Hi All, I am selling a 2014 S10 blue with 20,498 miles on it. It is in perfect condition. No scratches, never dropped, never off roaded. It was my work commuter for several years. The tires have a few thousand left on them. Extras include a Shad 46 case that fits 2 full size helmets, the...

I run premium because Yamaha says too, but more importantly there is no knock sensor to retard the timing by computer. With ear plugs and a helmet, you may not hear the pinging...mid grade does work in cooler weather. Hot weather, it is always premium because it burns slower and won't detonate...

I have mesh pants and they are not terrible to ride with on warm days. They vent pretty well while moving and offer more protection than jeans. I will sometimes wear shorts under the mesh pants and that works pretty well too, depending on how far and fast I may be going. But, I would rather...

Hello from Palatine! I regularly commute to Lake Geneva (50 miles) and get high 40's in regular riding, and low 50's on steady cruise around 70. This is one of the best motorcycles I have ever owned. Does everything fairly well. Yamaha did a good of job balancing trade-offs with this engine...

I have enjoyed reading all the comments and the decency that has been displayed here. No matter where one lives, it is importantly to get involved and be a part of the continued evolution to keep the good and work for changing the under performing parts. Don't just sit around and reap someone...

I really enjoy that guys reviews. His sense of humor is like mine and he makes me laugh while making points. I really think he loved the bike the way I do. I turn the key, ride on whatever surface I want, in comfort, reliably, and in a way that gives me confidence. Lack of personality to me is...

I made a square out of 2x4's that the tire can sit on and that keeps the disks off the ground. It is also stable to wrestle the tire off and on. I also throw a bath towel or moving blanket over the 2x4's to prevent scratching. Works great, except for my wife who uses the towel afterwards

That is awesome on the miles! Congrats. Get a '14 or above, as much as you ride cruise is essential once you get one. I love mine.

Welcome from your neighbor in Palatine :)

Purolator and Napa filter design change Happy New Year. I purchased a new Purolator L14610 to change my oil. Have used them for years and the same filter works on my cars too The new ones are red, but more importantly they are no longer concave inside. I installed the filter, and the filter...

Same to you and Happy New Year. My daughter took this pic for a photography class. I think it sums up Christmas perfectly! Have a plan for 2018 and make the most of your next year!

I used a jig saw with a fine metal cutting blade and went slow or it melts back together behind the blade. Then a file and sander works on the edges. Tape Helps especially to draw on.

I am 6'1" and have a 2014. I use the Puig Touring windscreen ($100), and I made my own air wings on the side. I would say the combo is very good, but...it depends what you came from and how quiet you would like it. It is not Goldwing or R100 Rt quiet, but I did not want a large windscreen, so...

I did not curve the Lexan, but rather the aluminum angle is drilled so that the front is higher than the rear. I originally planned to curve them, but after offsetting the holes in the angle, I don't think there is a need now. The red key is actually the key for my Shad trunk. Summer ones...

Hi All, I decided to make my own side air wings. I had some Lexan laying around from another project and some aluminum angle, so I decided to see if I could make a decent product. I am fairly frugal, but really enjoy trying to make my own things whenever possible. I wanted to share this with...

Padded bicycle shorts? Menards has one of those pads for your knees that you kneel on when gardening? Those two together and some duck tape should do it

My wonderful wife is from Kentucky and she had two funny ones. On our first date after having a nice dinner she said "whew, I am as full as a tick on a dogs butt" and then when it came time to pay she said " I'm so poor I can hardly pay attention". We got married a year later, she makes me...

I did exactly what Super08 did. I have ridden with those for three seasons. Fast to put on and take off when weather turns warm. They are cheap too!

Re: TBS question/opinion A check valve for a fish tank will work. It just needs to be adjustable to moderate the large vacuum pulses. Something like these...http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pc-Lees-3-Way-Plastic-Aquarium-Fish-Tank-Aeration-Air-Flow-Control-Valve/192228395008 I purchased mine a long...

Re: Stop Sale Issued | BMW R1200GS I almost bought the GS...anyone can have a recall...but some MFG's take a long time to admit to an issue...now I have an S10 for all the Yamaha reasons.
