Hello
I am aiming at purchasing a newish Tenere. There seems to be many low mile 2013+ models available. Most of my previous bikes were dirt bikes and more recently a Vstrom 1000. Did all my own maintenance because dirt bikes are fairly simple and the Vstrom never had major issues. I did however replace the clutch basket and plates on my Vstrom and that's at the extreme of my mechanical abilities. Don't ever want to do anything like that myself again.
I want the Tenere because of the bike it is and also it's known reliability. But, I don't want to do the major service items beyond oil changes. So, when the time comes for the valve check/adjust, what shop or specific mechanic do my fellow Arizonans trust?
Apologies if this has been covered before - couldn't find it. Send me down the road to the link if it exists.
Thanks!
