An entry of "Yamaha Super Tenere" garnered this response: The Yamaha Super Ténéré is a popular adventure touring motorcycle produced by Yamaha Motor Corporation. The Super Ténéré line features rugged and capable motorcycles designed for long-distance travel, both on and off-road. The models are...

Maybe I missed it. Has there been official notice of discontinuation of the S10 in N. America from Yamaha?

Over the last few decades I’ve expressed my love for the country while riding whenever I see old glory flying high and proud. I’ll get up on the pegs, face the mast, and snap a curt, proper Navy salute in heartfelt patriotic gratitude. In town, out of town, any speed, any time, anywhere...

Curious as to which LED lamps people are using these days. I haven’t bought them in a while and am unfamiliar with where things are at currently and what fits our 10’s. The ones being replaced are Novsights which have been great, but their output has diminished considerably. They’re under...

Some thoughts on the new Schuberth C5 helmet. My longest love affair with a helmet has been with the Shoei Neotec... The longest wearing, best fitting, most featured lid I’ve worn since leaving dirt riding. Although it’s passed it safest period I chose to stick with it as the Neotec 2’s fit was...

It was pretty quick, but I saw an S10 fueling up while going by. Think it was Ashland, but if not it wasn't too far from there. We waved and I would have stopped if time weren't tight.

I'd really like to know if anyone has ever ridden this route w/o high wind and gusting. I sure haven't.

Looking forward to a great new riding season. After years of going cushy with hotel camping I’ve committed to getting back in a tent for most nights and keeping the hotels in reserve for long rain stretches or just an easy time. Got a new Lone Rider adv tent and Big Agnes bag and pad. Really...

An inquiry placed with Schuberth USA regarding the US release date of the C5 was answered today by their sales manager stating that they will be available in June at most US retailers who have them on backorder. Still awaiting info on the co-availability of the SC2 integrated comm unit and...

If a rider’s winter is good for anything it’s dreaming and planning. For me, this year’s sum of the two is Tuktoyaktuk. Had it down between Yellowknife and there and decided that if I’m in for a penny I’m in for a pound and will do both. Really should have done this ride when I was bit younger...

Perhaps my search skills are lacking, but with all the luggage rack permutations out there I've been unable find a tail rack that's made to be level with the factory platform under the pillion seat other than Happy Trails. This would be a low CG/low cost solution that would eliminate the expense...

Camp cooking has always been a fun throw-down for me. As a self-styled autodidactic chef I consider adverse cooking conditions an entertaining challenge to overcome and surprise with. As far back (14yo-ish) as my earliest multi-night bike camping experience it was immediately clear that the...

Fully aware the topic is perennial scuttlebutt, but over on the big thread at the other place there's a user touting their acquaintance with a bonafide youtube user who states that 2021 marks the end of Super Tenere production. Please don't shoot the messenger.

Been riding a long while and every time I’d sell or trade a (road-legal) bike I jotted down it’s mileage and kept it in a file. While filing the mileages from 2012 and 2014 S10’s that were recently traded in I thought I’d add them all up to see what it came to and it was over a million miles...

Spring got off to a pretty rough start here in the northeast and dry riding time has been at a minimum. Riding became all the more rare when I severed my right biceps tendon while working the tractor out of the muck. Was able to ride again after a couple weeks albeit with a weak wing. Decided...

I've had great success with the OEM panniers for 8 years having only used blue-loctite on the screws with occasional lube and a couple of tumbler removals for cleaning and lube. Started out using dry graphite to excellent effect and changed to evaporating PTFE a while back, which has also...

Got a Neotec 2 and SRL delivered yesterday. Ordered it in medium as I have 4 other Shoei's. As soon as I tried it on it was immediately evident that it was a bad fit, and not by a little. The original Neotec, as many new helmets are, was a little padding-tight and formed perfectly over time. The...

Warm, long riding days typically call for cold beer which I kindly oblige. Sidenote: Canada knows how to treat beer. It's sold a good 10° cooler and their hotel refrigerators are also capable of lower temps than US counterparts. It's those cooler, damper, maybe not-so-nice days that call for a...

Always carry a remote for the garage opener and was looking for a task so I thought to add that ability to the bike. Considered a few ways and went with removing the circuit board from a remote (Genie) and desoldering the switch and battery (A23, 12v) contacts from it. Then placed a wire jumper...

While waiting for construction I noticed the temp climb into the upper 220's and the fan hadn't come on. Wasn't a problem, just something for the do list. Fuse was good. While following the fan wires to their conclusion it was kind of disappointing to find the connector in such a place as to...
