    "California gas" ruined engine.

    It started when I’d roll on the throttle and it would have 5-7 seconds of lag time. It was shooting gas out the tail pipe too. The dyno only registered 20 hp also.

    "California gas" ruined engine.

    I didn’t get pics of the dirty valves out of the head before cleaning, but here are some taken the day the head came off. (Before and after) This was after 66k of lugging the motor in touring mode and using Super unleaded only about 20% of the time. Luckily all this motor work only cost me 2...

    "California gas" ruined engine.

    My valves were so dirty at 66,000 miles that they were sticking open. Nels dyno’d the bike at only 20hp. Like Jaxon (Tabasco) stated I babied my motor in touring mode lugging along at low RPM’s With the help of a mechanic friend, we pulled the head and cleaned the valves. Put everything back...

    Possible(probable) delay in the delivery of the T-700 to NA

    It’s looking like a few bikes made it out of Japan and are headed this way. Several that put down deposits are getting calls from their dealers to confirm their order. Not sure of any dates yet but that is a good sign!

    I don’t see the T-700 being any different! Rock solid. I’m messaging Nick occasionally and he’s doing well on his journey.

    Nick is why I own a Super Tenere, his 3 trips from Ushuaia to Deadhorse and back then tearing down the motor to find this.. He’s certainly nuts but torture test a machine, he can do!

    Tenere Across The USA (part II)

    P.K. Adventures I was invited through Jaxon “Tabasco” Fyffe to meetup with Aaron Gragg, the leader of Possum Kingdom Adventures which is Northwest of Dallas. He had a trip in the works going down to the coast. Not doing the math, I said sure. (It was a 1200ish mile trip over 3 days) We were...

    What is a high mileage for a Super Tenere?

    I’m at 85,500 miles on my 2012, the only real issue was I needed to clean the valves at 66,000 from running not the best quality gas while doing a 48 state ride. Once that was sorted, all is good. The valves haven’t needed adjusting either, just cleaned. I’ll keep the 1200 even after I get a...

    Tenere Across The USA (part II)

    I’ll be back in that area for the March Moto Madness Mother Rally. With almost a month to kill before the Tenere Rally in Arkansas, I will most definitely be riding more in WV! The little section I rode out near Parkersburg got me wanting more! Y’all mind showing me around?
