    Changing out Spark plugs

    Does anyone use anti-seize on the spark plug threads? I'm guessing the head is aluminum...

    Flat Boring Engine??

    As an owner of both a Blackbird and a S10 I can tell you that there was something seriously wrong with the Blackbird in your group if you could pull it at any speed (on pavement).

    "Unswitching" the dashboard DC port?

    My battery tender maxes out at 2A, so the 10A rated stock circuit will be safe. I'm trying to not run extra wires to the battery if I can help it, so I thought I would ask. With 4 vehicles in my garage, and no time to run them all, it's nice to be able to move the battery tender between them...

    "Unswitching" the dashboard DC port?

    Anyone figured out a way to do this easily yet? I'd like the dash port to be hot all the time so I can use it as a battery tender port (among other things).

    Cooling fan comes on in low 50's and rain?!

    They all do that. I'm not really happy about it, but it seems to be the nature of the beast. A new motor will run hotter than a well broken in motor, so hopefully time and miles will help with the fan cycling.

    Oil Spec (Pennzoil)

    Any reason for me not to use Pennzoil 10-40 for my first oil change? http://www.pennzoil.com/motor-oil/pennzoil-conventional/#Specifications I checked the API donut and it doesn't say 'energy conserving' so I assume it is safe for wet-clutch bikes. Autozone has 5.5 qts jug plus the Bosch 3300...

    Headlight Modulators?

    Had no idea this was such a polarizing topic, but put me solidly in the "must have" group for modulators. I got an email back from Kissan...as expected the high-beam shutter is what is causing the hold up, but they expect to have something for the S10 next month.

    To Y.E.S. or not to Y.E.S. that is the question...

    For <$400 it is cheap peace of mind. I too have found that the presence of an extended factory warranty results in a higher (and quicker) resale.

    Headlight Modulators?

    High beam and only in daylight. These things are life savers.

    Headlight Modulators?

    Anyone find one that fits the ST yet? I love these things, and usually buy the Kissan Pathblazers, but they do not have an application for our bike on their site yet.

    Genuine Yamaha top case black

    Really wish I could get these from a US dealer. I'm going to get raped importing them from Canada, but the black cases look better on the US blue S10 than silver does.
