This hasn't naything to do with sticky plates, it is completely releasing my clutch, but not far enough. I have been riding for approx 45 years. I rode mostly dirt bikes till well into my late 20s , and then bought my first road bike. So I have plenty of experience on riding and working on...

This has nothing to do with the clutch plates sticking, it s a problem with the length of travel that the clutch release mechanism releases. If I push the lever fwd and then take a couple pumps on the lever it will be fine the rest of the time I'm using it. It only does it after sitting for...

No, it releases all the way, but when releasing, it only moves about A 1/4 inch and engages

If my bike sits over night, I always have to pump the lever a few times to get it to release the clutch properly. More than once I Have forgot to pump it up and nearly fell on my ass because the bike lurches fwd before I'm ready. I took it to the dealer and they bled the lines and that didn't...

I only have 6100 miles on my rear tire and it is going to have to be changed this year before I get out on the roads. I really can't believe that is wore out at 6K miles. I am thinking of going to the PR4 and was wondering if that was a good ideal or if not. I was hoping to pick up some...

I have almost 5000 miles on my 2014, and now when I start it up cold the clutch will take hold with barley a 1/4 inch or less release of the handle. Once everything is warmed up it releases and catches just fine. Has anyone else had there bike do this.. When I pull it in it still releases...

I am totally amazed at the price we paid for yamaha panniers that I think are so cheaply made. Almost everything in the locking mechanisms are plastic, and no lube at all. I am use to Yamaha screwing us on prices, but this blows my mind. I just hope the S10 is built better. I sure wish I had...

50 years ago cars were made out of metal too. I think if you go look at the new BMW bikes, there is a whole lot of plastic on them too.

Brain, you lucky guy. Has to be great to live that close to some of the best riding in the country.

The stumble, is that where the bike when coming up to a stop light or stop sign, the motor will just idle down till it quits running. I have had mine do that several times. It is very irratating. I only have around 500 miles on it and thought I would wait untill the 600 mile check up to have...

You have got to be kidding me!!!

I will try and get some pics, not sure if I know how to put them on the forum. But I will try

I pick up my new 2014 ES this morning. Can'wait to straddle it and hit the road. I gave up an FJR which I absolutely loved, but i am sure I will like the S10 even more. I just need the best of both worlds, and have done an extensive amount of research on this bike. I spent most of my life...

I have heard from so many, and I appreciate it. But it looks like I am going to have to go by my heart. On one hand I am getting older, and don't have any ideal how much off road that I will be able to do. I have ridden motorcycles since I was 15, raced flat tracks, half miles, scrambles...

I ordered about 19.00 dollars worth of spare bolts and nuts, including about 4 or 5 rivets. But to ship to me it cost around 21 dollars. So I looked at where they had to ship from, and it was only from Michigan, and I live in central Illinois. I found out that I could go online at the shop...

I keep hearing that, but I don't feel like slowing down just yet. lol

I own a 2013 FJR, and seriously thinking of trading for a Tenere 1200. I think that I might miss the smoothness and power of the fjr. I'm 68 years old and blessed with good health and pretty good shape. I like the ideal of being able to get off the beaten path and ride some dirt roads. I...

I will try that, I'm not sure if they will thou because they only have one. But I will ask

I'm either going to be a newbie, or chicken out and not get the Tenere. I am in the process of trying to figure out if I want to trade for a tenere or keep my fjr. I love the fjr but I think that I would like the tenere better. It has really been working on me as to if I would be sorry after...
