    2012 S10 wont start

    Thank you for your detailed response. You are right d:62 says 4, but there are only 3 listed under d:61, could that be indicative of something? I tried giving throttle for the TPS items and they fell into a normal range. - I have dropped the bike a few times, I off-road my S10 probably more...

    could this be a bad spark plug issue? its been about the 12k recommended miles to be changed. I will be taking a look at them this weekend, this will be my first time messing with spark plugs. Do those coin sized gauges work ok to gap them?

    looking more into that diagnosis mode, I think i was worried about the d:13, d:14 and d:15 but I was doing it wrong. I was tryin the throttle to get the full range. When I turn the key on I get a check engine light, and a code 14,and it also looks like d:61 is indicating something wrong with...

    I don't believe so, I had a about a quarter tank when this happened, and then I even topped off with a gallon of fresh gas

    2012 S10 wont start

    Hello, I have a 2012 gen 1 S10, and it left me stranded the other day. I went to dinner the bike started up just fine, 10-15 min drive to dinner. I spent a about 1.5 hours at dinner and came out to go home and the bike started then died immediately and would not start again. Here are the...

    Not sure if this is the correct drain plug (final drive)

    ok well I tried it, and the magnet was definitely way to long, so i trimmed it down and it seems to be a perfect fit now. Also if anyone has never cut a magnet before, I was absolutely shocked with how soft the metal is in a magnet! Literally 2 passes with a dull hacksaw blade cut it right in...

    Not sure if this is the correct drain plug (final drive)

    I had to order a new drain plug for my final drive and I think they sent me the wrong one, but I want to be sure. The part number I ordered was the one ending in 14004, but as you can see someone just slapped that on a post note and really sent me 14149. The only difference I can see is the...

    Everything feels and sounds normal so far, so nothing that I can perceive

    I screwed up, empty final drive!

    So I majorly screwed up, I am hoping I didn't do any major damage. I changed the fluid in my final drive a couple days ago, and I am assuming I did not torque down the drain bolt fully. Yesterday I went on about a 50 mile ride and at some point the drain bolt came completely out and drained all...

    How old are you Super Ten rider?

    I'm 34, I really don't get the older stigma with ADV bikes. I understand from a comfort and touring aspect that makes a bit of sense. But the off-road exploration part I feel like should appeal to more younger people.

    How do I know if I need a valve adjustment

    This will probably be something I take to a mechanic to do, I am comfortable doing things like oil changes, breaks, final drive fluid etc. I don't know if this is a project I want to tackle myself, I have watched a couple videos and its seems like a bit of a bear to do unsupervised haha. I am...
