I will stall it in "T", 99% of the time. Never in "S". There is no lag in "S".…,I'm sad to admit having stalled it more than once accelerating from a stop....

Maybe I should take it to a dealer then but I know what they will say the same old bullshit.A flash will eliminate those issues.
You must have something done to yours.Maybe something is broken, 'cuz my '17 runs like a scalded ass ape. From idle on up. I can release the clutch as I'm giving it gas, and the front wheel will lift. Not by dumping the clutch, pure throttle. And, if I'm just putting around, using the clutch is just an option. The throttle is so smooth, I just back off of the throttle, up shift, throttle back on. I DO always use the clutch for down shifting though.
A dealer won't flash it, search this site for AVC's flash.Maybe I should take it to a dealer then but I know what they will say the same old bullshit.
I rode the Triumph Explorer as a demo for 150mls and the throttle was awful. Over bumps it was difficult to control and would jump forward. It was way to light for me. I would imagine its almost unrideable off road. I dont get that with the S10 i find it very controlled.I know they won’t but if I would take it in saying the throttle has poor response they’ll spew bullshit to me.
Nope, I'm too cheap to get anything done. But, I like it exactly like it is though.You must have something done to yours.
You must have had great star alignment when you purchased. You got very lucky.Nope, I'm too cheap to get anything done. But, I like it exactly like it is though.
Hey, let us spew BS to you first!I know they won’t but if I would take it in saying the throttle has poor response they’ll spew bullshit to me.
That was MY point; apparently I didn't articulate it correctly. In MY opinion, there is nothing wrong with the throttle. I will agree that it does not act/work like any other bike that I've ridden....but it didn't take me long at all to adapt to it.Spend money on a Flash to get a throttle working properly?
What a joke!
Define low rpm shifting response. At what rpms are you shifting and describe what bothers you.
I'm in agreement to adapt to what I have before spending money on a "reflash".That was MY point; apparently I didn't articulate it correctly. In MY opinion, there is nothing wrong with the throttle. I will agree that it does not act/work like any other bike that I've ridden....but it didn't take me long at all to adapt to it.

Now getting back to the OP's original question: SPOKES!! IMHO those are the number one issue with these Super Tenere. Regardless of year or model. At almost 4000 miles my spokes are still bedding in after almost every ride. I'm automatically checking and tightening them even after short rides of less than a few hundred miles. My last 150 mile ride of mixed pavement and dirt I found 3 loose in the front and 6 loose in the rear. It's ridiculous!!
A buddy of mine who has a Super Tenere has warned me of this issue well before I got the bike. I’m just learning to do it as part of my post ride checks. I might add that just pinging the spokes is not a good way to check. I go around the wheel with a torque wrench and tighten everything to spec. I treat these spokes just like any other dirt bike wheel I have over the years.Wow your spoke issues sound very serious .
I must be a slow throttle learner after 50+ years.That was MY point; apparently I didn't articulate it correctly. In MY opinion, there is nothing wrong with the throttle. I will agree that it does not act/work like any other bike that I've ridden....but it didn't take me long at all to adapt to it.
I don’t have any loose after 8000 miles.I remember when I started reading about loose spokes, and make sure to check them. I went out, and started tapping on them. I didn't, and still haven't, find any loose ones. Now, they all "ting" at different pitches, but there has never been the "thud" that I was advised to listen for. When they mounted my A-41's, I asked them to double check MY checking; all fine. Does it make a difference with pavement versus dirt? Mine IS a pavement princess, but some of our pavement is crap. Or am I just lucky?
It’s a good bike for the price.I’ve had three S10,s, with a total of 90,000 miles, and never had a loose spoke. I have never had a break down. Fueling has been great. All the power I need. I like the bike exactly like it comes, guess thats why I keep buying them.
That comment was directed toward the manufacturer and not an individual.That was MY point; apparently I didn't articulate it correctly. In MY opinion, there is nothing wrong with the throttle. I will agree that it does not act/work like any other bike that I've ridden....but it didn't take me long at all to adapt to it.
