    Traded in my 2012... Bittersweet Day

    After 130, 728 happy miles and a long night of de-farkeling, I traded my 2012 Tenere in for a brand new 2014 yesterday. The 2012 was flat out awesome. It was the first motorcycle I have ever owned that was everything I wanted. I never thought once about getting a different bike. In the brief 250...

    Great Dealer - Tri County Honda Yamaha, Petersburg, WV

    Just wanted to post about an excellent service experience at Tri County Honda Yamaha http://www.tricountyhonda.com/ My bike was not idling properly, and has been driving me nuts. After successfully managing to aggravate my local Yamaha rep to the point that he wouldn't listen anymore ("Your...

    Final Drive Seal Frustration

    I've been averaging a final drive oil seal replacement (under warranty) roughly every 20k miles. Just passed the "magic" 20k mark again, and am now waiting for another one with 87k miles on the bike. Parts won't be in until July 11, which totally kills the plan to ride to AK next week. :'( :'(...

    Sidestand Switch Bypass

    Hi guys, My sidestand switch is intermittently preventing the bike from starting (error code 19). A warranty replacement switch is on order but will take a week or so to show up. Anyone know how to bypass the switch in the interim? I have lubricated the switch with no luck. PS: I totally suck...

    Error Codes

    Do any of you know if there is a list of error codes and what they mean? I just had a valve adjustment done by the dealer at 75k miles, and the bike is throwing error code 19 at startup. Thanks, Chris

    52K Mile Valve Check Results

    I had the bike in for its 2nd valve check yesterday. Intake was still right on the money at .005. The exhaust side has tightened just a bit - at 28k exhaust side was at .009 (where it is supposed to be). This time it was between .008 and .009. Will probably need to adjust at least the exhaust...

    Forum OEM Parts Bulk Buying Power

    I saw this thread in the regional forum, and thought it could benefit from getting a lot more views. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=5664.msg99685#new I hope posting to the main forum is considered "couth". :) Chris

    Trans America Trail

    Has anyone on here run the TAT, especially the eastern end? I'm trying to figure out how doable splitting a TAT trip into multiple 4 day weekends would be. 1 day out, 1 day back, 2 days on the TAT. (When I say one day out or back, I mean up to 1500 miles.) Once past that point, I would try to do...
