Well, I would assume it was a puncture.
I would install a tubeless plug, inflate with my portable air pump and ride very cautiously to a motorcycle tyre shop and buy a new tyre.
Just sayin.

Hmmm...they sure look like Pirellii Angel GTs. Well, good luck with these, as I just wore a set off in only 17,000 km, you do the math....17,000 X .625 = miles.
I was expecting a lot more kms than that.
So, here I am on my third set of rubbers, I reverted to the OEM tyres, the Bridgestone Battlewing tyres.
Look out gravel cause here I come...yeehaw!!

I was running them on the FJR. Excellent, sticky tire. But, you're correct. They are short lived. Your mileage is actually good for them.

I recently considered trading up to an FJR.
I don't think it's the bike for me. I have sat on the FJR several times and it just doesn't seem quite right for me.
Although I'd like the extra performance, the Tenere satisfies my needs. FJR = goodbye gravel, Tenere is the Swiss army knife, best at nothing, capable of everything.

Not actually today but this week added 2" extended brake line and a new 2" extended clutch line so that I could put my HeliBar Risers on. Took the bike into the shop and had 6000 mile service done. I had the TB's Sync because I thought at times it wasn't running right. Big improvement.
My biggest change is my Laam Seat that was suppose to have been here yesterday, delayed till Monday delivery. I got pictures anyway. Really looking forward to try this seat out.

I had a laam on my fjr. It was a nice seat. I tried several times contacting him about doing one for the tenere and never got any response. That was 5 months ago. I got Terry adcox to build mine and he answers messages within an hour or so. Very responsive and a nice seat also. Just got it a few days ago.

Well, for what it's worth, the reviewers claim that is one of those tires strong points. I like the looks of them. But, they're spec'd as a 80/20 tire. To me, they look more like a 95/5. Looks like they have tons of pavement grip. Please keep us, or at least me, informed as to how you like them.

I agree, I see them as a 90/10 or maybe a a 95/5 tire, the latter describing my riding pretty accurately. One reviewer on YouTube who I believe lives in Spain put 10,000 km on his set between pavement, dirt, sand, gravel and mud said they were good except in mud...which I would believe, there's no "bite" in their design. His tires, mounted on a VStrom 650, showed a ton of tread depth after 10,000 km.

Wow that is a heck of a deal on a set of tires. Think Ill go for it. Chapparral Motorsports has them for the same amazon price.

Be aware. mid 2016 to mid 2017 manufacturing date.

Asked a friend on them and he said on his st they lasted 5.5k for the rear and the front was done as well. He had them back in 2014 and said they were great.

Last Saturday I posted pictures of my Seth Laam seat before it arrived, the seat finally arrived. Here it is on the bike. The passenger seat was extended out 2" on each side for more hip support. The wife isn't a heavy weight at 5' 115 lbs but has a hip that has started bothering her, so I had Seth extend the seat.

Picture of HeliBar Risers, already can tell that it definitely has made a difference. No slouching forward, has put me in an more upright position. It has helped calm down my wrist and I haven't experienced the finger/hand numbness since I added them.

Picture of fog light clamp. just want to say that these $14.00 clamps are the bomb, so far. I tried the name brand type that swivel and they sucked all the way around. These cheapies hold tight and I haven't had to re-tighten them once over the last 1500 miles. I was skeptical but for $14 what the heck. I am really surprised at how well they have worked for me.
