    Thanks Jeff. Since I asked the question I found long thread where I gained a lot of information. I am now ready to loosen the caps and pull the forks. Hopefully the ES will not cause me too many problems.

    How-to remove es fork tube

    I need to replace the fork seals in my '15 ST1200ES. I have watched the YouTube videos online but they are not for ES models. I have removed the rubber boot on top of the fork tubes but need to buy a tool to remove the x-large cap nuts. Is there a special tool for this or what size are these...

    Yes, all the wiring is accessible under the lower cowl on the right side. you will need to take the blinker control switch assy apart on the handlebar. Depending on which generation your ST is the wiring in the STS instructions may or may not be correct. The best thing to do is look in the...

    What is a high mileage for a Super Tenere?

    I bought my 2015 Super Tenere ES brand new in early '15. I now have about 45K miles on it. I rode BMW K bikes for 25 years and over 200K miles. When my wife quit riding with me and I started Adventure riding I researched all the offerings and decided to go with the Super Tenere ES. I added all...

    A Plug and Play Harness for Installing the Safe Turn System (STS auto self-cancelling) Turn Signal kit

    I posted some pics of my install. The pic with the pvc spacer under my STS module is the one I had clearance issues with. I moved the bundle of wires from my XM radio forward and mounted the module where these coiled up wires were. I will definitely take a look at the foam pads to make sure...

    A Plug and Play Harness for Installing the Safe Turn System (STS auto self-cancelling) Turn Signal kit

    I finally got my STS installed. Thanks to Sparrow Hawkxx for all his help and links. I installed it without the use of a jumper. I simply cut the wire as the instructions call for. I used the bullet connectors provided in the kit. Once I took the dikes in my hand and actually cut the wires it...

    A Plug and Play Harness for Installing the Safe Turn System (STS auto self-cancelling) Turn Signal kit

    Sparrow Hawk, Thank you very much for sharing all this information. I have found the plug with the turn signal wires that need to be cut. According to the information supplied by you I believe the wires on my Gen 2 ST are different colors from the instructions supplied with my STS unit. The...

    A Plug and Play Harness for Installing the Safe Turn System (STS auto self-cancelling) Turn Signal kit

    I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out where the plug is that I need to cut to install my STS. I have removed the upper and lower cowling on my '15 Super Tenere ES and have peeled back the rubber covering on every bundle of electrical plugs I can see. I don't see a plug that looks...

    Electronic Suspension Alert

    They didn't say. I don't think they really know. They just said if it happens again I should be able to delete the code and reset. Sometimes I think the old way without all the modern computer controlled stuff is the best. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/Smileys/DarkB/angry.gif

    Electronic Suspension Alert

    I ended up taking my bike to the dealership. It turns out Gen2 ST's are a little different when it comes to clearing codes. Instead of scrolling to 63 as on Gen1 bikes, you have to scroll to 84 on Gen2 ST's. The tech wouldn't let me watch since the shop is off limits to customers but he said...

    Electronic Suspension Alert

    I went through the procedure for retrieving the diagnostic codes. The code came up DIAG 01 and DATA 14. I have no idea what this tells me. I tried to clear the code but it did not work. Any more suggestions? Any idea what these codes are? Steve

    Electronic Suspension Alert

    I just completed a 13,200 mile adventure ride from my home in Georgia to Alaska (Arctic Circle, Coldfoot) and back on my 2015 Super Tenere ES. This was a 6 week trip. On the last day of the trip I left my ignition switch on while in a restaurant eating breakfast. When I got ready to leave my...

    Sorry Guys, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Just introducing myself and got carried away. Magic, I will look into the suggestions you have given me.
