I've had my Barnett pressure plate (light springs) for about two years on my 2016. It was a big improvement over stock. Highly recommended! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Eville Rich 2016 S10

So, I work in the utility sector and do EV forecasting plus load management as part of that work. The patterns of charging for residential EVs are fairly consistent and there are real active and passive EV load management programs that have been proven out. Unmanaged charging has shown a roughly...

When you think about a tube, you are welcome to come ride mine. I did the Hulkss tune with Power Vision 3 and have been pretty happy with it over this year. You probably don't recall, but I'm in SC Wisconsin, not too far from Fulton. Feel free to come over if riding a tune would be helpful...

Gracias!

I'm going to be removing my rear swingarm to lube things up and check it over later this fall. 36,500 miles on my 2016 S10 (not ES). I'm also going to be replacing the rear shock with aftermarket. I've got the FSM and have gone through the various posts related to swingarm removal. I think I...

I should add - one of the issues ADVMotorrad mentioned is that the S10 requires a fairly high riser section in the top case mount, compared to other motorbikes. The result is more lever-arm against that lower section of the the top case mount. This is for clearance associated with the rear seat...

Posting this so it hopefully helps others. I've got Bumot panniers and a top case (the big one). Installed since spring of 2017 on my 2016 S10. I found some rather significant cracking/tearing of the lower section of the top case mount. For maybe 1 to 2 years I'd been hearing a bit of a...

My local Yammie dealer doesn't have a ton of S10 experience, but I went to them for the recall. The tech did it in their service drive-through with me helping on some the details or working around my own wiring stuff. It was fiddly and a little awkward, but it got done and my CC no longer has...

Welcome! I'm over in South-central WI. A few folks here from northern IL, too. Cheers Eville Rich 2016 S10

I think they both generally fine. As noted above, the S10 will give you reliability and simplicity, the BMW more performance and features at the expense of reliability and simplicity. I've n very experienced the whole "elitism" thing from bmw owners. Seems about like everyone and they geek out...

I'll briefly share my experience. I started riding in 2015. No reason other than that I felt the calling. At the tender age of 44. It didn't hurt that my wife was also into it. We did the safety class. It was tremendously beneficial. Our first bikes were dual sport 250s. I got a WR250R. I...

Rhino USA makes a set that seem pretty good. I have that plus one other brand I can't remember. I only used the Rhino once so far, but did the same thing with the U-Haul trailer. They have a soft loop to protect the various bits. I tend to be OCD about tying down so used four plus regular...

I finally got around to doing the PV3 tuning. I got the tuner late last fall. I dug into the instructions and various software last night and today did the pairing to bike + tuning with the map that Mr. Hulkss provided at the top of this thread. Doing this overwrote the Anthony tune I'd...

Sounds like something a bot would say. But welcome. If a bot rides a S10, I say welcome the bots! Congratulations in the upcoming new S10. Eville Rich 2016 S10

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it was a bolt or thread issue. I think it's either an issue with how the plastics are sitting, or an issue between my ears. I may return to do battle and get the OE bolt to work, but I may just monitor things or see what I can find in a slightly longer...

I threw in the towel on the last OE bolt. Ended up using a M5 20mm bolt on the last one. The last one to give me trouble was the bolt hole closest to the seat - upper right if looking at the cowl from the side. The 20mm was a bit longer than I'd have liked, but with a couple of washers wasn't...

I'll try a screwdriver for back-pressure. My initial problem one was the front bolt, above the lowest bolt. I couldn't find a way to get around to the back side, other than on the black plastic piece - it's a barrier to the actual threaded clip. Weather is getting good and last night's rain...

I feel like the biggest idiot, but I'm having a devil of a time getting the bolts that hold the radiator cowl. These are the 4mm allen head bolts that you can see from the side (plus one at the top). Last fall I needed to remove the cowl and was able to get all but one reinserted and happy...
