    Valve adjustment - more lessons learned

    Depends on whether you want to wait, or you might have a shop with shims close by. A kit allows you to proceed immediately after measuring. Conversely, you can order individual shims to get just what you need at a lower overall cost. But then you have to wait for them to arrive. I went with one...

    Final-Drive Leaking, Seal Replacement

    Brilliant way to lock the hub! I had suggested strapping the whole wheel to the hub, but your way is cleaner. Good to hear you can remove the seal without removing the retainer nut. Mine was a bear to get out, with the retainer nut removed. Just a note, the washer for the coupler nut is...

    Clutch lever and mirrors.

    Some folks actually go with shorter clutch levers and use a 2 or three finger pull. I cut about an inch off mine and JB welded the tip back on. You could grind the knob down too. I'm not aware of longer levers.

    Most comfortable ear plugs?

    Too deep will cause me pain. Got to get em just right. These work best for me. I do lick em but haven't done the reach over/pull up. I like that my Hornet X2 has built in storage. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    Here is the thread for the front seal and o-ring. I did not replace the flexible shaft seal as it looked OK. If you have many miles you probably have a groove worn in the coupler gear. Some don't worry about it. I replaced mine. One on here was able to replace the seal without removing the...

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    If it is coming out the weep hole, which is what it looks like to me, it maybe the front seal which is harder to replace. A special socket is needed to remove the bearing retainer nut. Clean it up and try to determine which side the oil is coming from. If it is a slow leak, you can keep riding...

    Oil Change Complication

    New 2014 union Bolt ordered along with some OEM filters to get the order high enough for free shipping. It is backordered but should be here before I need it. Back together with my last FRAM filter. I do love the Valvoline full synthetic M/C oil. Shifting is so smooth. Sent from my SM-S918U...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Up the Bee Line and over to Gisela on Tonto Creek. Back down to Jake's Corner via the Rye Creek Road. Found a nice old bridge. Built in 1900, the bridge predates welding, so it's bolted and riveted together. The bridge was one of six spans of a bridge across the Gila River in Winkleman...

    Oil Change Complication

    Went to change the oil and filter today and the filter fought the whole way off. I remember when I installed it, it did not want to torque properly (turning too easily). I stopped when it was well snug but less than spec torque. It looks like the cheap FRAM filter started to strip then messed...

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    I hate when they grade out here. Takes away any track for bikes. It was beat back down to its old rocky self this trip. A little water in all the crossings from recent rain. I think I needed to soften the suspension on the T7. It was a little harsh. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Looks like the front fender is raised. How was that done? Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk
