    2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

    So, at 6’, I actually don’t get a whole lot of buffeting off the screen, but it is noisy. I did put mirror extensions on, which helped. I also put a MRA style spoiler on, which helped more. It’s still a little louder than I want for all day riding, multi day riding, but it’s doable for me. I...

    2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

    To bump an old thread, I traded in my S10 last week on a 2022 Tracer 9 GT. I had ridden an FJ-09 a couple years ago, and while I really liked the motor, there were a few things about the bike that just didn't fit me. A few weeks ago I got to demo the Tracer 9 GT at MotoGP, and I fell in love...

    Super Tenere vs Moto Guzzi V85 TT ?

    I got the chance to ride one this weekend at MotoGP. The Aprilia demo guy was nice enough to let me take his V85TT out on one of the demo bikes. It’s a beautiful bike. The ergos were good, and the transmission was super smooth. But I felt the power was lacking, and it was definitely buzzy under...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Installed 25mm risers, a homemade extension/heel hook for the adjustable kickstand, and my new KonTour seat.

    Things To Do

    You can do cheap lights and a bar off Amazon. Mictuning or Nilights. Good bang for your buck. For crash bars/skid plate, T Rex is a great combo for the price. For cruise control, you’ll need to look at MCCruise, which is plug and play, or Rostra, which isn’t. You can get aftermarket wings on...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Oddly enough, the mirror extensions reduce helmet buffeting. I don’t know why, but it works. I also like my mirrors a little bit higher up.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    A couple weeks ago, I traded my ‘15 ES on a ‘19 ES. They moved most of my farkles over, but there were a few that didn’t move. I spent today rectifying that. I added a new tank bag (my old one has ripped), wired up aux lights and a Skene controller, removed the Helibar risers that were on the...

    WARNING Shinko E705 tire

    I’m on my 3rd set of 705’s. My wife has a set on her S10 too. I haven’t had any issue like this. Solid wear, good on the highway, wet or dry. Run well on gravel and light offfroad. Meh in the sand. They suck in the mud, but what doesn’t?

    Have you dropped your Super Tenere? Damage?

    The tires were actually a pretty good set of 705’s. I had just replaced the rear before starting my trip back. They do pretty well in everything but mud. To be fair, I don’t think any tire would’ve helped much in that slop.

    24 Hours on the Super Tenere - Video

    His S10 review was one of the reasons I bought mine. Coming from Harley’s, it’s really nice to be able to focus on the ride and not the bike.

    Have you dropped your Super Tenere? Damage?

    In one 20 mile stretch between Utah and Colorado last summer, I dropped mine at least a dozen times when the nice gravel road turned into soupy clay. Left side, right side, at 15 miles an hour, and at a standstill. The bike was so caked in mud I had to take it to a car wash once I got back to...

    Time For A New Windscreen

    The thing that really made a difference for me was a knockoff MRA Xscreen I bought off eBay for $40 or so. Between that and the winglets I have no buffering issues with an OEM shield.

    Put the ole girl on the scale today

    The weight perception is all relative. I came to my S10 from a Street Glide. All the reviews I read before I took a test ride mentioned how heavy the S10 was. The first time I picked it up off the side stand I almost threw it over on the other side. It weighs 400 pounds less than my Street...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Today I added a set of Jesse bags to the bike that I found on Craigslist. The deal was too good to pass up.

    Upper crash bar that can fit together OEM crash bar

    My wife has the DS upper guards on the OEM lowers. They are...OK. She’s dropped the bike twice, both times on the left side. The second time, the upper bars shifted on their mount enough to touch the fairing. No damage, but it’s enough to make me want to replace them. Since Rumbux is no longer...
