Just picked up a set of Bridgestone S22's for $242.90 shipped. For that price I thought I'd give them a try.

Cool. Thanks.

You could replace the cigarette lighter adapter (they have to be the worst possible design for anything but an actual cigarette lighter and I can't believe Yamaha actually used them) with a BMW plug or an SAE connector, OR, I tapped into the accessory wired located on the right side by cutting a slit through the plug on that side, and hard wired my GPS setup there. I have to look for the pix I took while doing that mod, but I'd be surprised if someone here hadn't already done that.

Toonbobo, takes guts to admit a mistake. First time I adjusted my chain I looked at that setup and said to myself 'make sure that left side is seated properly before you torque down the nut'. I hope I continue to remember to do so.
All that said, those adjusters you put on as a replacement are quite elegant looking and a much better design, IMO. Looks like a mod I may end up doing 'just because'. Thanks again for posting this.

All good advice so far. If you're on the fence about the tire, you could contact some shops on your route to see if they are stocking what you prefer to run in the size you need, and what it would cost you. If your itinerary is solid, you could even schedule it before you go. Most shops will give priority to someone with trouble while on the road, but won't be able to do so if they don't have the tire you need in stock.
