    Handlebar is grabbing to the right. I have to muscle it in order to run straight.

    I was experiencing very similar symptoms on my 2017 ES, and they were pronounced enough to cause discomfort on the long highway stretches. At first, I thought that the different size of my left/right Givi cases was the problem, but eventually, it turned out that the issue was primarily caused by...

    Does asymmetry affect bike behavior?

    Here's an update in case it might be useful to someone. The issue was caused by the front tire that had uneven wear and was squared off. The previous owner ran that tire on a damaged rim for several thousand miles, and that rim seems to have damaged the tire as well. I put on a new tire today...

    Cruise Control Problem 2016 Super Tenere

    In my case, the CC light blinking issue was caused by a damaged rim. I guess, the excessive vibration was affecting the speed sensor in some way. Before the rim replacement, the light would start blinking randomly every 30-40 miles or so, I had to shut off the engine to reset the CC. After the...

    Bike pull left, cruise control hand off.

    I've had my 2017 ST for almost three months now, and I have the same issue - the bike always leans left when I take my hands off the handlebar. And with my hands on the handlebar, I can feel that I need to slightly countersteer all the time. Just slightly, but after long hours on the highway, my...

    Does asymmetry affect bike behavior?

    Wow, my set-up is either the same or very similar, please see the pic below. Thanks for your thoughts, everyone! As I mentioned, this steering issue is very, very subtle, it is barely noticeable, but it does increase at higher speeds, and I do have to counter-steer by slightly, but constantly...

    Does asymmetry affect bike behavior?

    I am a new Super Tenere owner, I bought it used a month ago with about 7.5K km on the clock. The previous owner fitted the bike with some useful accessories including Givi Trekker Outback side cases: the smaller one on the left, and the bigger one on the right. I like everything about them, but...

    Thanks! No, I‘m a Ukrainian living in Ukraine :) My actual first name is Taras. Ulrich is just a nickname vaguely based on my last name.

    New owner in Kharkiv, Ukraine

    Thanks! I use that feature a lot because I change the bike load really often - sometimes all four preload modes are used within a normal day of riding. I will have to experiment more with the damping force adjustments, they seem to be more subtle, and it will take some time to learn what's good...

    YeeHAAA!! Got me a Tenere!

    Doesn't it come equipped with an immobilizer from the factory? All the models I've seen in Europe do have immobilizers, and my bike has it, so it is strange that some bikes don't...

    New owner in Kharkiv, Ukraine

    Greetings from Ukraine! After being a Super Tenere fan for several years, I finally bought my own bike just a couple of weeks ago. It's a matte black 2017 ES model with 7.5K km on it and a whole bunch of useful stuff like three Givi Trekker Outback panniers, crash bars, bash plate, LED lights...
