    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Nice job, but 40 years ago when I was a wrench, I would have been fired if that engine wasn't spotless before I started pulling anything exposing internals.

    Eleven Years....300,000 Miles

    Yeah, I think you, Ermsreno, and kk3an, are the mileage Kings with this bike! Congrats to all of you.

    Mechanic in central Indiana needed!

    Welcome aboard! Sorry I can't help you with a dealer, but you definitely need a new CCT. You have two choices. A manual one which is a fairly easy install, or the OEM automatic one which is more complicated to install because the valve cover "should" be removed to insure the cam chain doesn't...

    2025 T7 or keep 2017 Super Tenere?

    No, no, it's 10mm sockets. That's where they all go!

    Panniers Lock Solution

    I have never had trouble with my locks. You just need to push down on the lid first, before turning the key.

    valve clearances schedule?

    DO NOT use DOT5 in your S-10!!!

    No start after reassembly(Valve replacement and reshim)

    Put it back together the way you have it and either find a downhill or a tow. That is the only way to turn that son of a bitch over fast enough and long enough without any draw on the battery to know if you really have a problem. I had a "hard start" one time that took a tow to resolve.

    2025 Yamaha R9

    Yeah, I shouldn't have called it a "major" modification, because it would be far from a re-design. Unfortunately, the issue still stands. Who is going to buy any bike that engine is in, with the available competition?

    2025 Yamaha R9

    JMHO and it's been argued for years, but like it or not, horsepower sells. Whether one uses all of it or not is another story. If the S10 had been 145 HP from the start, this world would be crawling with them. Having said that, the problem with using the S10 engine in another platform is...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Yeah, I think the stator puts out like 400 watts or close to that.

    Here's one you don't see every day

    My educated guess would be that he installed that speedo/tach from another bike.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I said the mirrors, not the bike! ;)

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Too bad you couldn't just purchase the mirrors the new CFMoto Ibex 450 uses. One side has opposite threads just like the Yamaha, and they have a clever way of folding out of the way on trails.
