What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[Bryce]

Installed the OEM top case making sure to use plenty of loc-tite on the 2 screws in the lock.

And now it's been stickered to match the panniers with all reflective stuff. Well, minus the sticker from placed I've been... those will come.

Finished off the mod to the AltRider rear rack that allows the quick-release use of the OEM topbox and found the perfect sized container to fit in the little cavity below the AltRider rear rack.

I bought a new battery, actually Saturday but it was over 4 years old and still cranking the bike just not with authority. $152 bucks and same Yuasa that come in it. All is good now.

"Took my Son 8yo on his first bike ride last night. He loved it and wanted me to take him to school on it this morning, so i did. He was the talk of the yard this morning. ;D Looks like we have another convert! "

Wonder who enjoyed it more you or your son ::008::

Great pictures. Enjoy every minute. I blinked and my both my sons are grown and moved out. Miss them....

:lamp: Replaced headlight bulb and marker light bulb.

The left side marker light had been out for a few weeks. It's a pretty inconsequential part, so I haven't been in a hurry to fix it. Last time it was out, I had the bike at the dealer for the headlight harness recall, so had them replace the marker lamp while they were in the neighborhood. They noted that they didn't have the correct bulb, something like it takes a 3 amp but they only had a 5 amp in stock. Please don't take those values literally. Anyway, I told them to put in what they had, order me the correct bulb, and next time it goes out, I'll replace it.

A few days ago, the left headlight goes out. This is an important part, so I'm in a hurry to fix. Wow, $25 for an OEM light bulb! That's from my usual online discount supplier, RMATVMC. So of course I order 2 because if one goes, the other may not be far behind.

Good news is - changing a headlight bulb is really easy. Bad news is - I make it way more work by having a dash infill panel with close fitting fasteners. This is probably a good candidate for plastic, reusable, rivet type fasteners instead of nuts and bolts.

Now I know why I wasn't in a hurry to replace the marker light bulb. It's way more effort than the headlight. 4 bolts for the headlight fascia plus 4 bolts for the headlight assembly. It's not hard, just a lot of effort for an inconsequential little bulb.

Funny thing I now notice about the lights operation.
Previously - at key on, the marker lamps light while the headlights do not. This makes sense as a safety measure and to reduce electrical load at start up. Then when the engine is running, the headlights come on.
Now - at key on, only the left marker light is on while the right side is not. When the engine runs, both marker and headlights are on. I didn't knowingly touch any lights or wiring harnesses on the right side since those lights were working. This is not a big deal, just curious. Maybe the right marker light is jealous because the left side got a new bulb?

Nice ride Taz, like the red.

Yes I know ... Put the first 700 on the first few days then had to postpone trips I had planned due to family priorities...hopefully will get some rides in soon...the bike really is smoother than my 2013.. Worthy upgrades..

Hey George,

Bring it down to Lewisburg, WV next weekend and we'll let you lead us on a ride..... You've got a good track record from what I remember on the Squirrel Gap Rd.

Like the that color.

I installed Oxford Grip Heaterz an Eastern Beaver 3CS for the grips, heated jacket liner plug and charging plug.

After trying a couple different glues for the grips I ended up using a gel super glue for the left. The throttle side has seemed to have held with the Loctite Go2 Gel after testing out the heat on the grips, it did not hold on the left side.

Next comes the Seat Concepts foam and covers, they should be here for weekend project. ::001::

After 19,500 miles the Touratech Skidplate is retired. Installed ACD!

 

[surfinpig]

Just flashed the ecunleashed. Let's see if this bullshit works out. $450 and I didn't even get a sticker. How bout a shirt or something. Oh Lord I miss carbs!

Did you beat the TT to death? I did an Alt Rider got the ACD now and have had the hammer to it. I don't always take the best lines I do like the ACD coverage and mounting better ::008::

Just installed a set of Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires. Put almost 11k miles on the Metzler Tourance NEXTs. Can't wait for the canyons on Sunday.

I know I found George to be pretty unshakable on a dirt road. I have no doubt he'd be a good ride leader for you Alan anytime schedules would allow it to happen.

Yes, Pummeled on 4 BDR'S and many day rides. It had very little integrity left and a good knock would wrinkle the oil filter.

My ALT has been through some wars and still gets the job done. There has been many time that I couldn't put the side stand down or up.
In Fairbanks this year I couldn't get to one of the drain plugs until Matt and I got real physical with it. I like it though. I can change the oil filter without removing anything.
