Hey “JJTJ2”, 7,500 total miles over a 5-year period:oops:! That’s only 1,500 miles driven each year! Or, only 125 miles ridden per week! I think the weird noises you are hearing are your Super Tenere doing it’s best to complain about not being ridden as designed, ie; HARD. A suggestion: give...

We can all dream… ;)

Hello “WJBertrand” and “Campion”, All of my comments are based on recognized US standards and terms: You are correct, I mistakenly typed 89 RON, instead of the “95 RON” which was reflected in the photo of the VEC sticker from my bike. The notation should have stated the following, “The actual...

Puuuuurrrrrdddddy:)

Spot on, mate!

I will be saying prayers for you, hoping that the huge Canadian storm doesn’t continue its southwestern trajectory and interrupt your fun ride. You might need two balaclavas, L O L!!! Brrrrrr! :eek:

Hello, Do you know if the prior owner changed out the cam chain tensioner? If the chain jumped a tooth, you might have all of the symptoms which you describe. You might look through the old records and see if that work was done. It’s a critical component on a motorcycle of that era.

Hello MattR, Sorry to hear about your fall/collision and injuries. I hope you have a quick and mostly pain-free recovery.o_O;) I am super curious what brand and model of tires you were riding at the time. I am also wondering how many miles had been driven on those tires. This information may...

Hey Scott F, Welcome to the Super Tenere ownership tribe! You will love your new ride! I also had similar experience with buffeting and even with the taller windscreen I found myself in the same situation you are. However, I recently added “wind deflectors” to my 2012 Super Tenere and it...
