    How to raise the fuel tank?

    I need to raise my petrol tank to remove some sat nav wires which I think could be cable ties to the frame. The videos I've found on YouTube seem to contradict each other. Could anyone provide me with an idiots guide on how to pop the tanks up? Many Thanks Mike

    Simple Electrical Question (I Think!) from an Electrical Dumbo

    I have just changed my Super Tenere for a later model. As part of the deal they transferred all my farkles from my old bike to new. At present I have Givi S310 halogen spots mounted on my crash bars which were transferred to the new bike. They have now been on 4 Super Tens and about 80k...

    My New S10

    As I said in a previous thread, it was with a heavy heart that I let my trusty Super Ten go as a trade in. She was a 2015 and had covered a reliable 47000m I'd been thinking about it for a while and the deciding factors were;- 1 She needed about £1000 spending on her.........service inc...

    Coil Stick

    My bike is due it's 48k service At the last service I was warned by the mechanic that one stick was starting to corrode and it might be better to replace it. The price of a 'genuine Yamaha part' is £170 but I'm certain that they are not produced by Yamaha. Does anyone know who actually...

    Can anyone recommend a good independent mechanic in NW England?

    When my S10 was under manufacturer's warranty I used local Yamaha dealers for a service and to say that I was not impressed by the standard of workmanship is a vast understatement! In 2017 I was recommended an independent mechanic near Bolton and he was absolutely fantastic. Fastidious in his...

    UK Dealer Response to Mileage Rant

    I think this really highlights a problem in the UK market. My S10 was first registered in 2015 and today I booked it in for the front brake switch to be replaced when the current Corvid lockdown ends. I was asked for my mileage and replied '46' 'Is that 46 thousand?' he replied When I...

    What is a high mileage for a Super Tenere?

    Had my bike for almost 5 years now and it's showing just under 42000m. I really like the bike and it has never let me down and is well maintained but I'm wondering if it's worth trading to a 1 year old bike with less than 6k under its wheels that I've seen. I know that they are a lot of...
