I got my letter today too. The most interesting part of it was that Yamaha spent $4.95 to send it to me Priority Mail from LA. It got here in 2 days. A regular stamp would have done the same thing for a whole lot less money.

Nah... The main page explaining the details of the PDP program is gone. :(

I was looking on the Yamaha site and could not find any information about delivery via PDP program or anything else.

I fixed the img code from above to show the missing image. :)

It's hard to believe an engine with a compression ratio of 11:1 would require 91 octane. O:-)

Thanks, guys! I thought I would post something since most of you are not able to ride much due to one thing or another. Sometimes it's just good to look at some photo's. Around here lately it has been the rain. There is so much water that the dirt is mud and who really likes to do long street...

Hi Guys, Sorry there's no XT1200Z info or pictures here, but I thought I would create a bit of a thread with some photo's that we have taken over the last few months of riding - and a few other things. I hope you will enjoy! This ride was from the San Jose area to Coalinga and back. A simple...

A bike like a FZ1 isn't really ideal for a road like the Tail of the Dragon. We have several roads around here like the dragon - you're right, a small motard can do well on the super tight slowish stuff. An FZ1 will do a respectable job on the Dragon though.

I'm wondering if the D mode switch would be helpful if you had to run low octane fuel. I'm not really sure what-all is changed between the setting on the switch but I'll guess that ignition timing is backed off along with a host of other things. So, if you experience detonation due to a bad tank...

The FJR does have really good brakes. I find it a bit troubling that the S10 does not seem to stop as well as that bike. Maybe, since this is the internet, we should start a new thread... Bad Brakes on the S10!!!

...attendance... :)

Thanks for the images! Are the H&B racks symmetrical for the Super Tenere too?
