    Iron in oil - any suggestions?

    Just got my 2nd Blackstone back and got some unfortunate info: " Iron is noticeably higher than we found in the first sample. We weren't sure how many miles the previous sample was run, so maybe a longer interval is behind the increase, but that doesn't entirely explain iron -- it's high even...

    Front tire worn before rear

    I can try to get pictures up later, but for the first time in my life, I have completely worn out a front tire with ~50% left on the rear (both tires installed together) after ~4k miles. Running Pirelli Scorpion Trails (can't remember number but will look). Anyone else run into this? Normal...

    Windscreen turbulence

    So I installed the side wind deflectors and the OEM touring windscreen trying to smoothen out the air hitting my helmet. Even fully up, I've noticed the air coming off the windscreen is louder hitting my helmet than if I stand up past it. I'm 5'11" and running seat in the high position. Fully...

    Fender Extender Attachment

    TB sync difficulty

    Random switch actuation

    I have a strange issue that I don't know how to replicate. Once in a rare while, it seems like the down arrow will get pressed while riding. It's pretty up and far away from where it could be hit accidentally, and it happens on long, boring highway stretches. Anyone seen similar or have ideas...

    Light duty skid plate

    I see a lot of threads about heavy duty, bomb-proof skid plates, but I'm actually looking for something relatively light duty. I mostly ride road, with some gravel and fire roads here and there. I'm looking for the best affordable skid plate that can handle an errant rock here or there, but...

    Price Check

    Hey all, hunting for an S10 right now as I've got a few weeks off work. Prices, particularly used prices, are surprisingly high; people are listing 2018 and 2019 ES models for 14-15k, which shocked me a bit, and has me considering new. So far the best deal I've found is about 16 OTD for a new...
