locksmith can usually move the tumblers around for you to use your ignition key.

HF carries the tamper proof tools, there is another tamper proof torx fastener on the passenger grab rails that requires one as well. It's worth having a set in your tool collection.

Exhaust has been sold. Thanks for the response!

I lost one from my pannier last fall on a Vermont trip. It was loctited in and still came out. They aren't getting any cheaper! I made a useable opener out of a screwdriver handle when I stopped for the night at my brothers place. It works great and I haven't bothered to buy a new lock yet.

I've got a Leo Vince SBK Carbon Fibre slip on for sale. It came on the bike when I got it, I find it too loud for my liking. It does not have the DB silencer, it wasn't there when I got the bike. Muffler is very light, in great shape too. Asking 150 $, + shipping from Nova Scotia, Canada.

I've used Air Force issued Gore tex socks for years, they work great, come up to my knees and feet are always ( well water depth dependant) dry. I don't have waterproof boots, they just keep water in. Great find for you!

I'm running a Leo Vince' carbon fibre on mine, light weight, sounds great. It did melt the L/H tail reflector though. I didn't cry over that.

14's have a different clutch basket, a lot less vibes through the bars, depending on each particular bike, different cam chain tensioner as well. There have been tensioner failures on a few bikes at higher mileages. The 14's have a few more pony's in the engine too. Aftermarket heated grips...

Just installed a new style basket in my 2012 this afternoon, too bad it is winter in Nova Scotia, gonna have to wait till spring to try it out! Thanks for the info in this thread, made the job painless.

Not so fast Canoodian! I've had one instance in Nova Scotia. I think the issue is battery is a little down during the crank. When it happened to me, the bike hadn't been started in a couple weeks, no tender in place. Once I charged the battery I pulled the fuse for the fuel pump and cranked...

We just had a hurricane go through Nova Scotia last weekend. I was at the Horizons Unlimited gathering an one thing I noticed was that only two tents rode out the storm. We had gusts of 135 kmh (80ish mph) and only the Marmot tents could take the beating. I know what my next tent will be!

Mine doesn't move, but if it did I'd put a star washer inside the adjusting knob where it slides. You can tighten the lower bolt too once you find your sweet spot.

I'm 5'9 and have it about half up and 1/3 back, works awesome with the side deflectors.

I doubt that I am the only one to notice the blinding glare when the sun hits the instrument cluster. Has anyone made a glare shield to mount on the panel? If so, could pics be posted. Is there an aftermarket glare shield available?

When you pay what Yamaha is asking for luggage, you shouldn't have to dick around with anything! Not longer screws, Loctite, specially formulated dog shit, nothing! These latches are pure crap! Shame on Yamaha for putting this junk on the market. I have the technical ability to make them...

Thanks for the hospitality to all! Mods are already started to make this bike my own. I think she's in the stable for the long haul.

I did an install of one of these on a friends V Max, he told me it is the best farkle he ever added. I just bought the generic fit kit, although I had to drill and tap the thermostat housing to insert the water temp probe. These things are pretty damn robust too, I added one of the non GPS...

Hi there, brand new to the Super ten world. After much research decided against the BMW cool-aid. I do have an F650 GS that is fabulous, but wanted a gravel and asphalt tourer for me and the missus to take out. I just sold a KTM 990 Adv, it was too much of a pain in the ass to get parts for...

I installed one of these on a Vmax for a friend after he low sided and tore off the factory speedo. Speed calculations are fabulous, GPS and wheel sensor for accurate speed notifications. GPS capabilities are not near as good as carrying a garmin on the bars. An extremely good unit for the...
