    2012 Super Tenere Part out (College station, tx)

    I'm interested in the fuel pump assembly that is bolted to the gas tank. It will have the part number 23P-13907-00 sticker on it. Also if you have the connectors that plug into it I'll buy those as well. One is green and the other is white with a blue inset. This may be attached to a wire...

    Broken screw thread.

    Any update? How did the repair go?

    Broken screw thread.

    That could be a good place to get some direction. They likely will not want to deal with the bike but if they have a process in mind, ask if there is anything you can do (remove components etc.) in order to prepare the work area better so they will work on it. If not see if have any suggestions...

    What do we now think of the bike

    The newer clutch basket was one of the better mods for my Gen-1. Much smoother overall and especially accelerating through the 2,500 - 3,500 RPM range. Now I don't have to attempt to avoid that RPM range anymore.

    Glad it worked. I had my ECU out three times, it looks scary at first!

    Gen 1 new recall

    I have a pre-order 2012 but with a very low serial number and no recall letter. Would be interesting to know what issue they had during mfg. / assembly that created a need for change?

    Who doesn't do valve checks, and have there been issues?

    For those that have had their valves adjusted, can you let us know the amount that they were out of spec.?

    Who doesn't do valve checks, and have there been issues?

    I decided a while back to not to worry about getting the valves checked on schedule. Even if "out of spec" by 50% of the tolerance band, .0008 of an inch alone is not going to convince me to tear into it. I have enough confidence in the materials and manufacturing capabilities these days to go...

    Turn Signal Replacement

    Replaced mine with the original Yamaha LED's but I'm not sure if they are still available. Bought them from Oakville Yamaha in Ontario, easy to ship to the states but there is a larger fee for shipping. Also had to buy a relay (ELRF-1) from Custom Relay. Easy to do as a DIY project. It would...

    Touratech Engine Guards Feedback

    I never really thought about something different besides the cap bolts that were supplied with the package. They stick out 3/8" from the washer, but to replace them may be doable if can apply enough torque tighten the bolt. What may look good is a torx type which would have a lower profile.

    Touratech Engine Guards Feedback

    The TT bars do not get in the way. I had the same concern from seeing the pictures on their site but it's really no problem. I put them on when the bike was new and have not had any issues with them even through three big hits / drops. Also it's easy to remove the side panels for maintenance. I...
