Hi Everyone.

Just joined the forum.

I live in North Staffordshire on the Derbyshire border....about 14 miles from the Cat and Fiddle.

I ride a 2013 S10 in grey.

We use it mainly for our European touring holidays as we have a Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 for our sunny Sunday days out.

The S10 had a few extras thrown in by Mr Yamaha when I purchased it in October 2013. I since then have added a few extras, bigger top box etc, and the bike is now at a tuners getting a Power Commander and a digi gear indicator fitted.

Once I have him home I will post some before and after pictures.

We first toured Europe in 2013 on the Guzzi doing a Black Forest and Vosges tour.

In 2014 we did a France/Picos tour on the Yamaha. I also did a 5 day jaunt to The Somme with the lads.

This year we are doing a Croatia/Balkans tour. Furthest we have ever gone but we are really looking forward to it.

I am also doing a 5 day Scotland tour with the lads in July and the MCN Skegness weekend in April.

Would love to meet up with fellow S10 riders when the warmer weather arrives

Greetings from Texas! My father flew over from Indiana and rented a bike to tour the Balkans. Said it was a fantastic trip. Enjoy!

Hi, and welcome from North Derbyshire with a twist.

 

[barkingllizard]

a simple hello, Daviedevs.....

Howdy.

You may want to do a test run fully loaded before your big trip, the OE shock is very nice solo (IMO better still with a line or two of added pre-load) but once two-up with luggage is well under-sprung and under-damped.

I Fitted a Wilburs with a slightly stiffer spring (well MCT did) and it was massively improved two-up, and not noticeably harsher when solo, MCT also re-worked forks which gave a slightly more comfy ride with a lot better front end feedback.

Hi Daviedevs, welcome to the forum. If you ever dream to venture far south Europe to Malta, let me know. I was in the Black Forest last August - memorable riding.
