Congrats and wish you well to use and enjoy her.

I have a 23 with just over 3800 odd miles and mine are like new. I don't off-road mine at all and I wipe my whole bike down after each ride, so that is probably a factor in not having my spokes with corrosion.

I mounted my Givi crash bars, I really like them. Next is to get my Garmin XT wired into my bike. Perhaps later this month or early next. I like how they provide protection but are not too big.

That works, thanks!!

Thanks for the info. The thunderbox link is not working. I'll try again later.

Which harness and light control did you install with the lights? I'm also looking at getting a set of these for my ST1200. Did the standard hardware fit onto your crash bars or did you need to purchase some other mounting hardware? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback all, I'll check it out this weekend. TenereGUY, I'll look for your thread to see the pics. Thanks

Hi All, When heading out on my Sun morning ride yesterday, I noticed I had to put a lot more effort into moving the gear shifter with my foot. I've never noticed this before and on my 200 mile ride yesterday, I just rolled over 2K miles. Any suggestion on lubrication I could do to try combat...

My local Yamaha dealer mentioned when shooting the sh^t that they have another ST12 customer who rides 12K miles a year and he swears by them and its the only tire he uses. Personally, my bike only has just over 2K miles on it so still on the OEM tires but I will give these a try when I need...

The cases look great. What size are they? Is it 22 litres? I like the dark shield as it provides some shielding from the sun here in Texas, if riding into it. I also look over the shield and not through it so no impact to riding it at night. Last but not least, it looks good on our grey bikes. :)

I installed the exact same engine guard bars this past Sat. As you said a little finicky but they seem solid and look great on the bike.

On Sat I installed a set of the Givi engine guards on my ST1200. I liked these as they are not too big and still provide good coverage. It took me about an hour and a quarter to install. I'm very happy the way they turned out and look on the bike.

You are totally right, the reason they were the only ones with a bike left to purchase. :)

I purchased my 23 in Sept of 2023. Of the three dealers in my area that sell Yamaha's only one had one ST1200 left. They are not my fav dealer and I don't service my bike there even though they are the closest. They offered me the ST1200 for $15899 which was a good deal, down from the $16299...

Those are BIG panniers. What size are they, litre wise? They do look good.

Are you planning on mounting crash bars? I really like these Givi ones as they are not too big but will protect the bike in the event of a drop. https://giviusa.com/collections/xtz-1200-super-tenere-14-19/products/tn355-engine-guards I am also about to pull the trigger on a Garmin XT for my...

Sorry for delayed response. Yes, my bike is a 2023 model. The racks were $235, which were one of the more economical racks but most importantly, they fit the Backcountry Panniers and they were super easy to install. The set of Backcountry panniers I got on a sale during Thanksgiving for $850...

My racks are the 'standard' Outback Mototek racks which were easy to mount and are super stable and great quality. I then bought the off-set kit from Mosko Moto of Backcountry pannier kit. On the exhaust side its a 25L and on the other side its a 35L. The quality is fantastic and I like how...

Glad to hear it. I won't do my first trip until Mar/Apr to NM so currently only ridden locally with the bags and like them so far, a lot.

Yesterday received and mounted my Mosko Moto Back Country Panniers. The mounting plates to my rack were easy and quick. However, installing the external pockets was a total PIA. A combination of the bags being compressed, rigidity due to being new and needing three hands to get the mounting...
