Just an update; the dealer installed a new Yamaha radiator fan blower assembly which has solved the overheating problem. Also my coolant overflow is now back up to the Low mark on the tank. Seems like the problem is solved but I'll keep an eye on things (engine temp and coolant level) for a...

Thanks for this reassurance, that's my biggest fear is causing damage. Not too worried about the cost involved, insurance will be covering this, too. Thank you to everyone for your replies. I'll just let everything be handled by the dealer, let them give it a(nother) "clean bill of health"...

I may have answered my own question through this thread, if the fan got damaged: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=10229.15 Still concerning is the possible coolant burning smell I got before today's commute, and the extremely low coolant level in overflow tank. Thoughts?

Hey, gang. Back-story below, scroll down for the questions... About a month ago, my 2013 S10 (bought new in Aug 2015) got knocked over on a very windy day while on its centerstand and fork locked under an all-season cover (parachute effect). Bike was upright when I left for work, and on its...

You the man, man! ::003::

PM'd about the seat.

Ok yeah, so that's what I've been doing. Just much more eloquently phrased ::025::

Dumb question (or person!) but how do you do this? I tried today but had to lean forward to get the center stand to drop then quickly drive off and away before the whole thing tipped over. Just seems a little awkward. I was thinking some of you might be leaning backwards to get an...

Looks (and I bet sounds!) amazing! Plenty of function added, and some bonus form to boot, well done! Quick question, though... Did one of those fine gents suggest the arrow headers with the factory muffler left on? Maybe the topic's been beaten to death but I was thinking of doing the same...

Re: '13 FZ1 with Retro kit in FL And a nice price! I might not have an s10 if this was for sale a couple months ago!! ::008:: I love that retro kit, is it a paint scheme or different panels altogether? (Guess I could just google the answer, huh?) ::025::

Better pics later, but tonight I installed my new Parabellum 27" extra tall and tinted windscreen... Soooooooo much better than stock. Heck, it's the perfect windscreen for me in both function (perfect bubble of smooth air, face shield up at 80+mph) and form! (I love the look of a giant...

No action shots here, but a good dozen miles of nice twisty (for the mid Atlantic!) roads which bypass the highway brings you to North Beach, MD. Nice lengthy boardwalk to take in the Chesapeake Bay when you get there, too.

Re: Roadrashed Black OEM Side Case & Brush Guard (Right) You, sir, are the man! Thanks for doing me a solid in keeping with the order of PM's. 8)

Welcome, from another new guy! Sorry, did I read that correctly or was it a typo? "180% tax"?!?! ::019::

Around 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon in Maryland probably 10-20 miles from 695 heading eastbound on I-70, August the 29th; it was a Saturday. I was heading westbound in the cage and spotted the blue S10 (gen 1, I assume?) with some luggage (definitely a tank bag, maybe panniers and a top bag as...
