    Cyclops Headlamp LED flickering

    They are the later version. I got them in 2020. Checking a little further, I see the flickering goes away at higher rpm and only comes on at low. Might be normal.

    Cyclops Headlamp LED flickering

    I've had Cyclops headlights on my bike since 2017 and had to replace them once. Cyclops told me it was a heat issue and suggested running them without the plastic caps/covers. I haven't done that -- yet. Awhile back I noticed the right front headlamp flickers on low beam and I'm wondering if...

    Fork Seal Leaking

    After reading the above posts, I made a little tool and cleaned the fork -- then ordered the seal saver. Like you, I haven't had any more problems with seepage, but haven't been off road since. I've got 26,000 on this bike and it's mostly all been asphalt and one up riding w/o gear. Seems like...

    Fork Seal Leaking

    Thanks for the replies! I worked on it this morning and 'may' have gotten it cleaned out. Didn't find any black gunk on my home made tool, just some oil residue. Took it for a ride and didn't notice anything, other than a 'line' around the bottom part of piston arm. Hopefully that's just oil...

    Fork Seal Leaking

    Went for a ride today on some rough Arizona back roads and when I got home I see my Left Front fork seal is leaking. I'm ignorant about suspension, haven't really ever had to deal with it on the bikes I've had. I have a YES warranty that's still valid so I wonder if this is covered by the EW...

    Fork service

    Looks like a fine job. I just noticed I have a leaky seal on my left tube. Now, I'm wondering if my YES warranty will cover it or if it's just normal wear and tear. Bike has 26,000 and forks have never been serviced.

    HARD START

    Yes, I let her cycle through the startup thing. I've been noticing this starting thing for awhile now, but never has she completely refused to start. I attribute it to failing battery, I'm going to do a spark plug/air filter tuneup soon which may help also. She's got 20,000 miles so I might have...

    HARD START

    I just went through hell for the past day and a half. Haven't been riding because of a foot problem and bike has been setting for about 2/3 weeks. Yesterday went to fire her up and the old battery (OEM on 2016) didn't spin her fast enough and she wouldn't start. Charged and still had the same...

    What is the calculated top speed of an S10?

    Best I ever got was 115 then got a death wobble. Might do better if I took the factory panniers off the back, tho.

    Firstgear HT Air Overpants

    These are too small for me, or I would buy them. How come you're selling? I was looking at these and they seemed a good idea, but did read a comment that they make you look like the Michelin Tire guy? GLWS

    Amsoil Metric or V Twin oil?

    Couldn't agree more!

    Front Brake / Brake Light

    I was having a problem with CC light flashing and not activating on my 2016. At times brake light was staying on all the time. Dealer replaced switch and so far no problems. I think there's a problem with front brake switch. Yamaha knows about it and should do a recall, IMO.

    Arizona S10 gathering

    Thanks! Lived in Vegas many years and Death Valley is an awesome place.

    Are there soft bags available for the OEM panniers?

    I'm using a pair I had on my 2012 Victory Vision. They are really nice if you haul something into a hotel room. I'm sure the OEM liners fit better, but the Victory ones work fine for me.

    Oil sight glass weirdness

    Just changed oil in my 2016 and the biggest pain is removing the Givi skid plate. That back right hand bolt is a PIA. I had a KTM 1290 SA that I put BDCW skid plate on and it was much easier for the oil change. To bad they don't make one for the S10. Oil change was simple, 1 gallon of Rotella...
