SOLD. Thanks skyRIDER55. Hope you have a safe trip back to GA and lots of fun on the Tenere.

Re: 2013 White, Oklahoma I'm 300lb in gear. Nick at Stoltec picked the spring for me plus 50 lbs of bags/gear. So its setup for 350. I know Nick could guide you to the right springs for your weight.

2013 White Supere Tenere. 5300 miles, long list of extras and upgrades $12000 firm including all listed upgrades, extra parts and all original take offs. Dont want to sell it but I have too many bikes and wife wants the money. Everything included, I'll make deal for bike without some of the...

Seat Concept update? I did get an email returned, said to put your info in the order notes and they would provide denser foam for heavier rider like me. I have ordered and getting it stapled up at a local shop.

Maybe a couple of YZ450s glued together in a v twin, I can see that

Just know the victory is 50deg overhead cam V twin. The star V twin engines look to be pushrods. I'm no expert just not sure what Yamaha engine looks like the victory. Would be interested if he had a specific compare- but not a big deal either way. And to compare Victory to a Chinese...

I've been researching a touring bike too, but thats the first I've heard anyone claim the Victory engine is similar to anything Yamaha. They do look like good bikes, just not sure they have any Yamaha DNA.

I'm dirt guy too, so yes the rumble from the front is familiar. There's another vibration decelerating through 30mph down to 15 or so coming to a stop that is something extra. First thought I hadn't balanced them correctly, but its just an odd low speed decelerating shake up through the bike...

100 miles on mine today. Jury still out on the pavement, much more noise and vibration but I expected that. TC2 was lighting up on pavement which I wasn't expecting. BUT, I got to test in some fresh wet clay that is the local roads in my part of Oklahoma. These things worked like a champ...

Sounds like it could be a bad connection either at the battery or relay. Solenoid will usually buZz or chatter with low voltage. Might check all the connections to from battery to starter. If they are all good it's likely the battery. I've seen batteries test good but fail in a vehicle.

I have the 2" Rox and pulled back. Yes it will fit without longer cables. Yes the clutch and brake lines will not have any extra length and will be tight at full lock. If that worries you, longer lines or the Altrider method. SInce I don't spend significant time at full lock, I chose not to...

I really like the EXP for on road use and very light / dry dirt use. They are not much fun in mud or deep gravel however. I'm removing them at 5kmiles mostly highway. Not totally worn out but they don't have alot left, and I want something that will work better in mud and deeper gravel...

Thanks for the counter opinions. I plan to give the s10 another go at this long road trip with a couple mods. I'm not convinced of the physics either way. More weight and lower CG seem like good traits for a road haul, but big fairings maybe catch more wind and blow it around too. Just gonna...

Thanks everyone for the input. I do love the bike and if there's no gain going with a full fairing I'm going to focus on making this one just a bit better on the long haul. Bigger windshield, seat upgrade, ...

Yes, I had the OEM panniers and top box and a wolf man bag on the pillion. Not quite as big of a sail as your photo, but certainly catching some cross winds. Also, I'll note that I handled the wind ok, never felt like the bike was unsafe - although a couple of gusts knocked me out of my lane.

Just wrapped up my first true long distance motorcycle trip ever, doubled my previous longest day with one 667mile day. 2700 miles round trip "commute" for work from central OK to Western NY. I love the S10 for my normal riding which is typically more dirt and less highway. This commute...

Made it home with no further oil smell or issue. Must have been some road crap that burned off for a day or two.

Thanks, I've looked it over and don't see anything unusual. I'm keeping an eye on it, with 1300 miles over next few days ill found out quick if anything is wrong. Probably just picked up road junk yesterday in the rain as suggested.

It was raining yesterday when it started. I thought it ws from the car I was following, but it persisted this morning in the dry .

So I'm 1300 miles from home on the s10, headed back home Friday. Ive started smelling burning oil on my short commute from hotel to office I'm working in. Can't find an obvious source. Forks are good, only see a slight wetting around the left side of the valve cover. Not sure if that's the...
