the stem's tight, jus the mirror leaf vibrates out of view, hopefully nt the ball joint damaged.

 

horkay, will see if i can gt the bracket exchanged to the handlebar clamp mount type, as will need the IU daily due to touring of PIE, hopefully it'll solve the mirror moving issue.

 

get warranty claims if the ball joint is damaged..

no prob..

I do not have after market exhaust, so just curious what these adjustment feel like.

 

My finding , increasing the CO setting, my bike feel much smoother in S mode.

The best setting for me is +4.

 

 

if your S10 is FULL stock - recommand " Zero " as it save fuel yet pack enough pickup

 

if you have Slip-on only - "+3" as it will reduce the backfire

 

if you have Full System - "+4 till +7" as it will reduce backfire but dun create "stall engine" once awhile on the road

 

if you have Full System + aftermarket Air filter = PCV is the way to go. can try "+5" which is a mix between reducted backfire & enough torque pull under S mode.

 

*every time you " + " 1 value UP.more fuel are pump into the engine.so fuel save will not be achieve.so it not the BiGGer the value the better.

 

cheers

Below is from supertenere forum,

 

"I freely admit that I have been one of the more vocal complainers about vibration on the Tenere. In spite of owning umpteen bikes including big singles, I had NEVER experienced vibration as bad as my S10. I honestly thought that I was doing long term damage to my body, the vibration was that excessive. My feet and hands would bother me for days after an extended ride.

 

Now for the good news, I can't explain it but my bike has been running GREAT lately. That's right, I said it. I'm happy with my bike right now. It seems like my bike has smoothed out dramatically recently. Initially, I attributed it to the cooler temps but this past week we've had a few afternoons in the the mid seventies and the bike still ran flawlessly. While trying to analyze what my bike did in the past, I can remember riding in similar temps and being bothered by the vibration. What happened? The only thing I can think of is that I have been riding a lot recently with a good bit of miles in the mountains. Which means lots of rpm changes and high rpm running. Maybe I had an unsually tight motor and I just needed to flog the crap out of it. All I know is that my bike currently has about 4,300 miles on it and it has never ran this good.

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my vibrations don't return next summer so wish me luck. For now, I plan to ride as much as I can and finally enjoy my new Tenere."

 

Moral of the story, ride the hell out of your bike!!!

I have to admit,the S10 is not my daily mode of transport hence the rate of milage growth is very low.

There's also Altrider and Touratech.

 

I'm using H&B because I feel the H&B one offers the most coverage at the time when i bought it. It's also the thickest among all.

 

Another factor is the mounting of the skid plate. All through well placed brackets.

Few choice;

 

OEM Yamaha - Ok Ok area coverage.mounting point may be weak

Touratech - good coverage but $$$ is high

SW motech - good coverage ,nice style & no problem with arrow header

H&B - best under plate coverage but will have minor issue with header spring(have to cut hole at the spring spot for clean look)

Altrider - best coverage ,best look and best price.

 

I pick H&B as it cover Abit of the rear shock area too
