Are they Heidenau's?
Hi Stutrump. No they are Mitas E07 on the replacements and I think Karoo 3 originals.
The E07 Are a well rated tyre on here for 50/50 on/off road. I’m probably using them on the Tenere Exp and the TD both in Wales.

I bought this bike used. I really liked the Mitas on my last bike. They are quiet on the tarmack and bite pretty good on the dirt.

Today I fitted a 2015 kick stand onto my 2013 Tenere.

I sometimes have a problem getting the side stand down when I'm wearing my Adventure boots. I know the gen 2 has an upgraded stand over the gen 1.

I havn't tried it out on the road or with my boots on but I am confident it is an upgrade. the much larger lever? on the stand to help with lowering the stand really helps and I think the newer gen 2 is a fraction longer than the original improving the lean angle on the stand a little.

And if anyone is wondering it is a simple swap with the exact same fittings on both stands.

Doing some maintenance and checking connectors.
Can anybody tell me how to remove this panel? I have the two screws on the side but can’t figure out what’s holding the middle and I only have a 2012 Service Manual and this part is new.

Doesn’t seem like it but it’s just press fit into there. Use some steady upward pressure and it will pop off. Don’t go crazy though.

I'm sure I had to remove the small piece was the Yamaha logo on it first and there was a fixing behind that.

Thanks! Always slightly nerve-racking when you tug on plastic, hoping it will come off without cracking.

Installed an Altrider rear rack to replace the Givi one I had on the bike. The Altrider one moves the top box back further to make more room for a passenger. My custom seat done by Laam Custom Seats arrived today as well as my new Givi Outback panniers to replace the Yamaha ones that came on the bike. Now they match the Givi top box I bought last summer. I am still waiting for the parts to arrive so I can install Yamaha heated grips. I also picked up a set of Piaa driving lights that I will install at the same time as the grips. That way I only have to mess with the wiring once.
