    GASOLINE WITH ETHANOL

    Have to agree with Tabasco-- Use StarTron and you will not have any problems with fuel sitting in a tank or Carb. My 1976 Hodaka Wombat has 2 year old 10% Ethanol fuel with Star Tron and it started at the last bike show no problem. http://mystarbrite.com/startron/

    Ethanol Fuel Treatment?

    I use a product called Star-Tron, I get it in the boat section of Wally world or at my Lowes. It really works. I use it in everything I own. 2stroke or 4 stroke. I have vintage bikes that sit for long periods of time. Even did an MPG test in my truck and I get better mileage-- more than enough...

    2013 Ténéré 250cc !

    Anyone that thinks the Wr250r is too tall should take a second look. A lowering link is only $120.00. Then if you want to get real fancy you can purchase a Corbin seat that lowers it even more. I have a 29" inseam and have no problem with my Wr250r . I do think of it as as little brother to my...

    Hasndlebar guards

    For both my Tenere and WR250 R I bought old ATV weights on E-bay- Drilled a larger hole in them-painted them up - bought a long black bolt at the hardware store and mounted them thru and on the outside of the hand protectors. Looks real good, like they belong there. As a added plus, when you...

    Yamaha Bag Liners

    I do not want to sound really cheap---- but Target has a nylon "yoga" bag in the exercise dept. It is rectangular and seems to be the exact same size as the OEM saddlebags. It cost about $15.00. Comes in both white and blue. I bought one of each color so I can remember what is packed in each...

    200 mile rid

    I also have a calsci medium wind shield and love it. I think the "cutout" keeps it from shaking at higher speed and when around trucks. I also like my GIVI crashbars. Less money than most, but strong mounting. You can also remove the "side cover" with them still on the bike.

    Shipping the S10 with a moving company

    Coastie, You can buy a 4x7 open expanded metal trailer with a fold down ramp for $500.00 at Tractor Supply. I think the closest one to you is in south Orange Park on Hwy 21 (Blanding)

    How many knew that the steering locks on both the left and the right?

    I would agree that standing on the Left peg to mount the bike will mess up the side stand. It is not the stand that gets bent , but the "U" at the top where the bolt goes thru. Over the last 20 years I have had many vintage bikes , with very strong stands, that have the "U" spread apart...
