    *SOLD* Key locks for Yamaha bags

    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.

    Adios to a Wonderful S10 and Hello a Xmax

    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...

    Dunlop Mission Trailmax

    I bought a set of Mission Trailmax tires to try something different. Normally I don't use tires oriented for dirt but since I do ride an occasional dirt road I thought why not. My first impressions were a little rough riding but surprisingly quiet. Also, good traction on pavement. Yesterday, I...

    Thoughts and comments wanted. Background: My 2017 non ES with 35k miles which I checked the valves, changed air filter, plugs at 26k has occasionally been hard to start when cold. I live in Texas so this isn’t often. Also, the bike has stalled three times in the almost two years I have owned...

    Experience of a Bias Front Tire

    FYI. I needed a front tire while on a trip in Canada. The only tire available in stock was a Dunlop "Harley Davidson" tire which happened to be biased and not radial. Also, slightly different in size; 100/90-19 versus stock size of 110/80R-19. I determined new tread was better than no tread so I...

    Add a Bumper or Something to Side Crash Guards

    Question? Instead of adding crash bars; has anyone added an additional bumper, extension, pad, hockey puck, etc. to the stock Yamaha guards that stick out under the side panels? I'm a little different in that I don't want to add aftermarket crash bars but think the stock guards need to extend...

    New Member from FJR to 2017 Super Ten

    New member to this forum since I traded my 2011 FJR with 72k miles for a new leftover sand color 2017 Super Ten. I'm the Texas hill country with a lot of rough back country roads so really liking the bike so far. Plus a little less weight is welcomed as last year I almost dropped the FJR a...
