You are correct , I don't know what I was thinking Colt 45 ? I went with Pilot Road 4 on the front and a Roadsmart 2 on the back. How many miles do you have now?

Bought a Harbor Freight static balancer and balanced the tires for the super ten and the darksider rear for the ST .
Although the Dunlap needed no weights !!
While i had them on the stand i cleaned and waxed the spokes .
The stealership quoted me $40 to balance the two rims !! The balancer and the weights cost me $40
I had a friend come over thats been doing his for years and said im right on the money , he also said i should get the reusable weights that clip on the spokes

practised a bit my DIY tire change abilities by removing the Continental TKC80 and put back on the Heidenau front tire. Still tricky with the innertube though...used the rim protectors but damned they slipped when using the tire iron...so another mark on the rim...next the rear tire

After a while you will stop worrying about that. With a dual purpose bike, actually used as such, gravel flying will pit up the rims. I have put lots of dings in mine banging over rocks, and doing trail side tube replacement. I don't bother with rim protectors any more.

Sit the tires in the sun, and make sure both sides get warm before doing the tires change. It is much easier that way.

I replaced the super cheap horn on the S Ten , as you can see the stock one looks like it came of a Powerwheels kiddy car ! ! The replacemant Wolo horn is MUCH louder and was less than $8 delivered COME ON YAMMI !!

I purchased the wolo because the one on my Honda is full of water so i tried it out on the Tenere because it was easy to get to . Thats when i found out how CHEESY it is .

Oil comparison in the Super Ten , i changed the factory oil at 700 miles and put Yamalube 10/40 synthetic , then at 5,000 miles i put Amsoil 10/30 ,today at 10,000 miles i put Shell Rotella T6 an ran her 150 miles . I noticed No difference between the Yamalube,Amsoil, or the Rotella in the ST . My freind put 60,000 miles on his Super Ten with Rotella and it runs like a new bike .I usually try and spring for Yammi or Honda filters . Just my opinion
