I just ordered an INNOVV K3 setup for my ST. I've got dashcams in all my cars as is (Rove R2 and some older Viofos that I'm phasing out). So far they have only served as entertainment when I review the footage of other drivers doing stupid stuff. The one in my jeep wrangler locked down all the...

I abandoned a few forums when the data breaches at a few large forum owning companies like vertical scope caused insane, overly complex password requirements with quarterly password changes. Apparently some folks were using the same simple password on forums as they were for their internet...

I'm in east TN near Chattanooga. I bought my 2019 ST summer of 2019. I was going to use it for the rallies I went to each year (riding the WR250R to them was too painful). COVID stopped the rallies I went to which were mostly old people BMW rallies. Luckily the neighbors used their child...

I did about 60 miles of gravel and dirt roads in the mountains a few weeks ago on my 2019 ST ES. I had it in sport mode for the first 20 or so miles. I was standing up most of the time, so my thumbs were getting pretty sore holding on with all the curves and downhills. I switched it to...

I daily pocket carry a Ruger LC9 or S&W 642 j-frame airweight. When hiking I use a hillpeoplegear kitbag to hold my Glock 20. I'm more accurate with double stack autos and larger grip guns, but they're difficult to conceal. My Sig P228 9mm and Glock 20 10mm are both very easy to shot small...

I took an intermediate class with Tom Asher at a local rally a couple years ago. That man has to be the most patient person I've ever met. He also taught a more aggressive advanced class too. His website isn't showing upcoming stuff, so I don't know if he's still offering them...

I took my 2019 to the Cherohala Skyway and also did 50 or so miles on gravel forest roads in the mountains of the Cherokee National Forest. It did really well on gravel. Not as good as my WR250R, but good. One of the photo groups got some decent photos of me. The next day I took the family in...

For doing 65mph on the ST with handguards and grip warmers, winter gloves worked pretty well. My mesh pants left a lot to be desired, but the ST shields them a lot better than the WR250R. The Carhart thermals were really nice. I've been using synthetic long underwear for winter hiking and...

I did 100 miles over the weekend playing phototag on the Super Tenere. My two piece waterproof warm suit had a zipper come apart when leaving, so I put on my mesh outfit over my clothes and Carhart long underwear. It wasn't too bad until the temp got down near 50. I put the Gerbing jacket on...

I played some phototag and put around 100 miles on the bike yesterday. I was quickly reminded last night that the sharp cutoff on the headlights really sucks on tight sweepers. You can't see $hit. The bike ran great, though.

I'm getting lots of recommendations for Gerbing on other sites from motorcycle cops and riders who have had their stuff last for 5+ years with no problems. I figured you all here would know what works best for a Super Tenere. I think I'll measure myself and order a jacket first. Thanks for...

I'm looking to spend some money on heated gear, so I can get more miles in on my Super Tenere this winter. Cycle Gear has been bombarding me with their ads on their Hotwired brand gear: Jacket Gloves Pants Reviews I read say jackets and gloves are the most important, but that wasn't bike...

I typically wear full gauntlet gloves. I've been using a pair of icon merc gloves for years.

My bad, it must be a 300 Versys. The stickers are difficult to read.

I go to two BMW rallies a year full of GS1200s. The motor makes them wide, no doubt. I usually take my WR250R to make the ADV rides easier. I just got the ST this summer, so I'll probably start taking it to the asphault friendly rally. I imagine I'll keep taking the WR to the dual sport rally.

I know a young lady who rides a 350 kawasaki to work everyday. She has a bicycle otherwise. She rides to ADV rallies where I see her twice a year, but she doesn't go on rides. She pretty much only uses the bike for commuting and not fun. Me, I only ride for fun. I used to ride to work on...

I put the amazon special valve stem cap TPMS on my 2019 ST after reading about it here. It works well for my basic riding. The temp readings really let you know how much work the back tire does pushing down the highway.

I still haven't dropped a street bike. I get all of that out of my system on the WR250R in the woods. :D

You can buy an electrical connector for the aux plug near the battery. I bought a set, but haven't installed it yet. Someone else will have to chime in if there's a euro difference. https://electricalconnection.com/index.php/product/yamaha-super-tenere-accessory-connectors/

To the best of my dated knowledge, fuel injected motors do shut off injectors at closed throttle above a certain rpm due to emissions regulations. The Yamaha FZ1 2nd gen with fuel injection had this issue which could cause a lurch when rolling back into the throttle and the injectors start...
