I forgot. Thank you.

Gone. Thanks.

I sold my S10 a while back and today discovered I still have the key locks that came with the bike. I hate throwing stuff in the trash so willing to ship them to someone as long as I get reimbursed for shipping either with a check or PayPal. Let me know. Eddie.

Just want to say thank you to this forum for wonderful guidance, thoughts and friendship. A few days okay I traded in my 2017 tan or sand colored S10 for a 2020 Yamaha XMax. The S10 provided almost 50k outstanding miles but in the end the weight and high CG wore me down. Also, I never have been...

A small status update. I'm now at almost 13k miles on the tires and still have tread so best lasting tires so far. I'm convinced that I would buy these again.

Here is how I trailer mine.

Wisperquiet, yes, the Tracer 9GT is on my radar. I might have already bought one except the color of the matte black with rust orange was a no go... for me. And now that I have delayed, the new 2021 or 2022 model is rather impressive on the spec sheet. Of course, I still need to see one in...

Top Ten, I did such as you described and bike runs fine. However, the stalls were few and far in between. However, like you, I consider the stalling issue behind me.

Darn, I forgot to mention I had a the front brake switch recall completed. The recall came at the right time as the cruise control light would occasionally flash. A restart would resolve the problem but then it would return miles later. I have since ridden almost 300 miles with the replacement...

Well, time is flying by and my S10 is three years old and currently at 42,934 miles. Last year I posted this https://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/second-anniversary.27819/#post-396899 First item I want to mention: stalling. I finally became convinced battery voltage was dropping...

Note: My rain experience may be caused by the lack of rain on Texas roads so when we do get rain the roads are really slick with oils, antifreeze, etc...

Been a long time since I have posted an update. First, I only have approximately 6,700 miles on the tires. The tires were installed February of 2020 and due to Covid and personal medical issues I just haven’t ridden much in 2020. As before, I like these tires on dry dirt roads as they are really...

First was stock tires; okay but didn't last too long. Next was Michelin Anakee 3's; rear howled when new but otherwise really like the tires. Rear lasted approximately 15k but front was a complete shocker with needing replacement before 9k. Weird. Next I tried Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2; similar...

A short update. I'm approximately at 5,000 miles and tires show minimal wear...very minimal. I rode on some New Mexico and Colorado dirt roads (rain and shine) and very pleased. At this point I'm rather pleased. New Mexico and Colorado Ride

Update. I have ridden over a thousand miles since the battery change. Bike has been starting fine and no throttle needed hot or cold (haven't experience much cold). I'm now wondering if the previous battery was marginal for a long time. Regarding stalls, none but they happened so infrequent I...
