    Varadero XL1000

    A mate had bought a set of pannier racks off eBay. It said they were Monokey but they don’t look right to me. Anyone know what panniers they fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rukka Navarro 2 v Klim badlands pro 3

    After my recent unplanned dismount from my S10 during off road training I have been reviewing the PPE that I wear and wether I might have fared better if I had been wearing different kit. I fell onto rocks at around 20mph and the full weight of the bike fell on top of me. I received a broken...

    High beam switch

    My headlamps have developed a fault where they don’t switch to high beam unless I repeatedly switch it to low and back to high. Not sure if the problem is with the switch or with the shutter thing that flips over for low beam. Anyone had this problem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Touring on the S10

    How does the S10 handle high speed continuous touring at speeds around 100mph? I’m thinking of taking it down to Spain next year, a trip I normally do on my Zx14r Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Valve shimming time

    It’s coming up for it’s first valve check. I’ll be handing her to my trusted mechanic who services my Zx14r. One question. On its first valve check a 24k miles, is it worth changing the cam chain tensioner and chain at the same time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Touratech Adventuro Traveller Carbon Helmet

    Has anyone got one of these? I like the look of them and am considering buying one. They look high end but the price point suggests mid range? Looking for owner feedback Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Luggage for a three day trip

    Does this seem excessive? I can’t seem to do minimalist… The thing is, it’s not really any different to what I’d pack for a month long trip… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ultimate ride tracks

    I’ve been in hospital for over 3 months now, most of it nil by mouth and fed by a pipe down my nose. So not even meal times to look forward to. The things that have been keeping me sane are planning trips for later this year when I get out. Ordering shit off Amazon and putting together a track...

    Sleeping bags

    Looking for a new sleeping bag. I like the idea of the Mountain Hardware gortex bag but it’s mega expensive. Anyone recommend something similar? Needs to be 4 season but I’m not too worried about weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    High tickover

    Today, when I got to work, 30 miles away, when I pulled up I noticed the tickover was staying at about 1500. I blipped the throttle a couple of times but it stayed high. It seemed to have settled back down again when I rode home but still above 1000 rpm. Anyone had this before? Ambient temp...

    MCT suspension service

    Having had to cancel my visit to MCT 4 times due to illness, it looks like I’ll eventually actually make it this time. Booked for the beginning of next month. MCT service usually involves re valving and shimming, new springs and re oiling along with seals etc. (At least that’s what he did to my...

    Worn disks

    One of the most impressive things I have found with the S10 is it’s brakes. I wasn’t expecting them to be so good when compared with my Zx14r that has PFM disks. Yamaha have certainly used quality components there with Galfer disks and brembo master cylinders. But with the bike now approaching...

    Stale fuel

    I haven’t put any fuel additives in either of my bikes. I always intended to ride the S10 through the winter but I got the “Rona” in July and haven’t ridden since. So is it likely that fuel lines etc will gum up? Do I need to fire them up for a while each week to just move the fuel around? Or...

    Trans European trail

    Anyone ridden any of this? I’m particularly interested in the UK stages but I’m new to off road and am aware of the limitations of taking a bike the size of the S10 off road and I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew so am looking for a gentle stage to start with Sent from my iPhone...
