    MT-12?

    Does anyone else feel like, with the cases off, this thing is a lot like a 1200cc MT-09? That burly 1200cc twin still has a crossplane crankshaft and can move like a naked sport bike too. Upright riding position, great handling. The MT-09 has a similar riding posture to the Super Tenere. Just...

    Heated grips.

    I saw the heated grip option disappear and used a multimeter to test continuity and found one grip had none. Sure enough... Had my throttle side heated grip go out on me. This is a non-ES so the previous owner had the OEM heated grip accessory installed by the dealer on my bike. This is what...

    Cyclops replacement LED headlight bulb kit for Teneres

I noticed a bit of flickering a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, on a long trip, BOTH died. I knew the connection was good because...

    Recommend oil

    I have about 7000km on my Motul 7100 10w40. No issues, as expected with any decent oil. I would have just as well used Yamalube dino oil, but I got a great deal on the 7100. And it's red like cherry cough syrup. Doesn't quite taste the same though. I have a kit from Blackstone oil labs and I'm...

    End of the current S10??

    I can't see Yamaha killing the Super Tenere, especially with the T7 coming out. I think they are about due for an update though. Honda is jamming a lot of tech into their new Africa Twin 1100, and Yamaha would be smart to further refine their big adventure offering.
