Ah..thanks Rob, I did not know that. I'll edit the post now. Cheers Paul

Hey everyone, this has been sitting in my spare parts box since the bike was purchased. Has about 30km (if that) on it from the dealer to the upgrade specialist in Western Sydney. Cleaning out my garage and someone may just need one. These are $1200+ new, listed for $600 ono and I'll throw in...

Tyre still has a great shape on the front, almost no visible flattening and wear is pretty even across the entire front wheel. This weekend I'm going to play around with triple tree height and tyre pressures....see how that goes!

I've had the upgraded suspension professionally setup for my weight including spring rate, pre-load for sag etc but we didn't go as far as setting up fork angles, triple tree height...and that made a big difference....I'm starting to suspect triple tree height on the forks and tyres. Not ready...

Thanks, that helps. It originally had Pirelli Angle GT's and I don't recall it being so evident then, but maybe the Anakee Adventures have a bigger effect than I thought. I cannot believe the S10 would have such an amazing reputation if this was how they steered. I know the previous owner had...

I thought that too but checked and it was spot on. It's not so much trying to get it back out of the turn but as you come in to the turn, it feels like the geometry continues to force the handle bars into the turn even more so you have to fight it before you get a quarter of the way through...

thanks for the info , do you recall what you did with the forks? Any adjustments to how high they were positioned in the triple tree?

Very few riders here with S10's. Mostly you see 1200 GS BMW's...and they have a unique setup. Often get a "WTF was that" look from riders as they pass by. May have to just play a bit with the rake and trail angle and see if that's help or not.

Hey all! Happy New Year from Australia Wanted riders opinions on this... I'm finding that as I initiate a turn at slower speeds (e.g. going through some tight twisting corners around 20-45kph or even roundabouts) that the steering wants ro continue pulling into the corner and I find myself...

2014 updated model, 92k km and 78k of that was with the previous owner who was always two-up with his wife and luggage. :)

Thanks for that. I just wasn't sure about this factory installed unit. I'm not too far away from doing a valve check so I may replace the chain and the tensioner at the same time and I'll look at the option of a manual CCT then. Thanks for the suggestion!

The guy who owned it before me had it done by a group in Melbourne. Not only did they flash the ECU but as he was touring with his wife around Europe for 5 months, he had the engine mapping done to suit the additonal weight the bike would be carrying through the streets (so more power early) and...

Ok...topic no.2 I've seen videos where people have slowly undone the bolts holding the Auto Chain Tensioner till it clicked and then tightened the bolts back up. This allowed the tensioner to think there was enough slack in the chain to extend out further to take up said slack. What I would like...

Unfortunately I've done/tried all of the suggestions so I guess it's just the way these are. I just don't recall it being quite this free on the Kawasaki I had previously. I know it's a completely different bike but...I'd just like a bit more resistance Maybe I can work something out and post...
