So after 2 years and 20,000 miles I have moved on from my Super Tenere. She has been a good bike. But I missed the hit of a good engine which as good as the motor is on the Tenere is it just didn't light my fire. But a great bike. I replaced it with the 2015 KTM 1190 Adventure. Great site...
Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500
1/8/15 update bike is at at 15,000 miles. I have followed the dealers suggestion and have been using Engine Med RX in every tank it's only 1 ounce. The bike is running great. I failed to mention they did replace the plugs as well last time they only...
Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500
Update so far so good. No issues in the last 1000 miles. Have continued to use the fuel treatment the dealer suggested. Will continue to put more miles on the bike but so far she runs great. Time will tell.
Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500
Ok so bike back in the shop again for the same issue I reported earlier. This time it was in the shop for 13 days on top of the 5 days it was in the first time. The solution? They synced the throttle bodies and suggest I run engine med in every tank...
Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500
I have the same problem. The dealer had the bike for 5 days. Their solution from Yamaha at the time was to run 5 bottles of Engine Med RX in one tank of gas. Really?? It didn't work and has only gotten worse. I have no faith in the bike now as it...
Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500
Similar problem here recently started at around 10,000 miles stalled at a stoplight wouldn't start. Other times the idle was around 800 really weak. Shut off the key turned it back on and it fired right up. Pull into a gas station and the revs are...
Re: Real tank size
I got 251 miles ona single tank. Now I did run out of gas and luckly coasted dead engine into a gas station. Lucky me. When I filled the tank it only took 5.5 gallons. So plan on 5.5 gallons of fuel. I usually hit reserve around 200 miles. Hope that helps.
Installed my 8" Baja Designs OnX light bar yesterday. Fairly easy install. Light is amazingly bright pics don't do it justice at all. Very white light compared to the stockers. Got the 100/50/strobe switch pretty cool. But had to extend one of the grounds to get the switch where I wanted it...
Because it looks like that.
Geeze were talking $20 bucks. I have one they work well on stock grips but slip quickly on gel grips. Not recommended for them when I purchased mine at Laguna Seca Moto GP. Overall on stock grips I works pretty good.
Similar issue with my FZ1 after installing different headers. Come to find out it is just a harmonic vibration as the bike passes that rpm range. I have a 2012 with 9,800 miles I ride with ear plugs when I take them out and ride I hear all kind of different sounds. But the bike runs great...
