I bought a 2014 Super Tenere because it is the best choice for 2up travel to S America for people with average short legs (31 inseam). So far my research was correct and I am happy with the choice...though a 650 Vstrom could have worked if we were not so heavy and loaded (I had a 2007 and rode...

My 2014 Super Tenere likes premium here in Mexico...I filled with 2 tanks of regular Pemex gas and 2up with alot of gear under moderate load I heard predetonation...a light knocking sound from the engine. It went away if I backed off or shifted up. All other fill ups here have been with...

Thanks you! Someone posed pics on ADVrider for me showing the bend...so its is normal....thank god! The trip continues after a hopefully long layover in San Miguel de Allende Mexico. Cheers! Carl and Kathleen

We are in San Miguel de Allende Mexico and this morning I noticed that the right rear subframe aluminum strut was not straight sighting down it from the rear. There is a bend between the passenger footpeg and the lower forward bolt location. Can someone plaese look at their Super Tenere and...

Paid $13,150 for my non ES...no extra fees other than tax and Lic....in Washington state. Now in Baja headed south.

No...my Jesse top box came with everything and eliminates the plastic stuff with rugged steel structure. I appears to bolt directly to the subframe. Seems as strong as possible...note it is heavy though as the strucure is steel and the plate is a big alloy plate. Anyone know where I can get a...

Mounted Jesse 45L top box and rack. Bomb proof construction and heavy. Everything needed to mount top box on ST included. easy job. But box crowds pillion...going to drill new holes and move aft 4". Anyone know of source of foot extender for 2014 alloy kickstand...old model does not fit.

Need to buy spare spokes for trip in 2 weeks to S America Can anyone sell me a couple of each size...we are heavily loaded 2up on a new 2014 ST......we can Paypal or whatever...really scared of not having these as spares. I live in Anacortes WA and will be headed down the I5 corridor to Baja...

Leaving in 2 weeks for the Baja and C and S America.....new 2014 YST and we are 2up with gear. I dont feel comfortable traveing without a set of spare spokes in all 3 sizes. Can anyone sell me 2 of each size. Paypal or will pick up in Seattle area. Think it is better to be safe than sorry...

Does anyone strain their fuel before putting in tank. We did this for years on our sailboats diesel tank and saved us alot of issues. Seems I saw a strainer that mounted in the fuel filler neck...like a sock. If you are getting fuel from a questionable source seems like cheap insurance...

I was planning to buy a new 2014 Super Tenere non ES but they are scarce here in Washington state...especially for a good winter discount price (like around 13k otd). There are lots of ES available though and discounting has started. We are 2 up and 500 lbs total with gear so need a much...

We are going 2up to S America from WA state...total load about 500+ lbs. The ES spring, if its anything like the standard, will be much too soft for this load and it will eventually bottom repeatedly on crappy roads...eventually destroying itself...probably in Bolivia...with an expiring Visa...

Can you tell us why this will not fit your 2014 Yamaha Super Tenere. Is it because you have ES or is it a size issue,

Thanks...I agree but the Yacutur Shock is a Hyprepro and can be had with a linear spring and the same (better) remote adjuster the Touratch shocks come with 15mm adjustment. Can you tell me what the advantages of linear vs progressive is for very heavy 2 up 3rd world riding? All those that...

I do not disagree with the comments here but for our heavy load and the remote locals in S America we are going we will be better served with a non ES bike. Remember the YES warentee does not work outside of the USA. The Super Tenere is built like a tank and ideally suited for 2up...

We are going to buy a 2014 non ES because we are 2 up to S America with over 500 lbs of rider/cargo weight. I don't think the ES rear suspension is up to the task and so will be replacing with a robust Yacatur steel bodied rear shock and 1000 lb spring. It is possible you could replace the...

OEM Battle Wing tires 2up how many miles to expect? We are 2up to C America on a new 2014 YSTenere (non ES)....we plan to buy new tires in Guatemala City (K60) which means we will need at least 5000 miles on the OEM Battlewings. Anyone else ride 2up on this tire? Will we get 5,000 miles...

I am shopping for a new 2014 non ES Super Tenere when I return to the USA next month in the Seattle area. I see there are deals on this bike and wondered if the rear shock can be upgraded to a heavy duty Yacugar or Hypepro with a 1000 lb spring on the ES also for a 2up trip to C/S America...

Good idea on a forum.....OK...I'll start. When I depart the USA I will be on the new Battlewing tires that came on the new 2014 ST I am going to buy in Seattle. We are 2 up so expect signigicant tire wear. Tires will probably be shot by the time we reach Panama 3500 miles after Seattle. So...

Great news as I am buying a 2014 non ES as soon as I hit Seattle after years in Afghanistan as a contractor...then to Altrider for protection and a month later to Mexico 2up. Any idea how much ground clearence you lose on the 2014 version as I will have to negotiate thousands of topes down...
