Ordered through eBay, but I believe it was from Chapparal Motorsports.

They do look like the Shinko 705, but the gap spacing is wider. http://www.fullboretires.com/adventuretouring.html

I put 7,700 miles on the rear. Paid $90 for a new one. Just picked it up from mounting and it took 1/2 ounce to balance.

I'm in Minooka with a 2012. Just rolled 30,000 miles, and getting ready to ride up to the CADVR rally later this week.

Just a point of reference for others as well as some historical documentation for myself. I put on a pair of Full Bore M40 (radial) tires at 22,300 miles. I'm getting ready to head out on a trip, so I've replaced the rear tire as it was nearing the end. I probably could have commuted on it...

Thanks for the heads up. I've been running the bike 50 miles round trip to work for several days now. No drips on the pavement, so I'm crossing my fingers that it was just the wonky filter.

Thanks for the suggestions and input. I replaced it this past weekend with a Mobil 1 M1-108 filter. I verified it was the concave style of filter before purchasing. No more leaks, and I was able to just top it off. Again, prior to the big leak I noticed, I had the bike sitting on the side...

Second guessed myself so I had to go check. Turns out I used the Purolator PL14612 this time around. Seems weird that it made it this long without leaking, but I bet that's the problem.

I used a Wix filter this time, but I've had it on there for better than 1,000 miles.

Maybe I can get this lucky. I've been using my original crush washers since the beginning. I know, I'm a cheapskate...

It definitely wasn't there and it was definitely oil, not gas. I've done the overfilled, puking gas tank game before. I was actually at ~1/4 tank when this occurred. The skid plate does tilt slightly forward when on the center stand, so I figure that whatever was leaking had pooled at the...

This idea slightly crossed my mind, but I didn't fully look at that yet. Another option to check on though. Thank you.

It's been off road, but not for a couple of years, and even then it was with the bash plate on. That plate isn't letting anything past it either. Bombproof!!!

OK, so I'll wholly admit to not keeping up on all the "regular" issues on the S10. I have really just ridden it and enjoyed it. This past weekend I was preparing for a bike trip with my wife. I replaced my rear brake pads as they were getting down there. I took the bike for a couple mile...

Thanks. Got it figured out. The fuel line looked good, but kinked when fully down. Rerouted and back to good. Thanks again!
