I did the same when I swapped my S10 for a new MT09 Tracer I ordered the Givi branded rails & topbox kit from http://www.accessorimotostore.com/ and the Kappa K40 panniers from outlet ricambi on Ebay. It takes 3-7 days for the stuff to get from Italy to the UK. They ship worldwide. Kappa &...

My Keis jacket has an inline fuse and came with O ring connectors to fix to the battery. As you can plug gloves into the jacket, Keis supply higher rated fuses. Does your jacket not have an inline fuse that would zap regardless of the main fuse? The battery in a S10 is easily accessible.

It would help if you listed the price being asked on Autotrader You will get a better return selling the bling separately as it will not add a huge value to the price someone will pay for the bike.

They are the Tucano Urbano 319 muffs I have used on my R1150GS & Super Tenere with the standard hand guards fitted I also used the gaucho from the same firm The bloke on UKGSer is ValH - forum thread here http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/382326-Muffs-and-Gauchos-2014?highlight=muffs...

Re: New pads ? I would try http://www.ferodoracing.com/products/motorcycle/brake-pads-and-shoes/sintergrip-road-st/ Ferodo pads worked well on my R1150GS and I had acquired a pair off Ebay to put on my Super Tenere, but changed bikes before fitting them. Fortunately, the Ferodos will fit my...

Sad. I have used them since 1993, buying my Super Tenere there in 2011. Seems Yamaha terminated their contract last week - there was a notice posted on the shop door today. There is a copy of the notice on this page...

If you want a light bike for pootling around on then look at the Yamaha MT/FZ/FJ range. MT07 is great fun but I wouldn't want to ride it over long distances. It would be a good urban bike and fun in the twisties on a Sunday. There are other versions in the pipeline with half fairings or...

Going to a shop is the only way unless you use someone like Altberg who will record your sizes and make bespoke boots to order. There does not seem to be a consistency with boot size, even in the range from the same supplier. The other problem I have with wide feet, is that most boots narrow at...

Once I had received the email saying the wrong goods had been sent I would have waited for the correct ones to be sent and left the first package with the courier. If the correct goods had turned up and the vendor had paid me the customs charge in advance I may have assisted in forwarding the...

the only way to tell is try it yourself - nobody else will ride the same roads as you or ride in the same way I would be happy with those miles on a rear tyre on a S10, for my type of riding. I used the Trail compound on both PR3 & PR4 when I had my S10 and found a front lasted 2 rears but...

if you want to see the job of replacing this shaft take a look at p19 in this thread - the job is done on an MT09 Tracer/FJ09 but the process is the same http://fj-09.org/thread/875/intent-recall-fj09-march-2015?page=19 Reference parts shortage: To reiterate what I said above: the parts can be...

I suggest this thread is closed and people redirected to the other one, linked to above. I have just posted this link in that thread to some pictures of the faulty part being changed on an MT09 Tracer/FJ09. http://fj-09.org/thread/875/intent-recall-fj09-march-2015?page=19 To reiterate, if a...

A riding mojo comes and goes during one's life course. I was also a latecomer to bikes, starting to ride at 30 years. My mojo left after I was made redundant in 2002 and went to live in a city to go to university. I did about 2000 miles a year. It returned about 7 years later when I decided to...

In some markets Yamaha has put the parts on hold as some big dealers had placed large orders when they didn't have any bikes to fix. If your dealer is looking at the parts computer and sees the kit as "available in June" then the dealer needs to issue a warranty claim. Once the VIN has been...

Well, it does take a lot of time and cups of coffee to check off the inventory list and read the instructions, working out where each bit goes. Once you have done that, it takes 20-30 minutes of wrench twiddling.

I've been lucky enough not to drop a bike myself, yet. I have seen plenty that have been dropped or show evidence of damage. It is rare for the damage to be more than superficial. The frames are robust and the cases durable. My ancient E45 pannier has some battle scars where it is been scuffed...

I have fitted many Givi kits to my bikes in the last couple of decades. They are easy to fit and come with easy to follow instructions - the fasteners are allen bolts, never seen a Torx bolt with a Givi kit. Just do up each fastener a few turns until you have them all in place so you have...

the part is fitted to many models - this is the shaft assembly for the MT09/FJ09 - item 11 http://www.portlandsportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/546a26ccf87002164cb28022/shift-shaft

Firstly, the brackets for the Givi rack, whichever version you buy, SR371 or SR2101 are metal. The material for the base plate varies with the kit. I had the SR371 kit and this ships with a M7 or M5 Monokey base plate, made from nylon. As far as I know they do not make a kit without the base...

Michelin PR4 Trail for road & the odd gravel track to a campsite, tea shop etc.
