Re: break down!!!
Hey jaz, I also have a Ten and have had a rain problem. The one and only time when mine cut out was coming back from Wales in the snow on the M62 from Manchester over the Pennines. I was travelling quite slow as the vis and conditions were absolutely appalling. The slush from passing lorries was hit...

Re: Gloves - in or out
Unfortunately any rain that does hit your arm will run underneath and eventually get down to your wrist. This is even worse if you have Gortex clothing as the water will wick along underneath the arm and find the lowest point to come out. If you have Muffs on it doesn't matter that much as the water...

Re: Gloves - in or out
Fitted a pair of Tucano muffs recently and have switched back to (non waterproof) summer gloves. The muffs are huge. Been in light rain with no problems, will report back after heavy rain. Tucano for the winter and bad weather is the way to go. Take a few minutes to put on then you can use thin glo...
Re: Lights
, BUT this time I'm using VisionX spotties, one dip (flat) beam and one round, (distance) beam. Yes they are expensive but very good, I had had an electronics 'geek' draw me a diagram which will switch the dip spot with my dip light and switch both main spot AND dip with the main bulb, hence floodi...
Re: Lights
I also have a Tenere and the lights are the worst I have ever had on a bike. I once went down the HID route in both dipped and main. The problem was that when you switched from dip to main, the element took too long to heat up and if you were 'making progress' there was a distinct lack of light and ...

Re: Who is in the yorkshire group
I'm in Huddersfield but recovering from two broke knees at the moment. Cannot decide whether to sell XT660Z and get a lower bike or not yet!

Re: Muffs - fitting over Barkbusters
I use the Tucano muffs as well over my barkbusters and can confirm that the system works very well. I have heated grips and just use thin gloves all year round now which I personally think is a lot safer that using thick gloves. I don't do wet hands neither. These muffs are so easy to fit that I som...
