I've got a US 2014 S10. I was able to get to the small "diag", but could not get it to display "CO". The US version seems to have different menus. There was only the ECU choice, no other choice was available at that earlier step. I held the reset and tcs buttons when I got to diag, but...

Thanks, I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

OK, time to eat a little crow! I followed up on the suggestions to sync the throttle bodies, with a little research and ran across the thread http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=1973.0. I adjusted the air screws (or whatever) as suggested, and my off-idle stumbles are fixed. I...

I just ordered up a Kappa KGR46 Garda. It looks to be a little more durable than the Givi V46, but is the same price. It looks like the accessories for the GIVI Trekker will fit the Kappa, so lots of options there, too. Will have to see how it works out! GDI

Well, they're really *not* moving at the same speed in a sharp turn are they? I said 90 degree turn yesterday, but my first turn of the day is more than that. It's probably at least 120-135 degrees. I turned TCS off, and no issues this morning. . . . Could be placebo effect, could be...

I didn't mention it earlier, but there was something else that happened this morning that caused my rebellion against the TCS. I backed the bike out of the garage just as I always do. It had been idling for a few minutes--longer than normal actually. It was probably a good two minutes as I...

I don't have a problem with the feedback. If it didn't do that, I wouldn't even know that I'm getting close to the edge. I've got another bike without all these features, so I don't want to be lulled into a false sense of security that will surely bite me when I get back on the other one. I...

Well, you know. . . . I read the *entire* "Instantly 15 more free HP" thread: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=4486.msg80473#msg80473 yesterday hoping against hope that I'd find the solution to my off-idle problem. From what I could tell though, it doesn't apply to my bike...

I don't have a problem with the ABS. It's "saved" me a couple of times already. Why the parentheses? I should have said I felt it kick in. I probably wouldn't have crashed without it, but who knows right? And, I am old enough, have ridden enough, to know better. . . . It's just that I'm a...

My technique is a little different. . . . I stand on the left side, hands on bars, steer the bike maybe 15 degrees to the right, and push forward. As the bike comes off the stand, the bike moves away from me and leans towards me. Steering the bike away is key here. . . . I dunno--seems to...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Like I'd indicated in my OP, the tenere hasn't really been on my radar, so not sure I've ever seen one in the wild. Just looking through the other posts, it becomes quite obvious that we're out there. I'm a little surprised to hear that you've still got snow...

I was killing time on my day off back in January when I stopped off at the motorcycle dealership. I looked at the Indians and Victorys first, chatted with the salesman, looked at their used bikes. Nothing there caught my eye. Everything was too shiny, high maintenance and expensive. Then I...
