    Fou You GS Fans

    In Love All Over Again

    I've enjoyed the few years I've had with the Tenere but like many with the bike bug, I've been eyeing other rides. A week or so ago I did a ride with 10 others from Ohio, down through KY, into TN, NC, GA and then back around again. It hit many of the great roads down there including the Dragon...

    Ducati Multistrada S

    Did a demo ride on one of these today - WOW! Incredible motor on that bike - it pulls and pulls and pulls. Even in touring mode, the front wheel threatened to loft in second gear without being overly aggressive. It takes off like a rocket and sounds mean too, but is rather comfy (seat could use...

    Finally broken in...who needs a re-flash???

    I've reached ~6k miles on the bike now and much of that is from commuting so my riding for much of that time has been pretty subdued except for the long trip to TN/NC/GA I did last year where it got ridden pretty hard. I haven't had much time this year to just go out and ride for the fun of it...

    Increased surging?

    On my 2014 ES (6k miles), it always had very abrupt 'surging' acceleration in low gears when in sport mode but now it feels like T mode is surging as well - more than it used to. Maybe it's just my poor recollection (haven't ridden much since the winter due to weather/travel/etc) and I did spend...

    Yamaha Pit Jackets On Closeout

    FYI - I bought one of these on closeout at Iron Pony today...not meant to be worn on the bike for protection but certainly go nice with the black/red bikes. They are currently closing them out...there's an outer jacket and a liner. The liner comes out and has the same branding and can be worn...

    Camping and Sleep Apnea

    This is sort of a continuation of the discussion in the topic HERE...I didn't want to continue to muck up that other thread. Anyway, I heard an ad for this today and it looks like a viable CPAP alternative that would make primitive camping possible for those on CPAP. I just learned of it and...

    Saddleman Adventure Tour Seat (two piece set) SOLD

    SOLD I bought this from a forum member near the end of last year, not too long after I got my Sargent seat. At the time I wasn't sure how well my rear was going to hold up on the Sargent and I wanted a backup just in case I felt I was going to need something different. Because of when I...

    OIl change on lift?

    A friend gave me a hydraulic lift for the bike. It's not quite as nice as some and you almost need 2 people to get the bike on there securely but hey it was free. I plan on doing my oil change on there but then I realized I won't be able to lean the bike to assist with the oil drain because of...

    OEM Oil Filters

    I had the local dealer do the first service and it's time for the second oil change which I'll do myself. Reading through the oil change threads to glean any nuggets of info not found in the manual and I see that the part number for the filter used to be 5GH-13440-20-00 but now is listed as...

    Cinci to Georgia and Back

    Almost 1300 miles and 5 days later, I'm back from the a trip down south, mostly to the area around Deals Gap in TN/NC but hit some roads all the way down to Georgia. Took non-interstate roads all the way home except for about 20 miles. The Tenere was great on the trip...comfortable for the long...

    Sargent Seat

    I know there are several seat threads (most old) but this one is a little different. I've been wanting to replace the stock seats for a while but was waffling on which to get. The stock seat is OK and better than most stock seats but at about 1.5 hours, it really starts to get uncomfortable for...

    Does anyone know for sure if the Givi mount SR371 fits the 2014+ S10's? Some retailers say yes and others say no.

    Givi Accessory Bar

    I just recently received my Givi topcase and along with it came a product catalog. I started looking through it and saw that they have an accessory bar that basically replaced the top piece of the handlebar clamp with a new piece that has a stalk and bar attached. Even on Givi's site the don't...

    Windscreen Tint?

    Has anyone ever tinted their windscreen using auto window tint? Curious as to the results and wondering how it holds up when things get wet.

    Akrapovic vs Stock

    I did a quick video when I installed mine...might be helpful to some. I didn't notice an increase in sound level (decibels) but it definitely sounds gruntier, if that's a word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DRPasi3yCg

    What do you carry?

    What items do you keep on the bike for emergencies etc for normal riding (commuting, etc) and what more do you carry on long trips (included OEM tools not withstanding). So far, I've stashed away zip ties, electrical tape, multi-tool, pen, paper, and a flashlight. I will also be including a 4GB...
