This is the Nike mod for the S10 ::022::

Why not just plug the Montana directly in to the SMH10, like you would an ipod?

My OEM plastic one stripped clean nearly two years ago. I didn't bother replacing it as I use it so infrequently and it's nothing that an adjustable wrench can't handle. This item looks great but at $45+ to ship to Oz, I'll think i'll just let apathy reign.

I've ridden a few times to work in -7C (19F), but that was only for 20 mins. The coldest I've ever felt was riding for about 1.5 hours just under freezing. I sat in a chair all rugged up in a warm room for about an hour before I started to get any feeling back. In hindsight, I was so cold that I...

+1. Except I was alone and mine dumped my sorry ass halfway up a dirt track hill, taking the gear lever and left footpeg out in the fall. TC2 or off in dirt!

Or it could have been a snake falling from the sky from an overhead Qantas aircraft. :D

I haven't yet trucked/trailered the bike, but yes that could cause that type of damage I expect.

If it's older version, which I have, is anything to go by, it'll be great. I hope they've made the earphone socket mount a bit more sturdy, or at the very least a flexible mount; both my son's and mine have broken after about a year's solid use.

I've worked out that with mine, the reserve light comes on with about 6 litres (1.5 gallons) left in the tank. I've gone about 75 kms (46 miles) on reserve and filled up with 21 litres, which means there was 2 litres (1/2 gallon) left.

The bike has been barely out of my sight since I last touched that panel, either in the garage or with me out riding and coming straight back to the garage, so I'm struggling to think when something/someone had the possible opportunity to make such a stealth-like blow to the side of my bike...

Haha! As they are quick fasterners, I just turned them with light pressure until they clicked in - a couple of nM of force at most.

No worries. While they do look like scratches in that photo, they are actually bug smears. I just cleaned them off and took another couple of photos of that same area post-cleaning, one with flash and one without. As it is o'dark o'clock here in Oz ATM they are not the greatest. If you're still...

Come to think of it, I had changed the brake fluid about a week ago, and there was some invariable squirting spillage when pulling the brake lever while changing that which I thought had all been captured in the big rag I had wrapped underneath the offending area. I thought I had wiped...

I've only done about 100 kms off road (out of a 40,000 km total), and even then it's been pretty tame mostly-graded dirt roads, so I don't think its that. I'll look into the Plastech repair system, thanks.

Wheeled my bike out of the garage the other day to ride to work, and sitting next to it on the floor were these: Upon closer inspection and removal of the right fairing cover, this is what I discovered: It seems the fairing plastic around where the two right quick release fasteners...

Well my Aussie S10 was delivered with the paper filter, as I discovered during my 1000 km servicing. The dealer forgot to put the sock filters in. ??? Not to matter. When I pointed it out to the dealer they gave me a sock filter kit, which I put away until just recently and put in at my...

I don't bother with S mode at all now, as that is the mode that stumbles mid range. I use T mode for two up-friendly riding, off road riding and for when I want to use cruise control, which requires T mode for smoothness and and the bike not the think the clutch is pulled in, lest the cruise...

Nah, it's because I'm a cheap ass and am on Xmas holiday break with nothing better to do. :D Took me a couple of hours to modify three Sena SMH10 speaker microphone clamp units to take earphones instead.

The hardest bit is mounting the actuating cable to the throttle, otherwise if you have done other motorbike wiring and spanner swinging it's not too hard. It took me a few weeks of a couple of hour stints to do mine, but mine was the prototype and there was some trial and error with my initial...

I did some challenging soldering yesterday with 60 40 jaycar cheapo solder, 25 year old 60 W soldering iron with original tip well worn down, red rooster wet wipe for cleaning, fine hair-like earphone wire, and the gas stove for melting the individual strand coating off the earphone wires and...
