I originally posted this in the Tech section, but maybe should have put it here first. Admins, if I've violated any forum rules, I apologize and feel free to delete as you see fit.
I've FINALLY decided buy a 2018 or 2019 Super Ten ES (But have got to get my boat sold first). I like the '18 because the price is a little cheaper, wife likes the color or the '19 better. Anyway, this is going to be my first Yamaha. Do the '18 or '19 Super Ten ES's have any known foibles/weaknesses that need to be, or should be, addressed to make it the awesome bike that I know it has the potential of being?
For instance, the KLR 650's have the "Doohicky" and "ThermoBob" issues, as well as a few others, that must be dealt with to make it live up to its potential. I know that I've read about the S10's having some ECU Map issues, some twitchy throttle issues in Sport mode, some spoke loosening issues, not able to turn off the ABS, etc., etc. What of these issues will still need to be addressed on an '18 or '19? And are there other issues out there that should be dealt with?
Thanks in advance for your input!
