    Motoz Tractionator GPS Issue

    I hate to say it, but I have seen too many posts where Motoz tires have this "dry rot" issue. I am 99% sure I can go into my garage and find cracks similar to the ones in your bottom picture on my bike right now. Unfortunately, it seems like there is an issue with their rubber compound. Motoz...

    Side Stand Turn

    I do this all the time with my 690. It's amazing once you hit the balance point; the bike will pivot with nearly no effort. I am 90% sure this is also why my side stand bends at a strange angle on my 690. I've tried to pull this off with the Super Tenere a few times in the garage, but I have...

    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    I tend to pack lighter than the average rider. For most adventures, I would downsize to just the panniers and nothing on the pillion racks.

    Base Layer | LDComfort or Motoskiveez

    I'm a massive fan of Merino wool base layers. I have a mid-weight setup for the winter and a lightweight top and bottom for the summer. I will wear the same Merino base layers for a week straight when moto camping, and they never get crusty or stinky. For longer trips, I will bring a second...

    Jackup kit choice

    Have you done other suspension modifications? I'm looking for ideas on how to tweak the suspension without going full-on with new shocks/springs.

    Fork seal replacement

    It's a messy job, but it's not overly hard. A few specialized tools are needed to make the job easier. Find a digital copy of the Service Manual. I think I got mine from one of the many Super Tenere Facebook groups. Off the top of my head, I had to buy the following to augment my existing...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I installed an AltRider DualControl last night. In my Garne Fastback Enduro boots, I have very poor leverage on my brake pedal while standing, and the DualControl has solved that issue for me in prior motos. It provides an enlarged lower platform and a new upper platform for easier brake...

    Altrider bars and panel removal

    When I remove my body panel, it definitely has a tight fit with my AltRider lower crash bars. That said, if I pull the panel towards the rear of the bike, it comes out. The first few times I removed it, I was worried it would leave a mark on the body pannel, but that has never happened. Don't...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I discovered a small leak under my Super Tenere last night :oops:. It looks like the rear drain plug came a little loose, which seems plausible because I had a lot of snow getting packed in between the skidplate and the engine while crossing Bears Ears a few weekends ago. Luckily, I planned on...

    TracTive shock

    I don't know if any vendor is offering the electric versions for the ST; I have only seen the manual.

    Mosko Reckless 80Ls

    I loved mine. The best part is they hold their value like nobody's business. I bought my during a big discount sale, then sold them for more money a year later :p

    Mosko Reckless 80Ls

    I think you will be disappointed with the R80 and side racks. If you insist on going with racks, get the Backcountry Panniers instead, just saying ;)

    Interesting, it doesn't look like its still available.

    Jesse Luggage Systems

    I'm really impressed with my Jesse Luggage, and I think it would be worth the $40 to make a Gen II kit work on a Gen I bike.
