keep an eye on your spokes. I had one come loose and detach itself from the rear wheel. This after 700 miles from the initial 600 miles service that stipulates spokes must be checked for tension. Dealer has submitted a warranty claim to Yamaha, looks like some other spokes are a touch loose as well.
I suggested to the service manager that the bike hadn't been checked properly, either at PDI or 600 mile service, maybe both, his reply was that it wasn't in the service schedule (it is)
needless to say I have lost all confidence with the dealer.

Watch for water sitting in the spark plug recess it took mechanics 4 hours to get it out due to corrosion

thx for the input guys i'll check the spokes b4 i take it in for the first service and after shes been thrashed around the highlands 
I had a spoke make its bid for freedom in Bavaria last year. 2 up with all the luggage and it sounded like a machine gun as it whacked my hugger!
It was off the road a couple of days whilst the local dealer there sourced a replacement.
I now have an almost complete set of spare spokes as you can't buy then singly. I will sell them at cost price in sets once I get around to it.
Other than that, it has been utterly wonderful.

hi zed, scotland was wet and snowy...lol..
the s10 was brilliant, the only thing i missed if im honest was another couple of ponies, had to keep the revs up to catch friends on wc gsa's. but when i got past they wasnt catching me ;0) and i felt like i was filling up more, miss the large tank. got 3700 miles on her now and ive got her up for sale(and my harley) only bought her because i didnt have the room for my wc gsa and my harley so i down sized,ive now realised the harley isnt for me, so both for sale and im going back to the wc gsa.
dont regret my short time with the s10 and cant fault her on anything apart from a little more oomph ;0)
both bikes are in the ebay section

Fit a full system and get a custom dyno setup and you would pick up about 10 - 14BHP, taking it to about WC power for around £1,000 gotta be a whole lot cheaper than trading one for T'other.
