Eh, who let the dog out?

[papabread79]

S10 is a good adventure bike but rims be it spokes or alloy rims doesn't really matters.

I dont know you but im beginning to like you ady leh with these words of wisdom.

 

Maybe @hockie69 can enlighten us abit since he ridden both the S10 and the Explorer. Hahaha.... But he like retired liao no sound no picture so long.

Hock now riding scooter. Hahahaa!! Maybe he'll be the 1st TMax to hit Vietnam, Laos or maybe China.

 

On the part of which bike is better, there will never be an answer.. Simply becos each rider is different and different bikes cater to the needs of different rider and his riding habits and style. To you, the Explorer is 3-in-1, to others it might be crap. Same goes for the S10, I love this machine but there'll be as many ppl who hates it as those who loves it.

 

Whether a bike that is capable of adventure touring needs to have alloy rims, adjustable suspension, blah blah blah can be subjective. But what I'm saying is theoretically what's expected of an Adventure tourer. Just like a sportsbike should have full fairings and a scooter shouldn't have a fuel tank in between the thighs.

 

I won't and can't say if the Explorer is capable or otherwise for adventure touring on offroad trails and beatup roads since I never ridden one. But I'm sure the S10 is capable of doing what the road throws at it. Anyway... There's also the XC model for the Explorer with spokes rims right? Any other different with the base model on cast alloys?

Good choice whether you are eyeing on the Tenere 660 or the Super Tenere 1200. Since you posted here in the Super Tenere chat I presume you are referrring to the latter.

 

First, lets put some figures and info on your questions (disclaimer: other than some facts, the others are my personal thoughts)

FC - Typically you'll get somewhere in the range of 17-20Km per litre. It's a 21L tank and reserve starts at around 17L. Mine which are moderately modded will blink at around 310km i.e. 18km/L.

Maintainence - It's a Yamaha. So expect good quality and not much to worry about maintainence other than the usual servicing. Parallel twin engine runs hotter so it's good to keep the lubricant with higher vicosity. Drivetrain is shaft so no worry about chain and sprocket wear but do remember to change shaft oil minimally every alternate servicing interval.

Cons of riding in Sillypore - Weight. This beast is one of the if not the heaviest of the Adv big tankers around. At 261kg dry weight and easily over 300kg with the fluids and accessories, you need to get used to it (although once you get the hang of it it's very forgiving). This is perhaps the only con i can think of for the Super Tenere (S10 for short).

 

Other info:

Accessories - You can be spoilt for choices with many accessories from Yamaha OEM, Touratech, Hepco & Becker, SW Motech, Alt-Rider, Givi which has add-ons specifically for the S10. Not to mention other universal accessories which can be used on the S10.

Handling - As mentioned, the weight is a concern. On road it is easier although at crawling speed you need to be mindful as the weight will be more apparent. Offroad it is adequate. Reviews said it performs better offroad than the BMW GS/GSA. It is actually rated as one of the more versatile Adv bikes in the market with confidence on and off road.

Speed - While the S10 hits 180-190kph easily, don't expect hitting the mid or high 200kph range with a snap of finger. This is not a sports bike and the aerodynamics of the S10 sucks. Beyond 200kph you have to 'fight' with the bike. Then again, if you are a speedster than get a GTR.

Comfort - The stock seats sucks. Esp if you wana join the Iron Butt Association riding up far North, it'll be good to upgrade the cushion. But in Sillypore it is ok although personally i felt it's too 'slopey' towards the front. My balls & little bro usually suffer after a while (or maybe it's bcos mine are bigger? ). Riding position of most adv tourers are upright and comfortable and same goes for S10. Of course you can alter the position with the seats and handlebar (& risers).

Workshop backup - It's not only bcos it is a Yamaha, but also the core group of riders who called ourselves Singapore Tenere Owners Group (STOG) has many good relationships with workshops and dealers. For this one confirm peace of mind.

 

Well...... any more questions??

[giggs786]

awesome post, keep on going guys. After much research and homework, think ill end the day with a tenere instead of XE. Thanks guys.
