Rode roughly 15k to 18k mile doing the Tour of Honor ride covering 13 states along with some sightseeing. Plan was return trip to AK, oh well.

Had issue of a stumble at 3500 rpms, checked coils per manual, ok, did dia on TPS checked ok. Still had stumble. Installed new TPS, 600 miles later no stumble. 2015 ES with 70,000 miles.

Eric...would say without oil analysis or tear down as you did, it’s all subjective on proper oil and impact from oil. As long as the oil used meets the spec for an engine and is changed on proper intervals, an engine should be ok. Most oil threads seem to be based on hear say or emotion. Enjoy...

Had a seat done by Terry’s Custom Seats last Sept, 40k miles later, 2 trips across the country, very happy with it. Did a ride in appointment to help ensure it fit well. I added a Utopia backrest for my old back.

Terry was a pleasure to do business with, produces a quality product. I added a back rest by Utopia, in my mid 60’s, the additional support makes the cross country trips more comfortabl.

Was not on a Tenere, but on my last trip to AK I had clear covers on my bike, my buddy had grills. while traveling the upper end of the Yukon, a truck in front of us kicked up a rocks, one went through the grill, broke the headlight glass. I took a few rock hits, they bounced off the clear...

Congrats on sale

Utopia backrest, good for older backs

Sweet video...rode many of those roads this past early April, lots of snow. Did not pass a single car on the Million Dollar Highway which was awesome. Last trip up Mount Evans went around the gate before dawn, rode to the top for the sunrise. Let’s say the ranger was not happy

Hello....looking for info on where to buy replacement coils other than the dealer. Has anyone used aftermarket coils that proved to be reliable? Prepping for a return trip to AK from FL, want to carry a spare coil or two. Thx Roger
