That's in kilometers of course. :p:p:p:p

I just received a NEW front wheel and checked the spoke tension. On average, they were at 28" lbs vs 52" lbs, some did not require any adjustment. So, in 3 stages of 30, 40, 52, I tightened the spokes to 52" lbs. I am surprised they came from the factory so loose, unless it is purposely done so...

Just saw this and was wondering if anyone has any experience with upgrading their headlights. Similar to Russell Day Long, you have to send in your headlight assembly to Poland to have it retrofitted. Cost is €500. The reviews are good. However, they are confined to the website, I could not...

Whew, I think I replaced them just in time! o_Oo_Oo_O

Is anyone familiar with the brand of this lamp? The wire literally fell out and I have no idea how, or if I can open up the assembly to repair.

As the pictures attached show, I have some rusting around the collar by the pumpkin. There was no gasket between the swing arm and the final drive. That’s where the water is coming from. I looked through the service manual, and there is no reference of a gasket. Should I be making a gasket to...

Looking for tips and secrets and how to change a very stiff tire. I attempted to change my rear tire to a Dunlop Trailmax Mission. The original plan was for me to take the Mitas E07 off the rim myself. I couldn’t do it. Just breaking the bead was a major event. Are used a C clamp all around the...

I recently installed the Delkevic pipe and have about 5000 km on it. As you can see from the photos, despite my angle in the pipe away from the signal light and reflector, discolouration from heat is occurring. I know some of you have the same pipe and have commented that you’re not having the...

Selling a used Akrapovic exhaust in very good condition. Shipping is extra.

Hit a pothole and bent my front rim today. It’s light, but enough that the tire will not hold air. I put a tube in it for now. I took it to a wheel rim shop and they said they can’t straighten it because it’s a spoke wheel. Also took it to a bicycle shop and they were able to straighten it a...

This Allen screw fell out the left side of my bike and I don't know where it came from. I was working on the radiator cover and, it stumbled out. Does anyone know what the screw is for, where it goes?

Is there a specific procedure for checking and tightening spokes? I read various methods including every third or fourth spoke. How do you do check without lop-siding the wheel?

I saw a charcoal black S 10 in the parking lot at GP bikes today. Looks like the owner has been around the block a couple of times, with saddlebag stickers from many parts of the world.

Does anyone know how to attach photos to a private conversation with a forum member? I see the button to attach a photo, however, it’s looking for me to insert a HTTP address. I just want to attach some photos from Google Photos. Thanks

I’ve checked the forum and couldn’t find an answer so I’m asking here… is it possible to upgrade the dash lights to a different colour or to a very bright white LED? I’m finding the dash hard to read when overcast, even though I have the contrast full up. If anyone has done this or could direct...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy givi trekker bags. I bought the 48 L pack left and right, and the 42 L top case. Overall width is approximately 44 1/2 inches. Not sure if everyone is aware or not, but make sure the threads are completely clean...

This deal is probably more for the Canadians but, great deal…IF, you can get or make mounting brackets. There’s a bike shop outside the Toronto area that has 2 mm thick aluminum panniers, three piece set including mounting racks, $899. Bags can be mixed and matched to suit your needs. As an...

Just wondering what everyone uses to line their metal saddle bags to keep the clanking and rattling to a minimum? On my V Strom, I lined the top box with heavy duty felt applied with 3M spray glue. They protect the helmet, kept other things in the box from rattling around, and the felt liner...

It’s a ghetto mod, but it works. While deathtoner makes a superb LED bulb cover, when you convert US dollars to Canadian dollars and then add shipping, it becomes very expensive. So, I thought I would try to make my own at a lesser cost. I took the stock bulb cover, and drilled a 2 inch hole...

Now that my factory OEM saddlebags are up for sale… See for sale section on forum… I notice moose bags are on clear out at fortnine.com. $385 Canadian is an awesome deal however, mounting racks are not available. So, if you have mounting racks or have access to them, this is a fantastic deal...
