I will be in south wales this weekend , but am up for a ride other times ::021::

Sounds interesting to me too ! ::008::

Re: Any UK based Tenere Riders fancy getting together? I think he has cornered the market on fuses and it does make the bike go like stink but my mpg went down went down by 5 mpg . Mainly cos I kept thinking what a buzz when I go twist wheeeeeee.

I always am amazed when the S10 is described as a dirt bike , Yes I know it can and does do dirt well , but as a road bike it is superb. I came from an FJR and managed 95000 miles on it before I decided ( not true health decided I needed a smaller bike) and I had a short stint with a 650 Versys...

Welcome , there will be 3 S10s in Moffat on the 2nd and 3rd June staying in the well known bikers hotel there and doing runs during the day. 1 black ,1 silver and 1 blue . ::015::

That could be of interest to me even if it means going to Essex. ::013::

When wandering the net I found this place in the UK , as it was just round the corner from my mate that has a S10 sent him round to have a look . He said they were well made and solid if a little agricultural. They sell 2 panniers with fitting kit for the S10 for just over the £500 mark. I am...

As I live Southampton I could ride over to Poole and give Spasms shins a real kicking until he posts the info. ::013::

I have used the Conti trail attacks for 6000 miles now , good grip in wet and dry . But the front has gone out of shape .I can feel the front weaving when riding at low speeds Checked the spokes just in case . No problem there . The rear looks good for another 2-3000 miles at least but I am...

Re: Very hard starting today I learnt the hard way that when I had my FJR if I started the bike up and didnt let it get to fully warmed up then the next time I tried to start it I was going to have serious trouble . The only way to start it then was to open the throttle fully and crank it...

I put red ones of these on the pannier http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XTZ-750-850-SUPER-TENERE-DAKAR-stickers-decals-PAIR-/300612947780?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item45fded8f44#ht_500wt_1287

Re: Power limitation in first 3 gears now lifted To be honest Bundu that was my opinion as well but I have been known to be wrong in the dim past so thought if the man says it then lets find out . Hello Peter, Thank you for your email. There's no ATRE for Yamaha bikes. On several...

Re: Power limitation in first 3 gears now lifted As I would like a gear indicator I was interested in the possibilty of Healtech doing a fix so I contacted them . Their reply suggests that the speedo healer removes the restriction on some bikes automatically . So has anyone fitted the speedo...

Good luck for tomorrow ,its a scary time but can work out . I was told over 2 years ago that my heart was screwed , had to give up the FJR cos it was just too heavy. Then all of a sudden they decide to fit a pacemaker and defibrillator . feel so much better and sold the little Versys and...

I have added my fuelly.com banner to my signature . Mind I am in the UK and our gallons are different from US gallons but the MPG is much better than for an FJR as I have just done 10 days riding with 3 FJRs in Scotland and they always put in more fuel than I did . The other Tenere on the tour...
