Fork oil 5w vs 10
With a stock set-up, stick with the viscosity recommended by Yamaha. Five-weight oils are not created equal, so find/use something close to OE viscosity. ~G- escapefjrtist

Radiator cowl bolts - argggh
Issue I have is they all seem to be at different funky angles. Once you find the sweet spot, starts easily. Important not to force and cross thread as that doesn't end well. Take a break, figure out the angle they're at and you'll be golden! Good luck! ~G- escapefjrtist

Seat
5'-10" ish here with a 31" inseam. I have a Laam seat, narrowed in the front for easier reach to ground. It's still a stretch but workable. IMHO, don't lower the bike. Unless it's done properly, monkeying with the stock geometry destroys the handling. Watch the classifieds for used seats as...- escapefjrtist

Tires That Fit - The List
Helped Panman install a (mis-ordered) 100/90 on his Tenere recently. Works, looks and fits fine and he reports little change in handling. I wouldn't hesitate to use one if it's all that's available. ~G- escapefjrtist

Front auxiliary lights
For US bikes, we have marker lights at the upper left and right of headlight assembly. Are these what you're referring to? These are replaced with 194 LED bulbs if you'd like a whiter light. LEDs are polarity sensitive so check that both work before buttoning everything up. ~G- escapefjrtist
