Anyone compared the E version with the non-E version. About $40 difference in the tires but have the same load range. Can't see the benefit of the E version considering the Tiger also uses the standard tire with bike weights being similar.

Went to Glacier last week. Camped a couple of nights. Gotta love the Micatech bags, bike is fully loaded with a week of clothes for business trip, tent, sleeping bag, rain gear and camera. Only thing I was wishing for was 7500 less miles on the Tourance EXP. Tire made it home at ~8200 miles...

Took the Super Ténéré out for a 2000 mile spin to my family cabin north of Yellowstone and then off to Galcier NP with Dad on the TW200. It was a tale of 2 Yamaha extremes but the TW put up a good fight for a 200. In case you are wondering the TW can cruse at up to 63 MPH and has a range to...

Been on a quest for the perfect windscreen for some time. Immediately after taking the S10 off the lot I knew the stocker wouldn't work over 20 MPH (seriously the vibrating beak on my XD3 was driving me insane). Started out with a CalSci Med. There was very little improvement over stock for...

So, am I crazy or what. Bought a S10 last summer, have my Multi up for sale, and I turn down a low but not unreasonable offer after a month of no responses. Problem is I am conflicted about selling it. I enjoy riding the darn thing despite the Brembo brakes trying to kill me on occasion (very...

Today I received via e-mail from many vendors I purchase from with advertisements for http://www.advlife.us/home.html a site oriented toward ADV riding, community, products, and services run by RawHyde Adventures. Interested in what you think about the site? Seems like just another way to...

Plaza Cycle to inquire about the recall for the S10. Service desk: You have a what? Me: A Super Tenere, I bought it here, it's a 2012 Yamaha. Service desk: Never heard of one of those. (after looking on the computer he calls a service guy) You heard of a XTZ12? Service Guy: I think we sold...

Need to have my recall done, any recommendations on a shop for service? Looking for a shop with consistently good service.

Great test and I couldn't agree more with their assessment of the Tenere. In the end the extra 45 lbs hurt the Tenere and the GS pulled off the win. They said it was one of the closest tests they have done. Tenere won the following categories: Suspension; Pavement chassis and handling...

Yes I am nitpicking a little but my Micatechs rattle constantly on the SW Motech racks and make the bike sound like a utility truck. I have loosened the mounts on the rack and repositioned them but it only helps for a little while. Need to rubberize the contact points or something. Any...

After months of posting it was time for us Utards to get out and take a bit of a ride. It all started this morning at my house when Twisties and Twistie Wife came over to check out my Electrics and other accessories. So we take a look at my FZ1 Fuzebox, power outlets, Micatech bags Symtec...

Givi Windscreen Overview at RevZilla.com http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-af447-adjustable-windscreen-super-tenere-xt1200z-11 I am very tempted by this. About 2-7" of adjustability, charts say I need somewhere around 4" taller so right in the middle of the adjustment. Seems to work...

Had it since Tuesday and it only has 10 miles on it. Don't know what to do, wife and I are on anti-biotics for "walking pneumonia" :'( and we have a 6 day old little girl to take care of ;D . I suppose I will find some time in the coming week. I hope all of you have your bikes and are...

adventure 2 Haven't read it but watch the teaser.

Details are coming out. Bike looks like an improvement over the existing model but doesn't take the next step. Looks like it will be fairly similar in function to the standard Tiger 800. http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2011/06/suzuki-reveals-full-details-on-the-v-strom-650-abs/

My friend is looking at the f650 and g650 models as he needs a bike of limited elevation O:-) . We're talking with the salesman and he asks what I ride. I say, "a Ducati and have a Tenere on order." "What is a Tenere" he replied. I respond, "it is a Yamaha ADV bike." "I don't speak...

Not sure if you noticed but there is a new American motorcycle in the works. No not another OCC or WCC. Anyway they are displayed in about every magazine this month. Their first bike will be a sport tourer. Looks like a blend of BMW, Ducati, and Moto Guzzi but definitely sounds like American...

Whether your religious or just chasing rabbits, eating chocolate or egg salad sandwiches. Just thought I would say CHEERS to all. Lets lighten the mood around here. Been a bad week or two around here. ;D
