    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Installed some Galfer Semi-Metallic Carbon front pads @ 30k miles which made a nice improvement over the OE'. Lubed the shifter pivots with Miltec 1 (my synthetic 1911 guide grease which doesn't attract dirt) and made for easier shifts. Changed the oil/filter with Rotella T6 and Wix oil filter...

    Matte Gray Paint Care

    Happy with the results of Collinite 845, it even makes the gray a little darker and it even goes on my windscreen too.

    What do we now think of the bike

    little over 8k miles so far and have done some handlebar risers, crash bars, grips, seat modifications at the upholstery shop, airhawk and engine skid plate. 5th gear is getting quieter and the rear oe exp' has about 2/32"-3/32" left, the trail wings are going on soon. Enjoying this cycle.

    65w H7 bulbs

    My thought with the Osram Rally 65 Watt H7 would cause problems with bulb sockets and harness. The bike did have the recall harness done. Has anyone run these bulbs before with success?

    high beams

    When the recall was done before new bike delivery, they forgot to plug in the left high beam wire.

    high beams

    Don't know if this is normal with having only the right light go to high with the high beam switch on, or are they both to change? Thanks

    Tall guy Mods to your Tenere. What have you done?

    6'3" what works for me is 1" handlebar risers, installed two 5/16" flat washers under seat lock bolt, then added 1/4" thick rubber washers under front part of the plastic seat tray and took the seat to the local seat upholstery shop and they cut 1" out and added 3" of high density foam and a...

    Higher wind screen - help and advice needed

    Being 6' 3" I went with the 22" Parabellum, I wanted the air hitting the top of the Shoei Quest. Can ride with the shield open at 55mph and close it above 55-60.

    What do we now think of the bike

    I had not rode a motorcycle for 36 years and all the sudden I thought it was time to have a motorcycle again. So the search began and being 6' 4" it was hard to find something that fit, I sat on cruisers and some different enduro/adventure type bikes for about two months and decided to go with...
