    Clutch slave cylinder issue again 135K (education + photos)

    Did you forget? https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/new-oberon-clutch-slaves.34190/post-514340 Sounds it's only a minor difference in providing a lighter pull. Maybe you'll just have to go for it and let everyone know how it works for you. I never felt like the clutch was dragging...

    2013 Super Tenere - 107,000 mi - $3,000 - SLO, CA

    There is a $5 fee for all plated vehicles. Yes, someone is going to get a sweet deal, especially with all the extras it comes with.

    2013 Super Tenere - 107,000 mi - $3,000 - SLO, CA

    $3,000 is the lowest I've listed it for so far. Just got 2 offers for $1,500. Can't wait, I am moving to Australia next week.

    2013 Super Tenere - 107,000 mi - $3,000 - SLO, CA

    Thought about that storing it, but I don't know how long I will be gone. Could be 2+ years. I am young (28), and I don't know what I will be doing in the future. I had my time with it, and I am ready to move on. I will get a different bike when I am ready. I don't have a place to store it, it's...

    2013 Super Tenere - 107,000 mi - $3,000 - SLO, CA

    First put it up on FB marketplace 2 weeks ago for $7,000, and have been dropping the price since. Then I paid to put it on CL and Cycletrader to get more attention. I think the major problem is the time of year. Even resellers/dealers don't want it.

    Clutch slave cylinder issue again 135K (education + photos)

    Just found out that All Balls now sells a rebuild kit for the S10 clutch slave cylinder. Figured I'd give it a try before replacing the whole assembly. Check it out here https://www.allballsracing.com/18-6035.html Kit comes with the piston seal and engine side push rod seal, but oddly no dust...

    2013 Super Tenere - 107,000 mi - $3,000 - SLO, CA

    Been having trouble trying to sell my S10 since it has such high mileage. Figured I'd let you all know in case anyone is interested or can help. I've been dropping the price and calling around to dealers, and the only offers I've been getting are $500 from salvage companies, and $100 from...

    (Gen 1) Givi Airflow Windshield, Wind Deflectors, 0.85 kg/mm Fork Springs, Caribou Cases + Racks

    After 4 years, and 37,000 miles, it's time for me to part with my 2013 S10. I am selling these parts separately because the bike has 107,000 miles and it's not worth much. Prices include shipping in the US. I'll give a discount for combined shipping if you want more than one item. Givi Airflow...

    Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement

    Just took a closer look at my rear spokes, and it looks like a two of them actually did get slightly bent from doing this. So maybe secure it to more than 4 spokes or go to the rim if you try this method. I wasn't too worried about it though because I have spare spokes on hand.

    Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement

    The seal came out very easy using a nail puller on the screw head. Probably even easier to pull than the wheel side seal since this seal is only held in place around the outside. I could see the spokes deflect quite a bit under the load, but it seemed to work out fine. I'm not recommending this...

    Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement

    I just finished job on my bike with 105,000 mi. I was able to get it done without special tools, without using an impact, and without removing the Bearing Retainer. Here are some pics of how I did it. I clamped the shaft in my vice vertically and hammered downward on the final drive case to...

    THREAD DRIFT/BLOAT - discussion

    Am I the only one that finds reading this forum agonizing? There are so many junk posts that don't add value to threads. I am mostly a reader of the forum because just about any question I have has been answered several times. I end up spending hours sifting through heaps of meaningless content...

    Final Drive Front Seal and O-ring Replacement

    Hey @holligl @eemsreno, couldn't the front seal be replaced without removing the Bearing Retainer? By pulling it out with a screw inserted into face of the seal. I get that removing the Bearing Retainer would give better access to the seal, but is removing it really necessary?

    Three sizes of spokes - how do I know which goes where?

    On my bike (2013), I found that the LONG spoke goes on the RIGHT (rotor side), and the MEDIUM spoke goes on the LEFT. So double check the spoke arrangement on your bike. It would be interesting to know if anyone else's wheel is set up like this. Also, is it more typical for the spokes on one...
