Got that smell a few times today, interesting seeing several people reporting same ::021::

Fan comes on in my bike at exactly 100c, the air temperature sensor reads 4c high, can this be adjusted to read the temperature accurately?

Repaired the bottom of the crankcase in my new Tenere, lug supporting the plastic bashplate under the bike burst through the crankcase when I impacted lightly with a low kerb as I dismounted it, very bad design as it protrudes 3/4" or more under the bike making it very vulnerable, very good...

Thanks for the comments folks, today I took Joe's new AT, he took mine and we had a bit of crack along the south coast beyond Kinsale Beautiful bikes both, completely different though, AT is much better off road, the dual clutch took many attempts to get used to but I ended up loving...

Rode an Africa Twin today, well last week actually and several times while deciding between it and the ST10, very different bikes, the AT is much lighter, faster off the mark, wouldn't be surprised if it was capable of lifting the front wheel in 2nd gear, its not as refined as the ST10 either...

The KTM 1290 Super Adventure wasn't for me, horses for courses, too big, fast and not as nice to ride as the ST10 or the Africa Twin, test drove all three and eliminated the Duke right off, saying that id have loved a ride on the 1190R had one been available.

Thanks to you both, the standard screen doesn't offer much in terms of protection and this is an option as is a Puig touring screen I am looking at, has anyone any opinions on this screen? it is 66 stg

Have been searching ebay & amazon uk for one of these Russian screen spoilers without success, can anyone post an active link to one please.....

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, appreciated, will probably take the bike to Overlanders for its first service tomorrow, took this shot at the Lough on the way home earlier Im out Ballinhassig direction, wondering if we met about two months ago in Patrick's st, I was probably on a 650 Dakar...

Where I believe there aren't "too many" Super Tenere's Name is Charles and I traded in a 2012 Triumph Explorer against a new XT1200ZE, been biking for 41 years, here are a few pics I took on the way home, one week on, 1000km clocked, 800 of that in the first 3 days.
