Where’d you source the plugs from?

Japan Spark Plugs DOT com



NOTE : There are other post about "spark plugs" on this forum. But I will remind everyone that you should buy plugs like this from someone reputable like Japansparkplugs.com. I would suggest NOT buying them from Ebay. They are much cheeper and probably FAKE. FYI ! Don't be suckered in about getting something for nothing.

I cant see the air inside the tire yet, you could probably go at least another 6 miles, just kidding. What tires are you getting, I am saving up for a set of Mitas e07 dakars.

New rear brake pads and a rear brake fluid flush. I literally could not imagine life without speed bleeders. Old pads had 12k on them and 1.5mm of pad left. I like to change between 1-2mm. The factory min is 0.8mm for the rear but that makes me nervous.

Spark plugs and air filter at 6k? Seems a bit early.

I wish some zealous mechanic lived around the corner from me, I could learn to do much more than I can....or pay him :)
how about replacing the plugs and the air filter at 25 K miles ? Is it too late or fine?

Every year someone starts this rumor. Every. Year.
Just relaying what I was told, I've seen the rumours come up on here over the years also - but with emissions it's time (in the EU/UK anyway) is now up, excluding a stay of execution on the emissions regs due to manufacturing issues arising from corona anyway.. I find zero joy in the news of it being discontinued - I love the bike and of course I'm hoping the S10 gets an overhaul in the same form, e.g. big twin 'proper' adv bike & not a soft commuter on stilts.

I’m hoping to get a bit of protection to the dash area, but I may wind up with no screen as you have done. I don’t like the look of the bike without a fairing and the brackets sticking out.
Oh me either. But i dont want to cut the fairing stays off either. I am so used to it now. Function >> form for me.

I tried a number of prototypes from aluminum and none were able to keep the air calm around my head, so naked it is!

Wrapped up a two part project. Installed new tires Scorpion Trail II to replace Battlax A41. And did a dump and fill of fork oil (removed stock oil at 17500 miles), replaced with Bel Ray 5W.
