- Improvements & Fixes
- 2014
- Fixed the side stand (without need of folding footrest) and also it was changed from steel to aluminum to save some weight. They are interchangeable.
- Hazard Flashers
- LED turn signals
- New speedo/instrument panel
- CCT (Cam Chain Tensioner) improvement (2nd time)
- Clutch Basket improvement
- Improved Intake
- Handlebar brush guards are standard equipment
- Drive Mode has been re-calibrated to provide more noticeable difference between the T setting and the S setting.
The windscreen has been redesigned to provide superior wind protection with less wind noise, and the height can be adjusted quickly and easily without tools.A tool-less adjustable windscreen mount has been tacked on to the unchanged windscreen mounts ( Thanks @EricV )The handlebar position has been moved 10mm closer to the rider, and 10mm higher, enhancing comfort.new handlebar risers were added with rubber isolation bushings and these changed the position of the bars by those amounts, relative to the rider, compared to the stock position of the prior model. ( Thanks @EricV )Modest increase in horsepower and torque( Thanks @EricV )- Changed the pistons to lighter weight ones and use thinner rings. Saving rotational mass for hoped for efficiency and maybe an attempt to reduce the Gen I tendency to blow by excessive oil at higher rpms. (Thanks @EricV )
- New ECU mapping (EUROPE models)
- New ES model
- Added infill panel - near right side passenger foot peg
- Adjustable suspension at the push of a button
- Cruise control
- Heated Grips as standard. These were available on all Gen I bikes too as an accessory. The heated grips themselves did change and became standard on ES models in 2014. (still an accessory on Std models at this point.) Gen I heated grips use a separate controller. Gen II heated grips are controlled thru the bikes ECU and dash functions. The grips themselves are the same, though may have different connectors. I never had Gen I factory heated grips, but did have Gen II factory heated grips. (Thanks @EricV )
- 2015
- cam chain tensioner improvements (3rd time). superseded part number. Fully backwards compatible and because it is a superseded part, the older p/ns are no longer in the system. They didn't create a new part for that bike, they changed the part for ALL Super Teneres. So anyone replacing the CCT will get the newest version. It's not like you need to look for a newer bike to get the newer CCT. (Thanks @EricV )
