Worth your while to be ATGATT and with good gear. My wife (an experienced rider) totaled a new bike (405 miles on the odo) on Monarch Pass a month ago when she got surprised by gravel in a downhill curve. Her arm is still bruised from when she low-sided but nothing was broken and she is hiking, biking and we rode part of the Alpine Loop on our motorcycles today. You never know when you are going to get surprised and go down.Newbie81 said:
Hm... Second time was done the right way for sure. Last 7tmls or so, is gradually degrading. I bought the kit already, so we'll see. I hope they gonna hit me with the 30 bucks basket too.EricV said:
Interesting point. We'll see soon.scott123007 said:Except that you're talking about the clutch. You can't cook the DOT fluid in a clutch :
(unless you just mean it might be old and dirty, but cooked, no.)
Sounds like fun.toadady said:
my son and I drove up to Bixby MO. to join some ADV riders on the SMART ride, I rode 140 miles on dirtroads, forest roads, old logging trails and ATV roads. did 11 river crossings. stalled it out in the river, plowed into a pile of sand/P gravel and dug it out myself, took a wrong turn and dropped it in the mud , only to drop it again 20 yards later in another mud hole.lifted it back up both times by myself, when I finally found hiway 106 I bolted to VanBurean to join back up with my son and riders.
I want to find some mud. The bike looks so much better with a bit of mud on it. Sounds like a blast.toadady said:

Yeah i figured its about time. This jacket seems like it should do the trick. Now i just need pants and good boots. Right now i just use my work boots. Maybe ill win the lottery soon and can get all decked out. Just gotta remember to buy the ticketFrontRangeRider said:

hi - does the "tying lever back with cable tie" trick work with a clutch? - i know of it (and have used it) on brake lines - bt assumed it needed something to "push" against, you know for pressure - you don't really get that with a clutch system do you?EricV said:
@scott - good catch! I just meant dirty or frothed from hard use. Not really enough heat transfer to cook the fluid like with brakes.geekay said:
Have you thought about something to open the wrists up more? Or, in other words, what makes you think more pullback would help? IMO, the Tenere stock bars are awfully swept inwards, not conducive to long distance or offroading...Sckill said:
Ergos are different for each person. The width and angle of the stock bars don't line up to where my wrists and arms naturally want to rest. I feel my shoulders tense up because I need to move my arms and elbows outward to line up with the bars.Karson said:
