    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...

    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

    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.

    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...

    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

    Hello and help

    Hello, I'm Chris. I'm racking my brain trying to make a decision. I have a 2009 Concours that is a great bike, but I've pretty much decided that I want to trade for a Super Ten. I did 500 miles on a 2015 S10 last summer and fell in love. I keep going back and forth on one decision; Do I...
