Final update for everyone... ::012:: ::012:: ::012:: It turned out to be the front wheel ABS sensor wire was in fact sliced, not abraded, so harder to find. It had a nice clean slice through on the inside where I couldn't see it. Then, it took the dealer almost three weeks to get the part at...

It's a2012, and even the extended warranty has expired! RATS! Talked to the guy at the dealership, and he seemed to know what he was talking about, even brought up the fact that it had gone into limp-home mode, which I hadn't told him. Then when I told him the limp home had happened twice...

Got up early, checked wires, and cleaned both sensors. Then checked ground connections, then every fuse in the ABS system. All good! that's the good news, and the bad news SAME PROBLEM! All three warning lights are still on! DAMN

Recently, 75 miles ago, replace both front and rear tires, will check all sensors, and wires tomorrow.....stay tuned

??? ??? ??? Well, I've looked in here for about a half hour and haven't found the answer, soooo, I was riding, and the engine cut out, not died, but wouldn't respond to the throttle, and when I looked down, the ABS light, the traction control light, and the check engine light were all on. I...

I think I may have found the problem. after mulling it over, I decided to do what we should always do with any problem that has us a might bit befuddled. Go back to the beginning! Sort of like when you call the computer help line and they ask it it's plugged in... 1. Recheck tire...

Ok guys, here's more info.. I spent the better part this morning on this issue. First, I double checked the tire pressure settings, twice, with two different guages. Then I double checked that all the suspension settings were at the factory standard settings. Then I spent two hours riding...

While the bike does have big luggage, it's never happened when there was anything in the luggage, nor if my wife was on board. In fact we did 1200 miles one weekend in the hill country, all on pavement, without even the slightest wobble. No, they are not Conti Trail Attacks, They are Battle...

The video has exactly what I'm talking about. That is exactly what it does, and you can see how hard it is to get it back under control. p.s. GrahamD...The fact that parts don't actually contact the tank is a ridiculous reason to not call it is what it is. The reason parts aren't contacting...

A clarification,,, I know what a tank slapper is....... I was wondering what the physics and engineering are associated with it. I'm having a hard time getting my head around the fact that an otherwise stable piece of machinery can suddenly start oscilating so badly that it takes all the...

Any one here ever experience a tank slapper? What causes the phenomenon known as a tank slapper? I mean, what's the physics and engineering behind a "tank slapper"? All my life, I've heard people talk about it, I've read articles where it's blamed for accidents, injuries, and all kinds of...

While we are on the subject of oil changes, let me say....................... This is the easiest, quickest bike to change oil and filter that I have ever owned. Start to finish, no more than 20 minutes. ::015::

Has anyone gotten the new flash back from ECUnleashed, yet, and if so, how's it feel?

I had an appointment to go see Jim and his Tenere tomorrow, I'm a potential buyer, but I received a message from Jim's wife today. Jim was down riding in the dirt on his 250 near Waco, apparently crashed big enough to end up in hospital in Waco. I have no more info than that at the moment, but...

Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White I saw the 2013 models at the International Motorcycle Show in Dallas today, the new flat/denim/matte grey and the pearl white, WOW! In my eyes, the matte grey is much better than the 2012 black, and the white is just simply stunning. If I get enough $$$$ for...

If anyone is ready to pull the trigger, this is a deal! http://worcester.craigslist.org/mcy/3176559887.html I'm not ready yet, got three bikes to sell, but this looks like the best buy I've seen yet.....

Re: 2008 BMW R1200 GS Calgary Canada. You might want to include the mileage, and at least one picture. If a buyer needs more pics, they'll contact you, but one gets them started.

Check out Caprock Canyon State Park up yonder near Amarillo. Also, Tyler State Park in NE Texas. Some of the campsites are hooked up, but there are areas that are more primitive. This picture is in Caprock and this is in Tyler

Hello everyone! I currently ride a 2010 HS RoadGlide and a 2008 Wee-Strom but, I'm thinking if I could get one bike that does everything the two of them do.....So I'm here to learn about the Tenere. Went to Yamaha in Hurst today, they have a black S10 on the showroom floor, and I knew more...
