    5W or 10W fork oil

    Neither. Here’s a link to a good explanation on fork oil. I followed things the best I could with Redline oil and got good results on my 2014 non-es. Towards the bottom it lists various manufacturers and their wt. http://www.peterverdone.com/archive/lowspeed.htm

    Suspension adjustment

    Old thread , I know. Just an FYI I didn't see. The original poster mentions line count for fork preload. This appears to reference GEN 1 bikes. MY 2014 manual states to measure distance for the preload. What I understand on the line count is the top line (right at the top of fork preload...

    Most durable skidplate?

    I like your sales pitch! I think I seen where your plate is 1/4” aluminum, probably doesn’t need any reinforcement. Like I said, I just want a “no frills” skid plate. I figured you had a basic pattern or design you use and wanted to know how much. If you don’t want to post here, please send me a...

    Most durable skidplate?

    My ACD skid plate has served it's purpose. I took it off last weekend for an oil change and I'm going to pass on doing any hammering on it this time. I sent ACD a message and haven't heard back. Therefore, I'm down to either Tabasco's or a T-Rex. I'm more about function than fashion, my ACD was...

    Good Realtor?

    That didn't take long. Hence..."I have Idaho values" as does my wife. I prefer to claim I'm from the State of Jefferson. We spent a couple of weeks in Idaho last year and went to a farmers market. I still remember the t-shirt at a vendor, stated something like "Stop the invasion of California"...

    Idaho members... Looking for a good realtor to help me find some property. Not exactly sure where but, likely the western half and north of Boise/Twin Falls. FYI...I have Idaho values, if you know what I mean...

    Yamaha Supertenere 2012 With all accessories. (I'm finally publishing it)

    An important thing to include with any bike sale here is location, to me anyway. At least the state. Maybe I missed it on this one. Looks like a great deal! Good luck.

    Idaho BRDR ride End of August 2020

    I won’t make this. Just not enough time to plan for the time off. Hope you who are more “local” have a blast. I will look to next year and hope there are some plans to do this ride. Maybe some of us will be on the 700?

    Idaho BRDR ride End of August 2020

    Honestly, I kind of feel like a tag-a-long. If there’s something I could do to help, I sure would. Rides like this are definitely a bucket list thing for me. I was going to try and make the dates you planned work since I’m coming from “the State of Jefferson”. Is the plan to do the BRDR up and...

    Idaho BRDR ride End of August 2020

    What is the latest status of this ride? I have some vacation planned around the dates but, may need more time for travel. Went for a ride today and I got the bug!

    Mobil 1 Oil Filter Design Change!

    For what’s it’s worth... I bought like 6 M108 filters when Costco had them online for a good deal awhile back. I just looked at one and looking at the drain back holes, it looks like the taller one you show with the “conventional convex”.

    The new Mitas E07 Adventure tire (tyre)

    NO, it’s not ALL about how long the tire last. Yeah, there’s some who favor the longevity but, many like me who like the performance. As I’ve said before, I get 5-6k miles on the rear. And, yes they’re popular on the west coast. Go to a Tenere event and see how many people run these. I’ve been...

    Mitas E-07 Resurrection/Availability

    I emailed Revzilla about availability with them. They replied and still think it's discontinued. I corrected them, waiting to hear back. I think I've got them before from Twisted Throttle but, last I checked they didn't have them either.

    The new Mitas E07 Adventure tire (tyre)

    :eek: On a +/- 600 pound motorcycle! If I just used lighter tires my bike would handle better;). On the other hand, a heavier tire is more HEAVY DUTY! Just like the Tenere. Thank you MITAS for bringing this tire back.

    Mitas E-07 Resurrection/Availability

    Giving this thread a bump since most of the posts on the comeback are in the E07+ thread. It looks like the some places have gotten some tires in stock though I haven’t seen it on the big mail order sites yet. I will be getting a Dakar version.

    Life! (corona virus, non informative, non hysterical post)

    NICE! I believe my post was probably removed while the Australian posts very unrelated "stuff". He's been allowed to make pokes so, I figured I'd poke back. Like one Admin said " I think we have thick enough skin to keep moving on". As an American, I live under the Constitution and Bill of...
