I’ve had this great bike since new and it's in excellent condition, with all maintenance up to date and recalls complied. I've put 47,000 great on and off-road miles on it, the last 2000 on Shinko 705 dual-sport tires. Will include an unmounted set of Mitas E07 Adventure tires (50/50...

Texascanuck, I've had the recall repair done, but wondered what it took the dealer to do it. Thanks for this info.

Hard Starting, 2012 TENERE. I began having some starting problems with a discharged battery in Spring '18, in spite of keeping it on a trickle charger. The battery was only a year old, but I bought a new battery, which also began having discharge problems; I blamed the new battery (Batteries...

As my old mother says, "there's a buncha idiots out there!". I've ridden constant rain for 3 days with heavy crosswinds. 3 hours west of Hays KS the temp dropped from 41 to 34, & I stopped at 1pm in Burlington CO with snow coming too fast to keep the helmet visor clear. Cold hands! Pic is snow...

That's a great idea -- wish I had more time!

US 40 thru Vernal & Craig CO is a great ride. From SE of Longmont I plan to take US 36 to US 24 & motel first night in Manhattan, KS. Maybe we can meet up somewhere...?

Hey, Paddy -- I'll be riding from Longmont CO, taking 2-lane all the way: KS, MO, KY, into TN. Gonna motel it til I get to Tellico Plains, then camping there. Be great to meet you & the other guys!

OK, I'm in -- it's only 1400 miles from here in northern Colorado, so why not? It'll be a fun ride (anybody goin my way?) on 2-lanes & backroads, 3 easy days. And I wanna see Checkswreck's camper trailer! Patrickg450, I'll pay my fee thru PayPal today -- pls put me down for an XL t-shirt...

I'll be riding from northern Colorado, expect 3 days, & could use some company -- is anyone going my way?

Blind Squirrel said "Imagine what that fuse might have cost you if you took it to the dealer... " I figure at least $100, maybe more! :-[

Thanks, WJ -- I've kept a supply of those quick fasteners; didn't know to push the pin in further.

I feel like one lucky SOB (stupid but lucky)!! I finally consulted the book & found that the Main fuse is under "cowling B", which is above & forward of "cowling A", the one you remove with 4 quick fastener screws. To remove cowling B, first take off cowling A, then 4 allen bolts & 2 plastic...
