I am the editor of BMW Norcal newsletter. Its a monthly affair so I actually write articles to basically fill up space
This month I wrote an article on Fuel Injectors and the problems I have experienced on two bikes - BMW and my 2017 S10
The newsletter can be found here...
The push rivet 90269-06008-00 is used in several places to hold cowling parts in place. My problem is that I seem to lose or break them every time I remove the part being held. Yamaha price is $3.49 each.
I found these on Amazon that do the job...
I am having trouble finding the part number of the reflector attached to the right hand side front brake caliper. This is a 2017 USA model.
I have gone through the on line parts list but the two front reflectors seem to be missing - or at least I cant find them

I am planning a trip to Alaska in July. I have never been before and have a couple of questions regarding prepping the S10.
I live in the Bay Area (CA) so the total trip length will be around 10000 miles.
I need to find suitable tires that will last the trip. To date I have just used two sets...
Riding home at the weekend and a corner tightened unexpectedly. I cranked it over a bit more and the feeler on the left hand footpeg grounded with sufficient force to kick my boot off the peg. When I got home I saw that the rubber insert escaped at the same time.
I dont want to mess with the...
I have a 2017 ES, and on a recent trip noticed it wasn't running as well after I had filled up with canadian no name gas.
When I got home I had about 10000 miles on it. I have a theory about TBs that - there is really no reason that they should ever be altered. With my previous bike I tried to...
I am a new owner of a 2017 S10 ES. I have had the bike less than 2 months and have 10k miles on it. Looking at the owners manual there is a recommendation for greasing the head bearings every 16k miles. This looks like a lot of work to do every few months. I have never bothered about head...
The left hand side generator cover has been holed by a stone. I have ordered a replacement cover ana a gasket.
Looking at the parts diagram it looks like the cover supports a roller bearing that will need to be swapped over. What temperature is recommended to heat the cover to allow for removal...
Thanks for the responses, particularly Skoron's suggestion of going with Seat Concepts. Never heard of this company before and the prices look responable, and the seats don't look like they have been stolen from a Goldwing.
In a couple of weeks I will be leaving for the Stanley Stomp in ID and...
As you can see from my user name I have been looking at the forum for a few years now. On July 1, I pulled the trigger and bought a new 2017 ES.
I have been riding bikes for 50 years and this is the first new one (and probably my last). My old bike was a 2004 BMW R1150r on which I did 100000...
