I spooned on a new rear tire and installed new rear brake pads. When I test rode the bike, the rear brake pedal goes all the way down and applies little brake force. However, when I pump the pedal two or three times, I can get full brake force and ABS activation. Since I never opened the...

I have this <LINK> tri-fold ramp and it works great for loading my WR250R into the truck. Do you think it would hold my S10? Although it is rated at 1500 pounds, it is an atv ramp. On an atv, that load would be distributed across at least two of the three sections. I'm thinking each section is...

My wife bought me a new Spot, which means she is still tracking me on the bike. ::025:: This Spot has been to Canada three times and never failed me. How about $25 shipped conus.

I lost the rubber plug on my swingarm. They are back ordered until at least February. Here are my concerns and questions. I ride my S10 off-road and the swingarm is regularly submerged. I am sure some dirt and water entered. Do I need to worry about that? Can I just rinse it out with clean...

I saw this S10 at the NYC show today. Although it looks white in the picture, it is off-white or tan. It is almost as nice looking as my white S10. ;D

The thread on this bike is really active on advrider. A twin adv bike that weighs 375 pounds is quite intriguing. Years ago, I purchased a Ninja 250 from a local kid who was mechanically inept. I got it sorted and rode it around for a few months. I was pleasantly surprised at how capable that...

So, I do most of my S10 riding in the sand of NJ's Pine Barrens and the pavement to get there. I have Yamaha's OEM plate because rocks are scarce in my area. However, I am taking a 3-week bucket-list trip to CO, UT and NM this August. I think I might encounter some rocks. Therefore, I am seeking...

According to the seller, this Pingle Shifter Kit is compatible with all years S10. Who wants to be the beta tester? ::017:: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=301906186293&alt=web

Yesterday, after 9000 miles on the OEM tires, I spooned on two knobby tires to try in the sand. I live 25 miles from 1 million acres of state forest land. There are hundreds of miles of dirt roads, but there is also lots of sugar sand. I'm running a Mitas E09 Dakar on the front and Shinko E805...

I purchased a 2013 leftover in February 2015. I've already had the ECU flashed and I plan to do the 2014 clutch basket and either a manual or 2014+ cct. Here is where I need opinions. I own multiple bikes and will probably put less than 10k miles per year on the S10. I have 8,500 miles now...

All gone.

Does anyone have an oem exhaust shield they are not using and would sell? If it is rashed, that is okay. I plan to cut most of it off. Thanks!

I used to own a vintage trials bike. In that circle, Delkevic had a good reputation but the only place to get them was Europe. Well, I just saw this on eBay. The seller is delkevic_us. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=172002195078&alt=web

LINK This is brand new. I purchased it as a winter project last year. Before I had a chance to install it on my Vstrom, I found a deal on a Super Tenere. The Vstrom is gone and I cannot figure out how to get this to work on my S10. If the purchaser promises to post installation instructions for...

Two weeks ago, I attended the FODS rally in WV. I rode there and it rained for half of the nine hours on the road. Next year, I anticipate staying in the campground, but not in a tent. The 500 mile ride to and from this event, especially DC traffic in the pouring rain, tipped the scales for me...

First and hopefully minor issue with the S10. When I turn the bars left to right, I get a click. The bike only has 3700 miles and is still under warranty. I ran it over to the dealer and asked the service manager to take a listen. He described it as a "creeky bearing" and does not think it is a...

I purchased these from another user who never installed them. After installation, I find myself wondering if they would look better in a color. Do you think I should a) paint them, b) bedline them or c) plasti-dip them? If yes to one of these options, is black the most logical choice?

I am sure this information is here and I swear I searched, but I cannot find it. :-[ Given the dimensions on this SITE, what bend is the OEM bars?

I present my immaculately maintained 2012 Vstrom 650 Adventure with 13,799 miles. A new one is $10,049 before taxes and tags. This bike has some very nice comfort and convenience upgrades but no performance mods. The engine and transmission, which are legendary for performance and reliability...

I found this laying under my S10 In the garage. Does anyone recognize this as a part on the bike?
