My 2011 S10 has 45,000 km's on it and cold starts are becoming progressively noisy. I'm just about to do the valve clearances and will replace the CCT while I'm at it. Is the conventional wisdom regarding CCT replacement leaning towards a manual CCT over improved OEM CCT? OEM CCT in Oz is...

Just changed the rear brake pads and can't find my thumb drive with my copy of the S10 workshop manual on it. :mad: Could some kind person please tell what the torque specs are for the two pins with 12 mm bolt heads which hold the brake caliper body in place. Thanks

Has anyone had success with either Penske fork pistons or Traxxion/Ohlins fork cartridge kits with upgrading fork performance on their 2012 S10? I've replaced the OEM fork springs with straight rate springs and had the valving/shim stack modified on the compression circuit by a suspension tech...

Has anyone had their gen 1 ECU reflashed in Oz? Who does them, what did it cost and what do you think of the outcome? Cheers, Tony

It's on here somewhere but having troubles finding it.......could someone be good enough to tell me what the OEM front and rear suspension spring rates are on the 2014 ES? Thanks in advance, Tony

Has anyone lashed out on a Sargent seat or other brand of aftermarket seat for their S10? I'm currently using the Seat Concepts mod which isn't too bad for a couple of hours but looking for something more substantial. Would be keen to actually sit on the next seat before I buy if someone is...

It looks like I can get my hands on a discounted MRA Vario Touring Screen but it comes in smoke gray tint only. All of my bikes in the past have had clear screens which I mainly look over including the S10. Just wondering how dark the tint is and does it cut down much visibility immediately in...

I've been wiring up a set of cree LED lights and I've been using the active wire from the the three pin plug which is used to power the OEM additional driving lights. I think the wire is brown and is only active when the ignition is turned on. I've used an earth from the battery terminal. It...

Could someone help with providing the torque specifications for the pinch bolts on the upper and lower triple clamps on a 2012 S10. Thanks in advance, Tony

Just gauging a response from riders that are around the Sydney/Central West NSW area that might be interested in meeting up somewhere in the Blue Mountains for a coffee etc with a view to getting some future rides going. Cheers, Tony

I purchased my used 2011 S10 with 5000 km's on the clock. Just for peace of mind I decided to take it to my local Yamaha dealer for a look over and to make sure everything was in order. While it was there I asked them to drop the engine and final drive oil out of it and replace the oil filter...

Has anyone had their seat customised in Oz or bought an aftermarket seat with good results? Looking at an upgrade and curious to see what other S10 owners have done and their experiences. Cheers, Tony

Has anyone had any experience with using the MRA X-Creen on Yamaha's tall touring screen? I'm currently using the tall screen with a madstad bracket and Cee Bailey wind deflectors. This combo worked ok until I had the seat customized which has raised the seat height. I now have some annoying...

Yep, I've been reading through all the threads regarding the 2" Rox risers and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I want the 2" risers to bring the handlebars closer to the rider and around 10 - 15 mm above horizontal. I plan on shortening the OEM h/bars by about 30 mm. Would...

I've been looking at Protaper's Contour Raptor handlebar to replace the OEM set-up. I'm not looking for rise so much but just want to be able to rotate the bar toward me and maintain the grips in a level/flat position. As many would be aware this can't be done with the OEM bars as the bend...

G'day All, Been riding road bikes for the past 25 years. Curently ride an FJR1300 and have decided it's time for a change. Too many good dirt roads out there that need to be explored!!! The S10 is definitely on my radar but I might have to play the waiting game to have a look at these other...
