Thanks

I read through this thread but didn't see/couldn't find an answer to this question: Does anyone know the size of the FD filler bolt (#90340-14002)? I dislike Allen-Head bolts as they tend to eventually round out. I had one of these filler bolts round out on my 2013 Super Tenere and it was a...

I used TankSlapper's pre-cut PPF on my 2013 Super Tenere and have just ordered their Tank Top Kit ($16.95) and their Tank Protector Kit ($15.95) for my 2024. The price goes up to $40.70 and $41.45, respectively, if you order the kit with a higher-end film (EXPEL Ultimate or Scotchgurad Pro)...

I am aware of the red key/immobilizer thing: This will be my second Super Tenere and I have also owned 2 FJRs, but thanks for the reminder. I'll also keep Speedlabs in mind - didn't know about the ECU flash. Your point (and others') about buying what I can as soon as I find it is well taken...

I just got an email from T-Rex saying that the bars and plates are back in stock. There's a promo code that'll get me $50 off if I order today, so $449.95 but . . . shipping to Canada is $220! Add to that brokerage fees and taxes that are applied at the the border, and the exchange rate, and...

Once again, thanks to everyone who chimed in. I will be shopping for 2014+ farkles and a 2017+ service manual. Cheers. Haynes

Thank you all for your very quick responses, I can tell that there's a great community here. Let the farkling begin! Haynes

I am returning to Super Tenere ownership after a 2 year absence. Previously I owned a 2013 and have just placed a deposit on a 2024. Forgive me but I have a couple of questions that I have been unable to find simple answers to, despite running many searches on this forum. 1) My...

I don't ride snowmobiles: they're dangerous!;):p Haynes

I rode a combined distance of 47,100km (29,266 miles) this past season: 19,000km on my Super Tenere and 28,100km on my FJR. As someone already said, where you live can have an effect on the distances you amass over a season. I live north of the 49th parallel and my season began on March 15 and...

No patriotism here: I'm from Canada. I do however appreciate well made products regardless of where they're made and I believe in supporting North American businesses whenever I can. Haynes

Altrider crash bars, skid plate, side stand switch guard and the U-joint and brake reservoir guards. (I also have the Altrider rear luggage rack.) Quality stuff and made in the USA. The stock Yamaha U-joint and brake reservoir guards are poorly designed and are an accident waiting to happen...

@regder - I think we might be twins: I too wear an Under Armour base layer plus a long-sleeve thermal top and thin socks under the heated gear. I wear a KLIM Badlander jacket and KLIM Badlander or Latitude pants (depending on which bike I'm riding). Also: Firstgear (Warm & Safe) jacket...

I found a YouTube video on how to change the oil seal but I'm a little leery about drilling into the old seal and inserting a sheet metal screw without damaging what's behind the seal. Since you've changed a few of the seals, approximately how deep do you drill into the old seal? Also, if I...

Three of the four leaks were on the drive gear side (wheel side), one was where the driveshaft enters the pumpkin. I had the coupling gear replaced after the driveshaft leak. Since you haven't had any FD issues I'm curious: Do you do much riding on gravel roads and trails? Unfortunately I...

I've got 196,500km on my 2013. No engine problems but I did have a spoke in the rear wheel let go at about 25,000km and do a lot do damage, and I have had the final drive leak four times. Haynes

For those looking for this type of "cleat" they're properly called "Footman Loops". Might make finding them a little easier. Haynes

My 2013 came with Metzler EXPs and I quickly wore them out and switched to Heidenau K60s which, other than 2 sets of Mitas E07 Dakars, are my go to tires. Some have complained that the Heidenaus are not good in the rain however this has not been my experience. They may take a little longer to...

Aqcon: I am fairly new to this Forum, though I have lurked here for a while, and I stumbled in tonight to find your query about buying a used, high mileage Super Tenere. I'm late to the show and realize that you have already purchased the bike however I just wanted to chime in to let you know...
