    Well and truly stuck

    Well and truly stuck, but this is really a story about the kindness of strangers. It happens that I commute between Las Vegas and Ridgecrest, CA via Death Valley about once a week. I’m always working or have commitments to get to so never get to explore the dirt roads off Hwy 178 through the...

I also have a purchased-new 2008 WR250R. both excellent bikes, well used for their intended purposes, and keepers, but I still search for the...

    Light Harness Fix

    Started the bike and the headlights winked out. Having already done the headlight socket replacement I looked for some other cause, especially since the headlights and marker lights went at once. Research lead to a plug behind the upper right panel. I pulled off the panel(s) and found the...

    2 weeks, 2-up, ADV motorcycle ride through Idaho

    I had in mind to write an extensive ride report about our round trip from Las Vegas to Coeur D'Alene, the great roads / ADV way. I drafted it out in Word and it was 49 pages and 7600 words, with pictures. May have gotten carried away. It goes like this. Idaho Backcountry Ride Report Utah /...

    2-up through Bitter Springs, Nevada - a Valentine's story

    Nothing says romance like going for a backcountry, 2-up, motorcycle ride/picnic with your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. <heart> Mrs. Boondocker and I took the scenic byway from the Valley of Fire road to the North Shore road. This is about 30 miles north of Las Vegas. The trail is 27 miles...

    Starting in Gear

    It has recently come to my attention that I cannot start the bike in gear - clutch in, kick stand up. I don't stall much, so this isn't something I do often, but I'm thinking that I should be able to start in gear. If I'm wrong about that, never mind. Otherwise, please help me to troubleshoot...

    Radiator Guard

    I've heard a few too many stories on how an innocuous tip-over can jam a small stick or even mud into the radiator fan, even in the presence of an engine guard. Bad things can happen to our Ténéré when the fan don't work. Given that I have an Altrider engine guard that put a steel hoop of...

    WTB: OEM Footpegs

    I want to adapt the OEM (front) footpegs to the passenger peg mounts because my wife likes to stand up and finds the pax pegs too narrow. (She has to stand on some of the places we ride) Need the whole enchilada - pegs, rubber inserts, pins, springs, detent balls. Thank you

    WTB: Passenger Foot Pegs

    Have you removed your passenger foot pegs and would like to get some cash for them? I would prefer to get the whole kit - left and right pegs with pins, springs, plates, detent balls, et al. Thank you, Neil

    Fork Torque

    I spent all my moto money on new suspension instead of buying a factory service manual. Tried searching the site for torque specs for the triple trees and rear shock bolts, but no luck. Is there a handy reference for those values? I undid the triple-tree bolts with a small 1/4" socket drive and...

    Jaxon Poll

    Would you buy parts or ride with this man? Just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you Jaxon, aka. Tabasco, for all his hard work putting together the Ouray Rally 2013. Big thanks to Karson too! I just didn't manage to steal his soul with my photography machine. Me and the missus...

    Dual Mega Tubes

    Dual Mega Tubes What do you do when you can’t get enough Tool Tube? Bolt on a couple more! Sure I could get bigger paniers, but I like the OEM units and have already figured out how to overload the bike. 2-up camping makes that a likely proposition. It’s not all about capacity, there is...

    Death Valley Campout

    Death Valley October 27 2012. It was like a weekend vacation. The impetus was that my Mom was joining a day tour with her local museum group. So I had the crazy idea to try to rendezvous with her from our home in Las Vegas and do our annual Death Valley campout all in one. Since our last ride...

    Super Tén Babe

    To celebrate 29 years, mid-century birthdays, and our first big motorcycle tour, Mrs. Boondocker got a tatoo to celebrate the occasion! Surprised I am ??? OK, it's a temporary tatoo, but still quite out of the ordinary. Our big tour is 6 days out of Las Vegas, around the Sierra Nevada...

    Yamaha designer handbags

    I mean the OEM Super Ténéré side case liner bags. I have always scoffed at designer handbags as my male psyche cannot comprehend the appeal for women to possess such things. I been schooled. The rational explanation was - why bother with some scrounged up, ill fitting bags for cheap when for...

    Thermometer

    I like to know the air temperature when I'm riding. It was thoughtful of Yamaha to display the temperature of the air inside the air filter box, but that's not where my head's at. I searched high and low, even looked on the interweb but couldn't find the perfect gauge for a reasonable price ($80...
