Sierra1 said:I consider my vehicle maintenance to be more than adequate. But I have NEVER lubed a shift or brake pivot on any of my current/past bikes. Is this just a Tenere thing? Because if it's an "every bike" thing I feel real stupid. That being said, I have NEVER had ANY shifting problems. And I will be lubing the Tenere.
Just take normal Grease to gear linkage ..... silicone for leversGrumpy said:Is silicon grease the recommended lube for the gear change linkage?

Others, of course did and early on the remedy was discovered.
I'm betting it's more prone in some environmental conditions than others.
But the complaint is about par for the course for Tenere threads compared to the other make\model threads.
I'll have you know this Texican lives in TROPICAL Texas, not the stereotype West Texas with its tumbleweeds. ::013::Checkswrecks said:Totally agree. We and the UK get lots of wet crappy weather, while you Texicans stay dry.
