[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 1451456, member: 4"] Well, the situation has brightened considerably... the regional Yamaha rep informs Desert Valley Powersports today that my Yamaha MT10 in Matte Raven Black has been ordered, and it has a January, 2023 arrival time. Not to patiently wait for it's arrival. :rolleyes: This will be a bigger challenge that the XR was to transform it into a superior Long-Distance Desert Runner. In addition to no rider protection, the range on this platform is a real problem. It has a tiny-ass stock tank of 4.5 gallons, coupled with what is reported to be crap MPG figures of very low 30's. Moving the XR's aux fuel cell over to the MT10 still only yields 8.8 gal total. So it's concerning. [IMG alt="🤔"]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t34/1/16/1f914.png[/IMG] All part of the adventure to see if this can be done!
