Hi!
Henrik here from Sweden, didnt even had the time to introduce myself cause im in a hurry ;-)
Im switching bikes from my MT-01 to an adventure bike, cant stand the position/vibrations etc! Anyway!
A dealer nearby has an 2011 Tenere, 1 owner, full history, nice extras, good conditions and i test rode it yesterday, seemed fine. Got a descent price for my MT and this bike is for sale for 9k (which is a good price here in Sweden, not many are for sale and many has twice the milage for the same money)
This example has 11180 miles on it (18000 km) and everything seemed ok, even spoke with previous owner. BUT; yesterday night I found out about the problems with the CCT
Sure it makes alot of noice, but nothing that alarmed me! But should i be worried? Well yes, I guess.. Theese bikes are rarely for sale, and not for this price.. The closest one in price, thats a 2015 is 2 grand more, and a hellova ride away and I dont even know if theyll take my old bike..
Regarding the CCT, if I ask the dealer to change it; would it be "as safe as "an Gen 2?
This is the bike im writing about:

Grateful for any help!
