Well - it's time to move on. A new MTS 12 is being prepped for me for next week. The 18 months fun i have had on the S10 has been ace. I have a couple of bits to sell and i thought i'd put them here before ebay. Akrapovic Ti road legal can. £650.00 new - £400.00 posted. Arrow De-cat. £250.00...

Looks seriously sweet. Not sure i'd be brave enough to trade the Ten though..

I need a little advice. Came to fire the bike up after a week off and it'll crank, but won't fire. There is a slight smell of petrol so i'm guessing it's flooded. Before i start tearing it to bits to get to the plugs, i'm going to leave it overnight (on charge). Can anyone tell me if they can...

After seeing what kind of results these guys were getting with the BMW GS, i decided to take the Ten down for a dyno run and some twiddling. The bike has an Arrow De-Cat and an Akrapovic can. The day began with a run with no other mods than above..

Hi all. Just a quick question. I should be receiving my Arrow de-cat kit soon. I have a dyno session booked for the end of the month and i was just wondering how lean the bike runs with the Arrow, an Akrapovic can and no mods to the fuelling. Is it safe to run around without any mods or do i...

Anyone owned / ridden one? I'm toying with the idea of picking up a cheap one as a second bike just for sporty riding. I can't do the race rep thing any more - due to a bad neck and i want something light and revvy as a counterpoint to the S10. Is it a good choice for said task?

Impressive bit of kit. Love the level of adjustability. Using the stock screen and a standard Shoei helmet. Great service from motoraddworks too.

Thought i'd treat the Ten to a new screen. Fancied something in keeping with the "keep it black" theme. You can see from the photo it's wider and taller than stock. Handguards do not foul the new screen. It very black - in fact you can't see through it. Whether this proves to be a negative only...

Just had a heads up from Race engineering. The Hardware is on the way from the US. Shouldn't be too long until they are all set up for the S10. http://www.raceengineering.co.uk/

I sent a letter to Yamaha UK regarding the ecu reflash and they have replied - they state that any unofficial modification may effect the warranty. More or less what i expected. Not to worry though. I still intend to get the reflash done sooner or later.

Got to my favorite local Cafe, looking forward to a nice cup of Tea and a Bacon and egg sarnie only to find i'd left my wallet and phone at home. Doh! Had about a quarter of a tank left and made it home after riding like a granny. I was really looking forward to the sandwich too...

Could be interesting - whether it's a full bike or parts.. http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/will-yamaha-world-crosser-reach-production/18559.html

Just had the sales guy who i bought the ten from on the phone. Here in the UK, for May only, you can get a ten with free luggage, crash bars, fog lights and fairing deflectors. One hell of a good deal. He's going to call the area rep to see if they can get me the deal despite the fact that i...

Installed the Givi rack (SR 371) today. Much neater than the stock item. Feels sturdy. Looks good too.

Anyone know if the aftermarket cans available cause any issues with the stock indicators / tail area? I only ask as Leo Vinci state that their can has an angled baffle, and without it, the exhaust gasses may cause the indicator to melt! Is this just legal BS or does it have any basis in reality?

As i'm a sad polisher i have fitted a Pyramid Plastics fender extender and a mudflap to cut down on the crud thrown up the front of the engine. Extender - http://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2770 Mudflap -...

Only managed a rather pitiful 100 miles today. Saturday traffic in the UK is grim to say the least. Overall impression is that i have made the right choice. I had forgotten just how "useable" this class of bike is. It feels nimble for a large machine, comfort is excellent and the large tank and...

Hi to all board members. Lurked here for a few weeks after finding the link on advrider. Seems a good place to source info and chat. I'm Paul, based in the U.K, had many, many bikes and have had more than a few big trailie style machines. Had a Honda VFR1200 until today as i handed the keys...
