Really looking forward to getting this. Have money down on a new 2018 S10ES. Just waiting for the roads get better when I'm off work. Here in Mn. That might be a couple more weeks. Coming from cruisers, told my wife I needed this for my retirement bike!
I'm with you 1Steve, I am patiently awaiting the arrival of spring. I'm just north and east of London Ontario (Canada). Depending on where you are located in Minnesota, I may be south of where you live.
Warmer weather is forecast for this coming week, hoping all of the snow and ice disappears.
Now, I bumped into one of my rider friends and he gave me a reminder to go slow in the turns and corners because there is a lot of residual sand and salt on the roads!
I'm hoping to take delivery of my new 2018 ES (blue colour) by April st.
I bought a set of SW Motech crash bars and two very strong LED lights for extra day time visibility along with a set of Piaa mounting brackets and all of the wires, switch and connectors that I will need to mount the lights.
Tubeless tyres....yaaaahh! In addition, I'm mounting a 12 volt socket outlet either on the handlebars or possibly on the crash bars to power a small electric air pump I bought at Walmart for $20. A fused connection directly off the battery will be installed to provide sufficient amperage to run the pump. Don't use the socket that comes with the bike as it, I believe is fused at only 2 amps.
I've been riding an Africa Twin for the past two seasons and loved the bike, but it was about to turn 30,000 KM so I traded it for the Tenere. Expecting a little more comfort, no chain to lube every day. I don't do off road riding, so although the Ten will off road I just want a comfortable cruiser without going then Harley or Gold Wing route.
With the help of Mak10, dmulk and a few others I was able to create a wiring diagram for the electrical installation.
Check my posts and you will find a picture of the electrical plug that is compatible with the Tenere's aux light plug which makes it easy to tap into the bike's electrical system without cutting any wires.
Best
