I was at Hicklin Powersports open house last Saturday, to my surprise eemsreno walks in. I had mentioned how happy I am with my Tenere after I had Flash-Tune re-program my ECU. At which point eemsreno told me how well his +20 adjustment worked. So I had to take his bike for a ride so I could...

Packing up and heading out tomorrow. If I can get on the road early enough I will see you tomorrow night, if not Wednesday am.

56 when I got mine, 58 now. Have been riding & racing dirtbikes since 1969.

Finally it was above freezing in Des Moines area Sunday and Monday. Put a couple hundred miles on the Tenere. Was able the thoroughly test the new ECU flash from Flash-Tune.com Best $140.00 mod I have done to the Tenere. ::012:: What it does: Removes throttle restriction on 1st, 2nd & 3rd...

Installed my ECU that I just got back from Flash-Tune. Hopefully it is warm enough for a test ride tomorrow Update 2-19-14... Was able to put a few miles on today. My first impression is WOW :) :) :) :) Well worth the $100.00 plus shipping I spent. Off idle stumble has been minimized...

Anybody have a the phone number for Flash-Tune. The website Flash-Tune.com errors out with "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" Cannot find a phone number for them. :(

Mounted a set on the Tenere last night. Had to modify them because the straps were wider then the slots in the guards. Won't be able to try them out until I get to Mesquite, NV next week. Will give a ride report when I get back.

Finally checking in. Been so busy riding my KTM's and Tenere I haven't had time to check the forum. Just got back from a 10 day romp to Montana. Raced in the Big Sky XC race.August 25th. Finished a respectable 4th place in my class, considering I'm a flatlander and not used the the 7-10K...

I'm planning on it Hannabone. Had a great time in Montana riding the Tenere in Glacier National Park.

Sent you a PM. I will take two of each length.

Hard to beat Jesse Luggage if you are looking for hard cases. I am on my third set on three different bikes. Have been down twice at over 30 mph. Only put a few small dents in one of the bags and a bent bracket. Straightened mounting bracket re-mounted bag and kept going. The multiple angles...

The wife and I both tried out the tent last night. It is ok for a couple, wouldn't want anybody else with me. Shouldn't be a big deal since the tent will only be needed for sleeping. Biggest downfall I can see for couple camping is a single door, one of us will be climbing over the other...

Received my Big Agnes Wyoming SL2 sample tent yesterday and set it up. Everything looks fine except the color coded webbing was sewn in the wrong location. Once I figured that out the tent went together easily. Guess that is why it was 40 % off at $299.95 I think it is just what I have been...

Welcome, You are not to far from me, I am in Des Moines. If you are looking at hard side cases I highly recommend Jesse 10" Odyssey II's. I have had them on three different bikes. http://www.jesseluggage.com/yamaha.html

I have gone down and up Black Bear pass many times over the last 20 years on dirtbikes. Last year I had no problem going up Black Bear on a KTM 530 EXC-W. This year I did Engineer & Cinnamon passes on the Tenere without any issues. I think it was easier on the Tenere then when I did them on...

It is not assembly grease, it is gear oil. Do not want to tear it down until I get the parts to fix it. I would have to have a drive failure before the BMW crowd could gloat :D

The final drive on my Tenere has developed a small oil leak. The oil is dripping out the drain hole in the swing arm in front of the gear case. Have not torn it down because of the lack of parts, I am assuming that it is the one of the two seals or O ring on the front side is the culprit. The...

Changing bars does not eliminate the vibration but it can reduce/eliminate the effect of vibration felt by the operator. It is usually better to eliminate vibrations at there source, unfortunately that is not always possible.

PSYDUCK thanks for the installation photos. At 5'7" I will be contacting Faast on the availability of the bars for vertically challenged. I have used Faast bars on my dirt bikes since they first became available. They are nearly indestructible, i have had numerous high speed get offs without...

My Warm and Safe grips get plenty hot. Never run them on high. The warm and safe controllers will also work with Hot Grip brand grips which are similar to the Yamaha heated grips with the heating elements inbedded in the grips. Link to Hot Grips http://www.hotgrips.com/
