Were you able to pull the lock mechanism and service it as well?

An ignition switch clean & lube may be in my future! I'm having intermittent stalling and code 19 issues which based on forum research I believe to be related to dirt in the ignition switch. For anyone that has overhauled this switch, does the key mechanism/barrel also come out from the bottom...

Did not. Considered it initially but decided to wait and see if there's a need. My current impression is a charger isn't needed as battery seems to hold charge well and bike doesn't seem to have significant parasitic drain. I understand I'm making a lot of comparisons against a battery on life...

Finally! Decent weather and opportunity to get bike out. It's been sitting 4+ months, no charger, nuttin. Other than a couple ignition power tests during this time it's been in hibernation. Started right up. I'm impressed. I'm liking the extra voltage the for the starter, engine seems to...

Unfortunately cold weather along with more working from home have not been conducive to getting the bike out. Will post up once I get a chance to ride.

Wanted to do a quick post on installation and initial experience with Antigravity lithium-ion battery. My 6 year old Yuasa battery finally bit the dust. I probably pushed it farther than I should have but due to limited replacement choices and indecision on going with lithium technology, I...

Jumping into swingarm maintenance and removing final drive... Is it necessary to maintain the spline alignment in the U-joint? I think not as there's only a single U-joint in the drive train but would like to confirm.

Ha! Found it. It's a bumper that protect fairing from rubbing tank. There's one on each side and must have bumped right side loose while moving tank.

Buttoning up bike after completing TB synch, air filter change and coolant hose replacement. Found this rubber plug on floor but no recollection of it. Is this a Tenere part?

Replacing coolant hoses on my 2012 Tenere. I know some poo-poo using worm-gear type hose clamps due to their inability to compensate for expansion and contraction over normal use, but the OEM clamps have worked well for over 10 years. Has anyone attempted to use the spring clamps or other...

I purchased a used 2012 Tenere and have removed the bar risers installed by the previous owner. These fit between bar and triple clamp. Includes screws. Per SW-Motech website, should fit 2010 - 2013 models How about $15 and I'll cover shipping?

Did they quote (or can they) on price for check vs price for reshim?

Yamaha dealers are dropping like flies around here! I'm in Broomfield and had great service from CO Powersports in Thornton (closed a couple years ago) and followed the service guys to Geforce Powersports in Boulder (also recently closed). There was a rumor they were going to relocate the...

I also do my own wheel removal and deliver wheels to shop when having tires installed. I usually tape something to wheel to indicate forward rotation just to make it easy on the installers.

I'm on my 2nd set, getting about 15k between leaks. Once one starts leaking I replace both. I've tried the seal-saver trick every time but never helped. I now consider them a consumable item like tires or oil. Would I per-emptively change seals at 50k? Hell yeah! But for me it's more like...
