Sounds about right. It was a bit over 6100 miles for me. I wanted to ride parts of it last year on my trip but the weather was too bad. I didn't get to ride LoLo Pass off road but I did ride all of Hwy 12 so that was an acceptable substitute given the weather...I got rained on for 4 of the 5...

I have actually documented my changes. Not only have I changed the shim stack, I also modified the actual valving by drilling the tiny holes to make them bigger...along with other things previously discussed.

A memory that will forever be etched into me.

I have risers so I don't know if the switches touch or not without. These are Amazon specials....paid about $25USD for them. If I raced off road or FMX, I would use a different brand but for this application, they are very nice, feel the same as the expensive brands and at 25% of the cost of...

I've reposted my post from another thread earlier... I replaced the stock bars today with a different bend and nearly 3 inches narrower. Initial feel is very positive. I've found the stock bars to have an uncomfortable hand placement and I've always felt they were far too wide. I feel that I...

I replaced the stock bars today with a different bend and nearly 3 inches narrower. Initial feel is very positive. Even just pushing it around my shop feels better. I've found the stock bars to have an uncomfortable hand placement and I've always felt they were far too wide. I feel that I...

I've run over 60 miles with the light flashing. I typically try not to exceed 50 miles though. Last year, loaded down during a cross country trip just outside of Vega Tx, I ran out after 47 miles. I was on the edge of nowhere and it was 99* at 10:30am when I started pushing... Now I don't go...

The "cause" could be air box design, fuel programming, or both. I cannot control the air box design nor can I control the fueling (without investing a lot of time and money) so I experimented with something on a wild guess and it improved my issue. It's kind of like working on a fuel map...

I've tried everything I've read in this forum. I've experimented with screw settings multiple times. I've been working on this issue for months. I've found a solution that has worked for ME and my setup and reported it here. I have no reason to mislead anyone. Hell, most people don't even...

"Well I'll be dipped!" It freakin works! I went for a ride when it was 97* and engine at operating temp. What I noticed is that while not perfect, it GREATLY reduces the tendency to die when opening from a closed throttle position at low rpm. I put myself in several positions where...

I've sync'ed the TBs with my vacuum gauges. The screws are about 3/4 and 7/8 turn out and the balance is correct.

I agree with you as it's all in what you make of it. In my short time with my Tenere, I've been impressed at what it is capable of. I've ridden in places I never imagined it would go, and I've just scratched the surface of what others, like yourself, have done with this bike. It is far from a...

I had Anthony re-flash my ECU after my first ride. I've adjusted the throttle body screws accordingly and have sync'ed them. I still have the issue. I enjoy my Tenere but there are personalty traits with this bike that I've had to address in order to keep myself sane. I will openly admit...

I agree somewhat on subjective. I will say if you stepped off of yours and rode mine, you would definitely notice a difference. Whether or not you would like my setup is subjective but I'm pretty sure the changes I've made would be welcome as I've addressed a very noticeable characteristic of...

If someone gives you grief because you're not riding a BMW, then they aren't worth riding with. I've ridden my Tenere multiple times with BMW GSA riders and the only thing I will say is that in every instance, riding on loose gravel roads, the BMW guys are always difficult to keep up with. On...
