    2nd gen clutch basket; best purchase location?

    Dear friends, Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search before asking but I was only able to find threads about benefits and specific part numbers. I keep reading that this is a "300-400 bucks upgrade", but as far as I can see the basket alone costs almost 700 bucks on Stadium Yamaha...

    Lowering the fork legs in the triple clamp; how deep can I go?

    Hi friends My front rider sag is just 45mm and rear about 60mm but still I feel that the bike pushes into corners (ie. I Feel that I am falling into the corner) due to inadequat trail angle. This is normally resolved by raising the front and lowering the rear, but I really don't want to...

    Fork oil viscosity, experiences?

    Hi guys I have already searched on the forum regarding this topic, but I have to ask anyway. I find the general consensus that stock fork oil viscosity is 5W, the Yamaha Fork oil 01 equivalent. Well, my suspension is stiff as hell on that oil. Very, very stiff. When I got the bike, suspension...

    Hyperpro spring review for the S10

    Hi guys I bought a hyperpro spring kit for my XT660 and it turned out beatifully, also added an emulator kit in the front. Because of this, although I had read some bad reviews here, I decided to go with the same kit for the S10. I will leave this here for anyone else contemplating the same...

    Oil consumption, or coincidence? Appreciate your opinions and experiences

    Hi guys I am freaking out a little about what happened recently. I have had some issues with my bike since purchase, seeing as it wasn't that well maintained. That said, I have done a tremendous amount of maintenance and - regardless - I was always under the impression that the engine it self...

    2wheeldynoworks flash + full arrow system with massive perceived performance increase

    Was researching this before I purchased the parts but couldn't really find any reviews, so I hope this short review will be helpful to those who are contemplating having the same work done. I installed Arrow headers (already had an aftermarket can before getting this work done), H&K sports...

    I flashed my own super tenere, it was easy

    Dear friends I wanted to post this briefly, as I think many are on the fence about flashing their bikes due to waiting times. Especially those of you, as I, who are not living near the flashing shops and would have to wait weeks if not months to get your ECU chip back. Well, I read a lot about...

    Oblique bar risers for the S10?

    Dear friends I have a 1st gen S10. I'm 5'9 and although the position on the bike doesn't trobule me per se, it is a little further forward than I'd like. My friend has a 1200GS and it has beautiful bar risers that are oblique towards the rider, thus reducing the distance for the arms. Do we...

    ECU self flash? Off to a rough start

    Dear friends I bought ECU flashing equipment from 2wheeldynoworks and their customized fuel mapping. However, they provided me with - and only seem to offer - 6-pin harnesses to connect the computer to the bike. But the bike's OBD (located under the seat) is a 4-pin?? I know there's another one...

    Aftermarket headers and cans for an XT660r, did I make a mistake?

    Dear friends This isn't super tenere related, but I hope to get some valuable advice from you. I have just paid 900 bucks for a set of massMoto 2-in-1 exhaust system for my XT660r 2013 mod. The doubt, however: I keep reading very mixed reviews from people about the 2in1 systems for this bike...

    Gen 1 CCT and clutch basket, how long does it last?

    Dear friends, My mechanic recommended me to change my CCT back in August, as there was some engine ticking. I've since realized that this ticking is normal on the S10, and changing the CCT did nothing. The bike had 40.000 Km when changed, ie. 26k miles. Unfortunately, it seems that we ordered a...

    ECU Flash with offroading?

    Dear friends, I have been watching a lot of youtube videos (I am a newb, forgive me if the question is stupid) regarding engine power and off-roading. I know that, for example, some of the foremost dualsport "heroes" claim that more than 75hp (ish) will cause more difficulties offroad due to...

    Overheating, empty radiator

    Dear friends, Went for a ride in the jungle with a friend of mine who has a GS1200. Unfortunately, well, for me, it was my bike who broke down and not the GS as the yamaha groups commonly laugh about. In the morning I noticed a strange smell, and fumes coming out from the right side of the...

    Suspension for adv riding; what springs to buy?

    Dear friends, I was hoping to get some recommendations from you regarding what springs (and valves?) to buy to upgrade my suspension, mainly the front suspension. The back suspension hasn't been a problem so far, but the fork swallows all bumps and makes it almost impossible to eg. make a jump...

    Replace S10 coils with those of Suzuki bandit 650, eliminate the corrosion problem?

    Dear friends, I just wanted to share this information, as it has helped me. You may evaluate for yourself whether or not this makes sense or if you want to proceed with this. It is well known that the superten has repetitive problems with coil corrosion and adherent problems, as the radiator...

    Emergency tools

    Dear friends, Wasn't completely sure which subgroup to put this question in, but I want to inquire about emergency tool kits. I have bought various tools as seen in the pictures, also including a 17mm allen key to loosen the fork. And I have bought this tool kit roll. Being a newb, however, I...

    Givi GR709, too close to exhaust?

    Dear friends, Hoping for some qualified feedback as to whether or not the left rack's plastic is too close to the exhaust? And, for that matter, the bag itself. Please see attachments. Thanks so much. This is the product...

    Single throttle body vacuum leak / poor vacuum

    Dear friends, I posted a thread here yesterday https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/airscrew-adjustment-to-fix-off-idle-stumble-and-throttle-body-sync-w-pigtails.1973/page-27 as I failed to sync my TB well, and could only achieve this by opening the leading screw (white) by 2.5 full...
