2018 Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 XT with 8,800 miles, mostly highway from road trips. I have to sell it to pay some medical bills. This motorcycle comes with original Yamaha hard side bags, a hard top case, a removable headlight protector, Helix handlebar risers, a VStream roadtrip windshield...

Any update?

I think I partially burned my clutch when going to Ocala national forest. I was stuck in the sand and I forgot to deactivate traction control.

Yes this is what I did.

Update. I used T6 Rotella and I still have a hard time downshifting. Next step is looking at the clutch.

I'll change the oil before looking at the clutch. But one thing I notice is that if I blip the throttle before downshifting, it downshift fine.

Thank you

Same. But I have to put some pressure to downshift. Especially on the lower gears. I'll change the oil today and report back. If not, I'll have a mechanic look at the clutch.

The issue is getting worse on my 2018 Super Tenere with 8000 miles. I can't find neutral when downshifting. I lubed the shifting linkage and I bled the clutch. I'm thinking of doing an oil change to see. Anything else I'll have to check? The bike upshifts perfectly. Thank you,

Hey guys, So I took my first long roadtrip with my girlfriend on the S10. The goal was to find a place to go camping. We went all the way to Rainbow River, but the park was PACKED and we couldn't get in. So crazy thing, we tried going camping into the Ocala Forest and the road was full of sand...

I got the new bearings. Anyone can direct me to the tool I have to buy to do the job? Thank you,

Thanks Mike. Quick question, how would I know how deep I need to push the new bearings when installing them if there's no lip?

That was my plan to remove the old bear Mike. I was wondering if there was a some kind of lip in the linkage. I don't want to "punch" that lip to remove the old bearing. I don't know if that make sense.

Yeah I'm trying to remove the old steel case. Is there a lip that stop the bearing from going all the way? Also, is there a tool to remove the bearing? I was able to remove the seal without issue.

Any idea how to remove the bearing without removing the part?
