Just update, bike is still in the shop. Still rough idle / constant throttle. Yamaha covered replacing throttle bodies and o2 sensors. After that shop said was running well, and then after they did a long test ride and got back, acted up again. Now I understand its slightly derailing from...

Sounds like enough complaints have made it so it is being looked into. Yamaha has officially recalled the 12-13. https://blog.motorcycle.com/2018/10/23/recall-2/2012-yamaha-super-tenere/

looks like someone has documented video of it happening to him, and its right along with what I was experiencing, besides the bucking issue near end of video I also got an email from NHTSA askign questions about my issues

So I am st about 10 starts and 120 miles on bike since new wiring harness and so far no issues like before. However now it is running rough at 3000-3500 rpm, lots of sputtering popping out exhaust. Wondering if fuel is related, old and been sitting so long. Burning through this tank to then...

As I see it (and I dealt with) you have 3 options: - Sell it / trade it in and move on (quick and done, but if you don't disclose the issues could be bad karma, especially on private sale) - Pay roughly $1500-$2000 for dealership to do the wiring harness (quick but sucks) - Find the best...

Service Manager called me back later that day, said he spoke with his Yamaha rep and yes they are covering it. So now again, waiting for part to arrive and be installed.

Service Manager just called me, long story short was saying I needed to pay for the part & labor. (Guy has what seems like a short or bad memory). I told him 3 weeks ago he told me explicitly that Yamaha was covering it, and now they want me to pay for it, which he quoted me $1200 for parts...

Been hectic and busy, but need to update everyone. Bike is still acting up, took it into shop 3 weeks ago today, same shop it was at last year. They duplicate the issues no problem, call yamaha and explain what is going on. Yamaha wants some video footage, they try 3 times and no luck...

Ya, i need to get it to the shop to see if they will do the wiring harness. Havent had time to take the trip to take it to the shop, damn life getting in the way

Sorry its been a few days, and I do not get emails or any notification when someone replies to this thread, so its hard to remember to keep checking back here. Anyways, happened again this morning.... ::010:: I am usually always in S mode, but yes it has done it a few times in T. Good idea...

Im my situation I can always pop out clutch and it fires up, but when i come to a stop or pull clutch in without throttle it will die again. Then to get it to start you have to crack open the throttle a little, and then it will run but the rpms hang, never drop down even with zero throttle...

All my connections are good. I went through when this first happened, checked all connections and added dielectric grease. Havent checked the linkages as the throttle feels correct and responds as id expect. It is just the times it does it, it happens and then will be fine for a while. Ya...

well havent been on here for a while as I didnt want to say anything until I had more info, but we thought we had the issue fixed until it decided to act up again today. Little back story to last few months: Took bike to dealer 8/24/17 - they diagnosed it as faulty ecu, $1200 part. They put...

Any time I have had an issue with "Throttle Stuck" it was after having to start the bike with the throttle cracked open. If you started the bike without throttle cracked open and it seemed to have a sticky feeling, make sure you have proper amount of free play in your throttle cable, just a...

As i understand it from reading on here, there is another programming mode the bike goes into when the clutch level is pulled in, and if there was a bad reading from the connection / switch then maybe the signal to the ecu was out of spec and thats what caused the issue. This is just an...
