2012 Yamaha Super Tenere with 2015 DMC Expedition sidecar. $16K or best offer. Bike is in SE Michigan. 21824 miles on bike, around 3000 miles on sidecar which was professionally installed by DMC Sidecars in Enumclaw Washington. I bought this bike new and rode it about 19,000 miles as a solo...

Hello, I have not posted in ages, but those who remember me will know I am suffering a progressive health issue that has made the left side of my body increasingly weak. To keep riding my Super10, I have installed a sidecar (holds the bike up at stops!), a Klicktronic shifter (because my foot...

For those who have not seen me mention this previously, due to some medical issues, I probably have the most heavily (and peculiarly) modded Super10 of anyone on this forum. ::) Anyways, my clutch hand is following my left foot into stupidity and weakness. I can take a nice ride through the...

Hello, Here I go, even deeper into the rabbit hole of disability mods... I installed a Klicktronic push button shifter, last year, to compensate for my left foot's failure to function properly. Now my left hand is following my left foot, becoming weaker and stupider, and I am particularly...

So I ordered the Touratech brake pedal extender. The shipping seemed exorbitant at $16.36, and the part was pretty darn spendy as well. When you shop with the BMW riders, you pay a high premium. But I really wanted that part so I ponied up the big bucks. Still, $16 for shipping, for...

People keep asking me what car tire DMC put on the rear of my Super10. The "darkside" thing seems like a terrible thing to do to a good handling motorcycle whose handling isn't already messed up by hanging a sidecar on it, so I hope none of you rush out and buy this tire. And I'm sure not...

I am wondering if a different front tire would be a better way to reduce the wobble tendency, than a steering damper would be. There are sidecar-specific tires which have a flatter profile. Note that when they call these "sidecar tires" they're not talking about just the tire on the sidecar...

I took delivery last weekend! Mr Elizilla drove me out to meet the truck at a truck stop a couple miles from the house, and I drove it home. It is the DMC Expedition, which is one of their larger sidecars. I decided that since the Super10 is large and tall, a large sidecar would be better...

Has anyone installed a steering damper? What's available? What can people here recommend? My Super10 sidecar outfit arrived yesterday. I met the delivery driver out at the truck stop by the freeway, a couple miles from where I live, and rode it home. It handles very well except for one...

I just might do it. I have been talking to Jay at DMC Sidecars. It sounds like it would be moderately expensive and a moderate logistical hassle, rather than extremely expensive and a huge logistical hassle. :-) He's going to send me a quote. Push button shifter, steering mods...

I have developed something called drop foot on my left foot. It's a problem with the nerves and it makes it so I cannot shift gears properly. I can downshift but I can't upshift because I can't lift my toe properly. Also the foot is kinda clumsy, so getting it off the ground to change gear...

Hey gang, I haven't been around much lately. This is because I am sad. I haven't ridden my Super10 since May 2013. Why? Because I am having some medical problems and I can't manage the Super10 very comfortably. I have what is called "drop foot" in my left foot. It's due to damaged nerves...

I was very happy with the Tourances on my V-Strom. Went through a half dozen sets of them, got about 9000 miles from each rear tire. Better than the Trailwings the Strom came with, and better than the Anakees I tried one time when the Tourances were out of stock. For what I do, the Tourances...

[NOTE - AN UPDATED LIST IS ON PAGE 9] I'm going to need tires soon, so it seemed like it would be handy to have a complete list of what is available in our sizes. So I just went through the Dennis Kirk catalog and highlighted every tire that is available in a matching pair for front and rear...

For sale: dual wireless controller from warmnsafe.com http://www.warmnsafe.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_71_81&products_id=257 Before you get too excited, note that you will still need to plug your heated gear into the bike. :) All this wirelessness buys you, is a remote...

In the hard starting thread, people are talking about Shorai batteries. Since I may be shopping for a battery soon, I decided to start a thread just for them. So... anyone tried one? Google offers up a number of positive reviews, and I recall seeing Shorai at the show last year, so they're...

I've been installing electrical farkles. I like to make everything tidy in there, so that if I ever have trouble it will be easy to work on. The problem I am dealing with, is that I have 14 different ground wires and they all need a spot to connect. Everything else is nice and neat, but these...

A couple of weeks ago I got a message out of the blue, from a guy named Davin at Powerlet Products. (http://www.powerlet.com/) He was looking for a Super Tènère to borrow for a day, so he could design bike-specific Powerlet kits for it, and he found me on this forum. If I would lend my bike...

Since the Givi luggage racks have this huge gap on the right side, where the left side has an exhaust, I made a tool tube like the ones you see on WeeStroms. It looks pretty good. So that my tools would not rattle, I bundled them up in a rag and tied it with a velcro strap. Well, I just...

Yesterday while riding through Ontario, I met up with TrilliumLiz from this forum. First other Tènèrè I have seen, apart from the demo bikes.
