    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...

    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

    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...

    Where do yall mount your cameras?

    I know this is general question, but where do yall mount your action cameras? I just picked up a Garmin Virb and am looking all over for places to mount this thing. So far, Ive not really found anywhere that I like that is both easily accessible to turn it on and off, but mounted in such a way...

    Please tell me Im not stupid, windshield differences between '12 & '14

    I went and ordered a madstad windshield thing the other day from a website Ive never seen, and when I got it the instructions say for '14+. I ordered one for a 12+ and this thing is no where near fitting. The company swears its the same part from madstad (even tho it doesnt look like the picture...

    Rear brake "kickback"?

    I did a search and didnt see anything, so I figure Id ask the brain trust. Ive noticed that on occasion (an occasion that I have failed to replicate) that when Im coming to a stop, the rear brake pedal will suddenly "push up", or become more firm while giving a definite push. I know the front...

    Ideas for a "Rescue" S10, and an odd observation

    I do Volunteer Search and Rescue and used my previous bike (a KLR) to transport me and what gear I have to sites. I plan on doing the same with the S10, but I figure Id ask you guys if anyone has pics, part suggestions or has seen a bike like ours outfitted with siren and strobes? Also today...

    Givi Trekker Monokeys, 46L. Also the Givi racks and top plate, Indianapolis

    So I think Im going to do away with the Givi gear on this bike. The PO installed what seems to me to be the whole Givi kit: side mounts/crash bars, top plate and 2 Trekker 46L cases. I, and these cases, am now located in Indianapolis IN, so that may be closer to some of you guys. My thoughts...

    Anyone near SC wanna help turn a wrench?

    I just got my S10 and sadly am not mechanically inclined or so equipped if I were. I was hoping to get the clutch basket and cct swapped out. Of course id ride, bring parts and whatever else to compensate. I just dont trust dealers around here. THANKS!!!

    New to me Super Tenere, yall got any advice?

    I bought an FJ09 (#18 mind you) right off the showroom floor when my KLR died. Well, I had hoped it would have been something I could take off road, but it wasnt. A torn out drain plug later, I found out the hard way. So, my original plan was to swap for a DL1000, but yalls advice told me that...
