    Moving on

    After seven years of owning the S10 I made the leap into the GS word. I can't say enough about the great experiences and unbelievable reliability of the Yamaha. I was waiting for a few years to move up to a newer S10 model with some new technologies such as lean ABS and others, but the wait is...

    Battery change with a Altrider engine guard

    I am in the process of changing the battery....somehow I was able to get the old one out, but can't seem to fit the new one in the space between the engine guard and the bike. Any ideas of how to do this without taking off the guards. I recall that their initial installation was somewhat...

    Parasitic current draw spec.

    I connected a Voltmeter in series to the negative terminal while the bike was off. The current draw reading was 0.6-0.7 mA. I have a GPS and a radar detector connected through a fuse box, but the 0.6-0.7 mA draw persisted while they were connected or disconnected from the battery. Does anyone...

    MSC - Motorcycle Stability Control

    I was talking the other day to a KTM owner about the MSC system on his bike (https://youtu.be/xl1FlPz-TcQ). He absolutely loves it to the point that he will not consider a bike that doesn't have this safety feature. Anyone knows if MSC is in the cards for future S10 ?

    Found out during a my last oil change that the M12X1.5 bolt has stripped the oil pan threads :( I was looking to either drill and tap to the next size bolt (M14X1.5) or use something like the Time-Sert kit to keep the original bolt size...

    Looking to install one of the Givi's Monolock top cases (E30 or alike). Would the universal plate that comes with the case attach to the stock carrier plate or a different one is required ?

    Tapping the high beam and horn lines for Clearwater Darla LEDs

    Looking to install the Darla LEDs from Clearwater. They will turn on at full output whenever the high beam or horn are engaged. Where would be a good place to tap into the high beam and horn lines? Pictures would be great. Thanks.

Clearwater only offer matching brackets that would fit on the wheel fender and a crash bar. Pointers to source such brackets for the upper part of the forks are appreciated. ----...

    Buffeting – problem solved

    Went for a ride today with my QC20i BOSE echo cancelation earbuds. Had them connected to the MP3 player integrated with the NUVI GPS. No ear-plugs, helmet or windshield I have tried so far can even come close to suppressing the buffeting to practically nothing as these earbuds did. They fit...

    Radar detector

    The riding season is in its infancy, and I already had several close encounters with radar guns (no points though !!!) Came across the ADAPTIV TECHNOLOGIES TPX which seems to have been designed from the ground up for motorcycles (water, vibration and shock resistant)...

    Simple math?

    I was 22 miles into the blinking ‘E’. Stopped for gas, was able to put 4.7 Gallons to top it off. At 44 MPG (my overall average) and a full tank capacity of 6.0 Gallons, that put the S10 at the 80 miles range on the reserve. 22 + (1.3*44) = 79.2 miles Looking for other data points to confirm...

    Electric work

    Looking for the electric schematics and related part list description for the S10. Alternatively, a maintenance manuel would probably have it as well. Thanks in advance. ---- 12 Yamaha Super Tenere 04 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 84 Suzuki DR500 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Yet another 2'' Roxy rocking risers thread

    Got my bike a full three weeks ago. After the second ride of about two hours, I felt some tightness at my upper back. Going through many of the existing threads, I am ready to give the 2'' Roxy risers a shot. If that doesn't cut it, will consider replacing the handlebars as well. There seem to...

    Homecoming ride

    After excruciating 3 weeks, I finally rode the bike home (thanks to the early spring signs in NJ). The dealer was kind enough to store the bike in the meantime. Wanted to thank everyone on this forum for the quality threads and insight regarding the different aspects of the S10. Surely helped...
