    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Boredom part #3 : Decided to remove the belly pan, and cleaned it. Sanded down a lil bit, hand polished a lil bit. And I think it looks good enough to go back on the bike!

    Replacing clutch lever

    I'm not sure if it will help. But I've gotten myself a pair of such levers off ebay. And yes the brake lever goes on like butter. The clutch tho. No matter how I adjust it, reinstall it, it will not engage/disengage the clutch properly. For my case, it was a fitment issue. Fixing the lever...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Bored, Episode 2. Purchased some stickers online and covered up the fork protectors. Accidentally used a degreaser that's a lil too strong and the colors ran. Tinted the wind deflectors to match my windshields too! Hmmmmm... What shall I do next... :p

    Shinko 705 handling

    Have a set currently on, and yes, reporting the same exact feel others are describing about. At low speed they vibrate alot, feels like yep, riding thru steel grated bridge. Goes off at higher speed, but then the singing starts. I just take it as an indicator of my speed without looking at the...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    Funny enough, the new shinko e705 has a more off road thread than the mitas Terraforce-R. They're rated 80/20 as compared to mitas 90/10. But definitely less bounce. Yes they vibrate. And sing loud on high speeds. But that's expected. Hahaha I ain't blaming any manufacturer in any way. I've...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    Issue update : Decided to change tyres. Took out the Mitas Terraforce-R, installed Shinko e705 (which was half the price of the mitas btw) Problem is ALMOST solved. No more pronounced bounce at both slow or high speed, only occasionally. I'd say problem solved 90%. Am waiting for new fork...

    2015 Tenere Ohlins Suspension Experience

    I've gotten the same ohlin shocks and surprisingly with my small Asian ass, the 130 springs got my sag right. Do u have a comp rebound settings u end up love returning to? Currently on ohlins recommended 11clicks comps 16 clicks rebound. It feels fine, just wondering if anyone else has any...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    I've told my mechanic to keep a look out for anyone swapping out their old usable tyres that fits our bike, so that I can have it fixed for a quick ride and rule out tyres. There were mixed reviews about these mitas terraforce that I'm having. Some swear by it others says it's too hard it...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    Yeps because I'm in Singapore. Just 2 weeks ago, when I was swapping my windshields (I have a few in hand) a patrol car was doing their rounds and decided to check on me. Reminded me any form of meddling with the bike must be done at an authorised shop. Yeps.. Its that lame. Am looking at...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    No to this question. But if ur wondering if the engine has anything to do with it, like prolly engine not balanced will and cause a shake that translate to front handling, I ruled that out. I rode the bike at slow speed where the problem is most prominent, put it in neutral and killed the...

    Front End Bounce / Hop

    Still sourcing out oem parts for the fork rebuild, that reaches to my country. When I said high stiction, this is what I did (I wish to believe the way I tested it out is true to my understanding, but hey, I'm a dumbass who looses a screw or two everytime I work on my bike anyway) -loosen...
