I currently have a 2012, and one of the first things I did was to replace the rear spring because the spring rate was too low for two-up touring. I am planning to trade up to a 2015 ES, but I've read some comments here that imply the ES rear spring rate is not sufficient for two-up loaded...

A few weeks ago I rented a KTM 1190 from 360 Motorcycle Adventures in San Diego for a weekend of pavement. The very next week I was back home riding my 2012 Super Tenere, so I had a pretty close time frame where I could compare the two. This is entirely a sporting road riding comparison on...

The Supa Ten is wider/heavier than my KLR, and doesn't really fit well on my cheap-ass utility trailer, especially for longer distances and/or if there are two bikes along. Anyone recommend a trailer for hauling a couple of bikes several hundred miles? Ideally would be light enough to load two...

Sunny day, mid 50's I am turning right onto a 4 lane from a side street. Fast traffic coming, so I get on the throttle. Rear end slides around, enough so I tap a foot down to right the bike. I think: "That shouldn't happen unless I shut the traction control off." Look down to check and...

I had Russell Day Long do mine for touring with my wife. But the Russell's are a good two inches higher than stock which makes it difficult to put my feet down when off road. Want the stockers for off road. Email me at dragonfly1157@live.com.

Anybody ever done this? I have the Yamaha side cases. Off on a fire road this weekend, I come down a sharp right-hander and the front gets away from me. I slide down on the right side. No injury, not even a bruise, but the side case is completely busted. I would have thought that just the...

I searched all over for a clean looking answer to adding a passenger backrest to the Yammy top box to no avail. For anyone still looking, I found a way! 1. Buy the Yamaha passenger back pad for the Road Star Deluxe: Yamaha STR-5GA41-50-01 Backrest Pad for Yamaha Road Star Deluxe. This has 3...

Hello all, My name is Wally and I'm thinking of buying a Super T. This Saturday, my wife and I will be test-riding a (used) Super T with the idea that we will replace two bikes with one. We have a 2005 FJR 1300 and a 2011 KLR 650. My wife's response to pictures of the Super T is: "It's not...
