    WTB; Corbin seat for my 2012 Super Tenere

    If the prior deal does not work out or already sold, my buddy has a standard Corbin seat on his 2012 S10 that he may sell. It has one very small nick in it that he said can be disguised with a sharpee, so I think he only wants something like $195 Paypal for the front seat. If you or others...

    Can you help me Fieldsheer Quattro jacket?

    Or buy one second hand used if you want a Klim. Plenty of folks out there using Klim for a few years..., then maybe changing hobbies, and reselling their Klim stuff on eBay, Craigslist, on ADVRider, here, other forums. I think I must have gone through 4-5 different jackets when I got back into...

    Super Ténéré 2017 & Beyond...

    Ah, R100..a good thought and reference. After overlooking the Super Ten for several years I vividly recall the first time I rode one for a distance, the bike struck me thinking it's not the lightest or fastest, but a bike I'd probably want to keep and use longer than most other bikes I'd rotate...

    400 lbs is the magic number

    On that note, this may have been posted elsewhere, but found a few more spy shots from Dec 9, 2016 of someone testing what is suppose to be the KTM 800 enduro. Looks different from the last v-twin prototype spy shots. Saw some chatter about an early release in 17 for what was suppose to be a...

    Time for another S10?

    Exactly. That's sort of what a few of my riding buddies and I did. We use our S10s as the comfort / multi-day ADV bike and saved enough buying a Super Tenere' to ride a second sport bike or 500 offroad/dual sport bike for more serious offroad riding. So far, I'm liking the 1200 ADV and 500...

    In Love All Over Again

    Interesting. i.e. how many miles in a day on your FJ-09, really? During a trip this year a group of us on Super Tenere's ran into a guy on the FJ-09 going up the califiornia highway 1 coast. We probably averaged 325-375 miles a day with a few stops I'd say. During some of the longer stretches...

    Time for another S10?

    You on your S10, take your buddy with the 1190 on a solid 10-12 hour day ride, and maybe a 95-100 degree day with a few long accidental stoplight-traffic stops mixed in. At the 300-400+ mile mark, ask your buddy to swap bikes and see what happens, and key in on what he says the next day. :)...

    recommended street tires?

    Okay, thanks. This is starting to make a little bit more sense now regarding some reports about the A3 tires. I'm happy to get ~7k miles out of any set of tires on any dual sport or adv bike for weekend / non-commuting type riding. Will keep on with the A3s for a while, and still wondering if...

    recommended street tires?

    RonH, thanks for the added clarification. in your opinion (with spirited weekend riding) how many road miles would you estimate the A3s function normally before flat "sides" or other issues become evident enough that you would go ahead and remove them. At 3,5,7k miles, etc?

    recommended street tires?

    When I'm done with the Michelen A3s, I plan to try a set of the PR4 Trails or regular PR4 next to compare and see just how bad the A3s are for aggressive road use only on the big Rhino. BTW, at the end of life on the former BWs, we did two long trips with less than half spirited riding and I...

    recommended street tires?

    Been wondering when someone would bring up the A3s again. I wore out the stock BWs in 5,500 miles and eeked out a bit more now running the new A3s comparing to all the positive and negative fuss reported about these tires. Some reviews say it's great, others hate it after 5,500 miles or so...

    The End of the Super Ténéré..................

    Since you bring it up, that's funny while I normally would not admit to subscribing to this kind of idea,... I was thinking of exactly the same thing on one of my last rides. I'd want to keep it sealed up in the original crate and open it up a decade later when everything from the future turns...

    Is it me or the bike?

    A test in 2014 by ADV Pulse reported the water cooled GS (11.04) and Super Tenere ES (11.69) seconds in a full quarter mile. Zero-to-sixty times reported (11.2) on the Triumph 800XC. So, yes, with a stock S10, coupled maybe with a slow reaction time, and shifting at 4K revs would probably...

    Installed tall Yamaha windscreen and side wind deflectors today

    Factory OEM Tall windscreen for 2014 - suppose to work really well, after reading some posts here on the YST forum. Look for ScoobyNut's posts on the forum... I clipped a pic from his post, shows the 2" taller factory OEM screen option for 2014. Rode with member Tomatocity Tim a few weeks ago...

    Michelin Anakee 3

    Hmmm, good to know. Well, I put another 350 miles on my brand new Anakaee 3s last weekend. Included twisty paved and rough unpaved bumpy mountain road sections. Pulled in the clutch a few times to listen for a howl, and nothing really notable. After 150 miles I leaned the bike over pretty good...
