Sorted it. Copious amounts of PB Blaster and some mole grips and it moved. The new one was a very tight fit despite grease to try to ease it in. Need to use a rubber mallet to seat it.

My shaft drive breather is all corroded after a couple of years of UK salt. I bought a new one from a dealer but I can't get the old one out. Is it just a push fit, there isn't a thread on it. Perhaps mines corroded so much and now stuck to the housing?

Re: Any UK based Tenere Riders fancy getting together? Whats the fuse mod?

Just thought I'd comment on this as it's been going through my mind. I hate the OEM luggage. The locks are plastic for christ's sake! What on earth are Yamaha doing. It feels like you could stick a screw driver in and open the locks. They don't feel great quality at all. Even the dealer said...

Thanks for all the replies. I've decided to go with the SW-Motech crossbar to replicate what I had on the GS, then it separates the issue of the adjustable screen and I can look at the best solution for that.

Has anyone got one of the Bagster tank covers for the S10? I had one on my GS and really rated it to protect that tank. So anyone got one? How do you rate it? Was told that Bagster have released a white version which all being well I'll order in a few weeks.

Yeh I think I was looking for something centrally mounted, but I'll have a play tomorrow.

I'm after some advice..... I have a Zumo 660 that I had set-up brilliantly on my 1150GS. Having bought the Super Ten I'm scratching my head looking for a mounting point as the handlebars are too thick. I started to look at the Touratech Windscreen adjuster with the GPS mounting bar, as I was...

Re: Any UK based Tenere Riders fancy getting together? <waves> from Weston super Mare and happy to meet up with anyone for a rideout... need to run the bike in... only done about 80 miles so far!

Already done it. ;D

Thank you for the welcomes everyone. Cosmic - indeed it is white. ::015::

Ahhh ok I get it now... so someone that bought a bike without luggage should have been provided with 3 locks regardless ready in case they subsequently bought luggage. Yeh one of the problems is that I'm the UK but I may stick an advert on just in case before I eBay them.

Great thanks so I need to factor in to the selling price that someone will need to buy new locks then.

Sorry confused by your reply. My luggage is obviously keyed to my key. If I sell to someone who doesn't have the luggage what would they need to do to be able to use it? Buy new locks or is there a way to rekey it? Looking in the luggage manuals and installation it doesn't mention it at all. So...

Just a quick post to say Hi from Bristol in the UK. Picked up my new S10 today from the dealers. It now has 20 miles on the clock. :D Just sorting out what accessories to buy for it now. If anyone wants to buy the Factory Luggage in the UK then let me know!
