    He’s not a dealer purely a bike mechanic’s although he was a Yamaha approved dealer for a while but more on small stuff. I would recommend him.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Mark Davall motorcycles , Harlow ,Essex. I’ve used Mark for all my bike stuff for close to 30 years. The Tenere is really the first bike I’ve done any amount of work to myself , only the easy stuff oils, filters etc but this was beyond me but good for a bunch of miles and trips now.

    You guys wearing the front tire more than the rears?

    Fronts go before rear for me. AT41 front has worn in 6300 miles in an annoying way. Shoulders gone leaving the centre tread forming a ridge , handles awful. Rear has life left but both going. Bikes in next week for TA3’s and valves.
