I have had the ST2 system for about 5 years, never had a problem with it, works exactly as described. My only issue is the cancellation process, all my other motorcy require me to push the turn button in to cancel, but with the ST2 system you have to push the indicator button in the same...

I have ridden the LA to Barstow to Vegas twice, but both times on a Honda crf450. I really enjoyed the ride and camaraderi, I didn’t think it was very difficult technically, just a long ride, but I wouldn’t try it on a 1200 Tenere, just too much weight.. get some good off-road tyres if you do...

Welcome to the club, I live just north of Dallas and my wife and I are looking at moving to NC or SC, we both ride bikes, the texas roads are too flat and straight, we love riding in the carolinas !! I have a 2016 ES tenere, I am 6’2” tall and weigh 170 lbs, I fitted a seat concept seat, it is...

I am currently on holiday in Melbourne with my wife (no motorcycle), it’s much colder than I expected but very pretty once you get out of Melbourne and into the countryside!! Welcome to the group.. Gary

It definitely seems like you have the link arms for a non-ES model, the ES uses longer link arms. Return your links and order another set, preferably from a dealer that understands there is a difference between the non ES and the ES model.

I also have an ES with lust raising dog bones, I measure them at 112mm center to center, so very close to whisperquiet’s measurements, I also run a seat concept seat, very happy with it.

depending where the hole is, you could fit a screen protector and it could cover the hole without you having to change the case!! Just an idea.

I prefer to flash the ÉCU, adding more electronics (ie power commander) is just asking for more electrical problem, most people cannot add electronic circuits and make tidy waterproof joins, so you then have corrosion and vibration issues with the joints, and always at the most inopportune...

It looks to be connected to a resistor, I suspect someone has fitted LED Indicators to your bike and fitted those resistors to stop them flashing too quickly.. do your indicators flash too quickly? It might be that they later fitted the correct flasher unit and then disconnected the resistor as...

It was meant to say I am 99% sure!! Not 9%

I am 9% sure there are valve seats, Yamaha may not list or show them, but the head material is far too soft for the valves to seat into directly. Suspect you need a proper engineering firm to remove the old seat and fit a new one, or buy another head from a breaker, but check it first to make...

I have also been very happy with the STS indicator system, have had it 4 years and not a single issue. Hope the new buyer is pleased with it..

Remember that it’s an oil level light, not an oil pressure light! So the filter is unlikely to have any effect, and the light coming on doesn't mean the engine is about to seize up! As stated it could be a wiring issue (but odd that it should occur after an oil change), more likely it just needs...

As stated running higher pressures usually improves high speed handling on tarmac, but it also reduces the size of the contact patch which means the tyre wears more quickly!! And offers less grip but will allow the bike to flick from one side to the other more easily!! It’s all a balancing game!!

I fitted Road 6's to my tenere a few weeks ago, but have only ridden a couple of hundred miles so far (too cold & wet), I loved the 5's and thought the 6's would be even better. So far its been terrible weather and too cold to really try the new tyres but mine do not vibrate or pull to any side...

I think Tabasco means will this be mated to an equally upgraded set of forks! :) There aren’t 2 rear shocks on an ST , so the rear shocks don’t have to be matched to work together .. :)

I have never seen a mod requiring that tongue to be cut short, but yours is a lot shorter than mine, someone has definitely modified it.

I have headlight protectors and a large engine protection frame (T-Rex) that comes up to the lights, had to remove parts of both systems to access the headlight, it took time!!

I was in the same boat as you, the LED headlight bulbs looked very white and the parking lights yellow, which I hated. I also swapped the parking lights for LED lights, as stated it's a nuisance and a bit long winded to change the parking bulbs, but it's not difficult. Worth it in the end to...

I’m guessing 2 motorcycles and a single wheel trailer on one of the bikes.. or a bike and a trike going on a ride..
