    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    New air filter, oil filter, and oil change. Not much oil in the air box. Thought about a throttle balance but it is running good so I do not need to fix something that is not broken. Maybe I'll wash it today before a ride. I adjusted the preload and it raised the bike higher. Now it sits better...

    Exhaust burble

    What a refresher to see my old post! I switched the stock and the two brothers pipe on my 2012 ST multiple times and ultimately liked the quieter stock exhaust best. I now have a 2014 ST with stock exhaust. I really like the 2014 better due to cruise and heated grips. I like the stock exhaust...

    2013 - On my third battery!

    My YTZ12S Yuasa battery was getting weaker on my 2014 Super Tenere. I bought a Noco Lithium MLP14 500 amp battery. It was a challenge to get in around my altrider crash bars but it can be done. The battery is lighter than a lead acid battery and has a 5 yr warranty. It has been in for 3 weeks...

    Trade up or expand the fleet?

    Nice bike! I had a 2012 ST with flashed ECU and sold it. Started missing it and bought a 2014 ST non ES with cruise, flashed ECU, heated grips, Seat concepts seats, LED lights, Yamaha luggage, and Ohlin suspension front and back. I put winglets and could not tell much difference in wind or...

    SOLD: Yamaha Skid Plate

    Here are pictures of the skid plate. You can change the short oil filter without removing the plate. The long filter is close. The plate provides protection from debris/rocks. I went with the altrider plate because it is a frame mounted skid plate. Thanks, Randy

    2015 Tenere Ohlins Suspension Experience

    I got lucky when I bought the bike. It had the Ohlins on it. The bike was really clean and taken care of. I added an altrider crash bar, changed the front tire, and fluids.

    2015 Tenere Ohlins Suspension Experience

    I have Ohlins front and rear on my 3rd owner 2014 ST with 19,000 miles. I contacted Jaxon (Tabasco), for help adjusting and teaching me about the suspension. He helped me set up the front and rear shocks. Unfortunately, he found a rear shock leak. I sent the rear to Ohlin for a rebuild and put...

    Have you dropped your Super Tenere? Damage?

    My 2014 ST fell over last week when putting 50 lbs feed on luggage rack/back seat. It scratched the new crash bars and dislocated the rt rear Yamaha luggage from the bottom bracket. This caused the trunk to hit the rear brake line and created a brake fluid leak. I found a puddle of brake fluid...

    Lowered suspension

    I made a mistake and you are correct. I have OHLINS front and rear on my 2014 ST. I posted the correct info on the general discussion page after I could not find this post in the tech board. That post was closed by the moderator as a duplicate. I raised the front shocks to the top of the triple...

    Raising the Tenere

    I have a 2014 ST with Ohlin shocks front and rear. It has been lowered and I want to raise it back to stock. The front shocks are easy to raise but I do not know if the rear shock link is stock. The links are black and 4 1/4 inch center hole to hole. How do I know if it is stock or modified...

    Lowered suspension

    I have a 2014 ST that I bought used. I want to raise it back to stock settings. It has pensky shocks front and rear. The forks are lowered and easy to raise. I do not know if the links to the rear shock absorber are stock or lowered. How do you check if the rear are not stock?
