I have run through two sets of Heideneau K60 Scouts and love them. I have the original tires on now (had them taken off at delivery) and want to put the K60's back on. The suggested rear size is 150/70. Does anyone think that a taller/narrower tire ( 130/80 or 140/80) can be used and would it...

So I think I have a pretty good idea of who is on the forum in the Northern California area but thought maybe I could get you guys to post a response and we can get a list together. Not trying to exclusive geographically and nobody is excluded, just practicality of who might be willing to get...

Yes this happens on all my new bikes (not that that happens all that often), seems I am never comfortable with the stock bars. Part of it is short arms, part of it is a hitch in my elbow that does not straighten out entirely. For me the stock bars are too wide, too high, too far away and too...

Ok so I feel kind of silly asking this but I just noticed that my front turn signals are always illuminated (not blinking, just on) when the bike is powered up, like yellow running lights. They do flash when asked to. Did I not notice this originally or might I have done somthing in the wiring...

I have been not happy with the harshness of the front forks on bumps. Just felt too abrupt and have been meaning to fool with the rebound and compression damping screws and try some different settings. I went out to the garage a minute ago to read up on the settings and set them a bit...

There is going to be a minute of noise at the Moto Gp on Sunday. Rather than a minute of silence Marco's father has asked for a minute of noise. All of the bikes in the paddock will be reved in his honor. ::26:: There has been a post circulating the web that is gaining momentum asking...

I have great gear I am happy with; underwear, jackets, pants, boots, gloves, helmet and options for warm and cold wet and dry........but socks, those lowly but important socks. So many claims out there. Just reading the Aerostich catalog alone willl give you a headache comparing features...

If you bought one and don't like it/don't want it let me know, ready to experiment. If you want to sell your stock seat so I can make my own let me know. PM me

Ok so I don't want to overpromise but I was at the MotoGp this weekend and got hooked up with a very senior person in Cypress (Yamaha USA) who had information. He promised me more details this week so I emailed him this morning to remind him to check as soon as possible as we are all going...

Another white one. This one appeals. Love the front fender decal treatment. Really very graphic and creative http://www.motoblog.it/galleria/yamaha-super-tenere-diapason-racing-by-tosco On the website there are more picures Just found this on another website in english...

Hobster turned me on to these in another post and they deserve their own thread Hobster said "If you are wanting to ride longer and feel better on the buttocks, you might want to look into LD Comfort shorts. Many Iron Butt Long Distance riders swear by them and they do a great job of wicking...

I have looked and looked for a Yamaha Motors USA Customer Service email address. I can find a street address but no email address. Can any of you connected dealer types or others of supreme knowledge clue me to an email address?

I am going, camping up on Fox Hill. Will be riding a red tank SV650 ADV (unless the Tenere arrives early :))). Orange Hubba tent. Arriving Thursday afternoon. Anybody else going?

I know we have some active duty people on this list and I am sure some veterans. I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your sacrifices and the sacrifices your families make to keep us safe and defend the ideals of this country. The rights that I have every day have been made safe...

Ok so there has been a few discussions about getting rides together when the bikes arrive. I know there is a pretty solid contingent here in Northern California and I suspect equal numbers in Southern California. So I am proposing a California ride with the Northern and Southern California...

I have no financial interets in these, just thought I would post them up to the group in case anybody had an interest http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300549622103&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT...

Well, no takers so I am moving them over to Ebay

So the Yamaha deadline in the US is March 31st for pre-orders. Are we going to have a count down :question: Tick tock, those standing on the side of the swimming pool need to jump in, the waters fine ;D

Over on the ADV Rider forum there is a thread Boxes or Bags http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=669478 A portion or the thread brought up a topic I was unfamiliar with and that was riders being injured by their hard cases. I had thought there might be a safety factor in a tip over...

I have always loved to camp, the simpler the better. Unfortunately over the years I have moved from a young man back packing to some 70's motorcyle camping with army surplus gear on a '67 Bonneville to mini motorhome to motor homes to travel trailers with microwaves and a big truck to pull...
