Thanks for pursuing this Checkswrecks because there really is a hard start problem here. I'm not sure how to proceed with it though. I've experienced the problem twice and the first time took it to the dealer expecting it to be a warranty issue, but received a $250 bill for their services. The...

Re: HARD TO START Hello tomatocity...thanks for the thoughtful reply. ...It is the original battery, although when the problem first happened, the battery was 2 years old theoretically. ...I do keep the battery on a tender. ...The gasoline was fresh when the problem occured last summer and...

Re: HARD TO START Here's my hard start story...The bike is a first generation 2012 with 19K on it now. The first no start occurred about a year or so into it's life. I started to tear into it to see why it wouldn't start and then I remembered it's under warranty... let Yamaha deal with it. So I...

EricV, thank you for the quick response..."don't seem" decodes to "don't". I think I threw in the "seem" for the possibility of operator error.

Sorry if this has been covered already but I'm just getting around to installing the top case on the bike. The three extra lock cylinders that come with the bike don't seem to work with the two ignition keys....am I missing something? Like extra keys? Thanks for your help

Yah, they charged me. They didn't explain why it happened, or even that it was something they've ever seen. I'm embarrassed. In their defense...this is a multi-line dealer and I don't think they see many Tenere's even though they supposedly sell them. I question the need to pull the FI fuse if...

I recently experienced the no start issue. I don't go on the forums much so I wasn't aware of a pattern issue with this at all, so I approached this just like any other no start issue I've had. I happen to be an automobile technician and have dealt with no start issues hundreds of times with...

Nope....I think you need to re-read the original question again Mr Karson. I'm simply answering the question. Just because my views don't align with yours, doesn't make my beliefs..."BS" as you say. Your extrapolating my desire to do away with the IRS and other agencies, into my wanting people...

The longer the government is "shut down" the happier I am. They should shut down some things that will really make a difference though, like the internal revenue service, department of energy, scale back the environmental protection agency....and so on.....

Working all this week but if you're gonna find yourself in midwestern NH stop by.

I usually get over there a few times a summer.....give us lots of advance warning. Sounds like fun.

I'm about 15 minutes down the road from you.....let me know if you decide to get one!

I've got a little over 4k on the bike and I think this is the most comfortable stock seat I've ever had. What I really need is some highway pegs of some sort so I can stretch my legs out from time to time when doing long hauls. Its the knees...not the arse thats the problem. No matter what bike...

I'm with this guy...+3

Not much activity on the regional section here.......Anybody else care to check in with their more specific locations? Maybe it will start some banter which could lead to....who knows, a meet or a camp out or whatever. It would be great to see some other Teneres in the region. I'm located in...

See the above post......Here ya go......these guys are great. I did a fly and ride to Shreveport, LA and they picked me up and delivered me to their dealership. Excellent people and extremely professional operation. Highly recommended by me and others.

I've got the yammi tank bag as well. It's made for the bike...so it fits. Really easy to take off so you can gas her up and thats probably another good reason to have a bag thats specifically made for the bike. Has huge capacity too. Glasses pouch handy as well. Cheap....need I go on?

Like everyone else has said.....thank you. For having the forsight, knowledge, and taking your personal time to do it. This will take on a life of its own and continue to be a great resource, getting better and better.

Thank you...I'll try it out.

Thanks for the information....What if anything typically...or might you expect would break when using the proposed set-up and the bike goes down? I'm not familiar with the micatech mounts because my experience is with Gobi's and BMW Bags. The Gobi's are bomb proof but the BMW set up usually...
