Jeremy,

Are you ALTRider? If you are, aren't you in Seattle?

 

[Venture]

Wow, what did you have to do to get your hands on that? (Do I want to know?)

 

[JonnyCinco]

i'd like to put in a recommendation for crashbars that mend the bottom of yami's crashbars around the engine with the protection that SW Motech has around the side and tank........


Gazie!

Jeff, I believe you came by to see the bike, didn't you? If not, you're close enough you should definitely swing by.

Guys, we are working around the clock on developing parts for the Super Tenere, and are excited to make these available to you soon.

It won’t be much longer until you’ll be able to pre-order the entire AltRider line for the Super Tenere. If you live outside the US and have already purchased the bike – you may want to hold off until you see what we’ve got in store. Not only are we engineering some strong products, but our in-house design team is ensuring that they really reflect the lines of the bike.

If you want to know what we’ve got coming, check out our blog post about it if you haven't already. And as Jeff mentioned, you can create an AltRider account and sign up for Yamaha specific product news update emails – which means you’ll be notified when we’ve got new stuff coming for your bike.

Here is the first development image of the AltRider Skid Plate for the Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200!

You can read more about it on our product page, or on our blog post about all the parts we’re developing.

We’ll be keeping you updated with pictures of this and other products as we develop them, but we also want to hear from you. What are your thoughts about the new Super Tenere, and what parts do you think it needs most?

First AltRider part for the Super Tenere, now available!

The AltRider Side Stand Foot for the Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200 is now available for purchase!

Like our other side stand feet, the side stand foot for the Super Tenere is made from 1/8 inch stainless steel. It features a 3D design to create traction for your boots, so it’s easy to deploy while still on the bike.

Torx fasteners allow it to clamp down on the actual foot of the side stand, so even after months of use, you won’t have to deal with rattling or stripped fasteners.

This is the first item we have available for this bike, but there are more on the way! You can order the AltRider side stand foot for the Super Tenere XT1200 now, and if ordered before 2 pm Pacific it will ship today.

Second that guy's, whats the score with shipping to the UK?

scuzi, my ignorance...but how do torx fasteners prevent rattling and loosening? should you not still use locktite on these bolts??

You're not wrong JC ... torx fasteners afford a no better method of fixing than any other ...... losh the ol' threadlock on and all will be good.

BTW the AltRider offering looks better than the Touratech one IMO.

thought so...just wondering.....

Yes, we can ship to Europe! Once you add items to your cart on our website, proceed to Checkout -- after you fill in your billing and shipping addresses, the website will automatically calculate your shipping options and the prices.

The Torx fasteners are used to clamp the top piece directly onto the foot of the side stand, while other manufacturers use spacers. When the spacers bend over time, the rattling occurs -- but it isn't an issue with ours.

And in case you were wondering, we include a resealable tube of Loctite with all products that require it for installation, but only on domestic orders (if we shipped it internationally, it could cause problems with customs). We want to make installation on all parts as straightforward as possible.

gotcha....now that makes much better sense...thanks for the clarification

Hey, guys, I just posted my first impressions on riding the Super Tenere... Since I've been getting a lot of questions about this bike, thought I'd answer some of the more common ones in a single place. I'll be updating with more images and video soon -- stay tuned! -- but for now, I need to go ride it some more.
