Today the brake fluid for front, rear an clutch was replaced, I used Motul RBF700 (has 617ªF boiling point ), 100% synthetic.
Hope I can go for a ride soon.
Great day to all!

Busy couple days! Super hectic at work, but managed to get some things done on my new to me Tenere. I've put almost 1k miles on it since it got here. Got my Cyclops Pegasus aux lites mounted with a Skene dimmer. Got my new Mitas E-07+ tires mounted and balanced. Got the cig lighter port on the dash replaced with a USB port/volt meter. And finally, got my new GPS mounted and wired into the volt meter so its switched power.

Did the flat seat mod today, Went for the cheap/quick option and just cut the 4 back rubber stoppers in half and reattached them! Haven’t had chance to see if the mod makes a difference on a long trip yet but as you can see from the pics the rear of the seat is about 1 inch lower than the standard seat position. 346EE1D8-815E-480D-B19F-48974A6BBC39.jpeg

Thanks for the reminder. I need to take in my 900 Tracer GT sometime soon. Received the recall a while back but I totally forgot. I'm not sure if my Super Tenere is affected but I should call on that on Monday and make sure since I bought the bike used.
I got the brake switch recall completed today. Never had any trouble with it, but better safe than sorry.

I think all 2nd Gen (2014 +) are affected.

To my knowledge they're still tying it to VIN batches. I checked when it was first announced, mine wasn't in there. A couple weeks back a friend checked again for me, and it was. Yamaha is updating the lists, but I'm not sure they did a blanket recall announcement yet. All of us here know that they're all wonky. It's just getting Yamaha to admit it that's going to take longer. :D

Installed Speed Bleeders for brakes and clutch, bled and cycled ABS, and bled again. Also flushed and replaced rad coolant. The tutorials on the forum are awesome! Really helps to get things done the proper way. Thanks to those who provide these “how to do”!
Great you did it, I have heard that after you bleed the brakes many will cycle the ABS, why is that? is it needed to have the ABS cyled? what will happen if you do not cycle it? Regards to all.
