This has been a learning curve! I paid £120 EACH for just two - didn't know what the issue was at first as I don't have a garage and didn't fancy stripping the bike down in the snow so went to dealer - that's Yamaha direct pricing. Thanks to you guys I've just ordered 2 from the USA for $80...

Had to replace the front two recently - not cheap! Anyone know if other Yamaha coils will fit eg the R6 coils look the same ( come up as a different part number but you never know...) and there’s plenty of them about Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Most of my contribution got mentioned ( David Thomas) including the " it's not BMW" hope others agree. On the whole a good article but as r1d1 rightly points out, the Beemer v KTM restores normal service. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had two TDM900s before the S10' only bike I've ever repeated! They came after a vfr800 and were a revelation! In any ways the S10 is a "grown up " version of the TDM, unfortunately also shares it's misunderstood status (although part of me feels sort of smug about that as well As!) Sent from...

Despite the tag I'm based in N London, whilst I quite enjoy the scarcity of our bikes I'd love to meet up with fellow S10'ers. Midlands or of course Wales is good. Look forward to hearing from you all. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

;) Ironically many European police forces [ and I've seen these for myself in Italy] are moving to the S10 from another under rated/ slated Yamaha - the TDM900- I had 2 and loved them. uch in common with the S10 especially the ability to engender passion and an almost evangelical following of...

??? Wow bloody hell mate - awesome , enjoy

Que? How do you do that then? Intrigued. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

>:D Bloody stupid - am I! Got into a stupid 'pissing competition with an Audi TT on the way up to NWales and really opened her up- as Iwas fuly laden with panniers and top box this was a bit stupid[ okay it was just stupid]- any way 130mph but then a nasty rear end weave! didn't brake just...

C:-) I live in London so vast majority of my riding is on Tarmac - often two up but I do like to get out and explore back lanes and found out the limitations of the bike (me?) last weekend when doing exactly as you describe - kept going as turning round was too hairy. Bike and I had coped fine...

::009::As Dallara and Mikey have so ably said, my problem is one of attitude. I am a passionate biker and when I meet another biker I love to chew the fat regardless of what they ride. Indeed when I trained with the East London branch of IAM [ Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists] I met many...

;)Nice one - definitely one to add to the emergency stash, especially now 'easy' dispensers are available. Only recently learned [and usubsequently used] that superglue was a US invention developed during Vietnam for emergency wound closure ! So cool.

:oOuch! yes I see what you mean about health insurance - I've had more than my fair share of treatment [free] on the NHS over the last few years with two hip replacements and treatment for throat cancer! You're quite right about average cars now returning better mileage and making bikes look...

:-[ had a blinding weekend as I combined two passions - strapped a fly rod to the S10 and rode to North Wales for the weekend. Living in London means escaping is not always easy and the earliest I could get away was 5:00pm - straight into rush hour congestion. The 8 miles from the city to the...

::014:: Duly noted - as I say no axe to grind, just slightly taken aback

::022:: I really wanted the new beemer [ both GS & R tourer] to be good bikes, purely because I don't like to see anyone getting stiffed and sometimes the GS bashing gets silly. But logging onto Adventurerider forum last week, idly checked out the GS section and then a thread on problems with...

:)) Ah the thread that keeps on giving

:( bloody hell Stutrump! Thought we'd not heard from you for a bit - really sorry to hear about it but glad you're ok. Where were you when Bambi appeared? Amazing how much wildlife there is in / close to London Wish you well - let me know if I can be of help as a fellow S10 Londoner, seriously.

Absolutely right - bikers are bikers first and 'club' of whatever marque second. Other than at my dealer, yet to meet another S10 owner. Bit of ribbing is fine, but let's all keep the faith - as bikers!
