Wow, thanks for this, I had no idea what anything outside of the fuse boxes was as they are not labeled. I'll check that fuel injector system fuse when I get back out there.
You're welcome. I keep that fuse diagram on my phone, just in case. It came in handy a while back when I blew the headlight fuse. It wasn't easy to see that it was blown, so if I'd pulled every fuse and looked at it, they would have all seemed good. But since I knew which one was for the headlights, I changed it, and the lights worked again. I couldn't tell for sure the fuse was bad til I got home and looked at it with a magnifying glass.

Greetings from Canada
Thanks
Hopefully you will have better luck today !
I experienced the no start issue with my previous 2013 Tenere twice, fortunately it happened at home in my garage.
I was never able to be sure what actually caused the no start issue on my 2013.

So far after 46,000 miles it has never happened to my 2018 Tenere, I do carry a jump pack now just in case.
I did! It's running now. Solution is in the reply to RCinNC
There's a fuel injector system fuse in the right side upper fuse panel. It's in position 4.

Thank you! Thank you! It was number 3 in the fuse box, Electronic Throttle Valve Fuse. 7.5 amp visibly burnt out. Put a good one in it and it fired right up. My working theory is it happened due to cranking with very low voltage (approx. 7.8 volts) Drop in voltage creates a nearly equal increase in amperage. NOTE TO SELF: Never attempt to start Super Tenere on less than fully charged battery. Thanks again.

It's on my phone now too!
