    ADVMonster LED Headlight Bulb

    Thanks for the replies. I believe the 4,800 lumens is supposed to be from one unit that has two LED emitters on it. Although I just read it again and the description talks about a high and low beam, so something is not right with the description. Yes, I see they are out of stock and I don't...

    ADVMonster LED Headlight Bulb

    Has anyone tried this http://stores.advmonster.com/h7-r3-led-headlight/ H7 LED bulb? I would like to go to an LED headlight, but I haven't found any information on this product's use on a Tenere. It is a rather unique design, using a mesh heatsink protruding out of the back. I see it also...

    Crash Pivoted Gear Shifter Straight up

    Thanks for the info. I rode to work today and it seems fine. Other than the shift rod being very slightly bent I got off easy. Fortunately no sign of any leaks either. The shifter with the folding toe piece sounds like a great idea.

    Crash Pivoted Gear Shifter Straight up

    Thank you for the response. As active as this forum is, I was wondering why there were no responses. There is so much knowledge out there. You are correct about diagnosing a sound. I wasn't really asking whether my transmission was damaged. More is it normal to be able to hear it turning...

    Crash Pivoted Gear Shifter Straight up

    Can someone advise if they can hear a noticeable noise, like gears turning, when in neutral? It stops when the clutch lever is depressed. I am sure some noise is normal, but after jamming the gearshift I am wondering if something is damaged. Thanks

    Crash Pivoted Gear Shifter Straight up

    I managed to drop the bike in a low speed crash when the rear end slipped into a muddy rut again. I need to stay away from those things because it is exactly how I did it last time. This time it took the kick stand spring off and rotated the gear shifter upward to about 12 o'clock...

    Sidi adventure boots "Rain" or "Gore-Tex"?

    I can't speak for the Rain model, but I really like the Gore-Tex one. Aside from the squeaking when I walk. It is more noticeable indoors where it is quiet. I purchased them through motorama.it https://www.motorama.it/en/sidi-adventure-gore-boots-P5716.htm. They are currently $325.35 and no...

    No where to put your phone

    I got a RAM X-Griphttp://www.rammount.com/products/x-grip and have never had a problem with it. I also added a Webgrip http://www.gpscity.com/texel-webgrip-black.html to go with it because better safe than sorry. Cell phones aren't cheap. I have not had a chance to try it yet though. Not...

    Infantry farewell

    That was a wonderful showing of respect and support. I would imagine it was also helpful for his comrades to be able to vent some of their emotions for his loss. It is heart wrenching to watch. I can empathize with their pain. LOD deaths are especially painful.

    Front Fender Crack

    Somehow I managed to crack my front fender. I am not sure how I did it, but am suspecting maybe a rock was picked up by the front tire. Not sure if that is possible, since I am still running the stock tires. I noticed it after returning for a fairly long ride on some gravel Forest Service...

    Rubber grommet under rear rack behind pillion seat

    I believe this will answer your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEqJsfoodfs. I ran into this video somehow after I routed a wire through that grommet for an additional tail/brake light. I guess I won't be using the luggage rack in the lowered position now. I had no idea the rack...

    LEDRider LR40 LED Lights

    I don't remember if I was searching for LED MC Aux lights or if I first heard about them on advrider. There is a fair amount of chatter about their products over there. Kind of wondering why there doesn't seem to really be anything about LEDRider over here. Their vendor thread on advrider...

    LEDRider LR40 LED Lights

    Has anyone mounted a pair of these lights (LR40s) http://ledrider.com/shop/?model_number=LR3540 tucked up under the headlight? I was thinking of using the PIAA bracket http://www.piaa.com/store/p/401-Yamaha-Super-Tenere-Sport-Touring-Bracket-Kit.aspx to mount them. The LR40s are slightly...

    2014 ES pdf manual for sale???

    I checked with my dealer about getting one. He told me Yamaha is now only providing them to dealers, with the dealer's name embedded in it, due to issues with the file finding its way out of the dealerships. I can understand why they are doing that, but it would be nice to be able to purchase...

    Givi Trekker Outback side cases

    Yes, you can switch them out. I ordered the same setup from Motostorm.it along with the 3 lock set. The lock parts just came in a plastic bag for DIY installation. The lock cylinders are fairly easy to change out. Several small phillips screws from the inside of the case to remove the locks...
