So I might have completely and horribly destroyed my clutch. Maybe the #1 friction plate was completely destroyed. If that were to have happened, say trying to get out of a very irritating stretch of deep and soft sand I would be looking to get a new clutch (as well as pressure plate and...

With the lack of good documentation on the ACD Skid plate installation I thought I would outline my installation here. I've been meaning to post this thread since I installed it back in March but tings kept getting in the way. So you bought a nice new ACD skid plate and want it on the bike...

So as far as I can tell the Yamaha ABS test couplers are unobtainoum now. I ordered the last one I saw as in stock from a random Yamaha dealer but it turns out they were wrong. Anyway that said I know it's not completely necessary and I have gone through procedure without but I'm thinking of...

Let me start out by saying that I know this isn't really a day trip but it sure as hell isn't an epic. Now without any further prepare to be bored by my many words and pictures! I've been meaning to post this ride report since July. I keep almost doing it then get busy at work and blow it off...

Hello, I wanted to post up here about a project I did back in July. While preparing for a week-long motorcycle camping trip I wanted a good way to carry my camera that was easy to get to. After some research of various bags I came up with a Wolfman Blackhawk as my target. The Blackhawk is...

Those of you that know me know that I'm the radio guy for the Death Valley Noobs Rally. While I have this reputation as a ham radio guy I'm really quite terrible at it. I only use my radios directly with my outdoor activities. I hardly ever sit in a basement in stained underwear talking down to...

Hello all, Back in February of 2019 I bought a very low mile 2019 Super Tenere halfway on impulse. I had been meaning to pick up a big Adv bike to supplement my 1990 DR350 for some time and a deal came up at the right time for me. The bike was shiny, had clearly hardly left the garage, and had...

I poked around and didn't see any mention but have people seen seeing front wheel bearings fail kinda early? My 2016 has about 9,000 miles on it and the front bearing started making a loud clucking today. Odd sound but I brought it home then took the wheel down this evening and it feels a bit...

Anybody who has Altrider bars found a good set of tank panniers that fit well with them? Thanks

I've been wanting a camera system for both the bikes and cars for some time but am a bit of a stickler on not wanting some big ugly thing hanging off a windscreen. After a bit of researching and querying of some friends I settled in on the Innovv K2 Camera system. I purchased it from Amazon...

Hello there, I finally got around to installing my Seat Concepts Cover & Foam kit onto my bike and figured I would share here. I find the stock seat gets on the uncomfortable side after about an hour and a half on the road so turned to Seat Concepts to correct that. This is my third bike to...

Anybody have a quality outdoor cover for a bike equipped with a top case? I'm looking for recommendations. Alternatively I'll also take suggestions for quality covers with no top case. Removing the case when parking is definitely an option. I've got time on this but in a few months the bike...

Hello, It seems that I can't find anybody currently selling dashboards for the Gen II Super Ten. Does anybody have a current source and, if not, perhaps measurements or a file with details handy? I can easily make one but it would save time to not have to start from the beginning (and even...

Looking to pick up a set of crash bars for the new bike and wanted to do a spot of research before making up my mind. Let me know what you think of what you have or what you've seen. Thanks

Anybody got measurements handy for a bone stock 2016 non-ES model handy? Since I bought the bike from a dealership I had no contact with the previous owner. I'd like to check to see if it's been lowered as I've already seen evidence he was shorter than I am (seat in low position, Madstad...

Hello, Quick question about the electronic manuals. How much do they suck? I see that Yamaha has them on a subscription service so, in my mind, that typically means proprietary systems that leave something to be desired. Is the system generally solid and works all the time? Can you print...

So what is everybody's experience in regards to headlight protectors? I've seen a couple of different designs ranging from $115 - $150 and was curious whose run what. My main concern is to protect the lenses from riding through Death Valley sandstorms. I've ruined a few lights this way and...

So what are folks doing for radios on bikes? My goal for the S10 is to run a full powered radio on it as I run communications for an annual rally in Death Valley so I kinda need to look the part :). I'd love to find a Yaesu FTM-10R as the remote read head is waterproof but they discontinued...

Just picked up a 2016 Super Tenere from a dealer. $11k after tax and licensing for a nice clean bike with 29xx miles on it. The only blemish I've found is a small rub mark where the factory hand guard just rubs the tank on full left turn lock. Givi bags and Madstad windscreen, otherwise all...
