What you did to your Tenere today??!!

I have Rox risers on my Super T and didn’t do any modifications to the clutch or brake cabling. In fact I found the right side cabling especially long and bulky where the throttle and brake handle reside…the RH cabling didn’t look well tied down so I used a small zip tie to the handlebar to keep the two bulbous cables down without restriction. I don’t like fooling with cabling unless absolutely necessary.
A couple of shots from of my handiwork.

I went for a chilly 150 mile ride in northern Florida. 57°F is chilly for FL but that would probably be warm for many of you...

hahaha 57 ...thats man thong riding weather compared to Maine!
Your Super T looks awesome

Thanks for the pictures. What is your height and did you find them to be all you hoped they would be and much more? Looks like about how I expect to set mine up.

I remember sitting on a gs1250 with risers and thinking how comfortable the bike felt. Maybe the s10 is the same way.

My height is 6-1 ...the Rox risers maybe an inch and a half..it was the tilt back,I wanted you can see it in the pictures, for LD riding I need to be upright and sitting flat on the seat. better for the two B's ..the back and butt.

Also like I said don't mess with cabling ..especially in advance doing custom order! Plus its off season take your time and look things over good before you plop down 100 bucks plus on extended cabling that could end up in the springs motorcycle swap meet.

LOL....and thanks!!!

Changed the front tire. This was my first time changing a tire and took a good 2 hours. 3D printer some bead buddies to help with install. Reinstalled it to the bike after forgetting to balance it. Rear tire and gear oil change is next.

My rox risers showed up and first attempt at install finished. I set them up to follow the line of the oem risers and it feels real comfortable, even standing feels better. Now this is a '23 model so your experience may differ. I first loosened the clutch and brake levers and moved them in in case I needed the extra length. Loosened the hard line clamps also. I am still not comfortable with the lack of line length and I haven't moved the levers back out to their original position, really I can't. So I watched the altrider video about the install but theirs was gen 1 so that may be the catch. Anyway, I went to ladlesports and ordered the line extenders, I think that is going to be the safest way for the install. Standby for second attempt.

Winter service came to an end today. Flushed the brake and clutch fluid, new engine oil and filter. Put in an K&N airfilter and mounted the Arrow stainless headers. With that I had to fabricate a new stainless bracket to support the worldcrosser skidplate-extension. More inhaling and exhaling meant that the mapping on the ECU wasn’t sufficient anymore. So the ECU went to Carmo Electronics for a flash. Also lowered the fan range with 5*C (95-100 now instead of 105-100) She sounds deeper and is quicker on the throttle when blipping her. No idea how the ride is due to weather circumstances. And the centerstand was sent for a powdercoating due to rust. Also a connector for my CTEK LiFe-Po battery charger was finally put on.
Had fun performing al this work, now waiting for better weather.

Did a bunch do things recently. Bought some headlights protector and change the light bulb to some powerful LED. Makes a huge difference. I also installed a screen protector. Finally, I ordered a bootleg Madstad windshield system to mount Vstream touring windshield. The thing didn’t fit properly, so I opened a dispute and got a full refund without having to send it back. The seller was a true POS. I also installed the helibar risers, it’s better but I’m still having shoulder pain. I’m going to try to rotate the handlebar to see.

I’ve seen people black out the winglets to cut down on glare. They look good though. Curious to know how much they cut down on wind

Installed some LED headlight bulbs. The left one was burned out so figured I’d give LED a try. Installed the dash filler panel (kudos to Tortured). Struggling to get the rear tire off. Unseated the bead on one side but the other is giving me grief. Also got around to balancing and reinstalling the front tire. Next up is oil/filter change and drive oil change.

What’s that panel below the gauges? I’ve got a gen-1 so have nothing like that on it.

it’s an aftermarket part made by Tortured on the forum here. PM him to see if he has any available.https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/dash-filler-panels.30448/#post-452974

They do make a difference.

I’ve had winglets on my Gen1 bike for 50k miles and never, not on a single occasion had a glare issue. I have ridden it without them fitted and they definitely make a positive difference with wind noise and wind blast.

as boris says, i,ve had winglets on my bike for 10 years, the clear ones for the first 5 years and dark tinted for the last five years there brilliant and work, but no glare at all from either
