Ok, thanks guys. Think I got it all now. We´ll see when it happens again.

Is there some magic involved in the WOT procedure? :o I mean, wont open the throttle increase the petrol intake and make it even more flooded. Kill switch is noted. I did not know the petrol pump was involved when thats set to "on". Eric, can you explain more about the headlight on/off...

This happened to me today as well. Got home from a 5000 km trip 10 days ago. Washed it and had it running 90 degre celsius hot for a while after that. Parked it in the garage. Changed the light bowl for the registration plate 3 days ago and turned on the key to check if the new light bowl was...

Welcome Martin! We are a couple of Swedes here now. Gotta be a unusual bike we have cause I never see anyone else driving one. :) I´m leaving Sweden early tomorrow on my bike. Taking a trip to the alps, Italy and France.

Wasn´t quite satisfied with em, too long. They were in the way of my legs when having feets down on the ground. So had to cut them a couple of centimeters. Wide is still the same and that makes a lot for standing position. :)

I have done some modifications to my "new" bike. Tank protection. Bigger brakepedal. GPS holder with a lock. Kaoko Cruise Control. A lowered seat, but I must got my hands on the wrong one because I hardly notice any difference in height. Cheap solution, made a plate...

Why didn´t I think of that.....the red/Brown colour was oil ::012:: First time for me, seeing that clear oil into an engine. But I have always had old ones and when changing oil on them, they turn grey/black almost right away. Thanks, mystery is solved. :)

Hi, first time checking the oil level. I have done it the way it should according to manual. But looking in the window shows me a nice red/brown colour. I reccon oil can´t have that nice colour except in bottles. Not when engine had a oil change and been running for 700km´s. Level can´t be seen...

Thanks Eric, well explained. Phone charging it will be used for then. The GPS will have the cables (attached in purchase) directly connected to battery pools. Could not hurt installing another 12V outlet with bigger cables, 10 A fuse and a switch with a light in for other more powerful gadgets.

Hi, I´m new to this bike and also to electric issues. I was so happy when I discovered the OEM outlet. No more worry about all gadgets that must have power. But is it really that bad? What gadgets can I use to power up with the OEM? What can happen if you increase the fuse to 10 A instead...

Yes, bring us the dimensions please.

Yesterdays little adventure went well. I took the flight and landed in pooring rain. Inspected the bike and it was not 100% as the seller earlier did claim. Some small scratches here and there but that was expected from my side. He said it was used some on gravel roads and other roads out in the...

Hi and thanks for the welcoming. :) Trip back home is only 600 km if I go the straight highway. But I´m not. Knobbies isn´t that great driving with higher speed so I´ll will choose smaller roads with lower speed limits. Maybe another 100 km added on or something like it. I´m starting to get...

Hi everybody. My name is Tomas and I live in the south of sweden. Just found this site and this is my first post. Hope many to come. Have the original Super Tenere at the moment which is not bad at all. But I want to keep up with all modern tech as it is on newer bikes. Made a down payment the...
