    Anyone try Anakee Roads yet?

    I've not yet found a situation on the road where the Anakee3 didn't have plenty of grip. That includes hard loaded runs through twisties as well as fully unloaded. If these are better, they should really stick :)

    Oil Change Complication

    Same. Every time.

    Oil Change Complication

    Also put me down in the 'no wrench' camp. I hand tighten and have never had a leak. Good reminder that some of those parts are actually fairly 'sensitive' to overtightening! @holligl: glad the fix isn't going to be expensive!

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Rode to where it got to wintery and slimy and explored a bit further, but ended up turning back as I was solo before heading too far off the beaten path. But good to be out on the big girl

    Anybody running michelin pilot road 5 or 6? or the Road trail 5?

    Same, I've run a couple of A3's and I like the rear a lot (never ran the front). It's my go-to pavement focused tire and it's what I picked for my cross-Canada trip in 2022. Didn't regret it.

    I have a 2023 Super Tenere, the owner's manual says 91 octane fuel?

    Different measurement system. Those numbers are not the same as North American numbers. https://www.etuners.gr/fuel/ Again, while it maybe safe to run a lower than recommended Oct rating (I've done it myself) due to knock & O2 sensors pre and post cat, the best performance will come from the...

    Headlight Bulb Connector

    Sure, it's possible. but I value my time, this was the quickest most effective way to get it solved :) My bike is originally from the US, but was imported to Canada. Recall stuff can be tricky. <shrugs> You got to fight your battles.

    Headlight Bulb Connector

    Instead of fighting the dealer (apparently the headlight harness recall was done on my 2012 but it melted anyway) I just got a standard H7 connector from an autoparts store. Helps to have a friend because it's tight in there, but very basic fix. I want to say it was a $10 part (maybe less) I...

    Cheap Amazon auxiliary lights install and quick review

    Those look good, I may pick up a set myself, looks like there is a white version as well. Do they make a difference in seeing (not just being seen)?

    Tips for cleaning windshield?

    Same. I use a large wet rag, put that on the windshield and let it soak. Then just a soft dish brush and soap. Pretty much do the same with my helmet, soak the shield, then wipe with cloth.

    Picking up new Ténéré on Saturday - question

    So, what do you normally check before you get on a bike you don't know, have never ridden and was setup by someone else? This isn't a rhetorical question. For me, for a bike I've never ridden, I'd check: Visual check to see if anything looks wrong, damage, scratches from shipping / prep...

    Suzuki launch a new bike, the GSX-S1000GSX

    As well as the BMW XR and other street oriented, upright touring bikes. That K5 motor is very good, which is why Suzuki keep using it.
