    Can-Am Adventure Spider

    I been thinking it would be different to build a Spider adventure bike. I mean most of us don't single track our Tenere's, but do ride on dirt and gravel roads. I think it would work, long travel suspension, mud/snow tires, strip off some of the plastic and it's a mean dirt machine. Just have...

    Madstad windshield mount

    Just a heads up on the Madstad windshield mount. If you have your GPS or anything else mounted on your stock crossbar, it will not fit on the Madstad bar. That bar is 7/8 inch thick, vs 12/13 mm . There are adaptors, but thats more money to spend. You would think that they would tell you that...

    did the S10 motor come from a another bike?

    Given the external design of the S-10, did the motor already exists in another model. kinda like the banshee had RD 350 motors. Surely (don't call me Shirley) they did not build the engine, thinking that the oil filter and other items being exposed was a good idea. If they did, what were they...

    I know that this is for discussing the bike, but as my wife and I are retired police officers, I need to ask for your prayers for the fallen Dallas officers. I know that some of you are law enforcement or retired law enforcement, so I think that you feel our loss and frustration about these...

    Flash for better milage.

    I read numerous forum threads about flashing the ECU to gain power, take away hesitation and make the motor more lively, ect, ect and so on. However, I use my touring mode for distance travel and the sport mode for the canyons. I have to see anyone mention using a "flash" to extend milage, when...

Not sure why the thing comes on...
