    A couple of valve adjustment questions

    I'm currently in the midst of a valve adjustment on my 2012 S10 and I have a few questions I want to confirm in the interest of dotting all my i's and crossing all my t's. First of all, any 9.48 mm shims should work (given that they're the suitable thickness, of course)? For some reason, when I...

    Which windshield do I have?

    All the time I've owned this bike, I've thought I had a National Cycle V-Stream windshield because of the "stars and stripes NC" logo at the lower left, but having seen some pictures of the V-Stream I'm starting to think this is something else. Is this possibly the Yamaha tall windshield and...

    Three sizes of spokes - how do I know which goes where?

    I recently found the rear wheel on the 2012 S10 I bought in April has a spoke missing. I suspect it has been like that all along and I just didn't notice. I bought a new spoke set (aggravating that one has to spend so much money and buy so much extra stuff, but I digress) and as I had heard...

    Considering a Super Tenere for my next bike

    Hello from Akron, Ohio. The Super Tenere is on the short list for my next bike and I thought I'd join up here to learn some more from those who own one. I currently ride a 2012 Honda NC700X and while I love many things about that bike, I'm ready to move on to something larger and more...
