    Sena 10C Evo - Advice needed

    How do switch of the "volume max" beep on the unit? I suspect the dial turns in the wind and then you get a very loud beep in your ear every so often! Thanks!

    690R - 650 vs 690 engine

    I am looking a very good looking 2010 690 Enduro R "Rally" with +/- 5000km. The bike has more extras than I will use and it is well above my skill grade, but what the hell, it looks great. Should I be worried about the 2010 650cc motor? Is this a slight upgrade from the "troublesome" 640 (or...

    KTM 990 Average km's on a tank?

With panniers and my son on the back into wind at 140ish it dropped to about 180km before the light...
