    valves and the limit

    My S10 has been my only vehicle for nearly 2 years. Money's a bit tight and I don't have the chops or the tools to do a valve check myself. I'm at about 21k miles on my 2014. The lead service tech at my local dealer said if it were his, he probably wouldn't do the check until around 50k miles...

    Anyone know the size of the crush washer for the final drive? A link would be much appreciated, if you got one.

    Altrider wtf?

    I'm gonna start off by having a local pro just tack it while it's on the bike to keep it from vibrating while I decide what I wanna do long-term.

    Altrider wtf?

    A local guy just said he'd do it for a positive Google review. My concern was whether they might be over-torqued and possibly damaging the engine and frame. I might loosen things up and re-snug.

    Altrider wtf?

    I sent an email with pics. My guess is they'll tell me to sod off.

    Altrider wtf?

    Ever seen anything like this? Just came out this morning and saw the leftside crash bars just cracked on their own. No drop. No impacts. Had them installed by the dealership 2 years ago while having other service completed. A bad batch from AltRider? Improper install (over-torqued) by dealer? WTF?

    Trailmax Mission - early death, but I survived

    Only had about 300 miles on my new 2nd set when this happened to the rear. I saw it coming on a back road but had nowhere to swerve. Amazingly, not only did it get me to my local shop, it held all the air until they were able change it later that day. Thankfully, they had one in stock. I'm a...

    11k miles on Dunlop Trailmax Missions

    In the extreme cold/wet (<40) they can be slightly slippy at backroad intersections. Taking it easy is fine. Above that temp, the tires have been killer in the rain. I unexpectedly hit at least 8 inches of standing water in the dark on my way to work this morning. I was only going about 40 but...

    11k miles on Dunlop Trailmax Missions

    Slapping on my 2nd set today after an impressive, year-round commuting 11k miles. The front looks great still, but it's cupping a bit. I'd keep it if I only did slow roads. These tires have been great and a great bang for the buck.

    Any Options Available for a Rear Pillion Luggage Rack??

    I'd be interested in this. I've also had direct conversations with Lyndell from Altrider where he told me their leadership has killed the idea of bring theirs back due to the current shipping delays and materials shortages.

    Additional LED brake/turn signal lights

    Greetings. I'm thinking about lowering my Altrider luggage rack. This will make the Givi 58L topcase lower, which should make the brake light more difficult to see for SUV/truck drivers. Any ideas for adding an auxiliary LED tail light/turn signal somewhere on, or around, the license plate...

    Lower crash bars

    Hi. My Rumbux system is dead. Bad day. Me and bike are okay. T-Rex is out of stock. Suggestions to have upper and lower crash system appreciated. Thanks.

    Fork Springs - 2014 non-ES

    I know topics get worn out on forums. I'm trying to get quick answers. I'm over 300lbs and wanting to re-spring the front. The bike came with a Touratech Adv rear with resevoir. It's perfect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Arrow Bung Plug Size?

    Mine vibrated out. I need a quick replacement to throw in for a minute. What's the size? I'm thinking m18x1.5mm. The original owner did Arrow headers, ECU flash, PCV, and Autotune. He pulled the AT before sale and threw in a plug. He ended up selling me the AT cheap later but I haven't put...

    Engine sound/noise

    Always loved how he skipped the 600 mile service and the tear down later showed no issues.

    Engine sound/noise

    I have wanted an S10 since I did 500 miles on a demo over a weekend in 2015. I'm hoping to Long Haul Paul this girl.

    Engine sound/noise

    I can't say the spokes are perfect, but I'm confidant the noise is engine-related.....though it might be a normal S10 sound.

    Engine sound/noise

    Changed the oil as soon as I got her home, along with clutch/brake fluid. Been procrastinating on doing coolant. 7yo/5k miles.
