    2014 Alcan 5000 Rally

    Just stumbled across this, interesting. I really enjoyed my trip to White Horse, Yt and Alaska this summer. I made the trip alone mostly, but knowing others were on the road and I would meet them soon gave me incentive to keep moving. So, for those that might want to go back, this would be a...

    Cruise Control for XT1200Z Do we have all that is needed but software?

    Okay, decided to start new thread dedicated to this project. Calling all techno nerds here to help out. I have a guy on the line (email) that has some questions. He answered my PM on the Multistrata 1200 forum. I asked him if he could attempt a CC for the Super Tenere. "Hi I checked the...

    Fender Extenda and Bash Plate clearance???

    Well, as some of you know I posted last summer that I broke my fender due to flexing of the fender on offroad hard hits (rocks and square edge stuff). Now, I am not so sure that is what happened. After reading about RED CAT mods to his bash plate I decided to go out and re-examine my fender...

    I KNEW IT!! Yamaha has a patent for the TCS on our bikes it seems.

    I bet it has something to do with the excellent UBS ABS as well, using the same math formulas. I always knew this was not your ordinary ABS and TC just from trying it off road the first time. http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_1110_2012_yamaha_yzf_r1_first_ride_review/index.html

    Any existing Yamaha with same rear wheel

    Anyone know if an existing Yamaha model's rear wheel will bolt up to the Super Tenere? I would like to have two rear wheels, one for a K60 mounted and one for a Pilot Road 2. Pretty big job to switch tires just for a short ride. I know some GS guys have both spoke wheels and cast wheels and...

    Install of .95N/mm fork spring per instructions from Traxxion

    I got my new springs yesterday so after reading over the instructions a couple times I put them in this morning. This mod is not for the DIY guy without any tools. I have the shop manual and it is great with pictures and torque values on the same page as the parts blowup, not off some place...

    Autocom connection to a BlueTooth helmet (best of both worlds)

    I have been running autocom for over 3 years, very nice for Bike to Bike and intercom when 2up. I don't have the bluetooth dongle for ability to use the phone but I do have the GPS plugged in and listen to MP3 music sometimes. But, the nagging wires to plug into your helmet is tiresome, so I...

    Okay, what is the practical cutoff for heading to visit REM?

    My bike is itching to travel! Me, not so much, old, slow, have not camped in years (stuff may be rusty or lost) and all my freeze dried is expired. Sitting under this big heat bubble has me wanting to escape to cooler/greener places. So, is it too late to head out north? Don't really care...
