    Battery options

    I always let all vehicles "boot up" before I hit the starter. It's just common sense. The fleet service director at a large corporation that I once worked for preached this to all drivers and equipment operators.

    TrailMax Mission

    I'm not exactly sure how many miles are on the set that I have. I bought the bike with 15k miles on it. I now have 19k miles on it. I still have plenty of tread on both ends but the front has cupped pretty bad. I'm going to put a new set on this spring and see how far they will actually go. I...

    Final Drive Fluid Change

    I don't really think an extra 10 minutes while doing an oil change prevents me from riding all that much. You might get another 5 miles more than me though.

    Final Drive Fluid Change

    Probably not. Honda ST1300's didn't have any final drive issues either. I've got one of those sitting in the garage right now with 100k miles on it. Change the oil and FD on it every 5k miles too with full synthetic. Like I said, cheap insurance and peace of mind.

    Final Drive Fluid Change

    I change mine every oil change. I did the same on my Honda ST1300. Only takes a few minutes and I consider it cheap insurance.

    Cold weather starts?

    I'm in CLT and have a '23. I had surgery just before Christmas and haven't been able to ride since then. I will be cleared to ride the end of January. I haven't had any trouble starting mine. Mine has 19k miles and the original battery. I run 10W40 in mine. I wouldn't run 20W50 unless maybe I...

    Thoughts on the 2024 BMW GSA1250

    I still have a Honda ST1300 that they quit selling in the US in 2012. I have several friends that still ride the Honda ST1100!

    New Clear Water Kerri Aux Lights Installed

    I spent $50 on two LED bulbs and improved the stock headlight 100%. It's still not great but much better than Yamaha made it.

    New Clear Water Kerri Aux Lights Installed

    I have the Clearwater adapter plate that I mounted PIAA'S in the same spot. I have several buddies that run CW lights. Those things will definitely light up the night. I'm new to the S10 and it took me about 2 seconds to realize that the headlight is one big useless POS with the stock...

    New Cannonball record

    I put the same in mine once. I was going across Kansas and didn't think I was going to find a gas station.

    Thoughts on the 2024 BMW GSA1250

    I put 100k trouble free miles on a used Honda ST1300 and hope to put at least that many on the used '23 Super Tenere. I don't have $26k in both of them together. Right at $21k for both of them.

    Thoughts on the 2024 BMW GSA1250

    There's still a few new Super T's sitting around. Pick one of those up for half the price of the Beemer and spend the savings on travels.

    It appears to be Official....

    I'm glad that I got a great deal back in August from a forum member here on a 23 with 15k miles. I did a fly'n ride from NC to Long Island NY. It could very well be the the last bike I buy since I tend to keep them for a long time.
