Half way through this horrible job. I somehow thought that Yamaha would have made the job a little easier on the Gen 2 bikes. But alas no such luck. The valve cover is still a bitch and the CCT is worse than before. I knew that at 42000 kms/25000 miles the exhaust valves would be tight as they...

Anybody done one yet? I have the capacities for Left and Right tubes which are different. 17.4oz and 17.8oz. Don't remember which is which. Not sure how to get those electrical connectors off the top of the forks.

Have replaced the H7s on my 2014 once so far. See I have another one of the two that is out again. Replaced again last night. Anyone notice the bulbs don't seem to fit in their receptacles very well on the S10, or is it just me?

What are you're ideas for cleaning the S10 seat and making it look clean. No luck here. Mine always looks dirty. Thanks

On a short week long trip out BC way and stopped in to a Yamaha Dealer in Vernon. Big mistake. Left with a new 14 ES. Hate the color. Gray primer but the deal was just too good to resist. My old blue 2012 S10 had 58,000km/36,000 miles on it and my local dealer told me to get lost basically...

They just went out for no reason. New bulbs and fuse. Everything else works fine including the park lights. High Beam shield goes up and down, just no power to the headlights. Any ideas??? Thanks.

My rear drive fluid seems to get milky very easily. Went to the car wash once and crossed an 8 inch creek and fluid is milky white indicating water in the FD. This is only after a fluid change 2 weeks ago. Anyone know if the breather cap comes off or whats under there? Its the only place water...

Went to my local Stealer for stock Yamaha front Brake Pads. $70. I can live with that. Hey, he says for one side only. What! No shite. I can buy brake pads for all 4 sides of my Kia for less than that. Went on line. About $120. for a set. Still crazy. I always had good luck with stock brake pads...

Normally only get about 50mpg Imperial but spent the day yesterday riding with one of my slow Cruiser pals and managed 65mpg. Unbelievable as it seems. 210kms on 8.8 liters. He really does ride slow. Spent the whole day waiting, going slower and slower with more waiting. Luckily its only about...

If you ride into water deep enough to go over the silver breather cap on your shaft drive housing, you will turn the diff oil milky right away. Had just changed the diff fluid last week and rode into flood waters about 11/2 ft deep(Over top of the shaft Drive) and thought, maybe I'll just check...

Noticed while in Moab a couple of weeks ago that the fan on my S10 was on alot while jeep trail riding. Temps were mostly over 200F unless I got on the really fast stuff. Also took quite a while to cool down once hot. A pal on his GS800 said his fan didn't come on all. I think the design of the...

Recent Moab trip on the White Rim Trail sees me with a holed bottom crank case cover. Had the SWMotech Skid Plate mounted but after a few hits my Low Oil Lite came on. Luckily I saw it right away and shut her down. My buddies had Liquid Steel and bummed 2 quarts of oil from some Jeep guys and we...

Maybe its just me but I sure find those Gold Forks on the new 2013 S10s FUGLY. Spoils the whole bike. Think I'd be painting them first thing either silver or black. Just saying! ::001::

Anyone installed a Leo Vince Slip On muffler on their S10? I see Revzilla has them on for $335. Their dyno charts don't show below 2500rpm. Not sure if this is just a standard on dyno charts or not. Was wondering with LV if there is any hickups in power/torque on the S10 with this mod? Thanks...

Decided to instal a new OEM air filter and do the throttle body sync today. Holy crap. No less than 10 bolts holding on the air box cover. Don't forget the one in the middle under the rubber plug. Installed the new filter and buttoned her back up. The clear throttle body overflow cap was full of...

If you hop over to the Adventure Rider Forum/Ride Reports/ The making of a Cross Canada Route. There are a group of Canadian Riders plotting a Cross Canada Route called Trans Canada Adventure Trail or TCAT for short. There are 162 pages of info started in 2010 from Ontario by Deadly 99. I...

The cry of the frozen Ki Ki Bird. Ki, Ki, Ki, Christ its cold out here! ::016::

Anyone done it? Have the volumn and measurement but not sure weather the forks have to be dismantled to drain them. Was hoping to just pull the caps off and drain them upside down. Also not sure which weight fork oil to use. Accepting experienced advice. Thanks. ::001::

Bought the ProGrip reflective blue Wheel Striping. Comes with a small applicator. May as well throw that away, its crap. Ended up doing it manually by hand. Turned out nice. Problem is the package says, Enough for both sides of 2 wheels. Maybe if you have 16 inch wheels. Just enough supplied to...

Have heard bad reports on this site about the stock headlites. Well, last nite a pal and I did a night ride out onto the country backroads till midnite and I must say I was impressed with the stockers. They give a wide angle out both sides with plenty of light out front. Felt confident riding...
