    2012 Front fork leak

    Feeling way better about the bike. Spent about 5 hours working on it today. It's nice and is in good shape. Popped open the left and right cowl. Found that the coolant was Yamacool in the radiator. Also drained the gas and flipped up the tank and got to the air filter. Whoa it's dirty! Two...

    2012 Front fork leak

    I’m a noob and have found some good YouTube and forum posts on the fork rebuild. Doesn’t scare me at all. No sweat. I need to get a full front fork rebuild kit and tools to make the job go well. Also need to order a few oil filters and some screws that are missing on the fairings. Small stuff...

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a lovely 2012 Super Tenere. It's got 14k miles and some nice upgrades from the previous owner. I wanted it up to commute as well as take it camping or put it on a rack on my motorhome. I really like the safety features of the bike and how solid it feels on the...
