    Another spoke problem thread

    So an update to my original post. The dealer closest to me is the dealer I went through to try my warranty claim, has not returned my multiple calls.and messages to the service manager. I had to go there personally to get an answer the first time. I won't mention their name but they are...

    Another spoke problem thread

    I'm Canadian so my bike is in kilometers. By the time I arrived home, I was slightly over the service interval mileage.. the fact is, when I noticed the bent spoke, I still had a couple hundred miles to go before the scheduled maintenance. Who knows when it actually happened. It shouldn't...

    Another spoke problem thread

    It was a quick trip that was made at the last minute. The lost spoke happened on a Sunday and in the middle if nowhere. I had no choice but to ride it home the 300 miles or so. In retrospect, I should have checked the spokes but in reality, who. Among us would have checked the spokes in a...

    Another spoke problem thread

    About 800kms on bike (450 miles or so), and I lose a spoke. It was hanging off and banging into the swingarm just like I've read many others have. I was out of town on my first trip with the bike. Now that I'm home, I have 1400kms on the bike (about 900miles) and Yamaha says I'm responsible...

    Rubber inserts in footpegs

    That's what I was thinking too. Of course, I was wearing my riding boots last night when I noticed it missing. Off road boots. I may notice it if I was wearing sneakers. Not that I'd ever do that. haha

    Rubber inserts in footpegs

    One of mine fell out. Does anyone run the bike with these removed? I'm wondering if I should try and find a replacement rubber, take the other one out or maybe buy an aftermarket set with a wider footprint. I'd rather not spend the money to be honest. I never noticed it missing until I...

    Pic of '15 ES with Jesse Luggage

    Initially I would have said grey but that black is looking tastey.

    My new SupTen fell over! Gads!!

    I had 50 miles on my Tenere when I dropped it on my gravel driveway. Thank-you Alt Rider. I scratched up the left side bag and crash bars. It's mostly scratches but one is down to the metal. Should I just repair it with BBQ paint or is there something better. It's about the size of half a...

    Rumbux or Altrider Crash Bars?

    Just dropped my '15 Tenere on a gravel road. Alt Rider crash guards did their job. Only 50 miles on the bike. Argh.

    Camping and Sleep Apnea

    EricV, good info. I'll look at my machine tonight and try to work through your calculations. I'd like to say I could go without my machine for a bit but I don't think I can. It will make my trip miserable. I suppose the hassle of having the machine and finding a way to make it work will be...

    Camping and Sleep Apnea

    I use the ResMed S9 and I guess I need a converter. I'll have to carry an extra battery and a converter. Wouldn't I need to run a deep cycle battery in order to discharge it and recharge it regularly? Do they make small deep cycles?

    Camping and Sleep Apnea

    I love this idea JRE. I will be camping for a couple weeks on the bike this spring and use a sleep apnea machine. I've researched quite a bit but besides expensive batteries from ResMed, I can't seem to find a logical solution for powering the machine at night. I doubt I'll find power at too...

    Super Tenere Under Powered?

    d I have only 10 miles on my bike. haha. I'm sure T mode has it's place like Checkswrecks mentions. Not to derail, but I'll be down in San Diego with the Tenere in June. PM me with anything I should see or places to ride. I'll be the one sucking on the tailpipe of a Ducati Multistrada.

    Super Tenere Under Powered?

    I have very little experience with this bike so time will tell. However, my comment was only to say that the touring mode is lethargic. The S mode is about what I expected with this bike. I bought this bike for reliability and all day comfort. My friend with the 1190 is on his second one as the...

    Super Tenere Under Powered?

    I finally rode my S10 for the first time the other day. It's still snowy in places but I managed to get safely out of my driveway and onto the dry road. I love as happy enough in sport mode I guess. I really wasn't expecting much from this bike in terms of arm stretching power. However, touring...

    Installed SW-MOTECH crash bars & Altrider Skid Plate - Some "after" pictures.

    Very nice Kendal. I just installed the same stuff on my '15 Super T. However, it's cold and snowy outside so I won't be riding around anytime soon.
