    Tank and ALTrider crash bars

    I have a black tank off a 2012 Super Tenere. It has a big ole dent in the right side caused by the handlebars when the bike toppled my lift. Hows about $100 + shipping? I also have a set of Alt Rider engine guards off the same bike. They are almost certainly bent but are still...

    For Sale - 2015 Red Super Tenere - non ES

    On April 7 while sitting at a stoplight, a distracted driver came to a stop, then accelerated into me. He knocked me into the car in front of me and knocked me off the bike. I was pretty sure the bike was totaled and put in an order for an identical bike the next day. Well... the bike wasn't...

    Odd '12 behavior

    Hi all! I'm having a small issue with my Tenere' that I haven't seen elsewhere so I thought I'd share to the collective.... I have a 2012 model that I purchased new. All maintenance done by me with the exception of the valves which were to be done this winter. The bike has a touch over 30K...

    Switched power outlet

    Hey everyone! I'm thinking of adding a switch to standard power outlet that will allow it to be used either in a constant-on condition or in a switched-on (as is) condition. Before I start down that path, I thought I'd solicit opinions from the collective to see what other options have been...

    S10s at Thunder Valley National MX

    Rode the S10 to the nearby Thunder Valley National MX. I saw a total of 4 Tenere's including mine... the others were Blue for those of you who count... ;) I decided I didn't want to wait out the weather that was to cause the big delay in the program, so I headed down Rooney Road shortly...

    Today's adventure camping tips!

    1) Use flip top toothpaste containers to keep your panniers minty fresh! 2) I'd you have a new dry bag and Yamaha OEM panniers, be sure to pack the bag so it covers the plastic corner pieces to give it that road tested and leaky look. Brought to you by Merfman: Facilitator of Murphy's Law...

    Madstad vs WASP vs shipping/cost difference

    I've read everything I can find here but am still looking for something definitive so, if you have either of these brackets, please weigh-in. I'd like to have the Wasp bracket, the consensus here seems it's the better/more adjustable unit. What I'm struggling with is the cost difference and...

    1200 miles - my thoughts

    I spent the day yesterday in the foothills above Denver and Boulder CO yesterday. As we were cruising up Deer Park Canyon my Tenere' broke the 1000 mile mark. I came from an '03 VStrom and 30 years of dirt bike racing and very little street. Here are my thoughts regarding the ST and some of...

    My Tenere'...

    ... is due to be here in March. ::018:: I finally had a chance to ride my dealer's demo yesterday and walked away very confident that I'm making the correct choice. I did however, experience a problem that I'm sure has been much discussed, somewhere. I perused the forum but didn't find an...

    Hello from Colorado!

    Hey all, I'm Ken Murphy, I live in Colorado Springs and am currently on a 03 DL1000. That's scheduled to change in March of 2012 when my local dealer gets in a Raven S10. I got a chance to ride one around the parking lot there about 6 months ago and was impressed immediately. Smitten but not...
