    Welcome from the Northside of Denver (Longmont)! This forum is phenomenal for supporting everything Super Tenere related.

    Getting my daily commuter ready for 2024 OBDR season, tires and racks pending…

    I'm running Dunlop Trailmax Missions on the Super Tenere. They are great tires but have shortcomings when conditions off-road get bad. I wanted to use my Super Tenere for touring and light offroad. If I still lived in PDX, the TMM would be the perfect tire for the PNW, especially commuting. For...

    Just wow!

    Sadly, I think Yamaha will do the US dirty and never sell the awesome T7 variants hitting the rest of the global market. Personally, I would be very interested in the T7 Extreme because I don't need the extra fuel capacity (weight) of the World Rade version but want the upgraded suspension.

    Fall Ride - September 2022

    I don't know if I have ever been on those roads. Is that all out past Deckers?

    Getting my daily commuter ready for 2024 OBDR season, tires and racks pending…

    I did the ORBDR last summer on my KTM 690. The Super Tenere would be the better option for most of the ride, especially for the pavement down to the start. I loved Sections 1-2, but there were a few places where I was stoked to be on the smaller 690, specifically during the miles of relentless...

    S10 Hella3 conversion

    I think @garremmash has installed standalone Hella LED projectors similar to this.

    S10 Hella3 conversion

    I would love to see a video or picture of the light output post-modification.

    ECU removal instructions?

    Not required, or at least with 2WDW you tell them what you have modified (if anything), then they do the tune for that level of modification.

    Best Fork Upgrade Solution for $

    The first time I re-sprung my 690, I went with my weight plus my gear, and it turned out to be oversprung. The bike was only really happy when fully loaded with my extra camping gear. I'm about to re-spring the 690 a second time, and I went with the K-Tech method.

    WTB AltRider Lower and Upper Crash Bars

    FYI, I have had great experience reaching out to Altrider for all of the mounting hardware when I bought a used kit. They stock everything and will sell/ship it to you at a great price.

    Day three is going to be an awesome ride! Thanks to @SkunkWorks for pulling this all together. I'm stoked for this adventure.

    S10 v GS 1300 (or 1200)

    Yeah the HP2 was a sales flop, too expensive and too extreme.

    S10 v GS 1300 (or 1200)

    There are rumors that BWM is going to bring back the HP2 Enduro, which is exactly the bike you are describing.

    If a sub-group was feeling extra spicy, the alternative route back to camp over Cumberland Pass (Easy) and Tincup Pass (Hard) could be an option. It's been a few years since I was over Tincup, but it's on the extreme edge of what I want to take a big ADV over. For reference, it used to be a...

    Motoz Tractionator GPS Issue

    I hate to say it, but I have seen too many posts where Motoz tires have this "dry rot" issue. I am 99% sure I can go into my garage and find cracks similar to the ones in your bottom picture on my bike right now. Unfortunately, it seems like there is an issue with their rubber compound. Motoz...

    Side Stand Turn

    I do this all the time with my 690. It's amazing once you hit the balance point; the bike will pivot with nearly no effort. I am 90% sure this is also why my side stand bends at a strange angle on my 690. I've tried to pull this off with the Super Tenere a few times in the garage, but I have...

    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    29-days... So jealous!

    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    I tend to pack lighter than the average rider. For most adventures, I would downsize to just the panniers and nothing on the pillion racks.
