    2013 Super Tenere XT1200z :UK

    I obviously know what the total retail of my bike and accessories cost, but used prices seem a little flat for good used examples. Unfortunately due to dodgy joints I am no longer confident in taking the weight of my lovely XT. I will add some pictures in due course (when it's dry enough to...

    Big thank you to Altrider

    Within a week after my bike hitting the deck Altrider EU replaced my engine bars at a fantastic price. I was able to bend the mount tabs back into place on the frame (thanks TABASCO) and refit them, all the plastics sprung back into place and the radiator was unharmed. It happened 10 days...

The garage checked...

    Ongoing care of your new S10

    Ok, so I'm probably setting myself up for ridicule, but here goes. I've only ever had old bikes and changed them regularly so a bucket of soapy water, fuel and oil changes were as far as it went. With the odd tyre kick and chain check. I've now had my new s10 for 7months and plan to keep it for...

    Burning Smell, could it be the clutch?

    Hi, I've had a new S10 for 2 weeks now, first week was great covered about 300 miles, but for the last 150 miles I've occasionally been getting a smell that is the same as a car clutch smells when it's being abused by a learner. My understanding is that it is a wet clutch and shouldn't do this...
