I'm also looking for similar input. Looking at setting up a trip along the Oregon coast, my concerns is lodging including camping, traffic, is it stupid? How far south would be recommended before heading north again and what rout would be recommended on the return?

HAHAHAHA, I just couldn't waste my day reading all the negativity this newb posted. Different strokes for different folks, if we were all the same it would be a very boring world. It's not for you, you don't like, can't figure it out, doesn't fit you or your needs, you run out of skill or lack...

Actually "BEST bike as you claim doesn't care about BEST oil" its that good. But "BEST oil as you claim is best used in certain bikes because they need all the help they can get to survive, they are that finicky, thus being short on being the BEST bike overall. Reason why internet is so good at...

But then, to talk never-EVER ending maintenance headaches, buy a f*ckingboat (yes, that's one word ;) ) or RV. Ya boats need some maintenance but that’s small potatoes compared to fuel cost to run them. My 20ft 5.7L marine power boat averages 10gallons an hour of fuel. My 55gallon tank is empty...

We always say "I sold the S10" but maybe it was the opposite, the S10 sold it self, it sounds to me. Sad day when your bestie is not anymore, relationship can be tough.

I don't think my S10 can do 95mph, never been there or maybe it can but there are no where around here that you legally can safely. IMO, ride lots, ride safe and live to ride another day.

If your fuel comes out once the fuel hose is disconnected the pressure regulator is stuck open. The regulator is a ball and spring preset for the proper fuel pressure. Essentially the pump is not building pressure but just flows the fuel back to tank now the regulator being stuck. I recommend...

Just thought I would post these pictures for those who may be running ACD skid and or Outback crash bars and considering headers. I run the combo of both. But the Arrow headers are not fitted to work with either and some minor modifications are required to fit the headers while using ACD or Outback.

Well I finally got around to trying out the newly installed Arrow headers combined with Akra muffler. The installation was back in November but never rode the bike till just recently. After rolling around 500kms on this system I am very impressed with the torque increase, it is VERY noticeable...

I'm one of the "ELITIST:cool:"....in my own little mind LOL:oops:.

I ain't ever posting on this thread, quickest way to embarrass my self. I'm completely out gunned here.

I've owned both the S10 and the GS1200, rode the GS to Panama from Vancouver Canada and back. It wasn't problem free. If you can try both, the GS definitely has a nicer ride and the power is very smooth but that comes at a high cost, with out exaggeration. The cost of ownership of any BMW is...

After coming across this, my day was ruined. I had to go home and take the day off. My head hurts with this visions. Thanks bimota

I remember when mine looked like that, first couple of scares hurt the most, after that it's just coming into its own personality. Congrat on your new toy.

They are available, I got a set from a supplier that will custom order, I had to prepay and it did take nearly 3months but it came in the time frame given by supplier. I'm in Canada, in US it should be way easier for you to source these out.

Sooo, when they changed the plugs, do you know if the plug gap was adjusted. 2 sets of plugs in 1000kms then a misfire, points to improper sparkplug gap. Plug set too wide will eventually misfire, sooner then later. ALWAYS check sparkplug gap and set accordingly before installation.

Is that one of those "windup" one? You know crankup the spring and release. Not that I understand the language but 5400kms on a windup..WOW, that's a lot of crankings.

What happens if you unfortunately drop one of them, you know on one of those adventure rides. Does the geeky stuff still keeps geeking or you have to have it taken in. Just asking for a friend cause he doesn't like couch surfing while I'm trail blazing on my outdated moto. Also what is the...

I don't have a clue as I never kept track. I wore out a set of tires if that says anything. That reminds me, I do need to order some LOL.
