    SOLD! Corbin seats for sale!

    I have a set of Corbin seats that I bought for my 2015 ST back in 2016 and only used them for a few long trips out west from Florida. I found the seat very supportive but now that I lost 30lbs and have no butt any longer, I find them too firm for me. They cost me $660 and I'm asking $325 plus...

    ST owner with a T7

    I've put 120,000 smiling miles on my 12 & current 15 ES and will be picking up a new T7 this month. My question is this, has anyone bought a T7 and liked it so much that they didn't need the ST anymore? I don't think that this will happen but not sure. Thoughts?

    56K mile tuneup

    I'm at the point to do the 2nd valve adjustment and was wondering if it's time to change the cam chain or tensioner on my 2015 ES. Bike runs great but trying to get it ready for 15k of trips coming soon. Any other maintenance needed?

    Yamaha heated grips not hot enough

    I was out last week in Big Bend NP and was in Terlingua when the temp dropped into the low 40s and we rode most all day in that temp and my heated grips were just barely warm, not enough to help with my gloves on. When I use them around here in Florida and the temps in the 60s they seem to work...

    Old fuel problem!

    I've been unable to ride since mid January due a couple of health issues and 3 detached retina operations where I've had to be face down for 6 weeks! I did start the bike several times and I finally put some Ethanol Stabil treatment in it about 3 weeks ago. I went to start it Sunday and it...

    Risers with stock handlebar Gen II

    I had the Rox on my 12 and liked them and want to add risers to my 2015 now and am trying to decide between the 2" Rox and the Helibars. I want some additional pullback plus a little higher too. What seams to be the best overall without changing the steering dynamics. Thanks!

    I'm ready for a new jacket for my long distance rides that cover leaving Florida in 90/90 degree/humidity and going to places that range from 25 degrees to 110 degrees on a trip. In the past I had Motoport Ultra II that I did the CDR and the Labrador loop on 13 years ago and have been riding...

    Garmin Zumo 595 mounting

    My 276C died so I bought a 595 and am overwhelmed by all the cables that are part of the wiring harness! I was wondering where anyone who has installed these newer Garmins put all this wiring? The only thing I will use is the power cord and the USB, the 3 other micro pin connectors I have no...

    Mixing tires?

    I have worn out the rear OEM Battlewing at 10,500 miles and the front looks like it'll last a lot more, so my question is how would the front Battlewing go with a rear Anakee III rear that only has 3,ooo miles on it? I've been impressed with Battlewing on the street which the only place I've...

    R&R rear tire first time

    After reading the thread about how to remove the wheel and pumpkin, I went ahead and did it and replaced the tire. I had no problems and lubed everything well and put back together. I then started it up and ran it on the center stand and when I put it in 1st gear, it spun nicely but was making...

    Anyone know what this is?

    I just picked up a used ST last week and have been going over it and found this under the seat but it wasn't plugged in but there is matching plug there also and it was grounded. Got any ideas what it is? I don't want to plug it in to see what it does out of fear of frying the electronics...

    Hi from Largo, Florida

    Hi all, just picked a used 2012 ST in Asheville, NC a week ago with 14,800 miles on it. It joins my 05 DL1000 and my 07 DR650 in the garage. My buddy swapped bikes with me a month ago and I started thinking about the ST and then he sent me a for sale link to one and the rest is history! I...
