    Tuning with the Power Vision 3

    Firstly, thank you for posting your tune. I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into developing it and letting others use it is very generous of you. Second, I'm an extreme novice when it comes to the C3 Tuning Software so please bear with me. I downloaded the archive.zip and copied the...

    Power Vision 3, Let's Take A Look Inside Our ECU

    Did you ever decide to get a PV-3 and if so were you able to make the changes (as in post 20) to your satisfaction?

    Dunlop trail max Mission

    I put a set of Trailmax Missions on my S10 in July of 2021. They were a little squirrelly in traffic circles for the first 1,000km or so but they calmed down after that. I'm roughly 14,000km into them now and normally I would be well past the life of a tire but these are about 50% left. They...

    fork seal saver?

    Twice my front shocks have started leaking after repeatedly driving through construction zones where the bike wound up coated in wet pulverized clay which then dried. The first time it happened I had resigned myself to getting the seals replaced however I skeptically tried the Seal Mate tool...

    Time to change rear brake pads…

    Hey, mine looked just like that, now I don't feel so bad. The sound of rolling the bike out of the garage on Saturday was different. Took a look at the rear pads and :oops: ... SBS LS Sintered Brake Pads (769LS) - 28,000 kms. Last year the factory OEM pads gave out 26,000 kms looking...

    Show us what kind of roads you ride on!

    I live in a suburban area of southern Ontario however I can make it to gravel roads within 30-40 minutes. Gravel is my preferred road of choice and so long as it's not posted "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" I will give it a try. That being said I do all of my riding alone so I tend to...

    How many miles did you ride your Tenere in the Pandemic 2020 year?

    Since I picked it up in March of 2020 I've ridden 27,600 kms, mostly evening and weekends. 5 oil changes, 3 sets of tires and a set of brake pads later I am still amazed at how fun this motorcycle is to ride. I was hesitant spending "car money" on a motorcycle but the S10 has been worth every...

    Oil change sticker shock...

    Apex Cycle in Cambridge next to the Harley dealer. I had to pay by phone then go to the dealer and phone the parts desk from the parking lot. A fellow came out and put my stuff on a fold-up table then darted back inside. Be careful comparing the price of T6 in Canada and the USA. For some...

    Oil change sticker shock...

    OK, that's what I suspected. I'm willing to pay a fair price for items and I understand that dealerships have rent and labour to pay but this is ridiculous. As you say, word gets around. I guess this is why my local independent motorcycle shop is always booked solid. I was going to baby this...

    Bike Insurance in Ontario

    That's a really good deal. Just got the bill for my 2020 Super Tenere and it's $956CAD through TD/Security National for full coverage with $2M liability. It is listed as a commuter vehicle (instead of pleasure/touring) and it does include replacement value - if that makes any difference. My...

    Oil change sticker shock...

    Thanks for the information on the Mahle filters. I will definitely look into getting some OC575 filters.

    Oil change sticker shock...

    Picked up the items required to do the first service on my Super Tenere and was shocked at the prices the dealer charged for the supplies. The Yamaha semi-synthetic 10W50 oil was $84CAD for four liters ($21CAD ea) and the oil filter was $21.97CAD. That's $14.79USD and $15.47USD respectively for...
