    Stupid question of the day: How do YOU shift?

    Ive been riding for almost 2 decades now, and I am self taught in everything bike related. I've been recently watching a bunch of different riding videos, as I enjoy seeing other bikes in action, and I've noticed a lot of clutchless up shifts (mostly with sport bikes) and a weird throttle action...

    Does your bike jump when you put it in gear, also TB synch question

    Ive never had a bike that did this, and ive never had a hydraulic clutch either. But when I shift from neutral to 1rst, the bike jumps forward a bit. Not so much I cant control it, but not unlike when you shift into gear without the clutch pulled in (minus the runaway bike and stalling) I also...

    Pulsing vibration issue?

    I had to go out of town for a day so I dropped it off at the dealer to be looked after (I live in the hood) and asked them to investigate some of the issues. Tech said there was a significant bounce in the front, thinks it might be a flat spot from sitting for a month on the show floor. I...

    Need ideas to improve my carry capacity / how to remove grab bars w/side racks

    at this point, i think i have the handle situation figured. With the Altrider rear, Ill just install it in the high position so its flush with the rear seat. that way ill be able to keep the handles as tie points and as lift points in case of a nap. and that way I can run a large bag on the rear...

    Anyone have experience with Soloboxes?

    A word about these: search the KLR forums about them. Also I think ADVrider had a few mentions. A while back, he was into some bad business of not delivering. I ordered some for the KLR when I had it. First off, I wasnt impressed with the hardware. The bolts used to mount rusted quite fast...

    Need ideas to improve my carry capacity / how to remove grab bars w/side racks

    OK Yall, since I got my S10 back, Id like to start making it "perfect" Right now, I have the 44L Givi side cases and the Givi rear rack. I only have the 2 side cases and rarely feel the need for a top case, not to mention the cases tend to rattle on the top plate for some reason. So Im...

    Pulsing vibration issue?

    So today, I noticed a few things that I never did before. First is there seems to be both a slight wheel hop around 30mph in the front, and at lower speeds the bike feels like it wiggles from side to side. Normally I would attribute that issue with the tire tread, but im running Shinko 804/805...

    Question I get asked a lot: Why the S10 vs a GS. Whats your answer?

    Just as the title says, I get asked a lot why I picked the Super Tenere over a GS usually once a week. My usual answer is price, reliability and cost of repairs. What do you guys say when/if posed with that question? What made YOU pick the S10?

    Bike suddenly faster? Also stupid headlight question

    sounds like how i used to have to start the cb. i didnt even have a key for it, just a toggle switch in plain view. i figured if anyone could figure out the combo of throttle and kicks they could have it. ::025::

    Bike suddenly faster? Also stupid headlight question

    yeah, it was weird. the only thing i can think of that was different was the situation, usually im upright on pavement but i was leaned a bit over on a big traffic circle on brick, so im thinking the bigger outer knobs on the tkc80s caught the brick edges and hooked up before the bike could...

    Bike suddenly faster? Also stupid headlight question

    about 30k. It just feels a bit more sprightly suddenly. Unless for some reason the front brake was dragging since I bought it and suddenly came loose when I performed a brake check.....

    Bike suddenly faster? Also stupid headlight question

    I know this is going to sound like I went full tard, but tonight I noticed the bike felt like it accelerated significantly faster than it has since I got it. No, I didn't accidentally find "S" mode (it's never left "S" save for a hand full of times in really bad wet). Tonight, I was leaving a...
