do it next year. I would say its worth the money if you are a suspension connoisseur. The springs make the biggest difference for sure though.

Thanks for the input. Would you say one days work is reasonable for a competent mechanic?
