It seems like all the slightly tougher tires are bias ply. The Tourance on the rear has about 75% of it's life left and I don't want to mix bias and radial. I'll take a look at the TKC 70. Seems like a nice compromise between a TKC 80 and a street tire.

Any recommendations for a 90/10 or 80/20 tire that can take a little more punishment? I found this blister on my front: Friends have told me that I never miss a rock. I've taken my Tenere down some pretty tough trails. I usually run the front about 25 lbs which may not be enough. I've also...

I finally received the wrench and adapter for my axles. They will replace the two sockets which I can't use on the road anyway without a 1/2" breaker. Much smaller and I think it will all fit in the stock tool bag. The wrench might be too long in which case it will be rubber banded to the...

Timely topic. I've just been looking at my stock tool kit deciding what to keep and what to drop and what to add. Here it is: When near home I like the stock kit except for the pliers. I'm going to replace the pliers with mini vise grips. It also needs a couple more allen wrenches...

Bump. Come on out, it's going to be a great ride Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

You zip tie the beads together and the tire comes off or goes on without tools. That is once you break the bead. Easier to see on YouTube than it is to describe. The rim paint is very easy to scratch. Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

I used the "zip tie" method to put a rear tourance on last week. Piece of cake. Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

http://www.dustdevilsmc.com/RR200/RR200Flyer.aspx There will be A and B loops for the little bikes, an Adventure loop for the big bikes and street loops for anyone else. 3 days of fun, great trails and great company!

Here's my concern. I'm pretty heavy (265) so if I go to proper springs up front, what's going to happen to the back? Can I get away with a spring replacement on the rear shock?

I'd like to get the forks resprung and revalved. But I don't have the money to do the rear also. Would I be better off waiting until I can get both ends done?

So, my 2012 has a little over 18k miles on it now. Right fork is leaking pretty heavily. I'm going to try a seal wiper but I've been advised its probably a good idea at this mileage to replace the seals, change the oil etc. So here come the questions: 1. Should I stick with oem parts or...

Here's the damage to the rack. Got a little squished.

Had a great time, I hope all the other Tenere owners that showed up did too. There was one from Fresno - Steve. I rode with him a bit. One from South Dakota but I didn't catch his name. There were a couple others I saw. Mostly the crowd is orange with a little blue, yellow and red mixed...

tc339, If you come up solo, get to registration early on Saturday tell them you are solo and they can hook you up with other riders. I'll be a sweep so I'm going to be leaving a bit late.

I'm in the process of putting Raptors on my bike right now. I'd say they are about 1" taller than stock, but with a lot less sweep. The cables seem to fit just fine. No binding. I destroyed one of my Symtec grip heaters removing it from the old bar. I'm waiting for the replacement before I...

The Friday stuff is optional. A lot of people don't check in until Saturday morning.

It's a mix of asphalt and forest roads. The dirt roads are no problem with 90/10 tires (I have Tourances). Some embedded rocks, ruts, tree roots but nothing technical. Some gravel. The asphalt ranges from excellent with some good twisties to poor with potholes to dodge.

Who's in? http://dustdevilsmc.com/Participant/ParticipantFlyer.aspx The Dust Devils have added an adventure loop this year. I went on a ride yesterday to verify the roll charts. Pretty cool route. Great way to see new riding areas. Made the mistake of wearing my new helmet which is now...

On the open highway I usually can get just past 200 miles before the gauge starts flashing. Takes a bout 4.5 gallons to fill it back up. I usually try to stay within 10 of the speed limit.

Thanks Bloodline. I just got off the phone with ET. It was a pleasure to deal with him and a great deal.
