The Super Duke is definitely the fastest bike I've ever ridden. That Engine is phenomenal - power everywhere, and with MIVV exhaust, it sounds like a MotoGp machine having angry sex. However, I'm 6'2" and just cannot get comfortable with it, in spite of the handlebar risers, lower pegs, and...

FWIW, you may be disappointed in the lack of torque produced by the 390, especially if you venture off-road. I’ve owned 2 DR650’s, and a 390 Duke (identical motor to the Adv), and can tell you that the 390 needs more grunt, IMO. I think the 390 engine is decent on pavement, but it wants to be...

SOLD. Enjoy, Aaron!

Re: For Sale: 2015 in Nashville, TN - Perfect Condition and Fully Farkled As requested, pictures with luggage. The clutch-side caribou case has scratches from another bike's lowside in 2012. I kept those cases in the garage and installed them on a new H&B rack when I bought this new...

Re: For Sale: 2015 in Nashville, TN - Perfect Condition and Fully Farkled Sorry for the delay - catching up on PMs now. By the way, the price is firm at $10,900, as it sits. The stock shock and muffler are included. Thanks Chris

[font=arial] SOLD I'll regret this, but my motorcycle ADD has kicked in, and I want a FZ-10. The garage already has 4 bikes, so the Tenere is for sale. 2015 Model 4,615 miles $10,900 firm It's in perfect condition - never dropped, never been off pavement. The performance mods work...

I just mounted my new Cogent shock last weekend. Love it! On my 2012, I had the Ohlins 013 shock, and this Cogent feels just as good - similarly plush, while very composed. I talked with Rick for almost an hour before ordering it - he also sells Ohlins, and shared some of the design and...

Here's a thread with pictures: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=1973.0 . Ignore the pigtails suggestion, just turn the adjustment screws 3/4 turn counter clockwise, then synch.

If you don't have a Power Commander yet, it will probably help. Most bikes, including the Tenere, are programmed with Lean fuel maps to satisfy the EPA. That causes lean surge, among other issues. Reducing exhaust restriction will exacerbate that problem. A PCV or other fuel module will...

Thanks for posting those pics ; it looks great. I've thought of the same solution for my bike, but couldn't visualize it.

I just did the same thing, again - the first time was in 2012. I loved the FJRs smooth thrust, but hated the heat and weight. Plus it always sucked to ride past those rutted gravel roads where I really want to be.

Ordered!

The Gen 2 & 3 FJRs are definitely "lazy" to turn-in, when stock. On my 2008, and now the 2014, I swapped out the dogbones to raise the rear 5/8 inch. That makes a huge difference in handling - it turns in much quicker now, but not so much that it's "twitchy". If you try this, don't add...

Re: H7 LED lights from Cyclops Adventure Sports For the past 6 months, I've been using the Cyclops LED headlight bulb in my DR650. I was not able to trim and re-install the rubber boot. It made me a little nervous, because I don't want crap - dirt, mud, bugs, my blood, etc. - getting into...

I didn't notice any additional noise. But, I also added a DG exhaust can, so maybe I'm a bad reference point. That airbox is very restricted. I was originally thinking that a new pumper carb was in my future, but those simple, cheap changes (main screw + airbox) made such a big improvement...

You're going to love the DR650. I've had mine about 7 months, and it's such a blast! It's also bulletproof. I'm 6'2" and this peg-lowering kit has been a knee saver: http://www.procycle.us/bikepages/dr650.html#controls. I have bought a bunch of stuff from ProCycle, and been reasonably...

This is exciting. I've written Yamaha a couple of times voting for the Tenere 660. This would be even better, though. Interesting factoid: the FZ-07's parallel twin has the same 270 degree firing order as the Super Tenere. With a heavier flywheel & tuning for torque, it would probably...

Re: For Sale: New Bash Plate (the apocalypse-proof one) Tentatively sold to pmcwil619. Thanks

For sale is my custom ordered RideOnAdv Bash Plate. I bought this from Jaxon in 2012, with a "world crosser" look, which tapers in near the top. I mounted the rear adapter, but never rode with the skid plate installed. A week later, I crashed and totaled the Tenere, and didn't ride for 18...

I had this HB mounting plate on the '12 Tenere I crashed. It's a very solid piece - much better mounting solution than any Givi or SW-M piece I've tried. The HB plate is a 2-piece solution, which replaces the stock Tenere mount completely. Once installed, it's solid. You probably won't...
