Replaced my tires with K60 Scouts with my no-mar tire changer. As I have a wimpy air compressor, this saved my life -> http://www.bestrestproducts.com/c-154-beadsetr.aspx to get the bead to set. First time with the wheels off, will be far faster next time. :)

I also have the Pro version (just set it up). Thanks for response.

For those with a no-mar tire changer, did you remove one of the rotors from the front wheel or no problems with both rotors still on when changing the tire? Thanks...

I got mine from www.revzilla.com with free shipping and a little off from my next purchase.

Mounted my Jesse 9" Safari II luggage. Video with them mounted and off. http://youtu.be/hbD7RwRaJgc

April fools!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ordered a Gel Pad kit off ebay, read the instructions and watched a good youtube video. Appears pretty easy. Looked the ST10 seat and simple staples. That said, has anyone removed their seat cover? Wondering if also glued down or just the staples holding it? (Or any other useful...

On my Super Tenere, the end of the front brake lever has about 1" movement for full braking (and about 1/2 inch before braking begins). I did an initial bleed, but that didn't help. Before I do a more aggressive bleed, how is the front brake level movement for others? As I have multiple...

I'm pretty sure you could buff that out.... ;D ;D ;D

Yep, it was next to the tire/rim boundary. No where near the hub.

If the rim is bent, there are places that can fix them. Check with your local motorcycle shop. For example: -> ACU-TRU® Bent Wheel Repair I put a strong magnetic next to my rim and there is a small attraction. Some sort of alloy? I think the rims are something like $300 or so to...

In the Seattle, WA area, about two or three weeks out of the year I can't ride (due to ice). Assuming I stay out of the mountains that is.

Re: Very hard starting today I believe that is the most useful statement I've read all week on the Internet. (I'm planning to install a fuze block soon).

Installed my Givi crash bars and I would highly recommend them. Took my time, followed the instructions and no problems. Everything fit, zero requirement to bend/force anything. Did need to run out and buy a breaker bar for the engine bolts.

Thread for interesting videos... A Super Tenere playing at the beach Yamaha XT 1200Z in action!!!

Weight is relative. A quick spin on my Gold Wing and the ST is light as a leather. ;D

My other bike is a Gold Wing (still ride) and haven't notice any vibration with the ST (which doesn't imply it doesn't exist, maybe having too much fun). If anything, I'm surprised how nice it rides at highway speeds (most likely due to the better suspension over Wing). Note, I didn't like...

Interesting how some of your "cons" are my "pros" and I have had zero issues with the engine (purrs like a kitten). The radiator is in the right place for an off-road bike (ie, they don't work full of mud). I prefer digital display. I don't believe anyone expects everyone to like the...

I wanted a shaft driven adventure bike that wasn't BMW. So that would be a yes. The fact that it was a Yamaha was a BIG plus. Lower cost (bike and parts) is nice too. That said, it does appear that BMW can build a nice bike and can't wait to see the details on their 1250GS, but their...

Re: Finale Drive Temp Due to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics, the energy that is "lost" is turned into heat. If a shaft was as efficient as a chain, then it would be far cooler (and the inventor would make a ton of money).
