Added right-side panel "Spring Plate" - part # 5PW-2177L-00-00 - as suggested by LDRyder.
This is the plate that the quarter-turn dzus-style fasteners screw into for the right-side battery/electrical panel.
For the record, the Yamaha-recommend factory oil filter - part # 5GH-13440-20 - for the Super Tenere measures 2.631" (66.83mm) on my precision digital caliper. This is what is commonly referred to as the "short" filter.
The "long" Yamaha filter, of which one of the part #"s is 3FV-13440-00, measures out on my digital caliper at 2.851" (72.43mm)
Please note you should *ALWAYS* measure for clearance on your *OWN* bike for filter fit with whatever skidplate, etc. *YOU* use. Many aftermarket brand filters have different overall lengths than the Yamaha filters, and there is *NO* way I can possibly go out and purchase an example of each and every brand of filter listed, then measure it. I have to go with various manufacturers crossover listings, so remember the list is a *GUIDELINE*, not the definitive final answer for any aftermarket part. As I state at the bottom of the original post:
"Mind you, this is most definitely *NOT* the "be all, end all" list of things for the bike, and I didn't post it to start any debates or "oil threads", etc.... It's just a place to start, and there are certainly lots of other chemicals, etc. that will work as well as those on this list. This is just based on some factory recommended items, items I have found to work well over the years, recommendations from people and places I trust, etc., and the list will evolve and change as my time with the bike goes on. Again, it's just something I do with all my bikes, and I have to start somewhere."
I tried to compile this list in an attempt to help Super Tenere owners. Please feel free to use it as a guideline, but remember you really should check how items from the list work with your own bike, particularly when there might be some sort of clearance issue involved.
As an example, Mobil 1 makes two oil filters that are supposed to interchange with the Yamaha "short" and "long" filters, but I have one of each here in my hand, and neither measures exactly the same length as the Yamaha filters. for reference they measure, on the same calipers, as follows:
Mobil 1 M1-108 - 2.566" (65.19mm)
Mobil 1 M1-110 - 3.383" (85.92mm)
As you can see there is a considerable difference in size between the Yamaha filters and these Mobil 1 brand ones. I have been informed there may be a difference in the length of the Bosch filters as well,, so as you can see you need to be careful when using different filters if you have a tight-fitting skidplate. So please, please, please... measure, measure, measure... to make sure you won't run into problems with things like this.
Hope this helps!
