I agree with AC and Jaeger.
it is an ignorant process for the most part. The biggest failing is the cam chain tensioner. This can be worked around with a second pair of hands, or jaeger's trick. The 13mm socket and wrench works as well.
Otherwise not terrible.
my dl1000 was a pain to get to the valves, but once in there, it was dead easy, especially because of the gear driven cams.
The Tenere is easy to get at, up to the valve cover, and after that a PITA. But doable.
If you have a trusty mechanic, pay him.
I'm off to play with some easy stuff. Rigid e series, with Skeena dimmer and 3 way switch.
