    What does a 6 gal fill look like?

    A dumb question. How do you punch holes in the filler neck without getting metal crud in the tank?

    Is This Tyre Wear Common

    I have Michelan Anakee Adventure tyres installed on my S10 & have travelled 8,000 km. The tyres look as if I might get another 2,000 km, if I am lucky. I nearly always travel with a pillion & all up body weight about 200 kg, plus fully loaded with luggage. Roads used include major highways &...

    Trackers ?

    Zoleo is not a mapping tool. It is a messaging tool that you can use for tracking. Zoleo uses the Iridium satellite system and the mobile network (whichever is the cheaper/available). Cost me about AU$300 and costs AU$32 per month. After 3 months you can suspend/unsuspend as required. Costs me...

    How can I make my Tenere comfortable for distance riding?

    That's for sure. Its not going anywhere (except on trips). It doesn't go anywhere unless its travelling at least 1000 km. I have had the seats modified by MJM since this photo was taken. Now its good for all day travel. On that trip 1/3 of the trip we experienced 46 deg C. Other trips -6 deg C.

    How can I make my Tenere comfortable for distance riding?

    Maybe. Worked for us on a trip from southern NSW to Townsville ( a bit over 2000 km each way). Tar all the way. Bike was loaded to the max with pillion and luggage. Rider & pillion over 200 kg.

    How can I make my Tenere comfortable for distance riding?

    Nah. Soft -3 is the softest setting allows the suspension to move more over potholes bumps etc

    How can I make my Tenere comfortable for distance riding?

    If you have the S10 with ES and travel on crappy roads like we have in OZ, set the suspension to Soft -3. Very comfy for touring all day.

    Hi guys, anybody imported and fitted McCRUISE to the UK

    Here is the site for the manufacturer's (in Melbourne Australia). My recently acquired Kawasaki 1400 GTR had one installed. I went to the manufacturer's to check and update the cruise. It is a nice piece of kit (better than the OEM on my S10) and they are very nice to deal with...
