While I enjoyed and often miss the S10, I had to let it go... I am still disappointed that Yamaha did not support its product by not challenging the dealer. I strongly recomend anyone not to buy the YES product

Do you work fgor Yamaha ? It appears to be the case... Sorry for the sarcasam but please read my comments before you make uninformed remarks

My 2012 has the OEM Heated Grips and the controller is no longer working. Let me know if you have one ....

I can tell you that I have always liked to rev up the engine ... Still, at 70 MPH, the engine is around 3.5K... The reasoning implies that this would be a "speeding ticket" festival while riding on US highways should a rider be concerned about the engine staying above 4K. Or, never use 6th gear...

The two pistons were replaced. Two covered by Yamaha ( listed on the invoice ) I also took a picture of the old ones when I picked up the bike today, attached.

Reason given was carbon buildup....

U P D A T E Good Evening, I have my bike back ! She is now at home ! Only rode about 10 miles but it appears, so far, that all is in place. True test will be this weekend when I will take it for a 500-600 mile ride. Couple of areas of clarification that I need to address: - Mileage: Bike...

My argument precisely. The owner's manual does not instruct the need/requirement to use any additive. Wonder what a rider in the middle of Namibia or Peru would do... Bike was design to be a RTW machine where high quality fuel is not always available. My bike has only been in the US + Canada and...

Thank you for your note Called Yamaha Corporate again today and they would not reconsider my case. I asked the representative why they were declining to cover the CCT and was told that the dealer never processed a claim on my behalf. This is disappointing since he told me that YES did not want...

I had a 4500 mile ride out west in April and the bike ran well. I still do not have the bike back and hope to get it this week. I did ask to get the parts when the rapair is complete and was told that since Yahama is paying for the parts they are not authorized to give them to me, they will...

No. OEM filters used

My YES manager was/is here in Atlanta Considering to perhaps and upgrade it to a new ES model...I need to convince myself to justify the "need" to upgrade it. My YES manager was/is located right here in Atlanta

Thank you Eric No noticeable oil consumption. I change it every 5k Miles - oil + filter I tend to enjoy reving the engine up. Like to get it "happy" That is why I was surprised with the comment surrounding lugging. I purchased the bike from its original owner wit 16K mile. Only thing I can...

Not able to answer as to what position the valves froze. Valves did bend. Changed the oil every 5k miles and did not noticed an consumption. On my last long trip I did get an average of 42 mpg

As stated, I initially thought it was CCT. Ultimately failure was related to "carbon buildup" which by the way was ultimately stated by Yamaha's technician at hq after I requested my case to be escalated. Prior to that no clear answer to my questions related as to why the claim was being...
