    Sticky downshifting, smooth upshifting

    I had the same symptoms as OP. The culprit in my case: the shifter pivot. When I disassembled it, it was dry as a bone in there. Metal on metal. Where did the grease go in 5 years time, only God knows. Evaporated maybe? Or pushed out by rain or pressurized water when washing the bike? Oh...

    ADV Boot Question

    My Toucans are size 12. No clearance problems with the shifter. I didn't try many brands, though. Once I put my feet in them I instantly knew. So maybe they will not be for you fit wise. You can only know if you try them all on. I suggest you go to the biggest motorcycle store you can...

    ADV Boot Question

    Alpinestars Toucan Gore-tex. Exactly what you described. So comfortable you forget you are wearing them. I have somewhat wide feet and they are perfect.

    Puig touring screen + visor owners??

    That's an interesting concept, I never thought of that. Although one might assume that it would be the equivalent of a shorter windshield. I also can't seem to figure how the winglets, which are at belly button height, can affect the air turbulence way up there at the top of the helmet o_O

    Puig touring screen + visor owners??

    Thanks for the input, guys. Well I just ordered a Puig 315mm, clear, for $154 cad on Fortnine. The MRA was available at twisted throttle but was more expensive at $220 cad... I'm 6'2" and I had to put the seat in the lowest position so my helmet could clear the buffeting airstream that is...

    Puig touring screen + visor owners??

    Hi guys, I'm looking for advice on Puig clip-on visors. I have a Puig touring screen on my '14 S10 and would like to add a clip-on visor but I'm undecided on the width. There are 3 options, 230 mm, 250 mm, and 315 mm. What are the advantages of a narrow visor? Do they offer the 3 widths...

    Tank protector... What were they thinking?

    Maybe I should point out that, it's not the Bedouin, or desert allusion that I find goofy, it's really only the big round cartoony eyes. I can see the headlight thing now that you mention, but still... If I had to choose I would go with this one instead, without the eyes.

    Tank protector... What were they thinking?

    OMG the wrinkled penis! Too late, I cannot unsee it now! Aaargh! Oh well. If anyone asks, I'll just say it's like a police fingerprinting, but for my manparts. Considering the size of the decal...

    Gen2 Windscreen brackets to stop vibrations **SOLD OUT**

    Quick question. Are those rubber grommets that go between the plastic and the brace? Wouldn't it be better to prevent vibration if it was bolted directly to the plastic?

    Crossbar behind the wind screen and gps

    Lux, what's that box labeled "Valentine one"? A radar detector?

    Tank protector... What were they thinking?

    Boy does that thing look goofy. Reminds me of a cartoon character with the big round eyes. Previous owner didn't seem to mind, though. I'm replacing it as soon as I find another design. Please show me yours!!

    Super Tenere items found on Wish

    $8usd for the screen protector sounds like the regular price. These are definitely NOT worth $66usd!! I just bought some from Speedo Angels, paid $22cad for a pack of 2.

    Nelson Rigg (SE-3050)

    I have them on my DRZ400S. They are nice and tough. Well designed. They hold their shape well with the plastic insert. Just like any soft bag, they are a pain in the arse to tie securely to the motorcycle with 4 straps on each side and the 2 big straps across the seat. They are on the bike...
