All the tricks can be learned here. I am always amazed by how knowledgeable you guys are. Every little thing that goes a long way to making this bike perfect for me can be found here. Someone somewhere has had the issue and solved it...then shared it. I had a bunch of small issues mostly with accessories I installed myself. AltRider skid plate was causing some harmonics, you guys fixed that for me. High-speed wobble you found the tire was mounted wrong. GPS accessory bar and windshield vibration you guys had the fix. Rox risers you knew how to route the cables. Wiring my lights, you had all the answers. You guys are good, your kind and just an incredible resource. That collective intelligence is a powerful tool when it comes time to sort things out. I just wanted to thank you guys and say I'm glad to be a part of a group that cares so much about its members. Happy 4th July and ride safe.

I've found this to be true, most everyone on here has some input or experience to share, some more varied than others. The mods also work very hard to keep things cordial.

I've actually found more than once that this forum is more help than the actual service manual. My manual is annotated with info I found on here, and I have sections for things like swingarm removal or fork servicing that I printed off right from this site. Those sections are actually easier to follow than the manual. Truthfully, I think you could keep your bike in excellent running order just from the information put out on this forum.

Yea, but sometimes I think that is why we get a bad rap on the other forum(s)?
(Which I thoroughly enjoy for the ride reports and KTM 500 threads. It's a really good thread for sorting your 350-500 out)

Not enough naughty over here? It's all your fault too wreckerchecker! You manage to even keep Patrick outta trouble over here.
Personally I think it's the driveshaft. Gentlemen ride bikes with driveshafts. lol

OK, somebody start a girlie thread in The Lounge, but keep it safe for work. Is that wild enough for you?

I put it down to "like mindedness". I also have a membership on Two Wheeled Texans. I occasionally visit it, but after a few minutes I sign out and come back here. Nothing against their members, I know several dual members, but there's a different "feeling" on their site. Also, this site is much easier to navigate....more user friendly. ::001::

Very grateful for the info/advice found in this forum. It's enabled me to set up the bike very well for me. The ten day road trip I just finished proved I didn't do a half bad job at getting things sorted out on this thing. Thanks to all youse S10 owners (especially you veterans) for the invaluable help!!
