    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    No it sure don't look like they got in November 4th (this year!) :-) They did! I saw it with my own eyes - both of them ;-) The left most coil had a lot of moist on/in it too. But the plug is not corroded to the degree the others have. But yes, the 2 middle plugs look really bad, i.e. one in...

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    But if the cylinder cuts out totally - then there is more wrong, than just one coil, or? I mean, if one plug/coil performs well, the cylinder should be running to some degree? I am just reluctant in buying new electrodes - "just because", and not knowing if they are really bad. I have just...

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    Actually it was a leftover - so it has only been running from 13-14 where it got about 10000km on the clock. Then the PO got a back injury and it sat for about a year until I bought it last year. I am not going to replace the coils just now. I am waiting for new plugs to arrive. And will swap...

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    BTW the one on the left in the first pic is from the right cylinder. I hope that is enough to cause my problems - its the only thing I foundation;)

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    The coils on cyl 2 and 3 sure don't look pretty. And the plugs neither. Oh, of course the plugs are on backorder ...

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    Thank you all for your input! The valves were checked 3000km ago. The consumption was already higher before that. The "one cylinder" issue began yesterday morning without any warning. I trust the mech beyond reasonable doubt. I am going to pull the plugs and replace them and visually check the...

    Running on one cyl when cold and higher fuel consumption

    Merry X-mas y'all ;-) My bike, a 2010 with about 50000km is acting strange. I used to get low tank level at about 275-300km now it is down to about 200km. It has gotten gradually worse over the last 10000km or so. I got the valves done about 3000km ago. New plugs as well. Done by a very good...

    End of my rope: unbearable noise and/or turbulence

    BTW. I referred to this post when I ordered my spoiler: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=18184.0 He makes the screens different sizes, he'll know which size from the picture in the first post. I think mine is 320mm by 150mm

    End of my rope: unbearable noise and/or turbulence

    I also bought the Russian spoiler. For me it worked miracles. On my first ride after i mounted it, I heard a strange noise, it took me several minutes until I figured out that I'm was able to hear the motor at cruising speeds I had a lot of buffeting and noise before. After a days ride I was...

    Maryland = If Nazi Germany Won WWII

    You guys should stop your fucking whining, really ;-) Here in Denmark we have to pay up to 150% to get a license plate on our motorcycle. Here the basic version of the Super Tenrere costs roughly the fee you are complaining about more than 30.000 USDollar ...

    Helmet lock

    Yes off course. Sorry for the slow answer. Just saw your post now. https://pnwtenere.com/2014/08/31/review-helmet-hook/ There is a mail you can contact. In the mean time I actually used the hook ... And it doesn't work with my type of helmet(s). I think it is constructed to be used with a...

    HEED CRASHBARS

    I have the Heed bars since last May. They look nice and they look strong. However, I had a 5mph right side crash and the Heed bar got pushed onto the overly expensive Worldcrosser side panel which cracked. It's like the bar just bounced back. I don't think it's sturdy enough. I still use them...

    Helmet lock

    There's a dude on adv-rider selling a set of hooks for putting under the seat. Lift the seat place the helmet(s) on the hook(s) and reattach the seat. Works quite well for about 10 bucks. I'll get the contact if you're interested.
