    Rear brake weirdness, no rear ABS, and ABS light on- 2013 w/70K miles.

    Last fall had the ABS light come on after I used the rear brake alone, shut off bike and restarted which reset it and no more problems. Just dragged the bike out for spring and same thing, with high effort to depress the rear brake pedal at first and ABS light comes on. Front ABS works but as...

    S10 Finally Discontinued?

    I follow the FJR1300 board too and noted a post there about the FJR 2024 model on Yamaha Power Sport's USA website. Took a look over there and noticed just about every current Yamaha bike there in a 2024 edition except our Super Tenere. So this might be "last call", Cycletrader shows a bit over...

    Could we check valves by sound?

    Just wrapping up my 2nd valve check on the S10, and after 8+ hours wrenching I have again found all valves in spec. Same story with my other bike with a similar engine design, a BMW F800S where after a day's work each time I found all valves in spec at 12k, 24k, 48k, and 72k. So we're spending a...

    Another Super Ten Gets Hacked!

    Thanks to a subframe from Claude Stanley, my Super Ten is now hack'd! Hope the picture comes through, the chassis is from A Motorvation Formula II. The "body" is just a $7.99 Costco box I put on to test and adjust the setup, when I'm done tinkering I'll put the sidecar body back on.

    Sucking the oils out?

    So here I sit with a new filter, filter wrench, a gallon of 15W-40 Rotella T... And none of the local Yamaha dealers have the crush washers for the drain plugs! Then I think (dangerous activity)... For 130K miles on my VW diesel I've been using a little suction pump to suck out the oil, and have...

    How to get this beast up on the center stand?

    Getting' about time for the 600 mile service and I still haven't been able to get this beast up on the center stand... Is there any secret? Or should I use the usual strategies for center stand impaired bikes- lift it with a "cherry picker", put it on the trailer and steady it with tie downs...
