Afternoon ‍♂️, was the CCT a Yamaha part or Aftermarket?? I'm considering a Aftermarket manual CCT for reliability reasons. Thoughts ?

Thanks for your reply. The parts gurus at the stealership say it's no longer available. :( Doesn't surprise me,, last tube I purchased was several years ago and haven't seen it since. Said to use Anti Seize... Asked the technician,, same answer... Sooo, yeah.

Will be picking up new skins (705's) mounted and Balanced for the shop today.:D What are/is everyone using for Spline lube?? Recommendations please. Thanks,, G.

So I gutted the forks today in prep for new OEM Seals/dust covers tomorrow. Cleaned, flushed and dry. Everything looks beautiful inside. Sadly this is the third pair of seals going in. First change was under warranty at 3300 miles just after I purchased. Now again at 11.6k. I could find...

Thank you saki ::26::.

Re: Generation 2 clutch basket So, , what's the dealy-o? Sold, available? What's happening with the item?

Today I brought home the "Blue Mule" from dealer(warranty)service. Yup, Fork seals. Right side started seeping around 45/ 4800mi. No issue with the left. I know its dry in the desert sw, , but this seems a little premature. :-\

Brought the "blue mule" home from dealer(warranty) service. Fork seals :-X. 012 model w/5400mi. This seems a little premature.

::012::yeah. Turned 59 on the 30 Mar. Glad to still be here. Last year Mar.1st started cancer treatments. Absolutely terrible ordeal. Currently clean as a whistle ::015::. I love the S10. Yeah it's heavy but that makes for a very stable machine. I'm 6'3" and thankfully gaining weight...

Afternoon, , and thanks Moespeeds. Did your switch mod today. It was super easy, inexpensive and I like fiddling with my stuff. Followed your instructions and it works great. Great info/ mod::012::. PaydayGabe in Vegas :P

:P I've been researching the aftermarket exhaust options for the S10. Many very nice examples but way outside my budget. So doing the search, I found across the pond blackwidowexhaust.com.uk . These folks have a strong reputation on the island . Great quality and great reviews . So I...

Re: 2012 Tenere top box The box is SOLD ! And shipped.

I think I'd have to disagree. I made the adjustment on the cable sleeve to the max. Still a bunch of slop on the throttle tube. A good 1/4" at this point. I've had 1 lurchy throttle event since I've had the bike (yesterday) and only during the morning ride th the VA hospital. On the return...

Gave the bike a wash and Quick detail. It's a bitch not having a garage. Especially in a windy location (Las Vegas). One really good blow and the bike looks like crap. Damn Dusty desert winds !

Re: 2012 Tenere top box Morning again, Received the Givi monokey rack yesterday. Mounted up and all is good with the world. The Yamaha box is standing by for the new owner. All mounts and hardware is included of course. I'm knocking off $50. See original post. Thanks, G.
