    13 super tenere

    The Gen1 bikes were a bit particular about having the throttle bodies synced and what up describe sounds appropriate. There are some good how-to threads in the Power/Exhaust sub forum. Not difficult and I’d start there.

    hole in valve cover

    As others wrote, this sounds like a symptom and they haven't found the origin of the issue. Too many of these bikes have been running with only minor issues for 14* years to have it be a typical bike problem. (*They came out in 2010 outside of the US) There is no way I could possibly recommend...

    cargo van rental

    Unless renting a medium/tall height Transit or similar, loading a van typically means removing the fairing and handle bars. This is the Tenere in a Transit 148" mid-height: While located near Damascus, MD, I'm not around enough any more to have couch surfers and have no outdoor toilet...

    This Ain't Good | 2024 with 375 miles

    Go over the fasteners yourself just to make sure nothing was missed on set-up. The sump is vulnerable to rock punctures so do install a plate. Beyond those and following the routine service schedule the bike will protect itself from your mis-deeds quite well. Think of it as a two wheeled Toyota...

    Monster KTM 1190 dirt bike with 46" Mickey Thompson tires

    Can it hill climb and jump? I be afraid of throwing that chain into the back of my leg! Article: https://newatlas.com/monster-chopper-first-ride-jump/ They look like they do some fun projects. Turbocharged shopping carts, 24kW electric go-carts, 180 hp golf cart . . . Obviously have more...

    Free "Die Hard" YST forum stickers

    Forum Admin Venture found he had 52 of the stickers from when the bike was new in 2012. We were going to pass them out at the Romney Camp-n-Ride but they arrived late. SO . . . pm for my address and send me a self addressed stamped envelope. I'll put in one sticker and send it back to you...

    This Ain't Good | 2024 with 375 miles

    Glad you got past your apprehension. First forget anybody who says cam chain tensioner. Those problems went away long ago. Like many other fuel injected bikes the Tenere is prone to stalling in the first thousand plus miles. Don’t be surprised coming to a stop or slowing into a sharp turn and...

    V85TT for now

    Definitely not getting to ride as much as I’d like but yes, still enjoying it every ride because it does so much do well. Hearing the air cooled engine start has a bit of Harley sound till you touch the throttle and it rocks left-right, which makes me smile. It does fine on the highway and has...

    I resemble that remark, even if it is a newer V85TT.

    It's Spring in West Virginny. Saturday should be less than 50% for most of the day till 5pm, which means folks can head out on routes and also that we should be able to do lots of demo rides at the Triumph Truck. If there is rain Saturday it should be limited to occasional drizzle. We are...

    2024 Romney Camp-N-Ride is ON for May 3-5

    Those who've attended before are familiar with our "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) sheets that we ask everybody to fill out and carry in their chest pocket. For the first timers, we've had some people get injured and nobody in their group knew their real name or what to do with them, so we created...

    The end of a beautiful relationship?

    Hard start affected some bikes but not most. As others noted even for those which had it occasionally it is not the end of the world. jackintherok - Glad you took it to somebody with experience. If those 12 year old injectors have never been cleaned, they are where I'd begin.
