    Forgive me Father, for I have sinned

    My name is Bob and I went out and bought an FJ-09. There, I said it. So now it's back and forth, forth and back.......which one to keep. The S10 has treated me really fine, but it's time for the 26k valve check and I guess I should complain about the non-existent CCT noise while its in the...

    leak on garage floor

    I rode about 400 miles yesterday, highway and backroads with some gravel. No issues. This morning I noticed several spots on the garage floor under the center stand. I rolled the bike out for a closer look and have found small drips coming off muffler and dripping on to the front of the swing...

    Anyone carrying a lithium battery jumper starter?

    I've noticed a few 2012 S10 owners are having to replace their original battery. I was going to replace mine at next service just to be on the safe side, but then I bought a little voltage indicator that warns of a battery going bad. However, I was at TSC today and saw a lithium jump starter...

    This darn bike!

    Well it all started out after I bought my 2012 Super Tenere, it was always running low on gas, then to top it all off, I had to start changing oil, and filters too! Then I was reading about how the back brake pads wear faster than the front, so I had to buy a new set of rear brake pads. Then...

    How to use traction control

    I'm putting on some Heidenau K60's and heading for Daytona. Planning on riding the Trans Florida Rally from coast to coast and back on back roads, dirt and sand roads with some soft sand trails. When in sand should I use TC1, TC2 or TC off? Haven't had the Tenere off road, so don't know how...

    Heidenau tire problems?

    Getting ready to re shoe my bike and am leaning towards Heidenau K60's, but have heard some leak air pressure. Pluric just had one installed and needed to put some gunk between the rim and bead to stop the leak. The K60 looks like a great tire, however, they may have some quality issues to...

    LED lights

    What's the deal with all the expensive LED lights. 260 dollars? I'm finding lots of choices at Auto Pro, Auto Zone and others, for 30 or forty bucks. Any reason these won't work?

    Linked brakes?

    Motorcycle Consumer News reports on the 2014 Super Tenere upgrades in their latest issue. They stated that the ABS and linked brakes remain unchanged. Linked brakes? I did not know that! I didn't think the Super Tenere had linked brakes. Are they wrong, or am I? Curious minds want to...

    Hard down shifting

    Anyone else seem to have a hard down shift in all gears. Not gear grinding, it just feels notchy compared to my DL650, unless I blip the throttle before down shifting. The bike has 6000 miles on it so it should be getting seated in by now. I know, I know ::021::

    PREMIUM ONLY?

    I saw a sticker on a tank on another website. It said Premium gas only. This maybe a deal breaker. Considering opting out. My FJR burns regular gas, why would they make an Adventure bike the requires premium fuel (other than the EPA). What are we going to have to do to fix this problem?

    Throttle Meister?

    I'll be trading in my FJR in May and it has a Throttlemeister throttle locking device on the twist grip. Does anyone know if a Throttlemeister will fit the S 10? It looks like the hand guards may pose a problem. However, an old Kawasaki Concourse trick was to use a Case tractor o-ring which...

    Sticker removal?

    Has anyone tried to remove the yellow patch sticker on the sides of headlight fairing? I think it looks kind of tacky. Is the sticker painted underneath a layer of clear coat?
