Could it be a faulty O2 sensor? Another Tenere owner exhibited intermittent stalling, but only when hot. He took it to the shop, of course they couldn't replicate the issue. He had them put a heat gun on the sensor and sure enough, it stalled. They replaced it under warranty and now it runs...

Plus one on the Mosko Moto stuff. I don't own any (yet) but I got some hands on time with some of the samples this weekend. Really well thought out design. Very technical bags instead of a PVC coated sack like some other stuff I own. One of the owners was a former designer for Dakine so they...

Was traction control the final verdict of why the clutch exploded? I heard the theories. Made sense but I wasn't sure if that was indeed the final suspicion. I always ride with it off in the dirt regardless. Just curious. Have fun on the trip! Sent from my XT1045 using Tapatalk

Hit up the folks at Black Dog Cycle Works. The have an annual rally where they host adv riders at their property on the river. Not sure if they offer it up at other times of the year but it's worth a shot. Worst case scenario they could point you in the direction of some great rides in the...

Not an endorsement as I've never used it, but I saw this cot recently. http://www.bestrestproducts.com/c-183-sleeprite-cot.aspx Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

I've gone a little ways (a couple miles?) up the Naches Trail. It does start to get really rocky a little higher up. I'd say the part I traveled was just like Hoebster pointed out, "tough but doable" on the big bike. Not sure how hairy it got further up the trail. There were some Jeeps that...

Limey took this picture last year when he and I rode the northern part of the COBDR after we left the Ouray gathering. There's a K60 under there somewhere. Second pic is from the Whitehorse gathering. Calcium chloride.... Nasty stuff... Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

Hey Marty, Yeah, I put one on the bike a couple months ago. I'm happy with it for sure. Like any aftermarket suspension would likely be, it was night and day difference over stock. I put 25K miles on my bike before I put it on and like many here have said when referring to suspension...

Any update? Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

Also, ground clearance = 250mm on the KTM vs 205 on the XTZ, 21" front, etc. Something that can be addressed on the Tenere but not without significant cost. Several peeps up in the PNW use Alex at Konflict Motorsports for thier suspension needs. Last year he and some buddies raced in the 24...

Hello Nald. You come from a beautiful area. I have some friends that live on Andechtstrasse in Innsbruck, some that live in Telfs, and some over in Oberammergau. I might be coming for a visit this spring. Are there places to rent a motorcycle? If so, maybe I could talk you into giving me a...

Its written on the spring itself if you're curious. *edit* In hindsight, I'm making an assumption that the printing on the spring is what this means, but that might not be the case. Probably should call Alex or TT to get the definitive answer. Alex told me he put a180kg spring in mine. The...

I did mine a week or two ago. Ended up with the 180kg spring. Haven't ridden it in the dirt yet, but it feels pretty sweet just on the commute. Can't wait to try it out in the rough stuff. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yeah, if all you need is full brightness to the light bar when your highbeams are on, then a relay is probably the best way to get there. HOWEVER, if you don't mind spending a few bucks, I would also recommend the skene controller. It's small, it replaces the relay and it gives you the...

Re: Pacific Northwest Cascade weekend ride Aug 16/17 2014 Another great option! I've been wanting to do the Hoh ride for 2 years, just couldn't make it work with schedules. Southern BDR Thursday-Friday Cle Elum Saturday-Sunday Northern BDR Monday-Wednesday North Cascades to Olympic...
