    Battery Shelf Life

    Thanks for all of the replies....yes, I think I will go ahead and change it. I had charged it with a regular charger. I do plan to hook up a way to easily keep a trickle charger when not using it. I look forward to riding this fall.....it has been very hot this summer and I have waited...

    Battery Shelf Life

    I had allowed my 2019 ST to go unridden during most of July, and when I tried to crank it the first part of August, it would not crank without assistance from battery charger/starter. I charged the battery overnight, and it still did not want to start without assistance. I ordered a new...

    I think it depends on the rubber.....

    Breeding Two Brands

    Ended up ordering a set of Annakee Adventures. My only concern is longevity....I think that the Missions would have lasted longer. Thanks for the input. My tire dealer talked me out of cross-breeding them.

    Breeding Two Brands

    I'm having difficulty finding front Dunlop Trailmax Missions. Has anyone tried using a different brand in the front than the rear? I was thinking of either Mitas E07s (not sure if + or not) or Michelin Annakee Adventures in the front and Trailmax Missions in the rear. Does anyone think...

    Racks for GIVI DLM36B Dolomiti 36 Liter and 46 Liter Dolimoiti Top Case

    Has anyone else had any problems getting the lock inside the Givi DLM36B Dolomiti 36 Liter Aluminum Panniers to snap locked or to open. Mine seem far too tight....I am always afraid that I am going to break it. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is another adjustment...

    Flashing cruise light

    Thanks! I will check that out........could it also be the adjustment of the front brake switch....it seemed to do it with either brake. I was testing it on the center stand in my garage.

    Flashing cruise light

    Do you know if there are written instructions on testing the resistance of these switches? I am having this exact issue on my 2019 ES and can cause the blinking light with either front or rear brake. I have also noticed that my brake light sticks on when this occurs. Thanks!

    Service Manual Recommendations for 2019 Super Tenere ES

    I appreciate the direction. However, there was no indication to me that this was an illegitimate source......that was the purpose of asking about it was to see if anyone else had any experience with this manual. There was no indication to me anywhere on the site who the original publisher...

    Service Manual Recommendations for 2019 Super Tenere ES

    I just bought my 2019 Super Tenere ES Friday. I have always performed my own routine maintenance and some more complicated service projects on my other bikes. I like to have a shop manual that I can refer to, but they vary in quality. Does anyone have any suggestions for this bike. The...

    Racks for GIVI DLM36B Dolomiti 36 Liter and 46 Liter Dolimoiti Top Case

    I also ordered three of these from Amazon to use as inner liners for this setup.....with the idea that I can use one in each case, with some extra room left in the top case. Travel Bag Lightweight Duffel Gym Bag Waterproof Foldable Portable Luggage Bag Men Women (32L, Blue). By the way...

    Racks for GIVI DLM36B Dolomiti 36 Liter and 46 Liter Dolimoiti Top Case

    Thanks for the reply. I have ordered the racks and the plate. I just got the cheapest version of both, as all of this is getting a little out of hand. It won't be a big deal for the racks to remain on the bike.

    Racks for GIVI DLM36B Dolomiti 36 Liter and 46 Liter Dolimoiti Top Case

    I just ordered the Givi DLM36B Dolomiti Black Line 36 Liter Aluminum Panniers as well as the Givi Trekker Dolomiti 46 Liter Monokey Top Case (Also Black). The salesman/manger at the Cyclegear store where I ordered these told me that they came with the racks and everything needed to mount it...

    Hauling A Super Tenere in a Truck

    I took it for about a hundred mile ride today......went over and ordered some Givi cases (Trekker Dolomiti 36 Liter Side and Dolomiti 46 Liter top case). Now, just trying to decide whether to order some of the liners for these cases (Givi T506 for the side cases)....I will ask about that in a...
