    darkside / car tire ????

    Good find. I ran a set on a car, and the rubber/silica compound is softer, but fairly long wearing. For a bike, there is decent sidewall flex. I'll probably put one on my bike this summer when the riding season picks up.

    Burning oil ? Adding oil ?

    I have been wondering about this myself, and am happy to see others with similar experience. My 2012 has 28,000 miles on it now, and I've had to top off the oil twice after seeing the oil light come on. It normally burns 1/2 quart in 2-3k miles of sustained high speed (80-90 mph) commuting and...

    Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR

    I can say these tires handle deep sand better than any other 50/50 tire I've experienced. I mounted the front by itself, and the ride was quiet. After spooning on the rear, it hums a bit over 40, and gets noisy over 65. I'll post final mileage when these are worn out.

    How old are you Super Ten rider?

    I'm 29, and have been riding since I was 8. Would have gotten a S10 when they first came out, but I was still post-college broke at the time.

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Took a trip the the New Jersey Pine barrens AKA Wharton State Forest. Had a chance to pretend I was in the Dakar Rally, but couldn't hop off and get pictures of the good trails. Respect for anyone who rides in deep sand.

    Hey, you found me. I live near Princeton, and work in Philly. Haven't seen anybody else on the same bike in CNJ either.

    WTB - Rear Racks (Any Brand)

    Thanks, I checked that out. At $350-400 for just the racks, it really makes the former KLR owner within me cringe a little bit. I've made my own rack before, just hoping to avoid wasting a weekend grinding, welding, and painting. Also, I see the Tenere as a 'nicer' bike, and feel like it...

    WTB - Rear Racks (Any Brand)

    Do all of the Jesse brackets have a left side offset for the exhaust? I'm looking for something symmetrical to mount pelican cases.

    RTW trip, and service needed..[NEWARK NJ HELP NEEDED]

    Edit: Just say that I'm late to the game with this post. https://www.martinmoto.com/ If you want to drive an extra hour West from Philadelphia to Martin Motorsports, I've had great luck with them. They have taken stuff apart on my bike, only to say nothing needs to be fixed, etc. MartinMoto...

    darkside / car tire ????

    I got an easy 30,000 from the same tire in a 205/50/17 on my old FZ1. Looking forward to running a car tire on my new Tenere when the rear wears out.

    The Darkside.......

    I used a 205/50/17 on my 2011 FZ1 for 30,000 miles without any issues. It was nice having rear tires last longer than fronts. It did miles of burnouts over all types of off-road terrain, and handled just fine well above posted speed limits on Pocono Mountain twisty roads. If anyone has a...
