Is this thread any help? - clearly they should be plugged together: - https://yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/super-tenere-gen-2-electrical-upgrades.27308/

Unless the tyres are heavily cupped, my money is still on the UJ. A little wear allowing the UJ to run off centre when pushing the bike - it corrects itself once the revolutions increase. ...

The Roadstar is a top quality touring boot. If you want max protection though, then its the Evo, but I see the price has become a tad salty since I purchased mine.

It could just be the connecting hose kinked/blocked, if you are feeling lucky, but I suspect it's calling for a new MAP sensor as @bimota suggests. BTW, had it not been for the code 14, I would have suspected the side stand switch.

I guess it could be the tour group leader - this is the Boraes website, which links to Instagram. The tours look fascinating, but maybe not Iran at the moment if you are on a US/UK passport. https://boraesadventure.com/northern-tour-of-turkey-motorcycle/

Assuming you have no codes, this appears to be the starter solenoid failing to make a clean contact. Given it's a Gen1 bike, it may be worth taking a look at the starter motor brushes too - solenoids & brush kits are available on eBay & elsewhere in the UK, but I'm not clear where you are...

Maybe the OP's bike is a late registered Gen 1, so I guess it could well be a 2010 build. Given the peculiar launch & pre-ordering arrangements, Yamaha were left with unsold inventory, which they cleared progressively ahead of the Gen2 update in 2014. My 2014 ES Gen2, doesn't show a dating...

CH has never been exactly a bargain, but the payback is the scenery & riding opportunities. Last time we were in the area, we used the Alpenhof at Oberwald, which gives you the circuit of the Dammastock as you propose, along with the Rotondo circuit, the Nufenen, St Gotthard, Furka circular...

Welcome along. Normally we would suggest you check for codes first, available through the dash on a 2014 but, given the bike has been off the road for surgery, I suspect the data may have been cleared. Still worth checking though, or can you give the bike a run on the road & see what emerges...

IIRC, flashing spot/fog lights facing forwards aren't UK legal - emergency services vehicles only. The 3-pin connection for the spotlights is located behind the right hand side panel, right at the front, probably obscured by the tool kit roll. The adjacent 4-pin connector is for retro...

IIRC you have a 2014 ES, that had suspension work a while back, increasing the spring rates & altering the damper settings? Have you interrogated the bike for codes generally, after the recent cylinder head work? Are you certain nothing has been disturbed. When odd codes appear after start-up...

I don't recall us having a walkthrough thread on here, but this may help: - ........ https://thetenerist.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/yamaha-super-tenere-xt-1200-top-end-rebuild/ The degree of carnage will depend on how much cranking you did before you realised what had happened. Good luck.

Perhaps I'm getting too old & grumpy, but some of the Corporate speak used in the Official Statement from Pierer Mobility makes me wonder where this is actually heading .......... for instance, redimensioning. I think it's called ReDim in computer speak, but it sounds like some pretty drastic...

Brave man - I hope it's worth it. I haven't been to the NEC Show since 2018. The focus, at least for the trade & new model launches, seems to be on EICMA Milan these days.

Load test the battery, as @RCinNC says, & then check all the neg/earth connections. If OK, then turn your attention to the condition of reg/rec & stator. After all, it's an early Gen1 bike, now 14 years old. Address the simple stuff first though - even new batteries can fail, albeit a rare...
