The automatic check done on startup is supposed to check all the sensors are working - so theoretically they should all be working.... Theory can of course be wrong!!

I actually have a problem with my S10 - the traction control does not work properly. I can spin up the wheel no problem even in the baby mode 1. Send it in to Yamaha twice when it was still under warranty, but they said all OK. All the system checks say nothing is wrong - so where to from here?

If anyone is interested in getting some, respond to let me know. I make them out of stainless steel.  :thumleft:

There has been much discussion on the pros and cons of changing the rear ride height of the S10 by changing the rear suspension links (also known as 'dogbones'). I have always found the S10 rear to be a bit low for me especially when riding two up with luggage - even adjusting the spring...

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy both the tar and the dirt, so it seems that I definitely went too aggressive on the tyres (bought them because of an excellent deal to give them a try). I only normally have grip issues in the dirt, so thought I would try these. After researching this forum...

I too it too the agents - twice - when it was still under warranty and they said all was fine. Since chatting to other S10 riders I see that all is not so perfect.... If I am to take it in again, I will have to find someone who knows what they are doing? Any suggestions for the Durban area?

Yes they do. If I turn the TC off, the TCS light also comes on.

My S10 has only 12000km on the clock. Problems do far: loose spokes at around 4000km which came out and damaged the swing arm. Fixed under warranty and swing arm also replaced. Front park light blew... I have however found my traction control is not working properly. When riding in the wet in a...

Hi, I am looking into raising my S10 about 2-3cm. How much shorter did you make the link to raise it 5cm? I find the standard suspension has to be set at almost maximum in order to not sag too much, and I always have ground clearance issues. Any help would be appreciated!!
