Welcome! Assuming valve checks have been performed at specified intervals (every 26K)? Take a look at the rubber vacuum plug on the right side throttle body sync port, they tend to get brittle and crack. While you're at it, sync those TB's. That's all I got, the smart guys in the room will be...

Well, the S10 doesn't require a driveshaft replacement every 36K miles.....I'd say that's a "virtue". ;) "For the BMW R 1300 GS, BMW explicity recommends replacing the shaft every 36 000 miles / 60 000 km. This is quite a big job, but important preventative maintenance."...

I hate to contradict Ericv, but the rules are listed in post #8. (no file photos)

I respectfully (and vehemently) disagree......I was explicitly told NO FILE PHOTOS when I posted a file shot, the rationale being that the whole purpose of this thread is to get people out and riding. I could probably have grabbed 90% of the tags here if file photo's were allowed, please...

Kinda sorta but not explicitly (and not advertised as such, it's just heavy denier nylon). I used a ziploc freezer bag for stuff I didn't want to get wet.

Is there really such a thing as a screw being too long? :p

Yeah, I probably should have bought the R. Hopping curbs on cast wheels is kinda dicey.

Next up: Animal statue or statue of local hero. Local hero Secretariat, just in time for the 150th Run for the Roses on Saturday. Bonus points for hopping the median onto the roundabout for a better picture:

Snag....in the shade.

Sorry, too little too late, but I can confirm the R80's work fine on the S10 without any additional racks, guards, etc. https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/show-us-your-panniers.2767/post-525716

It's referred to as the "Super Tenere Tail Bag" on the Storm site's gallery page, drop them an email and see what they say?

I could be wrong but as I understand it, when it gets "flooded", the cylinder walls get washed down with fuel which flushes the oil film away and causes a large loss in compression (temporarily) resulting in even more woe when trying to get it started.

Dumb question but I have to ask: Is it plugged in? And plugged in firmly?

So, you believe a woman when she says "size doesn't matter"? :D (just kidding, Jocelin is an amazing talent) If you're into the you tube thing, take a look at this young lady's channel. I've followed her journey from being a complete noob, afraid to leave the confines of a parking lot, to...

Try leaving the pillion at home on the next ride?

Get the S10!

Well, when your ripping across the High Plains in WY, and the speed limit is 80, and the semis are doing 85-90, you gotta kinda shit or get off the pot simply as a matter of self-preservation. I do agree with your sentiment though, and those speeds certainly weren't comfortable, but.....when in...

Man....I wish I didn't have acrophobia and mild vertigo (twice as much fun on a motorcycle, as you can imagine), these mountain trips look amazing. :(

We had a member go Triumph, didn't keep it very long. Story here: https://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/triumph-tiger-1200-gen4-2022.33427/

I'm sorry....did you say something? :p
