    25" Parabellum windscreen mod

    Hey guys, I got a 25" Parabellum off Ebay from the manufacturer. It had a couple small scratches during its "birth" and I got it about half price. Enough gloating, already. .... It is a great windshield but in the high position, it was too high. There was a problem though. If I lowered it...

    Anyone had this happen?

    I haven't either...... now that I have a reader - I want to know if anyone's radiator fan has burned up (without being jammed because of a drop). The reason I want to know is mine comes on a lot when slow riding -not that I do a lot of slow riding but that's how I describe my gravel road...

    Yamaha master mechanics

    Just wondering, does Yamaha have a master mechanic "program"? It would be nice if Yamaha factory trained their mechanics and there was a database one could search to find a local one. Sorry if this is already somewhere and I couldn't find it. I'm due for the 24.000 mile check up. I may run it...

    Strange tire wear w/pic

    I noticed this tire wear after a real hot day. I'm just wondering is it normal? It's almost like a bubble but it's solid. It's on every tread on the same side. You can see it on the tread right by the fender. Hope the picture is good enough. The tire feels smooth and going down the road.

    1st world problem

    I need some feedback from you guys and girls. I'm already thinking of the cold weather riding (because I LOVE it!) and I am going to get a heated vest this year. The problem is I have heated Gerbing gloves which I really like and I also have heated grips (redundant). If you had to make a...

    2012 Heaven

    Admittedly, I haven't had a lot of bikes in my life. I got this 2012 Tenere about three weeks ago. It was a progression from a Suzuki Burgman 400 to a Honda NC 700 to the Tenere in about 15 months. I had been off bikes for 32 years. Just got back from two 300 mile days. I don't have the words...

    New to me 2012 took me home today

    Quick intro. 59 yo. Just got back to bikes late in 2013 after a 32 year hiatus. I've got a Honda NC700X right now. It gets incredible mpg. The mpg of the S10 is a consideration but not the final straw. The NC will do 75-80 all day but there's not much punch left when passing . The NC and the S10...
