Snug is what I go with……..

That is what I have done….upgrade an older S10 for a new S10. I bought a low mileage 2022 BMW R1250GS and bought/traded in my 2021 S10 for a new 2023 S10 eight months later. I am selling the BMW this summer after riding it to the national BMWOA rally in Bend, Oregon. The S10 is staying.

Just some FYI on luggage weight. I bought a used 2022 BMW R1250GS that came with the Vario side cases and a GivI Trekker 42 L top box. All three boxes are heavy….very heavy empty. Per Givi’s info, the Trekker weighs 13.29 lbs empty. Mine has the passenger back pad which must add another...

The USA bikes have two keys with black plastic on the head of the key.

I would spray the inside of the lock/ignition cylinder with contact cleaner and clean/polish the key with 0000 steel wool or a scotch brite pad to see if that helps…..it won’t hurt.

It looks like the white 2013 front fender is still available from the parts diagram on Rocky Mountain ATV. $141.00 https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-schematic/4?FirstChoice=YAM&SecondChoice=3051&ThirdChoice=3528&FourthChoice=3542&assemblySchematic=614672

Is it the original key? The bike comes with two OEM keys and I always have two extras cut at the local locksmith.

I would check the valve cover bolts to ensure they are tight/snugged down before replacing the gasket. I left one finger tight several years ago, it leaked, and when re-tightened properly quit leaking.

TenereGuy gave me a set of lightly used OEM tires a couple of months ago and I mounted up the rear tire today…..no rebalancing was needed. Thanks TenereGuy! I’ll wear it out in short time.

My seven month old 2023 S10 turned 8000 miles today……time for an oil/filter change, a clean/lube of the clutch, front/rear brake, and shift levers points. I also gave it a thorough wash and detail.

My two favorite S10 colors…….good deal!

They are the new Shinko 705+3 tires that were just inroduced.:cool:

I would try 0000 steel wool and lacquer thinner first.

Installed? Or just the tires? They are about $450.00 a set uninstalled from American Moto Tire.

Yes….as did the S10 at least once.
