Do you mean the setup specs, or the spring specs ?

The setup specs are in a previous post, but the spring specs I have no idea, being progressive they will taper along the length, but from what to waht I have no idea!

I've put a few miles on the bike since, and I have to say it's very nice. It feels very firm and planted on the road/gravel (not tried any mud yet, actually there is no mud just ice!), but you can still run over rough stuff (pot holes are a popular choice up here for road coverings...) and you get the same impact absorbtion as the OE springs.

Cornering is fantastic, the TCK's run pretty well right up to the edge, although you do get a bit of skip due to the gaps in tread patters.

One small problem. To the west of where I am ther eis alot of marsh land with rather strange bridges. These aren't the normal hump backed brideg but two ramps and a flat top, always single carridgeway roads. If you ride over the top of these the whole bike leaves the ground!!! To keep controll I've found I need to dab the front brake just before leaving the 'top' of the bridge. It's the same on some flat topped speed bumps, even at 30mph....

I've not tried the bike loaded up, but I'm hoping this is where I'll see the real advantage.

One thing that is very noticable, the EO springs have a huge ammount of statick sagg, probably about an inch difference between the HyperPro's and the OE springs.

Thanks GULG

It was the actual spring spec I was wondering about, but I'd also overlooked the fact that the Hyperpros are progressive.

Sounds like you're enjoying them!

I've been doing a few little upgrades of late, all of them with a purpose, as opposed to just a bit of bling. Actually, thinking this through, I've done bl00dy loads!!

Gosh! I wonder if I add up all the time and money if it will freak me...

Probably best not to mate, these bikes are meant to be cheap and affordable!

That's quite a list fella! I try not to think of what has gone on with mine, but things are always in progress. I just can't leave bikes alone!

Well I laughed.

As for the rest, I'm sticking my fingers in my ears and closing my eyes, given I bought the Ten as a reliable day-to-day bike *not* to be tinkered with (tripletom will verify that I've got plenty of other bikes for that!). Must resist temptation.

I haven't touched the XJR, honest, apart from a Puig screen.... but then it's just a toy really.

Better late than never, but at least someones awake!:030:

Pivot pegz? how are they?

I read a lot of different reviews.


I'm thinking of getting those before holiday.
Most of my mileage is done onroad, so i'm not sure whether it will make a difference.


PS) i also got a nice list of mods, but im still expanding :D:
TT Spoiler
OTR bashplate (maybe the one with toolbox)
SW-motech topcase
Pivot pegz (maybe)
Spring upgrade
Airfilter/box upgrade (maybe)
LED lights (maybe)
Handlebar risers

I have a pair of the cheapo �20ish wide pegs from Ebay and PivotPegz. I tried them both on the TTR for off-road stuff and the PivotPegz have the edge, much more comfortable over distance. The PivotPegz are 4 times (plus some) the price of the Ebay ones, I'm not sure they are 5 times better.

The ebay ones are cheap, they haven't got the best finish and they will corrode, but they are cheap and they do the job pretty much the same as the PivotPegs do.

Having tested both sets out off-road, I put the PivotPegz on the Tenere and the Ebay ones on the TTR (they are the same fitting) mainly beacuse the PivotPegz are much better quality and are less likely to corrode. I'm not concerned what the ebay ones look like, they are on a dirt bike!

Performance wise, when you are standing up all day then the PivotPegz have the edge, you keep full control but you can move your feet around.

In my opinion, it's a question of money, both sets will do pretty much the same job to most people, in a more off-road environment the PivotPegz are probably worth the extra, for a more road orientated environment, the ebay ones are just as good, but lack quality.

I have a set of Pivot Pegz. Very well engineered and comfy to ride with. Whilst I've not ridden off road with them, I've ridden plenty of off road with conventional pegs and I'd say these will be an improvement.

Got mine from here - these fit the Ten!
