Beginning last summer, my ignition switch started sticking badly enough that I thought I was going to be stranded on a few trips. The bike only has about 12,000 miles on it so the key hasn't been in and out of it a million times. I have tried everything I can think of from swapping to my...

Selling my lightly used Yamaha aluminum skid plate. It was on the bike for about 5000 miles. Shows the usual marks from dirt kicked up by the front tire, but no dents or damage. $100.00 + actual shipping. PM if interested. Thanks!

I was at a car show in Phoenix a few weeks ago and chat with a guy who had just sprayed flat black graphics on his new black Camaro with very impressive results. I was toying with the idea of spraying over the orange stripes on my black Shoei Hornet. Has anyone done anything line this?

I finally decided that I want an exhaust and decided on the carbon Leo. Unfortunately, it seems that they are no longer making them for the Super T! Jaxon is out, not in stock at Motorcycle Superstore, NLA per Indy Superbikes. Damn! Anyone have a line on where to get one? There must be a...

http://www.whitehorsegear.com/open-house/ Anyone going? Excellent BBQ on Saturday and always an interesting crowd of bikes.

I want to replace the red Super Tenere decals on the upper fairings of my black 2012 with the black decals I've seen on the white 2013s. Here in the US, I believe that 2013s came in white or grey. Both appear to have the same black decal, but looking at fiche online, there are 2 different...

I foolishly ordered the Yamaha "skid plate" before I found this forum and before realized that it's not really up for the type of riding I occasionally do. Time to replace. What I really want is Jaxon's beast, but my budget is around $350, leaving me with the above choices. I want to get away...

I am hoping to talk my wife into doing a little camping with me this year. Typically, when I travel alone, I pack my cases with the stuff I can leave on the bike, tent and sleeping mat in their own small dry bags, and any clothing, toiletries, etc in 1 of my 2 large duffels. I attached the...

OK - not positive where to post this, but if anyone has RECENTLY updated their Zumo maps, I could use some advice. As I recall, the last time I updated several years ago, I fought a bit with the space requirements on the unit (~1GB), but eventually, it fit. This time around, Garmin's site says...

Thought I'd share a few pics of my other toy. I used to restore these in my spare time...when I had spare time. I originally bought this one as a parts bike.

I just had a mini hear attack sitting here in my office miles away from the bike and my manual. I reassembled my forks (in a rush, as usual) last night and for some reason it just occurred to me that I measured the oil height @ 150mm WITH the spring guide in the fork. I've not done a million...

Rox 1.5" up/1.5" back risers. Like new condition. Work with stock lines and cables. $55.00 shipped within the con US.

I've been chasing my tail a bit this summer trying to get more comfortable on my bike. I added 1.5 up/1.5 back Rox risers which helped get the bars higher and closer to me, but recently added a Seat Concepts seat which is noticeably higher than the original. Now I feel like I'm reaching down...

I've decided that I will be replacing my rear shock over the winter. I have narrowed the choices to either Ohlins or Penske. As far as dealers go, it looks like there are some good choices for both. Our buddy Jaxon and Stoltec who several of you have mentioned. Cost being similiar, what led...

Anyone else get their new MC issue? Included is an alps ride and semi-comparo of all of the current ADV bikes. Our girl took it hard. I personally could give a tiny turd what anyone else thinks of the bike. I've ridden almost every option out there and bought my bike on purpose because I...

Thought I would share this with the group. I wasn't aware that this stuff existed. I try not to be too anal about my bike, but it's in my blood. The scuffs my tank bag, zippers, etc leave on the fuel tank always bug me. It sprays on, dries 100% clear, and supposedly peels off easily. Time...

I'm in need of some new boots. My Alpinestars Webs are worn out. I'm looking for something with a bit more protection without going to a full-on MX boot. So far, I have narrowed down the choices to the Astars Toucan, Sidi Adventure, or the Gaerne G-adventure. I don't mind paying for a...

Thought I would share my winter boredom project with the troops. I had a buddy shoot the silver panels on my cases satin black, then I striped them a bit using black 3M Scotchlite. I pulled the rear end apart & painted the subframe, passenger peg brackets, exhaust heat shield, and heel guards...

Can anyone with a manual spot me the size of the 4 torx bolts holding the subframe on and the silly safety torx fasteners holding the yammie case mounts to the subframe?

I'm pretty underwhelmed with the headlights on the Tenere. Over the winter, I'll be installing a 6" Rigid bar switched to the high beams, but I'm also looking for some small LEDs to fill in that low beam area and to serve as running lights during the day to protect myself from the Audi wagon...
