I have a 2014 S10 with only 1800 miles on it. Health reason have kept me off the bike but I am now ready to attempt riding again. The bike has basically sat for 2+ years in a pole barn. The wife and I retired and moved to a new home with an actual garage. While moving I was driving the bike...
Last time it saw a dealer was the middle of December when I took delivery in 4" of snow in West Virginia.
I strike it up to poor build quality. I was able to tighten 3 hose clamps, all three hose clamps took a different size socket, which is a little puzzling.
Anyhow it appears to be fixed...
I found the lower radiator hose and the water pump hose connections extremely loose (2 to 4 full turns on the clamp before getting snug.)
Couldn't access the upper hose clamps..........but the fluid was not leaking from that location.
Thanks for the assistance fellows : ;)
Yep, pale green and smelled like anti-freeze................the low fuel light is flashing so it isn't gas coming from the two vent tubes that hang through the bash plate.
I started the bike last night to get it out of the garage, moved it 100 feet up the driveway so I could back my truck to the garage door and unload a new to me radial arm saw.
I backed the bike back into the garage without starting it (all down hill) and put it on the side stand.
This morning...
I just did my first service at 489 miles, every spoke was lose except for on spoke on the front wheel.
I checked them with a brand new torque wrench that from Snap on, it has inch pounds, newton pounds and foot pounds.
I was at a Horizons Unlimited event in Virginia over the weekend.
A Yamaha dealer from Maryland told everyone at the event with a 2014 - 15 S-10 that he just received a factory recall on a gear in the transmission that was failing.
Anyone else heard about this...........or was he blowing smoke...
Wow, I ask a question about a switched 12 volt source and now we are talking about an EB wiring harness and fuse system which is proposed to be mounted under the side cover of the bike.
To access the EB fuse block you need tools to remove the side cover. By locating the fuse block under the...
Any red wire...................where? Down by the battery ? I'm just looking to trigger the relay.
I already have split fuse box AP-2, running the GPS hot all the time, everything else (heated gear, driving lights, etc.) I want to die when the ignition switch is turned off.
BTW, what is the...
I purchased a S-10 back in December, the weather here in VA got warm this weekend so I decided to start installing Farkles.
Got all of my Alt Rider crap mounted......that was a PITA :-[
This week after work I'll be mounting my Jeese bags and top case, hopefully that will go easier than the...
I just purchased a standard model for $11,856.40 OTD, $556.40 was taxes/tags and other BS fees for the state of VA. I bought the bike in Romney, WV.
They had a ES on the floor for $12,350.00 plus taxes and tags.
