Thanks for the response! I am sorry to be so dense but what do you mean with “provided the Garmin harness is fused”? CH

Re: Accessory Outlet on ST So, before I do something stupid.....can I wire the GPS directly to the battery (with the wires that come with the Garmin)? I have a free terminal for the battery tender which I could use or I could just attach it directly to the battery terminals. Any suggestions...

Hello! I am sure this has been asked before....can I use the cig-lighter as the power source for a Garmin Zumo 395 or do I need to wire it into the battery? Thank you for your advice! Chris

Indeed it does but it completely missed the point of the S10. I like Rider Magazine and have subscribed for years but that review was a bunch of crap! 1.) the suspension is not good enough for the road??? 2.) the engine runs a bit "rough"?? 3.) the seat has a contour that causes discomfort...

Yes, you should try going east from Clarksburg to Winchester - that's where the going gets good! Chris

Hi All, It's been quite a while since I posted on the forum but I felt compelled to rave about my ride today from Baltmore to Clarksburg, WV. After some slab I spent most of the day on Route 50, off I 81. What an amazing road! Great twisties, switchbacks and awesome scenery! As good as any road...

Well, that brings up another matter which is that I had to tighten up almost every single bolt on the bike. I think these guys were in a hurry to get the bike out the door that day..... >:(

I just had my S 10 in for service and the mechanic told me that the wires (for external hook up) leading to the battery tender were not hooked up. Obviously, that could have lead to a short with rather dire consequences once I would have connected those wires to a trickle charger for winter...

Very handsome bike!! qui mysterious ote author=camardelle link=topic=17535.msg262883#msg262883 date=1444783176] Finally all done. As of today, only the side bag liners are backordered. I like the bags fine enough but the top case is small. I'll have to figure out a way to secure my Nolan...

Thanks for everybody's input! Chris

Hello again, Just to clarify - I did do my last oil change at 3600 miles...by the book.... ; Chris quote author=Brick link=topic=17710.msg263510#msg263510 date=1445267162] IMHO... one of the main jobs of oil is to carry all the bad stuff away and suspend it until it can be drained. I say get...

Hello, Hoping for collective wisdom.... ::003:: I am just about at 7200 miles now and am due for the next service. Given my upcoming schedule and the dropping temperatures I don't expect to do much more riding before next Spring. My questions are as follows - Is there any harm in letting the...

I like my red '15 S10 better.... quote author=Bryce link=topic=17594.msg262098#msg262098 date=1444153293] The Yellow is sharp, but I'll keep my '14 Blue. Standard ES

I got the Altrider foot enlarger for my 2015 S10 and like it a lot. I especially like that it has raised the bike just enough higher up so that when I bike on a surface that slants downward to the left it makes it a good bit easier to get the bike off the side stand. Chris

Not to mention the heat issue of the XR!!

Couldn't agree more DD! I also have the red 2015 ES with 6000 + miles on it and find it to be the best I have ever owned. It's a blast in the twisties! Chris

Thanks for the interesting feedback. Couldn't agree more with you! Chris

Could you talk a bit about how your new 2015 differs from your previous bike in feel/performance? Just curious..... Ride safe!!!

Wow, good for you! Congrats!!

Oh boy....no, S10 is not a crotch rocket nor is it supposed to be. I just rode 6000 miles, two up and fully loaded and never found the bike wanting in power, even at 12-14k feet. It sounds to me like you simply bought the wrong bike although if you did some research before buying you would have...
