dvd Yes Tabasco, I would be interested in in the UT and/or maybe NM rides. I am recently semi-retired and my interest and passion is Adventure and BDR riding. Just starting out and recently got a 2016 super Tenere ( one month )for this purpose. Today i leave for my second adventure trip doing...

dvd yes Tenman, thanks for the tip! It looked like i might be able to get it out with the crash bar in place ( i dont think it is Altrider bars on mine ). The thing is .. on this bike there are many aftermarket add-ons and electrical connections. I think it is going to take me several hours to...

dvd ..ordered two sets of handlebar mount dampner bushings. Went to the shop where i got the bike and he thinks the risers are stock. i will continue to look for polyurethane ones. Shop said the ones that had loosened up were likely original to the bike (2016). Also, put a Garmin XT2 (last...

dvd i will post a response when i get the handlebar shock mount grommets. If i can get polyurethane then maybe better..? Thy are aftermarket and came already with the bike. All is unknown at this point because the bike was acquired 3rd party ( Cycleshop concession ) and all of the records, back...

dvd Thanks all, I'm heading for another adventure in California Sierra's ( Ebbets' Pass and Carson Scenic Byway along with some offroad ) this Saturday, I will watch for tach moving without any corresponding speed relation. I will look into getting a Barnet assy. soon. I'm doing more off road...

dvd Thanks for the insight, now i wonder if my "new 2016" has had any mods. since i havn't owned it for long i cant compare with previous performance, but it did occur to me that when i twist the throttle there should be a bit more pep. I am a very easy goer so i don't go there much. Would...

dvd Hello all, got back from a 3 day adventure ( the first for the ST and me ) and happy to report a great ride on and off road. Now my proven trusty steel horse. Happy that i chose a Super Tenere for adventure and travel. ( Aint it good when things are 'a goin' your way ).

dvd Just got home and the Motopower GTPOWER 2000 Automatic Battery Charger/Maintainer has arrived (12v/2amp ). It is slim and comes with various attachments, even a fused battery lead ( already installed in the bike). ..feels good to know i can get "it" going if need be, and keep it maintained...

dvd That is one sweet looking bike!

dvd someone recommended the bikemaster lithium ion charger. https://thepowerfacts.com/best-battery-charger-for-lithium-batteries/ .. i have to get one because the previous owner put a lith battery in.

dvd perhaps you can visually inspect the wires coming out of the fan and see if they pulled off or loose? Visual inspections catch many a problem without the need to get into places that don't need it. If the fan wires look normal then maybe try to unplug the connector ( as mentioned above...

Welcome from another newbe, and I find this is a great group and full of good knowledge. Enjoy!

dvd just a few thoughts.. -having just (this afternoon) activated/paired my new Garmin xt2, Sena 50S, Garmin Tread and Explorer software and Sena app, and i am happy to report that after hours of fiddling, downloading and charging, along with various helpful you tube vids, the Tread app/software...

dvd yes KevH, there are a number of you tube vids illustrating the job. I watched two the night before i purchased my ST. Looks like a weekend job in the garage or covered side yard. Just think of all the trips you could go on with that 1K.. Plus once you've done it the first time i'd bet you...

dvd ..my nickel on the lawn.. i have a collection of bikes from as far back as early/mid 80's, and since i have never gotten rid of anything the only bike i wanted back was the '77 Harley XLCR that was stolen. I just cant seem to let go of my babies without loosing an arm, trouble is storing...

dvd i have seen where a tad bit of air can migrate in or out of the bleed fitting threads during maintenance, some recommend using a small dab of grease to preclude the draw in the threads at the base of the fitting. careful not to get much of anything mixed in with the fluid. -this is an...

dvd perhaps otherwise known as a thrust bearing, applied for use where force is radial and lateral. I never heard of plain..

dvd hi all, today i'm heading to my local Cycle Gear shop to finally bite the bullet and get the newish Garmin ZumoXT2 for the ST. An expensive gadget (that i have come to enjoy) and rely on in all my vehicles. Then a ride to break in the new Motoz Tractionator GPS tires bifore the upcoming...

Oldrider- sorry to report that the 17 mi drive is no longer open to motorcycles as of about a month ago when i tried to go, dvd

dvd -late to the party yet i have a small input based upon my limited experience- I tried the Lucas oil additive in a high milage car (Corolla) first, no noticeable improvement or changes, then i tried half a bottle during an oil change in one of my Honda xr650r's and it really seemed to smooth...
