Welcome!!!…from Mendoza, Argentina. If you want everything to work perfectly on the S10, since you bought it used, there is a simple list of checks to be done, to avoid some problems appearing in the future (or near future)… for that it would be interesting to know, how many km it has?

Hola compañero, tiene 52.000 kms

Hola compañero, tiene 52.000 kms

With those km, you are close to having to perform some slightly more complex checks. The simple controls of any used motorcycle purchase:
-) change oil and filter (3.6 liters JASO MA2)
-) air filter
-) brake pads (to avoid scratching the disc, and )never push the pistons in without loosening the bleeders, you risk ruining the abs module)
-) differential oil…
More complex controls:
-) timing chain tensioner (take a pic to check that it is a more recent model..if it’s old cct, you have to change it, for a new model or a manual CCT (if you hear knocks in the engine rigth side when you accelerate or decelerate….you have a failed cct…and you can break the engine
-) spark plugs (especially check that no water has entered the well (if you see water or rust, take care when you unscrew the sparkplugs, make with a torque wrench, regulated to the same tightening torque, if it does not loosen, increase the torque a little and do it again a little more….it is not known with certainty how much longer a “stuck” spark plug can hold….we do know that they tend to break (if you take out a spark plug in well…it is replaced by a new one)
-) check U joint and lub.
-) check spokes (don’t over adjust them, if you dont’ want to break the rear wheel
-) check that the valves are within the specifications, but with those km, You should "adjustment them and leave them in the highest range until about 100k km" . If you only check them, you will find some in the lowest range, but they have a few km left to go out of range (only some, especially the exhaust ones.
-) first adjustment: 40/60k km
-)second adjustment: 90/110k km
-) third adjustment: 140/160k kilometers, there they almost remain in range and it is not necessary to adjust them

And buy supplies. Within a few days, a conviction for corruption will be handed down. If it is positive… all the unions will go on strike (especially the truckers union)…
