BIKE AND ALL ACCESSORIES SOLD. This bike has been my rock-solid touring companion for the last 3-1/2 yrs but I'm getting ready to move and the herd needs to be cut back. If you're looking for an unmolested, exceptionally-clean, never-crashed, almost bone-stock, one-owner, old-guy-owned...

SOLD. Hi, I'm getting ready to sell my S10 and am selling most of the accessories separately. This is a Yamaha OEM Tank Bag 23P-F41E0-V0. If you're unfamiliar with the breed, it is designed specifically for the S10 and is both a strap/clip mount and mag mount. I've been very happy with both...

Hi, anybody ran into this problem? I'm changing spark plugs on my 2012 for the first time and for three of the four plugs, a 5/8" spark plug socket works fine. But for the right side plug on #1, I can't get the socket to engage the spark plug hex. It acts like something is interfering or...

Item has been SOLD.... Hi, I've got a set of new-in-packaging/never-opened Yamaha OEM S10 brake pads for both front and rear (both calipers front and single caliper rear). I have had them for about a year as spares, but I'm planning on selling the bike next spring and it doesn't appear I'll...

SOLD....Perfect compliment to a Super Tenere! More information on advrider.... http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=962377 Cheers, - Mark

FYI, there is a new comparison review in the April 2013 issue of Cycle World which includes the S10. The theme is a bit eccentric - what bike would you want if the world was going to hell in a handbasket? - but it involved the usual adventure touring stuff with a mix or dirt, pavement, forest...

Hi, I'm in another situation where I have half-worn Battlewings but am getting ready for a long trip where I want to start out on fresh tires to avoid the possibility of a mid-trip tire change. I wonder if there is anyone in the Seattle area who needs tires who might want either/both of the two...

I am getting ready to leave on a 4K trip and while I knew I probably should put new tires on, I decided to do some measurements to confirm. Both my currently-mounted tires are 90-10 types, an OEM Tourance EXP on the front and a Bridgestone Battlewing on the back. Since I knew I'd need new...

For those running sans passenger seat with the luggage rack lowered, have you found an item of luggage that fits well into this space? For camping trips, I'd carry bulky stuff in this space and I certainly could strap a waterproof duffel there, but for hotel trips, I'm thinking that there might...

For those of you who are using the Marc Parnes Visual Alert radar detector gizmo, here's one idea for mounting it to the dash. I built a simple bracket out of thin alum sheet, bent it to create a shelf for the gizmo, painted it black, mounted the gizmo to the bracket using heavy-duty...

I am not fond of the stock alum finish of skid plates, so before installation, I had my SW-Motech one powder-coated black. I had it done by the power coater in their next batch of black (no setup charge) and it ended up being a perfect match with the bracketry and only cost $25. Thought I'd...

Hi, when I pickup my bike I'd like to fit a radar detector for a long tour I plan on taking home. For my FJR, I use an aftermarket mounting plate that bolts to the front brake master cylinder cover. It appears the S10 might use the same master cylinder and would have the same spacing of the...

Anybody know if this board allows you to ignore (e.g., hide so they don't appear) posts from a given user ID? And if so, where the feature is accessed? Thanks, - Mark

I was wondering about whether it was cig-lighter standard or powerlet/BMW. Unfortunate that it is cig-lighter - very few motorcycle-specific accessories these days use this standard and few of us have standardized on it because of the lack of retention problem. Hopefully, the hole size in the...

At the Seattle CW show, Yamaha had two S10's on display and I had a chance to sit on both and examine them in some detail. (Sorry not to have any pictures - I'm nursing a bad shoulder from a bicycle accident this week and even holding a camera up to shoot is painful.) I did form some initial...
