Yeah those are the parts I ordered. I also changed out the impeller itself, part #2, and would recommend doing the same. There was a good bit of corrosion on the shaft that would likely ruin any new seals you put in. Also a lesson learned. When removing part #8, the seal mechanism, I used a...

Before putting the bike back together last night I checked as many connections as possible, they all seemed to be in good shape. I grabbed every bit of wire harness I could and moved them to see if I could get the idle to dip down, nothing, idled at 1100 rpm the whole time. I have no idea why...

I was searching my VIN on the NHTSA website which said my bike wasn't part of any recall, hence reaching out on the forum. But I just searched my VIN on yamaha and sure enough it is part of the wire harness recall and it has not been completed. I was tinkering around with the bike again and was...

Long time no talk fellow S10 people. I need some help with my bike, I've been having some issues with the engine cutting out. 2012 S10 with 56k miles that occasionally idles very low at stops <900rpms and has died completely when shifting gears. The engine has died completely while up shifting...

I know when I registered an out of state bike in CA the bike had to be inspected against the title. So it isn't enough to just write a milage above 7500 on the title. I definitely didn't tamper with the odometer to increase the milage of a bike I had recently purchased before being aware of...

I use engine ice. But I still have no idea why so much corrosion. That area isn't exposed to coolant. The pitted section of the impeller shaft is between the mechanical seal and oil seal. There was obviously oil in that space from the leak, but I would hope that didn't cause corrosion. I was...

Yeah I wish I took more pictures. Pretty straight forward. My only advice would be use a little bit of heat to get the mechanical seal out. A few short bursts with a blow torch really softened up that plastic seal material making it much easier to get out. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using...

Well here is the offending oil seal. There was a pretty significant amount of crud and corrosion between the mechanical seal and oil seal. Impeller shaft was pretty pitted up as well. All suspect parts have been replaced and there are no leaks. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

The water pump assembly wouldn't be shipped for over a month. Ordered the parts to rebuild, hopefully be here within a week. The struggle of living in Hawaii. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Well that wasn't the leak. Good thing I already ordered the wrong part. It is in fact leaking from the water pump. It appears from the part diagrams that if I order an entire "water pump assembly" it will solve this leak. Can any one confirm this. Or do I need to order another o-ring or gasket...

Pretty sure I tracked the leak down. Oil element cover. I am assuming all I need is a new gasket and to replace it. Is there any other parts I need for this job? Seems pretty straight forward. Kinda surprising how quick this leak sprang up and how much it leaks. I ride the bike every day, no...

Got home today, noticed my bike was leaking oil. Took the skid plate off and it isn't very clear to me where the oil is leaking from. There is a significant amount of on the bottom of the engine the furthest point forward that has oil is possibly the drain hose coming out of the water pump...

2012 with 42,000 miles bike has always started and runs perfect. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

It is the rainy season here in Hawaii right now, which apparently means the tunnel on the highway is the most slippery place on Earth. I was going along at about 65, gave some throttle input to compensate for the uphill. I felt the back end break loose and saw the traction control light flash...

Did my usual commute to and from work. But today I hit 40k Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I never understood the heat preventing people from wearing helmets. I commuted daily in Florida year round and now in Hawaii. Pretty hard for me to think of more hot and humid places in America. Still I wore all the gear all the time. AVGeek I was at LAC+USC. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus...

I recently got an amazing opportunity to work in the Los Angeles County ER for 3 weeks. There were a pretty solid amount of trauma patients, but one thing stood out a lot of motorcycle crashes. There were at least 2 motorcycle crash patients a day. Taking care of these patients certainly...

117 traffic. In Hawaii. Not a dry heat. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I'm 5'7" and I ride with the seat in the high position. I am on my tip toes when stopped but never really been an issue. I also feel in the low position it feels a little cramped. Not sure how that is really possible. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

No, the tire only had about 1k of life left in it so it wasn't worth saving to me. The trail wings aren't the exact tire I wanted but they should be fine. They fit my commuter / occasional gravel road riding well enough. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
