I decided to service my steering bearings yesterday. It was relatively straight forward except for removing and installing stem bearings. Not being a mechanic in the trade, it took me a while to figure out what to do. Although I finally replaced them old bearings, it was quite a task. Are...

I bought 10 sets of the Sixty Front Ceramic Brake Pads and liked them; I found them to have a long life and are benign on the rotor. Unfortunately the vendor does not ship outside the USA. The person who helped me buy them previously was a friend who passed on four years ago. I have the last...

My S10 is the first generation model. I have used only SAE20W50 engine oil. My bike stays out under the car port. I have discovered over the years that every winder when the temperature deep significantly even below zero, I have a hard time starting my bike. Would it be a good idea to change...

I have a curious question: If I were to upgrade the new XT1200Z clutch basket, would it also an advantage to upgrading the pressure plate, for example, with the barnett's pressure plate? I am assuming some have done this modification. Thank you.

I am curious and address this question specifically to the American audience. Does you left hand switch look like this one? Please see attached. The reason I am asking is because I pay three times the price for this device in SA. If it is the same then yours is better priced. I want to buy...

I need help. The problem is my ignition. The key starts the bike very well, and it sits firmly into the lock. However, I suspect that the tumblers inside the lock cylinder may be worn, damaged or the lock cylinder has failed. I can start the bike, take out the key, and the motor will still...

I replaced my rear wheel brake disc after 142,000km. But at this point, the ABS indicated kept coming on especially when I go over a bumpy patch. After replacing the disc the ABS still intermittently coming on and off. I then thought it might be the neck bearings. I had these checked only...

Today, I took out the fuel pump and replaced the filter that that is attached to the pump. I then replaced everything as I think I found it. But the bike refuses to start. It seems very clear that fuel is not following for some reason I do not understand. Sometimes when I hit the ignition, I...

A couple of days ago from previously no issue, I started my 2010 Tenere and the bike behaved as though the battery was dying. I went to a battery dealer who checked and said that my battery was fine and charging. He suspected that there might be an exposed wire that is causing a...

I noticed that my ABS light is on. So I did the first things first: took both wheels off and cleaned the sensors. I also changed the fuse but every time I go over a rough patch on a road the ABS light comes on again. I have temporarily solved the problem by turning the key off and on to...

I am not technically oriented. My turning signal lights went dead both front and rear. I checked the cabling, I checked the fuse; all seem to be fine. But power is not flowing through the cabling. Any ideas what I need to do to solve this problem. Any help will be much appreciated. ::015::

I have auxiliary brake lights, a switch, and the power source is from an Eastern Beaver. I will appreciate if someone does a simple diagram for me to complete the circuit. Much appreciated in advance.

A couple of days ago, I tested the brakes by rotating the rear wheel and applying the front brake. The wheel continued to turn. I applied the rear brake and the wheel stopped. I did this several times. It seems to m that the braking system is no long linked. There is no sign whatsoever to...

I changed my spark plugs and when I switched on the engine after assembling everything, the light for the engine remained on as well as no 22 showed where the mileage is normally displayed. Any idea what this might mean. I did not start the engine. What does this mean? Thank you.

My rear brake is not working properly. I had to pump it, for it to work. We all know that is not good for emergency braking. So I took in to Yamaha in my neighborhood. They said it had to do with . .Cylinder Kit, Master (23P-W0042-50-00). I bought the new parts. Had it installed. But the...

I don't know why. I have checked and don't understand why. What possible reasons can one ascribe to this failure? Note all the other sides are working. They are four years old. Help.

Although I have never finished my story, there is an end to every beginning. A middle class yankee well in his retirement came by one day and fell in love with Scorpion One. He wanted to travel through African and Europe. The truest thing I know is that Scorpion had been a great friend...

Well against all odds I was able to change my clutch and brake fluids yesterday. Having no prior background in this field; makes it even more exciting. My tools: a) Lots of background reading: internet and YouTube. b) Service manual c) Vacuum pump. d) Missus e) Myself f), 3 bottles of...

I called my local mechanic and he said he has never even hard of Generation II flash. He has heard of Generation I but their shop does not do flushes. What does it involve? I thought doing the flush might be more practical than installing a power commander which here is about 1300$ without...

My friend bought S10 2014 model, be also bought the arrow, but having fitted it on the bike and run the dyno, he saw that he was loosing HP. So he removed it. It seems to me that he had it on his pre 2014 model. Well I bought and have installed it on my S10. I don't know the numbers but...
