Got the stud bolt out and ordered a new one. After waiting three weeks, I called the supplier to learn that this part is out of stock everywhere and it could be a month, or a year, before it's available again. I was ale to find the cap nut in stock at my loal Yamaha dealer and grabbed that. I...

Hi: In removing the rear drive unit to replace a leaking oil seal, I had to wrench hard to remove one of the acorn nuts. so hard that the nut was almost too hot to touch from all the friction when it finally came off. I see the first thread or two on the bolt is stripped -- guessing a previous...

I think I probably do have a bigger problem. I gen do stick with top brands but my last fill up of the weekend was at a mom and pop store in rural Vermont. Not sure who their fuel provider is.

Sorry if this discussion is a repeat -- I tired to search and didn't find anything. I just changed my oil (2012 Super Tenere) for the first time since the start of the season -- about 3k miles. It was pretty bad. Black with brownish streaks, even a bit of foam. Pretty distinct smell of gas. So...

I think so but I've since pulled the rear wheel off again and will 2X when I reinstall.

OK, thanks. I should have taken a photo before I turned the first wrench. Rookie mistake. I guess it allows for a little lateral slippage by design? Seems wierd but picture worth a thousand words.

spacer is there -- it's grease-stuck against the brake caliper in my photo. Also, hub and sensor are aligned -- took me a little while to figure that out but confirmed. seems like I must be missing another spacer somewhere... I keep a pretty tidy garage and don't see any stray parts. But guess...

HI: Couldn't find a thread that addressed this issue. I just changed my rear tire and reinstalled the wheel, then torqued the axel nut to 90 lb/ft, with the pinch bolt loose and a 19 mm hex tool to counter the torque wrench. I'm left with about a 1/4 inch gap between the right swing arm and...

also, just to be clear: I'm assuming you are offering me $250 per my original post but please confirm.

Send my your address to VTBuells@gmail.com. I'll send a PayPal payment request to your email address. Once I have your payment and shipping address I'll ship it via fedex ground service. Looks like it will cost about $29 to go ground service so I'll cover that. FYI that I am heading out of town...

Ouch!

Tell you what: I'll accept $225 but I'll ask you to cover the shipping cost. I suspect that will come out to about $25-$30. If that works for you, let me know where I'm shipping it to and I'll get an exact cost. Then we'll add that to the $225 and you can send the funds via PayPal, and I'll...

Coming off my 2012 Super Tenere to make room for a new GIVI OUTBACK unit. This was on the bike when I bought it a few months ago, and I believe it is less than two years old but cannot confirm that. No dents, lock works, extra key, and has the backrest pad attached. $250 and I will pay for...
