Hey Dale, it's Markus. Thanks for all the tips and guidance this past week, and of course for the free California gas. If you ever come my way I'll make sure to repay you. I had fun even if I had a hard time keeping up with you guys. :)

yes that is what I did now. I had it on the high beam first but didn't like it so switched it around now that I can turn them on when ever i want to. Turns out the light pattern of my lights is anyway more of a flood light type. I didn't know because I bought those lights used from somebody...

thanks for your help. What size diodes did you use? Voltage, amperage? Was also thinking maybe a 3 position handlebar switch would work. Position 1 would be getting signal from pink high beam wire, position 0 would be off, and position 2 would be getting signal from a constant 12v source. That...

but that is the opposite of what i want. This way I just have the ability to turn them off if I do not want them on on high beam, what I want is being able to turn them on when not on high beam.

ok i have it wired to the high beams now triggered by the pink wire. How do i put in an over ride now so I can turn them on without using high beams?

Yes ::015::

not yet would this work? and where would i put the diode or diodes? What amperage should they be? 10A enough?

yes this is what i am asking :)

you mean like this one? http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=1579.msg230422#msg230422

I've read a few hours of AUX light installs but would like to know how one would have to wire to be able to switch the lights on anytime (external switch can be switched on low or high beam) but will switch them off if I dim the High beam. Not sure if this is even possible.

Re: oil in pumpkin? i cleaned it up and put it back together. I don't really know much about this bike yet i also don't know how the previous owner took care of her. I will pull it apart again in a couple months and investigate.

oil in pumpkin? I changed the rear tire today for the first time and since i read online i should pull the "pumpkin" and clean and lube the drive shaft did I do so. So when i pulled the shaft out there was a small amount of oil in there also quite a bit of corrosion on the lower portion of the...

the under 5 dollar upgrade :) Have not tested it yet but hopefully tomorrow. I used to have Barkbuster Storms on my KLR and they gave very good wind and weather protection to my hands. With the Tenere I always have cold hands (might have to do with that it still is wintry) Storm set up for the...

is this what you are talking about? with this on top?

thanks for all the tips. I guess i just have to tackle it as i'm to cheap to pay somebody else for doing it. And besides that, I need to know that I can do it too in the middle of nowhere if I have to. I'm waiting for a sunny day to warm the tires up but the weather does not corporate this year...

my new to me Tenere came with pretty much used up Mitas E-07's but also with a set of almost brand new metzeler tourance exp's (back is new, front looks like it has been used a little bit.) I already purchased a set of new 07's but i'm thinking my first trips will mostly be highway so...

Looking for pannier racks for a 2012. (I have some SOLO Boxes from my KLR i'm trying to reuse.) Also willing to look at good used Panniers and mounting hardware. I'm located in BC Canada.

to bad you're so far away from Canada, i would like your pannier racks :(

thank you all... looking forward to adding some miles to the odometer :)
