Well has anyone had a issue with there S10 yet?

Yes, there are no faults or recalls to talk about, starting to miss the GS, the new one has had several recalls and scared the hell out of a few Journo's before any owners have taken delivery.

I know a few foreign Tenere owners have topped 50k and one bloke was past 70k months ago and it is being reported that the shims don't even move much with some bikes now at 50k (that's just two checks and not 7 ala BMW) and they are still within spec.

The problem is with all this time ON the road they tend to burn fuel and tyres more quickly

Corrosion seems to be the major issue I've seen. The frame can flake paint on the engine mount tubes under the rubber bungs and bolts/spokes exposed to road crap dont take much to give up plating /tarnish. Mechanicals on mine :- had an oil leak from the clutch side engine cover fixed under warrenty and the rear shaft seems to have a bit of play but the dealer insisted it was within spec. Other problem? back tyres dont seem to last long, even the K60 is well worn at just over 4k miles probably got 1k more left before it is on the limit in the center bar, though it does see a lot of TC light action (wet or dry).
