    Different color exhaust pipes an issue (with pics)?

    Hey guys, just noticed this on my 2017 Super Tenere...one of my exhaust pipes is "frosted" and the other one isn't. I have a little over 13k miles on the bike and I don't think this started until the last few hundred miles. Has anyone else noticed this, and does it indicate an...

    Lower or adjustable rider foot pegs for my '17 Super Tenere?

    Hi all, I find that (with bad knees), the ST riding position is a bit cramped. I've installed a Sargent seat in the "high" position already. Wondering if there are any who have experience with lower rider foot peg options that may help alleviate this? Thanks!

    Cruise control intermittent on 2016 Tenere?

    Hey guys, my cruise control has suddenly become intermittent...mostly inoperative. When I push the cruise button the indicator light on dash flashes quickly and it doesn't work. Is there something simple to check or just get it into a dealer under warranty? Ugh! Thanks!

    Power available on Super Tenere for heated gear?

    Hey guys, looking at the full Warm & Safe setup of their newest gen 90W jacket, pants, gloves & socks. Total draw with all 4 is 15A @ 12V. Anybody know if stock Super Ten can handle that load? Don't have any other accessories installed besides a 12V adapter to charge my phone with that I plug...

    Menu button/trigger doesn't work???

    Anyone else had an issue where the menu trigger on left grip stopped working to toggle between info and heated grips? My 2017 Tenere started doing this yesterday. It will still work when held in for a couple of seconds to get me into the "setup" for the various menu items, but I cannot bring up...

    First big ride with new Tenere...

    Hey guys, been awhile since I've posted. Just got back from a 5-day, 1,500 mile trip with my Tenere. I bought the bike last October (new 2017 model), but had only put 1,100 miles on it since...mostly due to Oregon's crappy winter weather and me being a fair weather rider:). Anyway, myself and 4...

    Magnetic oil drain plugs?

    Are these a waste, or useful? Looking at the ones from AltRider...not cheap, and I'd need 2 for the Tenere. Thoughts? Are they worth it, especially on a new bike that's still theoretically breaking in?

    "Diag" and flashing "ECU" on right side of TFT???

    Help! I washed the bike today after a ride, dried it pretty well, then put it on the centerstand and started it up. Problem is, the right side of the TFT is now blank except for "Diag" at top and a flashing "ECU" below it. Holding the menu button down for a few seconds made the "ECU" light go...

    Rumbux Full-Spec Crash Bar/Bash Plate Set (w/highway pegs) Review

    I've only owned my 2017 Super Tenere for 2 1/2 months or so now, but the farkling sickness is in overdrive. Some of the things I've done to the bike were fairly esoteric, but others were absolutely necessary. Chief among the latter was installation of a quality crash bar/bash plate setup. In...

    Motorcycle Ergonomics Simulator

    Don't know how useful this is, but I thought it was kind of cool. Choose your bike (closest I could find was 2012 Super Tenere), then plug in your height and inseam. Shows you how you'd "fit" on a particular bike...theoretically. It's worth at least what I paid for it:)...

    SW-Motech Quick-Lock Evo Tank Bag

    Quick review of my SW-Motech tank bag...it's from their "Quick-Lock Evo" line. Mine is the "City", which is the perfect size for my needs. The angle of the bag fits the Tenere tank very well, I think. The bottom and entire bag is semi-rigid, so it holds it's shape well, and the top is...

    Madstad bracket & windshield for the Tenere

    I didn't like the stock bracket setup at all...insufficient adjustment, difficult to adjust, and kind of cheap feeling. The Madstad bracket is anything but! Very solid, increased adjustment range, and includes a standard size 7/8" solid machined aluminum bar for mounting accessories. You can...

    Bar risers...HeliBar or Rox 2" risers?

    For those who've added bar risers, what is your experience and recommendation...between these two and any other options out there? Thanks!

    600 mile service & beyond: Dealer service or do-it-yourself?

    My new ST will be due for the 600 mile service by the end of this week, and I'm thinking I'll have the dealer do it. I plan on doing all of my own oil/final drive fluid changes after that, however...meaning that it wouldn't see a dealer again until it's time for the valve adjustment (at 22k...

    Sargent seat for Tenere - quick review

    Just got the my new '17 ST home on Thursday, rode roughly 100 miles home from dealer on stock seat and my Sargent seat arrived on Friday (ordered before I even got the bike, based on forum info and 30-day return policy). Sure enough, the OEM pushes the boys into the tank. Also, the stocker feels...

    Are fork leg guards necessary on Tenere?

    Looking at the AltRider Fork Leg Guards for protection. What do any who have them or similar think of them? Also, do these guards in general really accomplish anything important? Thanks guys

    Rumbux system experiences, pros & cons?

    Am considering Eric's Rumbux full 3-piece set...thoughts from those who have the system installed on their Tenere? Does the cage scrape easily in corners? Sounds like the plate drops easily for oil changes? Any cons to the system, vs. the obvious pros? Any pros that are not obvious? Price seems...

    How necessary are UPPER crash bars?

    I plant to install AltRider lower crash bars on my '17 ST...I realize the uppers are supposed to stiffen the lowers, but do they much? Also, do the upper bars provide any real protection over and above the lowers in a tip over? Thanks!

    Finally pulled the trigger yesterday...2017 Standard Super Tenere!

    Got what I think is a good deal on a leftover new 2017 and I couldn't be happier. Worked the Yamaha heated grips into the deal, as well. Had never ridden a Tenere before, and I have to say that all of the Moto Magazine types who say it isn't powerful enough are nuts...at least to this average...

    Changes for 2018 model?

    I'm looking at a leftover 2017 vs a (soon to be leftover) 2018...the '18 is $1,000 more. Does anyone know what changes were made to the '18 model, if any? I'm also undecided between standard and ES model. Thanks! Rob
