What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Davesax36]

Today I started to wonder whether a low fuel level could possibly be associated with longer cranking before the bike comes to life. Like the fuel system won't let the ignition system fire the plugs until it makes and maintains a certain pressure. It's probably just a cold start thing, but I swear it only needed one revolution to catch after I got gas.

Also I rode around for a while. What a nice machine this is.

I doubt it. You should always allow the pump to come to full pressure before starting. The fuel height pressure difference between a full tank and low tank would be minuscule compared to the pump pressure. Fresh fuel Vs stale fuel maybe?

I've always waited for the ignition cycle on power up to finish before attempting to start the bike. I've also never experienced the hard start issue reported here.

A couple of days ago I managed to flood it :. I left it over night, but still no joy, just the odd burble from the RH pot. I did the WOT and kill switch on starts, but just kept smelling up the garage with gas fumes. I was thinking that I would have to get the plugs out when I remembered reading somewhere on here about pulling the FI fuse. A dozen or so spins without the pump, fuse back in and bingo, first push of the start button. Took 5 minuts, but better than getting to the plugs.

I always wait as well. I'm used to waiting on the Vmax to finish its cycle as well. I think I'll just wait for new battery time and go with the Ytz14s.

Ride to work first time this year. And must not have ridden the S10 much since October since it is still DST on the clock!

Swapped out the clutch basket for the '14 version and installed a mcct. All went well (thanks to all the info and pics on the forum) and the bike is running a lot smoother and quieter.

Put the battery back in since it was 50+* in Illinois. Cut a small rut in the yard from the shed in the back to the front. Aired up the tires and went for a ride, testing out the new Olympia Ranger jacket I got for Christmas, and the like new Rev'it Poseidon pants I got for my birthday. It's all good. Nice to be riding when there is still snow in the ditches. Like Big Bob, I do need to reset the clock. Moved my car out and parked it in the garage. Want to do a TB synch soon.

Finally getting close to finishing the man-nook..

I rode mine down into Missouri yesterday to meet up with two guys riding 1150s to the Arctic Ocean this summer. Love talking to real riders [Even BMW ones]

This was a mess to clear out. Larger drain holes in the very near future.

Wish I took pictures of mine, it was completely blocked and siting in water and I believe that's what screwed up my ABS unit back in 2013. I drilled extra holes and larger than the original.

Just installed the Oxford heated grips. They work very nice! I used the air compressor trick to take off the OEM grips. That little trick was ridiculously effective. For the price the Oxford are a steal compared to the OEM grips.

Looks great, what are those extra lights mounted to ?

I drain the fuel from my S10 and disconnected the battery. Getting ready to ship her to Hawaii

Wired up my LED driving/Halo lamps from Great Whites. Halo running lights wired always on when bike is running. Main beams triggered by relay off of high beams.
