    2012 stock shock

    What year? I have a 2012 that I was going to have the shock re-worked but might consider yours. Don't know if there were any changes after 2012 in spring rates --- do you know?

    2013 Husqvarna 650 Terra experience anyone?

    I have two, a '13 Strada with ABS and a '14 Terra. Both are very reliable but the air filter arrangement could allow dirty air to bypass it if close attention was not made to the air filter seal. I replaced both with a UniFilter sock which required modifying the air inlet to the throttle body...

    BoosterPlug

    RE Booster Plugs. Yes, I've tried them on a number of bikes at various times including Husky, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, etc. In my opinion, you're much better off having the ECU reflashed/remapped, which I've done on my 2012 and 2014ES Tenere's.

    Power available on Super Tenere for heated gear?

    Bottom line is that the Tenere has ample wattage to operate heated grips, gloves, jacket and pants with plenty left over to keep the battery charged.

    Cut-down screen anyone?

    I've tried numerous windshields on my 2014. Stock, Parabellum, two versions of the NV VStream, none were satisfactory. I ended up with a tall NC screen made for a Suzuki Burgman 400 scooter of all things. I'd purchased two of them on a closeout for $40 ea. 6'1" 32" inseam. I also have the...

    New Tenere in Montana...

    Congrats on finding a nice '14 with few miles on it. I did the same last year with 2k miles as well. It now has over 8K miles - a great bike.

    Super Tenere vs Moto Guzzi V85 TT ?

    Going tubeless by sealing the rim isn't a big deal. Check out the thread on the Tiger 800 in advrider many ways to do it -- I did on my Tiger 800 over two years ago using a 3m product off of Amazon -- no issues whatsoever. I just recently bought a V85TT and will do it when I'm ready for a...

    An interesting day - test riding V85TT, 790 Adventure and T7.

    I find it interesting that the reviewer complained about the lack of ground clearance but hadn't adjusted the pre load on the rear suspension from the softest setting.
