    What Material is Used in the Tenere's OEM Front and Rear Brake Pads?

    I'm trying to compare the OEM pads to other aftermarket choices, but can't find much information on the material used. Was wondering if anyone might know exactly.

    Went to Paint Over Rust, Ended Up Sawing Off My Pedal

    Rust started appearing on my right side pedal frame mount. Got what I needed to treat the area but had to remove my pedal first––that's when the fun began. I noticed when trying to remove the pin, it wasn't moving so quickly. Tapped it with a rubber mallet, then a proper hammer, no budging...

    Twisted front forks?

    I've since noticed when trying to align my handlebars with my roxx risers, that although my handlebars will appear to be straight on, when I look at my forks, they look askew. I'll try to post some pics once it stops raining here, but I'm just wondering if perhaps the way the forks work (or are...
