I was the rider on the red Tenere, though from Australia and not Ireland. I purchased the bike 7 months ago and the previous owner was good enough to store it for me until my arrival. He also was gracious enough to fit the auxiliary tank, GPS's, heated gear and lights that I had sent over prior...

I have recently purchased another 2010 Tenere. My old S10 has the OEM panniers and I am hoping to just be able to swap panniers from one bike to another depending on what bike I am riding. Yamaha Australia has told me it could be at least a 6-8 week back order. I was curious if anyone had an...

That's what I am looking for. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your prompt reply Stefan, that is the sticker/plate that I am looking for but not located where yours is. I have attached the sticker that is located where yours is. I am still looking.

I recently purchased another S10 to replace my aging 2010 model with 325,000km. I am having troubles registering my my bike as I purchased it from another state and it must now be inspected. During the inspection they found the VIN and engine numbers but could not located the compliance plate. I...

Thanks to all the advise and options. All the help was greatly appreciated. After a long talk with my mechanic who has been looking after my S10 since new I have decided to go ahead with the repairs on my CCT and chain He feels that the motor is in still such good shape as is the rest of the...

Thanks for all the advise, suggestions and feedback. It is greatly appreciated. I still have not made up my mind but will contact my local Yamaha dealer soon. After almost 30 visits for oil and filters they know me quite well and I will discuss the matter with them and see if any good will can...

I have had my 2010 Super Tenere from new and have never had any serious issues since I bought the bike. I have done just under 250,000 km (154,000 miles) in the five years I have owned the bike. My S10 has done over 30 IBA rides, the Dalton Hwy, numerous adventures in the Australian outback...

My S10 has just gotten back from my mechanic and is back in good working condition. The fault of the rough acceleration was tight inlet valves. The work carried out was change of plugs, adjust valve clearance, clean throttle body, test coils, test TBS, test injectors and change 2 shims on inlet #1.

I took my S10 into my usual mechanic today to see if the issue of rough acceleration at low speed could be fixed. So far with a change of plugs and tps worked on the issue has not been resolved. Tomorrow he will be looking at the valves and hopefully will have a solution to the problem.

Sorry about the delay in posting an update but I have realized that the problem is beyond my knowledge and have booked my S10 in for professional help. Unfortunately due to working commitments this will not be for another week, as soon as the issue is resolved in I will post the results. The...

My much loved 2010 S10 which has taken me to some great locations through several countries has recently been experiencing some rare mechanical problems. I was hoping someone else may have had the same thing happen to their bike and could point me in the right direction before I seek...

I was hoping some one may have an idea of what is wrong with my front end. I was coming home from a recent ride and noticed that the steering was acting up. Once home and in the garage I found that the forks will not turn fully to the left. It has about half the movement compared to when you...

And welcome from either further south. If you are ever in the Adelaide area send a Pm, I am sure you will some love your new bike.

I did a 32,000 km, 90 day, two ride ride around the Alaska,Canada and the States on my 2010 S10 with OEM panniers, top case and tank bag. I weigh about 210 lbs and my wife is about 145 lb.We also carried camping gear, wet weather gear, basic cooking utensils, tools etc. The bike was over 50...
