Yes, recall is done, so if this is one of the issues it is a recurrence of the same problem, which is possible. I did not buy the bike new, I have only ever had 2 new motorbikes in my life; a 1999 Ducati Monster and a 2004 Triumph Speed Triple. I found this S10 on the facebook, it was owned by...

Thank you for the encouragement and suggestions. Regarding MotoGP bits being different than S10 bits, I agree of course, my observation is more from an engineering standpoint as Yamaha has managed to find themselves in a considerable hole VS everyone except possibly HRC. Audiowize, the bike is...

I get that this is an 8 year old motorbike, and maybe I am just expecting too much. My 14 year old Electraglide has 76,000 miles and everything works though, I have repaired the stator at 60,000 miles and the compensator at 20, 000 miles and have no thoughts of getting rid of it yet and my 20...

I am surprised by my S10's reliability. I had Anthony reflash the ECU due to the horrible factory throttle response and added a slip on (@10,000 miles), some body protection and lights, otherwise stock, so nothing crazy. First problem was a blown fork seal while riding the MABDR, (@18,000 miles)...

Seems like the opinions on traction control are unanimous! My dirt riding these days is done mostly on a DRZ400s, my days of motocross are over and the YZ's have been sold off, but I have been using the S10 in the mountains west of town here in Gettysburg, Pa. a little. I did the NEBDR last...

I am wondering what your experience has been with the Super Tenere and water crossings. I have never done any on a bike with any sort of rider aids and am wondering if traction control setting 2 is fine, allowing enough wheel spin variance or should trac be turned off entirely for the best trip...

Any other experiences with lightening clutch pull, or how the OTR fix has or has not helped over time? I too find the clutch pull on the S10 to be very heavy, which is completely unhelpful and unneeded on a modern motorbike. I hear some folks trying to convince the community that the clutch pull...

I opted for a flash from Anthony, which I wrote a review about on here. I wanted the "T" mode to be better off road, which for me meant; no abrupt, computer instigated power change at 3,000 RPM, full power available at all RPM's in all gears, consistent and significant engine breaking (like...

I experienced the same issue with MOTOZ Tractionator IT's. I have them on my DRZ400. They are awesome tires, great off road traction in all conditions and decent on road, even in the wet and decent tread life, but due to the cracking around the rear tread blocks I won't be buying them again and...

I did the NEBDR last year with my DRZ and this year will be doing the MABDR in early June on the S10. I currently am running a set of ContiAttack Trails, which I am very happy with, but they are probably 90 road focused. I would like to spoon on some tires for the trip, so riding road from...

Thank you for this. Your experience has encouraged me to remove them and check to see if both are faulty or if it is just one, and to replace with stock parts.

I do all of those things except drag the brake. My friends accuse me of riding too fast, but I accuse them of riding too slow. My friend is a mechanic, working on S10's a good bit and he told me my experience is not uncommon. He is usually a, "stock is better" kind of guy, but he is not...

The stock discs have warped on my S10 after 9,000 miles. I understand that, "your use may vary," but other than heavy weight touring bikes these gave up the quickest. Has anyone found a solid replacement that has provided good performance and life? Thank you.

I also had this feeling, it is so noticeable to me that I was concerned that a rim was bent. These are by far the worst tires I have ever ridden on. They do not last, the rear giving up in 7k and while they are decent off road, I could run a much more aggressive tire which would be better off...

Total agreement on Anthony's impeccable service, now about rideability. I have a 2015 Super Tenere ES, which has the worst fueling (throttle response) of any motorcycle I have ever ridden, not sure what Yamaha was thinking of on this one. The problems have been listed here, so I will just add my...

Hello from Gettysburg, Pa.

I still love my FLHTK but this S10 is an incredible motorbike!

I noticed that! It also is a bear in slippery ruts.
