I do take the back roads to get to and from work. Too bad work isn't on the other side of Austin next to the hills! Yeah, we've had one minor cold snap but since then, 70's and 80's. My only issue with riding now is I don't most days. I work from home 90% of the time now so there's no need...

I agree with Dustin. It would be a difficult choice unless you've experienced all of them. I do like the thought of an adventure bike and all the possibilities that comes with it. The only thing I do not like about the Super Tenere is the weight. That bike is very heavy. I like the Tiger...

Took it to work today. Gotta love Texas winter. 62 F when I left this morning, 80 for the ride home today.

We never did the pic tutorial, but I have this one pic from the other forum that says it all. In the center circled in yellow is the screw you want to adjust #2 & #3 with. Once balanced, then you use the two outer brass screws to balance #1 & #4 with the other two. Be sure you have the...

Well, you can also consider buying a frame and doing the work yourself? It would (to me) be a cool project because I like to wrench. If you look at Partshark, all the older years list a frame replacement number which is the frame for the 2012+ years. Here's their price. Also, if Yamaha does...

Please keep us informed and if you could, document the numbers and people you spoke to here to help any others that find themselves in this unfortunate situation. I hope they replace this without hassle!

Because I missed out, I'm doing many posts from Texas...

In CA, it is expected but I fear when this passes in other states. A lot of people will not be aware and when you do this in other places, people get angry enough to pull out or block your way. I agree with lane splitting to an extent, that being when traffic is not "at speed" and you can...

I'd like to get the fairing and radiator guards only. I have a Yamaha chin fairing and his Strike seat cowl already. If I got them in basic black, I could have fun with the paint! Or, put them on and do a black vinyl wrap on the tank.... Hmmmm...... He came out with this design some time...

Copperdog came out with the DV8R model (speaking only of appearance here) long before the FZ-10 was announced. It has a small likeness to the FZ-10, you think? DV8R

Try this guy... DV8R is a cover for the seat and then two that replace the seat are SeatCowl

What are you replacing it with? Some good deals here for those without!

I appreciate and respect your opinion Ballmead and as you've stated, we will agree to disagree. I've already stated my opinion as well. :D

What do you all think of a new banner? I'm not sure what we can get away with with Yamaha and rights but I quickly threw this together....

The EXUP valve at low RPMs is default to closed (or nearly) and begins opening at higher RPMs. After some searching, I found this explanation to be the most simplistic. (EXUP (Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve) | Yamaha Motor Australia) I also found this blurb in the R1 forum that makes sense...

Very nice ride! Decided to go Italian? :p The scat pack has some impressive stats! Enjoy the h377 out of that beast! Congrats!!

Bottom line is this is the 998cc.org site. The new bike is a 998cc Yamaha motorcycle fashioned after the current R1, exactly like the previous models of FZ - 998cc bikes. The evolution of the machine was always a de-tuned 998cc R1 and this model is no different (referencing the evolution of...

Done and done! Please let me know if you see any necessary edits, changes or wanted additions. Thanks for suggesting this!

So, my dumb-arse self forgot the GoPro so no video. Sorry! But, this is her arriving home with the new beast. We took some side roads home then I twisted her arm to get her to go out Nameless Road to get a feel for it in the corners. It was getting very hot and she was reluctant but we did...

Sorry about the sciatica Billy. I too have been hampered by this (too much desk work) so I've been getting up and moving every hour. Her bike was a leftover on the floor and without modifying the suspension, just adding the extra-low seat, it will be 30.3" so with her boots on, she should be...
