I just received my service manual (WOW--$100+) so I started experimenting with removing fairings and discovering where things are located. I was a bit disappointed in the service manual with regard to front and rear wheel removal. I have done enough of that thing to understand the a few of the detail steps I believe are left out. For example with the front wheel removal. My manual has three steps. Basically, (1) put bike on center stand; (2) remove front brake calipers; and (3) elevate front wheel. OK, what about lossening the pinch bolts, the axle bolt and then evevating so the wheel can be removed?

Enough of my soap box. But that's what I did today--remove plastic, the rear seat and additional carrier, reinstall same and other service manual investigations.
Maybe some things are taken for granted.. ::025::

I was going to go for a second ride on Saturday, but then this came rolling through. My house is somewhere in the middle of this. It went dark as night at 5pm. More bark than bite, these "haboobs" look very ominous rolling in.

besides missing out a few steps, they added one that's not necessary. You only need to remove one caliper (I removed the right, but I think it doesn't matter which).

You may want to back off a bit when crossing freeways with the S10 on dirt roads next time. :)

Great photo. ::008::

If the Valley is Drayton Valley yes, but aren't you in Arizona? I'm in Alberta.

Put the Jesses bags on today. The Jesses top case is on the way and so is the Ride on ADV skid plate.
A big + on the Jesse cases! They actually enhance the overall appearance of the bike.

I like a lot!
