    WTB Rear Rack Carrier Base Plate

    I'm looking for part #23 in the seat diagram: I"d prefer the '23P-24842-00-00' since my ST is white, but I'd take either one.

    Correct way to turn off the bike

    I mostly use the sidestand switch, it reminds me to put the bike in neutral before putting her up on the centerstand. :P

    Jesse Luggage Tighten up kit install?

    I installed mine as narrow as I could get - even narrower than the tighten up kit would allow - I was able to use the stock bolts. THis required removing the passenger handles, using the Jesse Exhaust shield, trimming the luggage loops and smushing the taillamp plastic surround. It wasn't...

    Helmet Color

    The chin strap was far too tight on my neck, similar to the problems in this thread. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=698334 the helmet is super ridiculously high quality - I had the 'globe' print. I loved the fit of the shell and the functionality, I just couldn't stand the...

    Helmet Color

    On my White Tenere, with grey jessie's, red SOLAS tape, wearing a hi-vis yellow motoport suit and wearing a white helmet, people move out of my lane of traffic all the time - I think they think I am a cop too. I prefer white helmets for all of the previous mentioned reasons (heat, visibility...

    Jesse Luggage Systems

    Have you adjusted your latches and checked the hinges? After changing the locks on my cases (I was in an accident and replaced one of the two cases) I found that the latches needed to be adjusted and one of the acorn nuts on a hinge worked it's way loose, I can see where those problems could've...

    Ratchet size?

    My travel toolkit contains a Husky 3/8" locking flex-head extension ratchet that I picked up on sale at Home Depot. I love the flexibility that it gives me to position the handle just where I need or give me the torque I need. I use an adapter for any 1/4" or 1/2" sockets that I carry, it...

    Seriously disappointed ....

    Engine guards Sump skid those are the only parts I would put on for offroading... I don't have either of them because my offroading consists exclusively of dirt roads and low-speed stuff where I think the panniers will afford enough protection should I drop her. But those will still be the...

    Will Yamaha Increase the S10 Power? If so, When?

    I bought my Tenere because I felt it had the best bang for the buck. Period. The Tenere was outclassed in weight, hp and features vs. the class standard (the GS). 2014's ES and Heated grips started to close the gap in the features dept, but there is still a deficit and the weight and hp were...

    Will Yamaha Increase the S10 Power? If so, When?

    What kinds of speeds do you travel at? What aerodynamic farkles do you have on your bike? I have sidecases and (occasionally a topcase) - I weigh about 180lbs with all my gear on (helmet, motoport mesh pants,jacket and kevlar gloves & Sidi Adventure Boots) and I am lucky to cross the 40mpg...

    Kappa Anyone Have it ? 52 Liter Top Case

    I can hold two medium full face shoei helmets (one Neotec and one RF1200) in my Givi V47 Topcase. Dunno about that Kappa, but it looks nice. What kind of mounts does it use? I have my Givi mounted on my Altrider Rack.
