Well it took me two tries but the second time it worked. The first time I tried to use the signal directly from the rear wheel sensor for VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) but that didn't work because the type of wheel sensor used in this bike is an MR (magnetoresistive). They are very accurate but...

I hesitated to post this because I have to publicly admit that I screwed up again. :-[ But there are important lessons learned that I feel compelled to pass on in the hope that others may avoid some of the pitfalls if they ever have the misfortune to have to go deep into the motor. I may be...

It is often reported here that riders see much better fuel mileage from their S10 at higher altitudes. Other types of bikes also see this improvement at altitude. I have experienced this myself and the difference can be rather dramatic. Like low to mid 40's at near sea level to mid to upper 50's...

I am sure there are some fine (but some what expensive) tools out there that you can use to sync the Throttle Bodies but I am a cheap SOB so when I fine something that is dirt cheap and works as well and any others I am a happy camper! ::018:: Here is my DIY "tool" for syncing the throttle...

I don't know about you guys but I find the removal and installation of the rear wheel a bit of a pain. The main issue is that on my bike at least, when I get everything loose and the axle out, and then try to remove wheel, the hub wants to slide off of the rubber dampers. The dampers fall out...

Well I have to be one unlucky SOB. :'( It seems like no one, at lease that I have ever seen post, has had to actually adjust valves at the first check. Many even recommend skipping the first check because the valves are almost never far enough out to worry about. So I fully expected to only...

I first posted about this here http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=7820.0 but to quickly summarize, my bike pulls to the left when I take my hands off the bars. I checked the rear wheel alignment and found it was not pointing at the front tire. It was not off a lot but was pointing...

My rear is not straight! ??? No not me, the bike! ::005:: I first found this when looking into why my bike pulls slightly to the left when I take my hands off the bars. Turns out I can offset the pull easily by just putting a few more pounds of gear in the right side case. That makes it track...

I really like to know what the temperature is when I am riding. Not entirely sure why other than it helps me understand how I should dress for different weather conditions on future rides. Maybe I am just weird that way but I expect a lot of others like to know also. So I was very happy to see...

Anyone up for a ride tomorrow?? I was thinking a loop with stops for breakfast or lunch. Starting in the Titusville area then over to the Cape and then up Kennedy Parkway to Oak Hill, then Maytown road through the Turnbull Hammock over to Osteen, then 415 down to 46. Geneva, Chuluota, Ft...

Electrical modifications are a challenge for a lot of owners. So I thought I would post what I came up with just to help provide ideas for others thinking about how to wire up that latest farkle, or several! ::26:: When I picked up my new S10 in August I had been thinking about all the mods and...

Well I like others that have the Sargent seat have found it an improvement but less than perfect. Many have said they think the foam is too firm and there may be something to that. But I believe the main problem is the shape. It is just too flat, at least to fit my big round butt! :)) Well I...

Hi, another new owner here. I love the bike so far and I am having fun adding all the goodies. Here it is as of yesterday. CalSci XL windshield. Jesse 9" Safari bags, Rox 1" up and 1" back risers, Givi E55 top case, and RAM mount for GPS. Givi crash bars and Eastern Beaver Fuse block on the...
