I think that this is worth knowing.
On a recent tour my S10 developed a bad misfire which turned out to be blocked fuel filters in the petrol tank. Although probably caused by bad fuel in Denmark this might have blocked already contaminated filters.
The bike has always been serviced on time by authorised Yamaha mechanics or a VERY competent independent.
I checked the Yamaha service schedule in the UK handbook and there is no mention of a routine clean. I am now going to include this in every 12k service when the tank has to come off to change the plugs.
