    Aftermarket lever suggestions

    I've purchased levers from the2wheels previously when I owned an ST1300 and while they physically look really nice, they are cheap and their flaws are apparent after a few weeks of riding. The little knob or adjuster is flimsy and I've had instances where it will just fall out of position that...

    Fuel stabilizers

    Take it from this Canadian who stores his bike for almost 6 months of the year! Fill your gas tank all the way to the top, add the recommended amount of Fuel Stabilizer (stabil or whatever) and then let it idle for about 10 minutes to ensure fuel is in all the rails and other parts with the...

    When engine cold tem the clutch jerks

    Before you do anything like changing clutch baskets and stuff, do the minimum -- change your Clutch Fluid AND your oil -- I've had the same issue and this resolved it for me.

    Tenere Scared me the other day!

    This kind of thing is actually more common then you think. I've had this exact same thing happen to me on my 2012 Triumph Rocket 3 and It also happened recently on my 2007 Yamaha MT-01. I don't actually know why it happens, but it happens. Everything seems to work fine as soon as you hit the...

    Kick stand so darn long. ?.

    I've experienced this issue. I have a 2016 ES and I've found that if the suspension is set too soft then yeah it will stand pretty straight, I'm almost afraid to get off it in case it does fall to the right. Stiffening up the suspension or making the rear end taller makes the bike lean over to...

    Eastern Beaver Connections Review

    That fusebox is so cool, I used to have an FZ1 Fuzeblock but this one is just amazing! I don't have many accessories but if I did this would be the way to go.

    Car GPS mounted to bike

    I've used a Garmin Nuvi 250 for almost 10 years until the cradle I used broke, so that could of gone forever but I opted to go for a new Nuvi instead to replace it, a Garmin Nuvi 2555 and a 2595 (I have 2 bikes) both of these are mounted with a ram mount to the handle bar and they have both...

    Yamaha heated grips not hot enough

    I would definitely check the settings in the menu, I've found that putting the setting at 10 for heat was so hot that I couldn't use it, I had to set it down to about 8... The heated grips if they are working fine will get bloody damn hot. How thick are your gloves? I have a 2016 ES

    So...what other bikes do you own?

    You're not the only one, I got one myself back in January! It's a 2007 MT-01. This is actually my second one, I did have a 2005 model back 10 years ago as well. This is the only bike I've wanted again after the first one was gone. It's truly a one of a kind, unique motorcycle that I've never...

    Making the change

    I'm a cruiser guy too at heart, but the S10 is just a wonderful bike to ride - its so smooth and some comfortable that I don't regret not having a big cruiser anymore!! ::001::

    Sena 30K My Review

    I personally have a Sena SMH10. Its an incredible device. I've had it for almost 6 years and its worked flawlessly in every way. I've always kind of looked at the newer models but with newer and more features, comes new problems... Sometimes simplicity is the best.

    Another ABS problem.

    Paul if I had to guess I would definitely do as the previous poster said, check voltage and see if its getting enough current -- I know my bike say's it's getting 14v when the bike is running and but that dips dramatically even when I use my air horn, or when the cooling fan comes on.. your...

    Gen2 Windscreen brackets to stop vibrations **SOLD OUT**

    Fair enough! I find that the bar is too far away for my eyes to see details on small screens. Also too far away to reach versus just having my hand there. I'd like to find some fun accessories to put on that bar though. Maybe a humidity sensor or something. who knows.
