    Must Sell my brand new 2016 Super Tenere 60th Anniversary

    I bought my Super Ten on March 24th and have ridden it twice, 153 miles on the odometer. Unfortunately due to family matters I'm going to have to sell the bike and move out of state - no riding for the next year or so. The bike is perfect, no dents, dings, scratches or damage of any kind...

    I'm thinking of upgrading my '14 Tenere to a heavier rate Race Tech rear shock spring. Anyone have any experience with the rear shock removal and spring upgrade? It doesn't look too difficult to remove but from pryor experience with dirt bikes I know that it can sometimes be pretty labor...

    600 mile service

    Has anyone noticed any difference in performance after the first service was completed? I'm thinking of doing the service myself and aside from the throttle body sync. everything else looks pretty simple. The bike idles and runs fine so is there any need to perform the throttle sync.?

    Super Tenere Engine Performance At Altitude.

    I have had my bike here in So. Cal. for about 3 months and I have yet to ride at any altitude above 1500'. This summer I'll be taking a trip to Colorado where we will be doing some pretty high altitude riding and I'm wondering how much engine power will be affected. I recall reading in some...

    Tomorrow is the big day.

    That is correct, I will no longer be a " lurker." l become an official ST Owner and I will finally be able to find out for myself what these bikes are all about. My plan was to wait until the spring but my time-table got moved up a few months. Goodbye BMW and hello Super Tenere!

    Yamaha Accessory Packages

    After looking at the three accessory packages that Yamaha has available for the ST, I've come to the conclusion that I want something from each package but not everything. Is it possible to order individual items such as heated grips, side cases, skid plates, etc. separately?

    Placing My Deposit This Week ... anyone from So.Cal.?

    I live in the Simi Valley/ Thousand Oaks area of Ventura County, California and I was wondering if there is anyone in my area that has ordered your ST from one of the local dealerships and if so what kind of a deal did you get? I've seen some pretty good deals that others on this site have...

    Re: Jimmy Lewis Dirt Rider Review

    I was a little concerned about the real world performance of the ST until I read the Jimmy Lewis review. Yamaha is asking a lot from the 1st time buyers since none of us are going to get a chance to ride one of the things until delivery but I guess if it gets Jimmy's stamp of approval than it's...

    Service Intervals

    Well after seeing the bike at the Long Beach M/C Show I was impressed and I've pretty much decided to buy the Tenere over a GS Bmw. What are the service intervals such as oil change, throttle body sync, valve checks, etc. ?
