It was one of the parts. I gave up on repairing the mount. Replacing it with a more reliable alternative is on my list now. Thank you!

Check your air temp and engine coolant temp sensor readings. Prior to setting a code, a temp sensor can be off enough to cause air/fuel mix problems.

I am done trying to make the Givi mounts work. I purchased some Mosko Moto soft bags. After removing all of the Givi hardware, and adding a 1/8" spacer,(aluminum flatbar the same shape as the provided metal Mosko mounting plates that preclude the grinding off of the Givi bracket's holes) the...

I use the Airhawk XL on long trips, and only for every other tank of fuel. Changing up the pressure points gives me a little more endurance. Now it's my hands, back, and shoulders, that aren't lasting. But that's a posture problem, for me... I don't strap it to the seat, so I can't stand up...

I needed both sides, and new lid seals. I'm going to stick with the Mosko Moto bags, since switching back and forth is a pain. Maybe I can get some of the Mosko mounts for the Givi boxes... Hmmm...

Sensors degrade with mileage as well as age. If the temps are far enough off, the bike will run poorly as it sets the wrong fuel delivery. Watch the coolant temp and air temp readouts as the bike warms up. Verify the temps, if you can, with an IR gauge. If not a temp issue, and all the regular...

I also have the T-Rex highway pegs, mounted to the SW Motec bars. I strap the Mosco Moto Duffel to the backseat as a backrest. I have a Givi Topcase that keeps the duffel from sliding backwards, and use Mosco's cam straps to secure the duffel in place. The duffel will interfere with sidecase...

I have a 2oz bottle of Tri-Flow Lube in my bike tools. It has a dropper nozzle that's perfect for the shifter pivot, and most other of the s10's pivots/fulcrum points. It also has a screw-on lid that is less likely to fall of and spontaneously clean and lube the tool bag!

Don't put heavy lights on it. Ask me how I know

I am a fan of the Flents Foamies. They are quiet, comfortable, and the flange keeps me from putting them in too deep. They last about one weekend before becoming to waxy. IIRC, the smaller package at Walmart had a small carrying box that would hold one pair. It kept them from getting nasty, and...

I had a set of givi trekker outback cases. One of the latches wore out where it attaches to the bike. No replacement parts are available for these cases, aside from replacement. I won't be buying Givi cases again. With that said, I'm still using the Givi Racks as an attachment point for the...

They have a low and a high beam. They also have a small marker light, for those who don't have the "always on" law to comply with. This is the model: https://www.jwspeaker.com/products/adaptive-led-headlights-model-8691-adaptive-2/

Water alone is a better conductor of heat than the proper water/coolant mix. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/glycol-or-water-coolant/

Cowboy Mount: Foot on peg, hands on bars, swing other leg over. Keep weight on side stand's side, whichever side you mount from.

It is my understanding that the sulfur in gear oil attacks copper and brass parts. At least that's what the amsoil guide said when I was ordering lube for my Tacoma's transmission and Tcase. It's the sulfur that protects against sliding gear tooth movement wear and makes gear oil stink

But I COULD see

I spent about $1300 on a pair of adaptive headlights that I mounted in front of the stock lights(which have been unplugged, and plasti-dipped). They light everything up better than the stock lights ever did. They also light up the inside while cornering. I do enough night riding to justify the...

I'm a fan of the MSR Windburner. Everything fits inside: fuel, burner, stand. The cooker nests inside a plastic cup, and tops off with a lid. It has enough fuel for a weekend(maybe two) of boiling water for coffee and dehydrated meals, for one person.

Looks like 12-25, to my squinty eyes. Thanks!

What size snap ring plier are needed on that?
