    Sticky downshifting

    Fred, I tried today to remove mine put holly cow the bolt won't break loose. It isn't backward threaded is it? I sure don't want to snap it off even tried to tighten it a bit then back but no joy. Maybe I need to put some wheezal pee on it and let it soak for a few.

    Strange.... bike won't start.

    When (and if you did this) turn the key on/off and don't start the engine this condition will happen. Like the other poster said, hold the throttle WFO and crank again. I bet after a few seconds it will fire right up.

    Battle Wing tires, original set 9879 miles

    11k on rear before changing ( maybe another 1-2k left) replaced with another Battlewing, left front on IMO it might go another 10k so thinking 2 rears to 1 front. Tire pressure front 32-34psi rear 40-42 ride solo no off road cruise highway @ 4k on tach +or - 75mph. Good tires for me but I don't...

    Oil level in sight glass: tank or crankcase?

    No sure I was thinking mine kicked in around 212 but you might be correct. Either way it really heats up before it kicks on. Next time I run mine I will check.

    Oil level in sight glass: tank or crankcase?

    Perfect way to do it you can't go wrong. The only time I try and read the sight glass is on a long trip then I start the bike up and let it warm up to 210 deg f at which time the fan comes on. Let the fan cycle at least twice, shut the engine off wait a few minutes and you should have the...

    2003 Ducati Multistrada to 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere?

    Power and the way it is delivered will be a big change. I personally don't care at all for the S10 engine after coming off of several V-Strom's. The ST motor is not a bad design and it has proven itself pretty much bullet proof but it is very, very uninspiring IMO. Other owners say it is their...

    Bank unable to find VIN!??!?!

    Bank needs to update there database for model year 14 would be my best guess. ::022:: What I think they are doing is trying to get the loan value for it show them your bill of sale or look up a 2013 new would be close enough for them I would think.

    2014 Aux leads

    I don't think you will find such on the ST. What most of us have done is come off the battery with an additonal fuse box. You can buy a setup ready to install with a relay where you can mix and match whether they are always hot or switched with key on. I bought the Eastern Beaver setup and have...

    I may be crazy but I traded my Tenere for a new BMW R1200RT

    I love the new RT but because I have owned a bunch of BMW,s I am staying away. No matter how nice the bike is the lack of dealers sometimes out west the nearest is 2 states away and the inherit service cost of that service is just nuts. My last BMW twin cost me over $500 @ the 600 mile service...

    200 - 250 lb riders, what do you have your suspension set at?

    I can tell you for sure on pavement if you want to go fast in the twist ies you gotta get the rear end up. I run mine higher than most I think all the time. I was having problems in SE MO in the twisty roads. After raising the rear I was 15-20 mph faster in the same curves after doing this. Also...
