    If anyone of you have been thinking about doing business with EricV and ordering Rumbux... I cannot express how easy it was to work with him throughout this whole process.

But when it is windy I'm thinking that they are really catching some wind, so with the racks on and the bags off... does anyone have any suggestions for some soft throwover bags to just carry incidentals ie: change of gloves, jacket liner and such. I...

    ***Caution*** National Cycle (V-Stream)

    I have used V-Stream windscreens in the past and have loved them.....however, before you order from them, make sure of what you want. They do charge a 20% stocking fee, no matter what. I put the shield on, went around the block put it back in the factory wrapping (with stickers still on it) and...

    YES...Yamaha Extended Warranty

    This may seem like a silly question, however, on the FJR forum there were several posts about the cheapest local to purchase an extended warranty.

    Did my first oil change and final drive oil change this weekend....man, was it difficult to get the gear oil into the final drive!

    Heat @ Headlight....

    Has anyone thought of a mod that we can do on the covers to the headlights to allow some kind of cooling? Perhaps, this would eleviate the heating up and heat damage to the connectors. Just a thought....... Rexford

    A-List Tool kit....?

    I've searched for this but have come up with nil.....sometimes too much coffee makes me overlook stuff though. Could some of you more experienced Tenere owners throw out a list of what tools should be added to your well stocked factory tool kit ( :D ). Besides the requisite Air compressor and...

    Getting closer....but first

    Okay...I am getting closer to my decision on purchasing a Tenere. I know this is beating something that has been discussed and discussed and discussed, but please bear with me and have a little patience as I don't have a lot of money. Do I need to be worried about the headlight harness or is...
