I took possession of a new 2014 Tenere ES model.................serial number 18!
Moved my skid plate, engine guards and Rigid LED's from my 2013 over to the new bike with just a slight mod for the engine guard. Seems Yamaha put a wind deflector under the chin of the fairing and it interferes with the brace used to stabilize the top rail of the guard. Likely Yamaha will tell you to remove the new deflector when installing the factory part.............but...........I used a cutoff tool and made a slot for the bracket.
Now to the issue.....................bags..............panniers................whatever you want to call them. On the ES model (and I don't know about the standard), they have relocated the rear brake reservoir up just under the seat and there is also a new canister of some type just in front of that. Over both of those is a new cover and it seems to interfere with the current bag mounts available on the market and no one seems to have a resolution as of yet. I purchased the Givi Trekker Outback bags and mounts and can attest that they do not fit with the ES model. They have been sent back to the manufacturer and apparently Givi will be in engineering mode for several months to make a mount for the bike. Shame as the bags are first class.
Attached are pictures to illustrate:
Bag01: Shot showing how the mount interferes with the master cylinder (black plastic cover removed)
Bag02: Closer shot of the same
Bag03: Picture of the cover back over the reservoir and box
Bag04: Picture of my 2013 for reference with the area where these parts are located being void of any items
Now...............anyone know of anybody that has a solution? I really want to get out on the road with the bike and need a way to pack some provisions.
SWMotech?
Moose?
I won't buy Touratech.
Thanks
