    Clutch Basket Remove/Upgrade/Installation

    \ When I put the Barnett middle weight springs in I took mine out and got it up to about 40 MPH and whacked throttle to its stop. At around 55 MPH clutch slipped a bit. I went up a notch on the springs and it solved it. Been the bomb ever since even when I had to feather & fan it in nasty...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Johnny Park ,CO exacted a bit of a toll on me last night. My dad was born in 1914 and was a 2nd generation well driller in the KY coal belt. I still have an old anvil that comes in handy on occasion. Tangent story: Dad had 2 sledge hammers when I was a teen (early 70s) I lost one on the job...

    Metzeler Tourance

    I have Tourance on my 13. Great road tire but I think they suck on anything but asphalt. I would go back to Mitas if I could find them.

    2013 Tenere purchase

    Mine started buzzing at 2800 and went through about 3400. IMO you have to be one tolerant son of a biscuit to tolerate that kind of engine vibration. First thang I did to mine was swap out the basket for a 2014 and put in Barnett parts. Been rock solid ever since. My 2013 also had a recall...

    Hard panniers breaking ankles...how?

    The guy who had my bike before me , for some reason , mounted the Moose hard bags rather high. I always thought they would be better lower down for weight distro. But I don't run a top case when I load up, just soft and low on the rack. I have dabbed a fair amount in rutted terrain and...

    Clutch Basket Remove/Upgrade/Installation

    Comfort? I found it highly annoying with a massive degradation in comfort and enjoyability :(to have that level of vibration right at one of the most highly used rpm levels. Changed mine out shortly after getting the bike. Would have sold it if could not have fixed it.;)

    where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

    Green River to Snowbird Leg. Had to ride down Hwy 80 for a few miles which sucked. Finally picked up some county roads heading south to Piedmont,WY where I encountered a massive flow of large 5th wheel campers and boats, coming out of Flaming Gorge I expect. Finally got back on dirt when I...
