Installed shorty brake and clutch lever.
They look great although the color is slightly different between both. But once on the bike you can’t tell.
What do you expect for $25 ?

Don't worry in a year they will turn Purple, within two years they will be almost bare aluminum with a vintage patina look. :D
I have a pair of Chines Shorty levers 6500 miles later they still work like new.

rebuilding the water pump on my 2015, small drops of oil coming from the hose, cleaning the air filter hope spring comes soon here in Ontario
OIL! You have more problems than a pump.
If you mean fluid (mine did same) all I did was replace the Kawi fluid to Amsoil brand and it stopped.

Unless he means small drops of oil coming from the drain hose from the air box. The way it is written it is hard to tell.

Sure...got em from Jaxon, Tabasco, here a couple years ago. Uni foam filters that they put on the Tenere in Australia before selling. Karson did a great write up on them.

Thanks, ok now I understand what you mean, those fiters have two parts,
Outer = pre filter
Inner = secondary filter

How do you find those filters, does'nt they choke the airflow compare to the OM filter.

I have small drops of engine leaking from the back side of the water pump coming out the hose, replacing the seals in the water pump
Got ya, hopefully that solves it and it is not somewhere else in the engine.

I was able to take advantage of a break in the weather and installed my freshly flashed ECU from (Anthony)avc8130. Definitely is the bang for your buck that everyone claims........smooth and quick. S mode runs like scalded cat and T mode similar to the old S but smooth. I'll have to retrain my right wrist to get use to the smooth transitions. Very happy customer.

Yesterday I rode it to the Atlanta Motorcycle show. Scary show, but good excuse to take the bike out .
Today I finished assembling the legendary Harbor Freight tire changer and build some wooden “Mojoblocks” to protect my rims.

some pressure treated 5/4 x 6 scrap wood, slightly honed and cut to size. I may pull an old bicycle tube over it to prevent slipping

I ordered a Delkevic 14” carbon fiber exhaust for my ride! Have been in contact with someone regarding a Bestem carbon fiber exhaust shield also. Hopefully I have both fairly quickly so I don’t have to hide my new canister under that hideous OEM shield.

WOW, I just rode Indyrider 's 2014 Tenere with a flash , then rode my unflashed 2012 and I can say that the ECU flash by avc8130 is super sweet. Thanks to Indyrider for letting me do this. Looks like its time to pop the ECU off.

Great idea! I have four tires to do in the next few weeks and ought to make some of those blocks.

Quality time in the garage during hibernation.

My bike have been hibernating for a couple of month now, and there is still at least a month until it leaves the garage again. This doesn't mean that I can't spend quality time with my steed :)

Besides the regular winter TLC I decided to add a few items to the bike this year, so today I mounted Givi crash bars and a Givi ST602 tank bag.

The crash bars were easy to install - everything line up nicely. It feels like a quality product.


The main reason for acquiring a tank bag was to have an easy accessible place to store my new camera. It fits nicely in the bag. As a side note my Moto G5 Plus fits perfect in the phone pocket, even with a rugged cover fitted.




Another thing to mention - I checked the front brake pads a few days ago. It's the OEM pads my bike came with.They have done +64.000 km.
To my surprise they were still fine. They had between 2.8 and 3.2 mm left, so not even half worn ???
