I recently have done an oil change and used a K&N filter, I don't think that is the problem, but the following happens: After starting the bike and running a few hundred yards, the oil light comes on and stays on for a few miles, eventually extinguishing. This has never happened before, and at...

I have fitted a Givi bash plate to my 2018 ZE. Because of the proximity of the oil filter to the front part of the bash plate, I somehow ended up with a couple of these filters, as they seem to have been recommended hereabouts. There's one on the bike and this in the photo is the second. My...

Hi all, I hadn't used my S10 for 2 or 3 months and it's been sat in the garage with its old fuel for that time, when I went to start it it wouldn't. I recently changed coils and plugs and a liberal coating of dialectric grease to prevent the dreaded cold damp start situation and it's been fine...

Hi all, I know some of you double up on the FB forum so apologies if you do. I was in High Street Hampton Hill today and saw a white S10 that I've seen hereabouts before. I've seen on it some cool fog lights and wanted to ask about them. Of course, as there's so few of the bikes around London...

Hi all, whilst the info supplied by our cousins across the pond is excellent, I've noted a few links either don't work, or are too expensive to ship to UK etc so I've updated my findings on the Ebay lights I recently purchased from UK. Here's where I got to...

Hi I have some Givi crash bars and thought that some LED lights mounted on them (or preferably just under main lights) would be the way to go as a supplement to main lights if one or both of them go whilst abroad. As I'm planning a trip to India and back, I don't want to be caught in the middle...

Hi, like an idiot I accidentally (I think) overfilled by not RTFM. I saw the drain plug to the rear but didn't see the one at the front that I would've seen if I'd read the sticky. So I put in about 3.3 litres plus a new filter. Luckily, I haven't done any high speed riding, with tacho not going...

Hi all, I bought my Castrol 10-40W Racing oil, and the liquimoly 75-90 for diff and the KN 204-1 filter and ran into a couple of problems-here's hoping someone can help me out. First off, DO NOT buy a K&N 204-1 filter if you run a Givi skid plate (the nut on the front hits the skid plate...

HaHa only in jest, each to their own and all that. I say the above because I just completed a 3750 mile round trip of Spain with a GS'er who I didn't really know before the trip We went Newhaven-Dieppe, crossed France to Pau, entered Spain via Laruns and dropped into Huesca. From there on we...

Hi, I went to my trusty handbook and found in headlight beam alignment it just said to let Yamaha dealer do it. You Tube video I found mentioned a Gen 1 adjustment, is it any different for a Gen 2?

Hi all, about to complete a complete loop of Spain starting and ending at Dieppe in France and don't want to fall foul of the traffic cops in either country regarding carrying bulbs. I have a spare pair of H7 for headlight halogens (perfectly happy with the light they throw out) but what do...

After seeing the video footage of those two youngsters doing the RTW Guiness Record I posted in Lounge (thanks moderator for moving it, my bad), I thought I'd like to mount a camera similarly high up behind the bike to give a better view. Does antone know how to mount such a pole?

They're hoping to be Guinness record holders. I'm planning to go anyone else?

Hi all, I wanted some Givi 33 Trekker cases for the side of the bike to match the top box, but upon offering the brackets, I was stopped at the first hurdle in that I can't even get the bracket to mount on the fixing points, any ideas? TIA

Hi, I did do a search on battery but the entries were so varied I thought I'd post the question. Given that I intend to visit Central Asia, I'm tempted to buy an agm battery as I'm worried about charging in areas they might not know about the lithium. Having said that, it might only be a high...

I have a 2017 Gen2, have ordered the Pyramid plastics fenda benda extension piece and in the instructions it mentions removing the mudguard. Is it necessary to fit the extender? If so, where can I find info on removing mudguard, or is it obviously easy? TIA

I've followed all the great advice given here, thanks guys. I even got some genuine NGK Iridium via japansparkplugs, rather circuitously going to France first (as they refused to ship direct to UK) and am very happy with them (I noticed quicker engine start and smoother take up on acceleration)...

Hi all, I must admit, when I first saw one on an S10, I wasn't convinced. But i like the blacked out look on my S10, despite there being a smidgen of blue still left on the fairings. Do many use the bagster?

I seem to remember there was another chap here in my neck of the woods, I'd minimum like them to ride my S10 to see what they think of it.

Hi all, thanks for suggesting to get original iridium plugs from above site, it's worth the peace of mind, especially as it's not a 2 min operation to change them But when I went to the site, I found there are several grades of iridium. I tried searching here but my forum search skills are...
