    Anyone bought the new SW-MOTECH Pro Side Carriers yet?

    I'm going to buy some soft luggage very soon and have been looking at pannier rack options. I like the fact that these SW-MOTECH Pro racks are removable, as were the EVO racks (now discontinued). I'm probably going to go with the Tusk Olympus soft luggage. I want racks that fit close to the...

    Givi PLR2119 Rapid Release Racks vs. SW-MOTECH Quick-Lock EVO Side Case Racks for Soft Luggage

    After a little incident out in the boonies of Utah, at the far end of Moody Canyon Trail, off of the Wolverine Loop, off of the Burr Trail, where I ended up with my tibia (shinbone) broken in two places, and riding for six days in that condition after I wrapped it with an ACE bandage (Hey, I...

    Eastern Beaver PC-8/'16 S10 ES Install?

    I'm trying to install an EB PC-8 in my '16 S10 ES. I found a very old thread with un-viewable photos. From the text I gathered that there may be room for it behind the upper, right side body panel. Can anyone verify if that's true or not? And can anyone share an installation location that might...

    LS2 Helmet Info

    I've been looking hard at ADV style helmets with bills (visors/peaks), but don't have a lot of bills to spend on one. I've gotten tired of the sun being in my eyes. I want good field of vision, face shield (NOT goggles), internal retractable sun shield, pretty good ventilation, and a bill...

    Questions for the GPS Savvy.....

    I have a brand new Garmin Montana 680t that I purchased in '17 but never used. I got it with an SD card that has detailed maps of Wyoming in it (property lines, private/public lands, and such). I thought I'd use it for hunting elk, deer and antelope in WY, but never needed it (this was before...

    What's the Latest Thing for In-Helmet Commo/Phone/Whatever?

    When I bought my 2016 S10 in September, I also bought a Schuberth C3 Pro helmet, and in the box was a brochure for the Sena SC10U unit for bike-to-bike commo/phone/navigation/music/cleaning the windshield/and finding great BBQ joints. But the SC10U system is now 5 year old technology. BUT, I'd...

    Good Universal? Mount for Soft Panniers?

    So, for backcountry traveling light over rough territory, I've already figured out that hard panniers are too dangerous for me and my already-previously-messed-up-ankles-and-left-foot (was T-boned by a '68 Buick Wildcat and nearly lost my left foot). Haven't decided on what brand or combination...

    Attention getting, super bright taillights?

    So I was heading out of town a couple afternoons ago to enjoy probably the last relatively warm afternoon of the year. I noticed the girl behind me following somewhat closely. I tapped the rear brake pedal a few times and she backed off a little. Approaching a traffic light and it changed red...

    H7 Headlight Bulb Technical Question

    From reading the owners manual, I see that our S10's use H7 headlight bulbs. The H7 is a single element bulb, with a two-prong electrical connector, used mostly for low beams or fog lamps in automotive dual headlamp and accessory fog light applications. So, how does the Super Tenere get both...

    Best Aux./Driving/Conspicuity Lights & LED Headlight Bulbs as of 09/2019???

    I'm so confused... I know that I need to change out my headlight bulbs to much brighter LED type, and I BADLY need aux/driving/conspicuity lighting. Around here, there are at least 17 deer per square inch, and we aren't even counting the raccoons, coyotes, possums, and armadillos. And the...

    YeeHAAA!! Got me a Tenere!

    Been looking for just the right S10 SE for quite a while and missed several sales by literally minutes. Was beginning to think I was jinxed. Was wanting a '15 or '16 SE, in very good condition, less than 30K miles, at least a few farkles, reasonably priced, and within a days drive of here...

    '18, '19 Super Ten ES Foibles/Weaknesses??

    I originally posted this in the Tech section, but maybe should have put it here first. Admins, if I've violated any forum rules, I apologize and feel free to delete as you see fit. I've FINALLY decided buy a 2018 or 2019 Super Ten ES (But have got to get my boat sold first). I like the '18...

    2018, 2019 Super Ten ES Foibles/Weaknesses?

    Have FINALLY decided buy a 2018 or 2019 Super Ten ES (But have got to get my boat sold first). I like the '18 because the price is a little cheaper, wife likes the color or the '19 better. Anyway, this is going to be my first Yamaha. Do the '18 or '19 Super Ten ES's have any known...

    Going for the Super T ES

    Well, I've looked and looked, read, studied, drooled, compared, made a nuisance of myself at a couple of Yammerhammer dealers (not near enough to me that I'll ever have to deal with them in the future), compared some more, talked to a couple of S10 riders down in Alabama, drooled some more, been...

    Looking hard at the Super Ten

    I'm presently bikeless, but going to get back into Adventure biking. Been doing lots of research, but being 100+ miles away from any regularly stocking motorcycle dealer, almost all of my research has been online and talking to the few other Adv bikers I know or run across. Because of my...
