My aux light did break off. Looking for a good way of mounting it. This ride was about 450 miles on the super tenere, crossed over 71k miles on the bike. And 10k miles on the rear tire

this makes me wonder if the tenere 700 should have been called the super tenere. It is so much more inline with the super lineage of the super tenere 750. The xt1200z should be hyper tenere or something else.

I cut a piece of plastic and slid it up under the seal and managed to stop the leak. Need to order these fork savers so this does not happen again

thats a good hack. Did you have to cut the card to a specific shape?

Anyone have a fork seal saver? like this so you dont get fork legs leaking? Another question is how successful have you been with the plstic slide in to clean the seals and hopefully fix the leaking? ' was considering this to see i can fix my seal leak

very true, i was thinking abou that but thought it was easier to have it on a table to work. Added a little bit of time, but removing the pumpkin is pretty easy.

in case anyone needs to do it. Recently did mine, very easy to do. With 70k miles i cant believe it if i had a chain i would have to get the chain changed 4 times at least

Yes it's a car tire. Now everyone taste, but seems to work for me. I previously did it on my vstrom 650 and rode cross country on it and liked it. Definately plan on keeping it on and doing it in future bikes. I don't ride track day type of speed so i've not seen a performance issue for everyday...

I feel embarassed even saying. it was a bolt that was loose. The arm for the brake got loose and was rattling around. So as the suspension moved up and down it creaked a bit. That is why it was erratic. Took her for a spin and it was super quiet. Before the trip all of this was tight. Somewhere...

Fixed it! Thanks for thehelp guys. Im glad it was this simple, but im also glad i pulled out the shaft and lubed it. never did that before

I'm not sure how to remove the uj for inspection. Do i remove the cover for the transmission? I've never done this on a bike. Shaft drives are new. Can't find any youtube videos on this on the super tenere too.

i found one potential issue that might be it, but unsure yet. It sure sounds like it could be it. One of the brake arm bolts that attaches to the caliper was loose. THe bolt and nut was still there but it was the one closer to the front of the bike. I did wiggle it back and forth and made a very...

i'm actually not sure how to pull the u joint out, never done it. Nothing on youtube for the super tenere. I guess ill search for bmw gs shaft drive failure and see if i can figure it out
