My first gen Altrider rack did the same thing. I reported it with photos to the Aussie distributor and they arranged for a replacement at no charge. The new one I received is a stronger design. But, I adapted the factory Yamaha plastic bracket and bolted the Altrider top plate to it and it's...

Im just about at the end of my first E09 lifespan. E09 Dakar on rear, regular E09 on the front. I put them on about 5,500km ago and I reckon theyve got about 500km left. For the first time in my riding history, it seems the front has worn almost as quick as the rear. Ill be replacing both when...

Mine gets used as a true trail bike, with or without luggage. The only limitations Ive found are ground clearance and the fact it's too heavy and powerful for crazy steep trails.

There's currently 3, soon to be 4, of us in the Canberra region. We do an overnight camp ride once a quarter. Having young families really inhibits our riding. Always happy to meet and greet as long as it involves riding offroad and can be managed with family commitments. Cheers, Glenn

I've got Trax panniers and never had them leak. And I spent 2 days riding in constant rain just after I purchased the bike. I don't get any dust in the either. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I had a bit of an off today whilst climbing a mountain. Short story is, the bike fell fairly abruptly on its left hand side, whilst I fell halfway down the mountain. Inspection of the bike revealed that the SW Motech crash bar protected the radiator and fan. Good news. However, in doing so, it...

There is the headlight harness recall. One of the symptoms of the inadequate harness is blown globes. What year is your S10? It could be one of the affected ones. Mine was and the local Yamaha dealer sorted it out with very little fuss. Cheers mate, Glenn

There's a bloke in Goulburn, NSW who has a brilliant reputation for sorting out OEM bike seats. I'll eventually get him to do mine since I'm only an hour away from there. I reckon the stock seat needs to be firmer, with more support.

I just ran a cable tie around the plug securing it in place. It's worked for a while now and I give my 10 a real hard time in the rough stuff.

I got one for my S10, Steve. Sounds much nicer than the Leo Vince it came with. And it mounted up perfectly to the Arrow headers, no modification needed. Andthe angle of the Staintune Firestorm tip sees exhaust heat exit below the LHS indicator. Very happy with the result for the $95...

Yeah, Id like to know also. I already have an ABS off switch, but f I could rewire it to switch TCS off as well, whilst on the move, that'd make my S10 perfect.

Are you scared of the dark or something :))

Got mine done today at Joes Motorcycles in Canberra. They did a good job. Replaced one of the H7 globes and one of the parking light globes. And they even found my custom high beam trigger wire for my LED light bar and re-fitted it to the new harness. Most impressed with their work. Zero cost to...

Mine will be getting done when I return from holidays ove.seas. The original owner forwarded his letter from Yamaha to me

God bless ya ::012::
