    Any members in Moab 24 May 2016

    ...and if so, would be willing to share your camping spot? I've been planning a trip to Canyonland for the past several weeks. I looked at available spots 2 weeks ago and all but one was available. Went to reserve today and they are all taken. I did get a spot for 25 and 26 May, but was hoping...

    Won't Start

    I recently installed 2 inch risers and now the bike won't start. I don't know if the two are related, but here are the details. I rode home, 30 miles, let the bike cool down and installed the risers. A 10 minute job, but I noticed the clutch cable and brake lines were very tight. After a little...

    Cran Case Vent, lesson learned

    I finally changed my air filter at 30k miles (way too long I know) and found a lot of oil in the air box. I noticed some in the separator and kind of forgot about it. Anyone else seen this? Any reason for concern or recommendations (other than changing the filter more often. And yes I still...

    Left Side Cover Removal

    I've seen a few threads that show the left side cover removed to replace spark plugs or CCT, but none that show how to remove the cover itself. I'm sure it's not difficult, but is anyone willing to spare me the guesswork and explain exactly which bolts are required to come off? Thanks a bunch, CB

    Rigid Dually D2s

    I found a good deal on the Rigid Industries Dually D2s. I like the 6" bar, but the Dually's are about half the price. $150 for the lights and everything required to hook them up. I just had to make a bracket from a peice of drilled steel, run some wire, turn some bolts, and an hour and half...

    One Year Old

    Today was the one year anniversary since bringing home my Tenere. Other than having the headlight harness replaced I haven't had a single issue. My goal was to hit 15,000 miles and I got pretty close.

    Parts Diagrams

    By chance I found the below link online. It has cut-away diagrams of almost all major parts and components. I'm sure they are from the service manual, but I thought them to be interesting and figured someone else might as well. I am not affiliated in anyway with the vendor, and know nothing...

    Riding in the Wind

    I had a rough ride home last night getting pushed all over the road by the wind. The only thing about the Tenere that I don't prefer over my previous bike is the way it gets pushed around. I know the difference is nearly 12 inches higher in the saddle and 300lbs lighter, so I'm not surprised...

    Passenger Handle Fabrication

    I removed the passenger seat from my bike. That left the big passenger grabs handles sticking up above the now empty plate and my OEM side cases. Despite the function for keeping a soft bag in place, I didn't like the way the big handles looked. So, following some great advice from this...

    2000 Mile Report

    I hit 2 months and 2000 miles today. I love the bike and wanted offer my thoughts so far. Except for test riding a Stelvio and a GSA, I've only ridden Harleys. By comparison, this bike is the best I've ever ridden. It handles great, it runs smooth, it's great in traffic, and the TC has kept my...

    Rear Luggage Rack

    This isn't so much of a mod, but I hate to waste anything and figured many of you are the same. So, take it for what it is and if it helps someone then great. I did the seat leveling mod a few weeks back. I cut the bumpers and it didn't do the trick, so I removed them completly and cut off...
