    Highway Pegs on Altrider Crash Bars

    I have Altrider crashbars on my '11 S T. I want to fit highway pegs on them and was wondering if anybody has done this combination and would like to share some pics and link to the pegs used. Thanks everyone in advance.

    Super Tenere might not be the bike for me.

    If you do not mind importing I would go with the Tenere 660. It sounds like it meets your needs. Or the weestrom.

    YAMAHA'S UNEVEN RESPONSE TO SUPER TENERE VIBRATIONS - MEXICO AND SOUTH AFRiCA

    We do have existing laws that protect the consumer in Mexico. There is even a Federal agency that will file help/defend the consumer...as far as I understand, it is free and you don't even need a lawyer...and it is pretty effective as a matter of fact. Regarding vehicles, this agency will apply...

    Remember to turn off your Traction Control

    Huh...OK, so maybe I chickened out too quickly and didn't let it start moving just a bit forward so the TC would kick in! What did Sean Connery say to Harrison Ford in the Last Crusade..."Take a leap of faith"...or something like that? ::025::

    Yeah Scottie, but who knows....maybe you and the fellow in South Africa had a secret agenda planned all along! ::012:: Come on tell us the truth...how much did you guys make??? If you two guys and Roger are in it...I want a piece of it...just tell me what do I need to do to screw up my...

    Remember to turn off your Traction Control

    I think that is the key...it makes sense. I was under the impression that TC would prevent sliping, sliding and consequently dropping my beautiful new bike when taking off in slippery surfaces like a gas station or toll booth! ::010:: Guess not! Hahahaha

    Remember to turn off your Traction Control

    Couple of questions regarding TC...Should the TCS indicator on the dasboard start flashing imediately (simoultaneously?) as the system kicks in, or is a slight delay normal? Also, how quickly should the TC kick in? There's been a couple of times when I've been in a slippery driveway and my rear...

    Can't Afford This Bike

    Somewhere I read the following: "The only thing I regret is that if I die before she does, my wife will sell all these toys probably at about half the cost of what I told her I paid for them"

    Is anyone regularly hitting or breaking 200 miles or more per tank?

    I rode the S10 completely dry...at 290km the gas indicator started flashing and the F odometer started counting. It stalled at exactly 354km. It was a combination of highway, twisty uphill back roads, gravel dirt roads and some urban streets and boulevards with slow stop and go traffic. So now I...

    YAMAHA'S UNEVEN RESPONSE TO SUPER TENERE VIBRATIONS - MEXICO AND SOUTH AFRiCA

    RogerJ, I'm really sorry you are having this problem. I bought my S10 in Nov and have not noticed any unusual vibration. There seems to be a huge difference from one Yamaha dealer to another in Mexico. I'm in Monterrey and the only Yama dealer here did not even have a clue of what a Tenere is. I...

    Spare parts for long trips

    Ooops! Yes, I meant AAA. I'll have to find out if I can enroll. An independant seperate 12v outlet capable of handling the compressor sound like the way to go. The single malt sounds good. I'll include that AND the CASA NOBLE reposado tequila! A lot of great input...thanks everyone!

    Spare parts for long trips

    Thanks for all the input. Most of the essentials I have covered...zip ties, duct tape, flaslight, FA kit, electric tape, tire repair kit, tools, etc. I was a bit more concerned about the spare parts that are unique to the S10 in case something has systematically broken down on several...

    Spare parts for long trips

    Hopefully I will start doing some long trips pretty soon. Long. meaning more than 4,000km or 5 days but probably not more than 15 days of continues riding; mostly pavement but some mild-to-easy dirt as well. I am trying to sort out what spare parts I should carry with me. On my KLR I use to...

    Do the Side Wind Deflectors Work?

    Thanks for the link! I was thinking something more like Motorcycle Superstore or Bike Bandit, but what the heck...I went ahead and ordered from ebay! Thanks.

    Do the Side Wind Deflectors Work?

    Are the side wind deflectors only available through Yamaha dealers? Anybody know of a wholesaler that carries them?

    Took the Red Pill

    Thanks for the welcoming remarks. Here's the only picture I have of my ST. I know it's a boring picture, but I'm sure there will be lots more to come. I don't think I will ever see it that clean again!
