Hello guys, new owner of a 2012 Super Tenere here!
I'm originally from Colombia, I'm 31 years old, and have been riding for almost 20 years, most of which has been on small displacement bikes (50cc -150cc). And I currently own a 2021 Versys 650
Yesterday I brought home a beautiful 2012 Super10. The only issue with is... the rear shock was at least partially destroyed by the previous owner. (From what I can tell the the shock sheared the mounting bracket that connects to the linkage)
This will obviously be a project for me, but the previous owner assured me that this happened while trying to unload the bike without a ramp from a U-haul. The bike looked really good, it started and sounded ok, and she can "power walk/crawl"... so I assumed that the engine and transmission were in working condition.
I think I should be able to tackle this on my own, it looks like only the linkage and the shock would need replacement...
Hopefully I won't bore you out with the questions you already know that will be coming
Obligatory picture of the bike:
