Re: Latest addition to my Yamaha Garage

Ya good point. :exclaim: Assumed ABS sensors were on both sides. Sounds like the OP is getting it resolved right. I'd be curious to hear back how much of a difference you notice after the correction.

IMHO, probably less risk flipping it than continuing to ride an improperly mounted tire. It's gotta be loud as hell or ride awkwardly ??? There's little brake work that requires removing the wheel; only a disc swap to my knowledge. If they just changed brake pads or messed with the calipers...

Went from dual-sport, sport bikes, sport touring, cruiser and then to ADV. My last cruiser was a 900# Yam Royal Star Venture. There's nothing like it to eat up hwy miles, but that's ALL it's good for. Puttering around town and commuting was just too much work. So I bought a 650 vStrom to own...

I went through the same. My '12 has about 20K mi. on too and I'm leaving Sat for a 2000 mi. trip to remote areas. A month ago I also took my bike to the Yam shop for a once over. They changed the oil and reported back that my rear pads needed replacing and that's it. They probably lubed a...

Sorry, but it totally is. I'd go back to whatever shop mounted that for you. Never done it, but I imagine you can can also fix it by taking the wheel off, flipping and remounting.

If it was a GS I'd be on my 3rd valve adjustment and at least my 2nd rear drive by now.. ;) My buddy with his Tiger just spent $1500 (CAD$) for a valve adj ... OUCH! PS. it's actually 31,000 KMS or 19K miles... so it IS new!! My Yamaha Venture which was 15yrs old and had 55K MILES on when...

HA! You read my mind!! ::003:: That's the likely scenario, but considering my bike looks like new, rides like new and has only 31K on, it'll be some time before I can justify the upgrade to myself (never mind the missus). The main gains that I know of would be cruise control and electronic...

I've had my 2012 s10 for a year and about 5,000KMS now. I'm leaving on a 3,000KM northern QC trip in 2 weeks and I can't wait. I bought my bike from a widow who's husband was my height and had spent THOUSAND$$$ farkling up his s10 to get it right; Madstad shield and bracket, heated grips, GPS...

Thanks! We're absolutely going to be dipping. We knew of the 381 KM stretch and we'll be packing some gas .... and a siphon hose for when the guy with the GS (and its 35L gas tank) takes a nap >:D

I'm already writing an email to the boys about it. Thanks for the lead!! ::003:: We'd been on the JBR website a million times and completely missed this North Road business. It sounds amazing! One is on a GS and the other a Tiger, so they should be all over this!

"NORTH ROAD"!!!...... firing up the Google machine! Never heard of the "NORTH ROAD". ??? We were planning on riding the James Bay Road to Radisson, QC.

I lived 25yrs in York region before I escaped the GTA screaming... I'd be happy to connect ::014::

Hi everyone, I'm really enjoying my S10. I'm always looking for info about it and fig'd this should be a good source. Been riding for a while and I've owned a few bikes of pretty much every genre before: KLR, Bandit 650, DRZ, VFR, FZ1, Royal Star Venture, 650 V-Strom. I average about 20k...
