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...

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...

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 find inflating the tires extremely frustrating given the positioning of the valves. The air hoses usually have that long rubber attachment that makes positioning the hose onto the valve very awkward, at least for me. Anybody else have that problem and is there a fix for this? Many thanks! Chris

My 2015 S10 now has about 5500 miles on the odometer. Am I just imagining it or is it possible that T mode has gotten a bit "punchier" as the engine is breaking in? On another note - coming back from a 2 week trip out to CO and during the entire trip I saw not a single S10 being ridden anywhere...

Stopped in at a Yamaha dealer in Hays, KS. He got very excited when he saw my S10 since he had actually never seen one. He told me he has 4 guys ready to write a check and buy one but Yamaha will not let him have any. Dealer said that he called other dealers but they either don't have any either...

Leaving tomorrow for my long anticipated trip to CO. Will do I 70 all the way to Denver and the hitting all the great roads in CO and some in NM. Will take pics and post them as I go along if anybody would like to follow along. This trip has been on my bucket list for years and I am finally...

The bike says my average is 49.5 miles per gallon. If that is accurate that is better than what I got on my Tiger 800. Never did better than 44 miles per gallon on the Triumph. Chris

Hello! I have no trouble getting the bike on the center stand but I was wondering whether any of you have a fool-proof way to get the bike off the center stand. Which side of the bike are you at when doing so, etc.? As always, much obliged! Chris

Here is a pic of my new set-up. I really like the way it looks! Chris

Hello All, I am planning a trip to Colorado in the second half of June and am wondering whether I might still encounter snow in some of the higher altitudes? What about temps? Your input will be very much appreciated! Thanks, Chris

Hello One and All, Do any of you have experience with Givi Trekker panniers as far as there being enough space for a passenger to sit comfortably when the panniers are mounted, especially for the legs? Thanks for the input! Chris

Hello All, Thinking about getting Givi Trekker panniers with the Givi racks. I would like to install the racks myself since the dealer wants to charge me $ 150 to do so. I have never done an install like that before. Can somebody tell me how difficult this is to do and how long it should take...

Finally was able to take the ST for an extended ride and I am very pleased indeed! It's a big/heavy bike but it handles superbly at low speeds and in the curvy stuff. I find the difference in S and T mode quite noticeable and useful depending on the roads ridden. I will have to fiddle with the...

Hello Tenerarians, About to pull the trigger on a set of panniers. The choice of which definitely seems like one of the most agonized over decisions. I am looking at either Bumot or Caribou panniers. Could somebody on this forum confirm whether the Caribou panniers are definitely wider than the...

Hello! I am looking to buy a ratchet head for the t50 torx tool in order to install the Altrider universal joint protector and am wondering whether the size of the ratchet head matters due to tight clearances. Anybody able to help me with this? Thanks!! Chris

Hello fellow Teneranians, I will definitely install the Altrider Universal Joint Guard since I have been reading so much about the stock one snagging pants legs. In order to do so do I need any specific/special tool? Many thanks for your input! Chris

Since I am not a native and am puzzled by the word "farkle".....where does that word originate from? Anybody knows? It's such an odd word. :-\ Thanks, Chris

I am debating whether to get the Caribou panniers or the Holan panniers and one factor which matters to me is the actual combined weight of either set. Does anybody know the numbers? Also, in case of a drop which of the two would care better? Any input would be very much appreciated. Chris

Hello Fellow S10ers, If I understand correctly some aftermarket skid plates do not work with the OEM crash bars. Would any of you good people know what make of crash bar does work with the Yammy crash bars? Thank you! Chris
