    2020 Cache Rally - June 18-21

    My riding buddy and I will be making the Rally - just reserved a cabin at the KOA! Will be on my 14 Tenere and Robert, HOPEFULLY, will be on the new T7!

    2013 Husqvarna 650 Terra experience anyone?

    I had one for 5 years, enjoyed riding it on gravel roads, geared it down one up front and it was much better at highway speeds. Reliable, only changed the oil. Did not make any significant changes other than comfort/fit. Sold it to a friend who crashed it, got it totaled and still sold it for...

    Kick stand so darn long. ?.

    Actually, I am interested in using your welded foot solution on the standard aluminum stand, or the steel 1st gen!

    Kick stand so darn long. ?.

    Picture? -- my tentative solution to soft surface is carrying a Fatfoot, but like the welded foot.

    Kick stand so darn long. ?.

    Poor phrasing on my part: the issue is the bike was too upright, risking (which happened) a right-side tip over. The Soupy's sidestand allows adjustable length, allowing sufficient left lean.

    Kick stand so darn long. ?.

    All the above counsel on preload, etc is helpful and accurate. My story: I ground down the stock on my 2014 ES - still too much lean I bought a Gen I steel kickstand - better, but still too much lean I finally did what I should have done from the start: bought this and fixed the problem...

    Stock or two brothers exhaust?

    When I bought by 2014 ES, it came with a Two Brothers Black Series exhaust. I finally put it on today and did a short ride: not as loud as I feared, nice steady sound under 3k rpm, but really opens up when you crack it! Some popping on decel, but not too bad. Pleased, we'll see how it wears...

    very bad design on kick stand

    You are right: I did the same thing - the two measure as identical, but the effect, for me, was as I described.

    very bad design on kick stand

    My 2014 ES was absolutely scary with the stock stand: stood just a bit off vertical, very easy to tip over to the right. I filed the aluminum one down, thought that would work, fiddled with pre-load, softness, hardness, etc. Even carried a cut-down walking stick to stabilize it. Then, one day...

    sightseeing recommendations for a Sept 2019 trip through Glacier National Park, Montana

    IMHO, other than Going to the Sun Road, is the Many Glacier Valley on the East side of the park - US 89 north out of St. Marys, turn west to the Many Glacier Valley just before Babb. Beautiful glacier-carved valley, 100 year old lodge, on and on!

    High Speed Rear Tire Deflate

    2004, 2 up, mine was a blowout at 55mph. Back wheel fishtailed right, got it up, then fishtailed left - 5 times before I let it go into the ditch to avoid oncoming traffic. Wife landed on me, was fine; I had 6 ribs and a collarbone broken, bike totaled and still pucker when I feel a bump in the...

    Large Caps for led Lights for Yamaha Super Tenere All Models ( More Pics ).

    On the H7 bulb, there are two chips, one on each side. They should be at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. Simply, chips face right and left, not up and down. There is a bottom cutoff (kinda like a ledge) on the prong the chips are mounted to, that should be at the bottom, not top. Sorry...

    Large Caps for led Lights for Yamaha Super Tenere All Models ( More Pics ).

    I just put some cheap Amazon aftermarket LEDs in - with these Caps - I got the aim wrong the first time, lighting up the roadsides and leaving a dark spot in front of the bike (yes, I have adjusted the hard-to-adjust headlight aim)! After a bit of research, and with little help from the...
