What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Reveille]

Care to elaborate?

Maybe a mini bar

 

[pirnie]

Installed black Yamaha bags, taller wind screen and wind deflectors. Madstad bracket and Yamaha heated grips on order.

Just installed Altrider crash bars on mine.

Easy install and soooo solid. Very nice piece of kit.

Never too late to get to the party.

Now go back and read everything you read BEFORE you caved in. Sound different now?
How could we have been any clearer? I ask because we still aren't convincing to a few. Lol

Seriously though, I'll give one WHOOHOOO for you!

It truly, truly, truly transforms the bike. The ONE thing about the Tenere I had an issue with was its pep - now my uber-low-weight/über-high-horsepower-bike days are done - especially for my primary ride, so I wasn't looking for a rocket or I never would've bought this bike. BUT! I genuinely enjoy this bike more now than I ever thought I could've. The flash is simply tits!

And ain't going nowhere anytime soon - I've never said that about any bike after nearly two years of ownership. It was like getting an all-new motorcycle, and when I get around to changing out suspension parts here in the near future, I'm willing to bet I'll get that feeling all over again. What a machine.

Oh, and my fuel mileage (by the display) went up considerably as well - somewhere along the lines of 5-6 MPG...

Still gathering info on the ECU re-flash. What exactly did you end up with, all GEN 2 or a combination?

I went off and splurged on an expensive pair of LED running lights, a total of $13! One of my favorite easy-to-do mods thus far!

 

[tomatocity]

Rode it to IMS San Mateo. Also crossed the new Bay Bridge.

 

[Ticeman2]

Put exactly 5.8 gallons of gas in it and rode it like I stole it.

Does the rear brake fluid protection keep muck and grunge fromt getting up behind the reservoir? Ive noticed that to be a problem on my Super Ten. Have seen the Hepco a& Becker version, which is a plate that mounts back there and looks like it would definitely fix that issue.

Also interested in how you like the headlight protector. I haven't seen the OEM version....am weighing that style vs. the 'grill' type that other manufacturers are offering.

After 600mls of pure off road stuff, I can tell you that the headlight protection saved my headlights, more than once. Riding fast behind a bunch of lunatics can be dangerous. I have two bruises on my biceps area from the roost... You imagine what was happening in the front. Grill vs plexi... Matter of taste I guess.
I noticed few marks on the hydraulic fluid protection. Probably from the rear tire. Mud was everywhere.
I hope I helped you.

Took it for a nice local ride this afternoon, and found a few backroads I had not been on before.

Love this bike!

Finished adding the aftermarket bling/farkles and took her to the West desert to finish the break-in miles.
I had some choices:

I chose dirt.

One can really get flying out there. Some pleasant surprises:

:lamp: Stability/planted feeling is far better on this motorcycle than a 12GS. Least for me.
:lamp: Tourance EXPs performed much better than expected off-pavement. Nonetheless, I've got some Mitas and Karoo 3 rubber downstairs waiting to go on. I think Mitas will bring it all home.
:lamp: TC Off is nice.

Got my seat back from Bill Mayer Saddles.

Really like the basket weave ...

Thanks again Rocky and crew!

I got tired of the windshield wellnuts getting chewed up everytime I moved them, so I picked up an extra batch. I now have a nut in every hole, so I can move my windshields to any position. With the air getting cool here, I have the stock shield back on, in the highest position. Still get some buffeting, but it's not too bad. One of these days, I'll get the wind wings and a Parabellum...
