    Motul DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid

    I need to do a brake and clutch fluid change, got a really cheap deal on Motul DOT 5.1 fluid; I know the Service Manual specifies DOT 4, I didn't buy DOT 5.1 thinking it was better, and know it's chemically compatible, but, it is more hygroscopic, and there can be viscosity differences between 4...

    Super Ténéré 2017 & Beyond...

    Last fall I posted this post to the ADV Rider forums; the idea was just to see what other Super Ténéré owners thought and/or came up with. I'm generally very satisfied with my non ES XTZ, but as I stated in the ADV Rider thread; after riding a Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX I realized I could be a lot...

    OEM Left Bag Sag

    While a trivial aesthetic annoyance; I've noticed my 2014 left OEM pannier sags/lists slightly like the bottom bracket is too close to the bike. I've also noticed this isn't exclusive to my bike, but some do have them nicely and squarely mounted so the tops of both panniers are on the same...

    2014 Super Ténéré GPS Mount/Bracket

    I have a 2014 Super Ténéré, and a cheap Chinese GPS... I'm looking for a more robust clamp/mount that will mount on the (~0.5"?) mounting bar above the instruments. This thing looks ideal, but cost more then my GPS and software... RAM mounts like this one are a little more affordable but most...

    A TiddlyWiki For The Yamaha Super Ténéré Forum?

    This forum has an enormous amount of excellent, valuable reference and how to information, as well as long term guidance, and sound advice; unfortunately it's an equally enormous amount of work to organize, searches will often not turn up a helpful result if the Searcher is uninformed, as the...

    Best Lock Lube 4 OEM Luggage, Ignition & Seat?

    In one of the OEM luggage threads it was mentioned that you should use a lock lube with the OEM luggage that's 'plastic safe' -- and it appears parts of the cores of these locks are in fact plastic, so that does make sense. While dry graphite seems like a safe choice, it's messy, and I have...

    Pulling The Pin: Yamaha XT1200Z Mail Order [US]?

    I'm ready to do it, there are great deals to be had on 2014 Yamaha XT1200Z's everywhere but close to me; and right now the travel time to an out of state dealer that has the bike I want at a price that's irresistible is just too much time out of my schedule to get it done. I've never purchased...
