Was it me? Mike

All I can suggest is that you test ride the S10 again They are big, heavy bikes especially when loaded with luggage. Although the weight disappears when you get going you need to try some low speed manoeuvres. I think you will be OK if you can flat foot. The S10 is certainly lower than the...

I had a '15 plate S10 with electronic suspensions showing 47k miles Although it was immaculate it needed a major service (valve checks etc) and new tyres. It also had an intermittent misfire which I think could have been a coil stick(s) The excellent independent mechanic I've been using for a...

Smallest Givi tanklock tank bag does it for me I think it holds about 5 ltrs and looks bigger in the picture than real life Mike

I came back from Spain on Friday. Filled up in Santander but I knew I was about 80m short of getting home with my tank range Needn't have worried. Most petrol stations were open and filled up near Bristol 9 (pity I had to pay motorway prices though) Got home no problem Mike

Welcome from Lancashire Where abouts in the UK are you? Mike

Late to the party but I think your problem originated from the 'power cutter' A few years ago whilst on tour I had the abs light randomly flashing on and off. Then the bike was difficult to start at a petrol station. It turned out to be a loose connection on the negative battery terminal (my...

Welcome aboard! Mike

Hi today from sunny (today at least) Lancashire

I found out the hard way. The brake pedal was lowered just before Winter set in a few years ago so when I rode the bike in Spring it took a bit of head scratching to work out why the CC wasn't working! Mike

Those are Givi Trekker 46ltr which most people use as a top box When I had Trekkers on my S10 I used 33ltr panniers with a 46ltr as a top box Worked really well although I later changed to Outbacks Mike

Nice bike....quite a find Welcome back Mike
