I guess my bike is the only good running tenere out there. Never touched a thing, 55,000 miles. Runs strong at 45 mpg all day with my fat ass on it. Guess i should get my valves checked and change the air filter and spark plugs. I thought these bikes are suppose to be bullet proof?
All sarcasm aside, i think the engine braking is high on these bikes and it creates a little jerkiness if you are less that perfect with your throttle control. I thought about a flash just for that until i spent a week on steep roads. Then I appreciated the downhill control that same braking gave me. I would never want less now. It is an excellent off road tool. If i was not gonna do much off road, then i might think about it, but i seem to be doing more and more off road these days.
