I'm currently in the midst of a valve adjustment on my 2012 S10 and I have a few questions I want to confirm in the interest of dotting all my i's and crossing all my t's. First of all, any 9.48 mm shims should work (given that they're the suitable thickness, of course)? For some reason, when I...

The last of the spokes are sold. Thanks for your interest everyone.

I think that's true of most bikes, at least to an extent. This can be a highly subjective matter of course. It may also be a function of my physical stature, but when I get on the Wee after riding the Tenere, it just feels like so much less effort to turn in, even at moderate speeds. And at...

For me, it's a V-Strom 650. 1000% better fit for me and the riding I actually do. I am vertically challenged and I learned the hard way that just because I can reach the ground on a Tenere, doesn't mean the ergonomics work for me at all. And as much as I dream of the long-haul touring life, I...

This is good info! Thanks. If I had it to do over again, I'd do it this way. But I was just a guy who needed a single spoke for his bike and had to buy an entire $100 set to get it, so I was just trying to recover some of the cost and get all these extra spokes out of the way. But I did not...

The last left spoke is spoken for (har har). I have 1 center spoke and 9 right spokes remaining. I would take $10 (plus shipping) for the final 10 if anybody wants them. I'm moving on to another bike and would like to get these out of the way.

Back up for sale with new price!

Does anyone know if this is the same as the Shoei Hornet sold in the US? I don't have a specific need for a dual sport helmet but I do have a long oval head shape. Icon Airmada is the best-fitting helmet I've owned but it's now discontinued and I worry about what I'm going to replace it with...

At 5'6" I might be one of the shortest S10 riders. I don't really want an extra-tall windshield because I still want to look over rather than through it. I'm not expecting total coverage either; I really just want something that doesn't direct the turbulent air right into my forehead. Which this...

Yeah, I've never been happy with this windshield, gets pretty terrible buffeting at highway speeds and makes me feel like a bobblehead doll. I would like to try something else - hence the importance of knowing what I have now so I know what my alternatives are. I'm actually happy to hear it...

About 19" in the center

This is pretty much what I had been starting to think. I just didn't realize the Yamaha brand tall screen was manufactured by National Cycle. Thanks for the information.

Yeah, it's a 2012. Shoulda put that in the original post I suppose!

All the time I've owned this bike, I've thought I had a National Cycle V-Stream windshield because of the "stars and stripes NC" logo at the lower left, but having seen some pictures of the V-Stream I'm starting to think this is something else. Is this possibly the Yamaha tall windshield and...

PM sent regarding windshield.

OldRider beat me to it but yes, I am referring to left and right as seen from the (normal!) riding position astride the motorcycle.

As of right now I have 22 rear spokes and nipples remaining. 4 left, 5 right, and 13 center.

Ah, okay, I apologize. I misconstrued your message.

If your implication is that you think I scammed you, I suggest you reconsider. Think about it - when you post your phone number on a public forum where literally anyone with internet access can see it, literally anyone can contact you and offer to take your money. This is why I don't like to...

I had no idea this was going to be a controversial topic ... anyway I don't want a service manual anymore. Mods please feel free to delete.
