    FOR SALE: OEM shock with heavier spring 12-13

    ALL SOLD! I bought this for my ex-Tenere, but I hit a cow and destroyed it before I ever got to install it. This is an OEM shock with a Hyperco 1100 pound spring on it. If you ride 2-up, or for whatever other reason you have to have your preload turned all the way up just to get close on sag...

    Heed crash bars - quick feedback

    I had the Heed bars on my bike, and a couple of weeks ago I hit a cow at about 50, and the bike tumbled and skidded a bunch, ending up with about a 60'slide on one side. Both bars took multiple impacts,a dn either were deflected, or bent in any tangible way. The right side bar is ground flat rom...

    Goodbye my Tenere...

    Well, eventually all good things must come to an end. For me, The End manifested itself thus: I was in the middle of the Mason Dixon 2020 Rally a couple of weeks ago. It was about 9:00pm, not cold, but raining, and things were good. I was in rural NC about 20 miles West of Statesville, and 750...

    Feedback/suggestion - re-org?

    tl;dr - The relentless moving of threads from the 'discussion' forum to specific sub-forums makes for a dreadful forum browsing experience, and is the primary reason I don't frequent the place. I do greatly appreciate the dedication to moderating the forum, no doubt about that. Please take this...

    AAftermarket shift lever for big boots?

    Hi there...looking for a recommendation. I bought some Forma boots that I love, but they are a bit fatter around the toe box than my other boots, making it a bit of a challemge to get my toe under the shifter. Are there aftermarket options that provide more room to facilitate use of a more...

    4500 RPM lean surge

    I'm sure I've read about this elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it with search. Could someone please point me to threads/info/web pages/whatever to learn about what causes this and how to fix it? Mine has gone from barely noticable to very irritating over about 10,000 miles, and the throttle...

    FS: Laam seat for Super Tenere

    This seat is virtually new, with maybe 1,500 miles on it. It has no wear, holes, etc. It's a great seat in every way, I just happen to like the RDL seat I have better, and I need to fund a helmet purchase, so this has to go. I paid $400 plus the cost of the seat itself that he modified. You can...

    WTB: Super tenere tank

    I'd like a 2012-1013 tank, but if they're all the same, I'll take any year. Ive tried to find out if they all work on any year or not, but haven't found out yet. Dented/crashed is fine, as long as it's reasonably fixable, and I don't care what color it is. Let me know!

    FOR SALE: Touratech adjustable screen mount

    (all of the other stuff is sold) Touratech adjustable windshield mount: This might work on other years, I'm not sure. It definitely works on the 12-13 model, as mine is a 12 and it fits and works perfectly. It has a few scratches on it where the PO used too-long screws to mount a windshield...

    YES warranty on a used bike?

    I know I cna find this out from a dealer, but it's 5am here and I'm curious now! :) can I go to my local dealer and buy YES coverage on my 27k miles '12 S10? I have a feeling it isn't worth it, as the bikes are mostly stone-axe reliable, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

    How does your S10 shift?

    I have seen several posts around the webs talking about how wonderfully great the Tenere's gearbox is. I must admit that mine, well, isn't. It's a 2012 with 27k on it now, and it's the stiffest and clunkiest trans I've rowed through in years. I've got premium synth oil in it, and I checked the...

    End of my rope: unbearable noise and/or turbulence

    This is a cross-post from adv, but I really badly need help with this, and am desperate. --- Ok, I'm getting desperate. I recently bought a 2012 S10. I've got a stock screen, a +4" V Stream screen, and I just bought a Power Bronze short/sport screen. In addition, I have a Touratech adjustable...

    How to attach stufff to the farkle bar?

    I have a Touratech adjustable windshield mount, and my considerable Google-fu has failed to reveal to me where to get/what to buy re: clamps and mounts that are set up for the diameter of that cross bar thingy. I'm sure I'm just being an idiot, so if someone could just post a link or three I'd...

    Aftermarket shock quesiton

    I haven't picked up my bike yet, but as a giant fatass, I already know I need to revamp the stock suspension. My question it this: if I get a shock that has a standard threaded preload adjuster (as opposed to a remote hydraulic one) will the adjuster be accessible? Or, is it necessary to get a...

    Forum themes?

    I've looked for a way to change the appearance of the forum but I'm not finding it. The white on grey w. the thin typeface is extremely difficult to read on a small monitor (like a netbook). Any help would be appreciated.

    New owner in Nashville TN

    Hi all! I don't even have my bike yet...just made the deal for it last night, and it's in MN. Ever since I had a deal done for a new 2002 Capo Nord which fell through at the last second due to shady dealer shenanigans, I've been saying that my next bike would be an ADV bike. Well, I've finally...
