http://www.clutchbuddy.com Interesting product but I think it operates wrong and could be simpler. What they don't talk about is, if you keep pressure off the plates while at rest, that helps it shift into first without the 'clunk". This would allow that capability.

I've always thought a bike will tell you what oil it likes. Haven't tried a lot of different oils on the Tenere yet. Yamaha, Rotella and the blue jug similar to Rotella. (possibly Delo) All seem similar for shifting. My issue is down shifting. Little clunky. Up shifting is great. And yes I have...

After seeing someone posting that they made a front fender extender from a plastic oil container (free!) I'd thought I'd try it and wala! But then I noticed something! All the talk about water intrusion in the spark plug wells, well it makes sense now! Stock fender allows water to fly (sling)...

I've never really cared for Seafoam much even though motorcyclist seem to use it a lot. I use other stuff. Here's a little blerb on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg9ppeUMpK4

This is what happens with all the winter down time and boredom sets in! Got all the geometry figured out, a few pieces made, others on order. I think it should work, we'll see.

Heck, I even put back on my stock exhaust!

I've had this on for a season now and have enjoyed the robust sound it has. (See vids compared to stock) I made a custom exhaust on my little 'hot rod' Magna (around the town bike) and will use the S10 for longer rides, so I put the stock exhaust back on to have a quieter ride for that. I put...

OOH, looks like Yamaha will be reveling a new (touring?) motorcycle this June. Makes sense seeing they discontinued the Royal Star. ::015::

While I've pretty much enjoyed the S10, The bike I was looking @ the time was a Versys1000. I never take the S10 off road so I really don't need it's full capabilities and I miss 4 cyl smoothness. Can't find a dealer that even wants to take a S10 in cause all they do is sit around forever! They...

Made my own handlebars so these are not needed now.

Those hand deflectors just block too much air when it's warm out. This helps get a little flow in there! I can just install 5/8" plastic plugs when it cools down. ::013:: I like the look too!

I enjoy working, modding on bikes almost as much as riding, but this S10 just keeps going (I know, a good thing) So when I'm not riding (can't do that ALL the time, it rains too) I went and bought a 20 year old Magna to play with. Love V4's, just got to figure out how I want to mod it...

Anyone hear or notice a mounting change on the PL14612 filter? My last one bottomed out on the inner thread before fully sealed properly. Didn't start leaking until it had nearly 2K miles on it. Now it drips oil just sitting still! ::010::

Now that I have taller handlebars on, I really don't like the look of the stock mirrors now. 2nd gen either. I know, that's being a little picky, but they are right in your face. I like the look of the KTM adventure mirrors but I doubt they would have the same thread size. Anybody change the...

That is if you raised the bars more than 2". ::26::

Took off the front plastic exhaust cover (custom exhaust on now) and you have a great lift point to get it up on the center stand! ::015::

Looking to make some brake line extenders so I don't have to buy new brake lines when I make new handlebars. I've seen the banjo bolt listed as M10x1.00 and M10x1.25. Any idea which it is?

Thinking about gutting it and make my own guts. Anybody try taking one apart? If you ask 'why?', cause I'm cheap and want to spend $ elsewhere. ::017::
