The first time it happend was when I had my 2015 S10 dyno tested.
Result: TCS warning light came on - shortly followed by the engine trouble warning light.
According the owners manual page 3-28 this is normal in this kind of situation.
When both wheels are spinning normally again and you reach 20 km/h (12 mph) the warning lights go off - and they did.

Second time was when I serviced the bike before winter storage 1½ week ago and had my bike on the center stand put it in gear and let the rear wheel spin for a while.
Both warning lights came on. Because of the weather I didn't feel like taking the bike for a spin to make the lights go off.
Today I was working on the bike in the garage and turned on the ignition. Instead of the normal info in the right hand side display the number 69 was showing and I couldn't access the menu.
According to the Service manual page 8-103 fault code 69 means "Rear brake caliper pressure sensor is defective".
After a quick search I located this thread: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=3364.0
Apparently the warning lights will go off and the error code will clear itself next time I take the bike for a spin - which might not happen until spring :(

Thought I would share in case some of you experience the same issue...

Thanks, haven't had that happen yet but I'm sure I will when I start the winter maintenance.

Answer 1: You will make a burnout (when you stand)
Answer 2: You will fall flat on your face (when you ride)

You are a funny guy Rainer ;)


Had a chance to take the bike for a short spin today.
As expected the warning lights turned off and the error code disappeared ::012::

This was without a doubt the last ride of the season for me :'(
