    Torn between buying another 2013 or a 2014 What's your opinion on my situation?

    +1 on getting ACV8130 to flash your ECU. He did mine and I'm incredibly happy. This and the clutch basket replacement for 12/13 years are in my opinion no brainer upgrades. Particularly the clutch.

    Clutch Basket Remove/Upgrade/Installation

    The metal part is actually just a part of the nut. Once you have the nut torqued to the correct tightness (very important, you need a torque wrench and if memory serves it is 90 ft lbs) you gently hammer the edge of the nut into a boss on the shaft (you can use the hammer on a small screwdriver...

    How much did your first valve adjustment service cost?

    Hey there fellow Tenereres... I dropped my bike (black 2012) off at my dealer yesterday to have the first valve adjustment service done. They have sold very few Teneres there and the mechanic admitted that they had yet to perform the 42,000 KM valve service on a ST. I have read the threads on...

    Clutch Basket Remove/Upgrade/Installation

    Went for a half hour ride the morning then brought her home, let her cool and slammed in the new 2014 basket. HOLY BALLS OF FLAMING MAGNIFICENCE! My bike is transformed. My 2012 with 43,000 KM on the odo had a very bad case of chudder... I even had my basket modded earlier this year which only...

    Clutch basket questions

    The following just sent... Hello Mr. Arcangeli, This is just a short email to let you know that I am an owner of a 2012 Super Tenere that suffers quite badly from what is known as 'clutch chudder' as a result of design issues with the clutch basket. It appears to be an almost universal issue...

    What Gives?

    It's the power. If Yamaha upped HO to north of 125 you'd probably see more takers. Most people are buying bragging rights and image. Last place in the Adventure Touring category for HP is a problem for many when dropping a chunk of cash on a lifestyle product. Now... If we can convince them to...

    Clutch basket questions

    Hey - just pinging this thread - I think one or two may have received their 2014 clutch baskets by now (I'm back-ordered until July 15) and am wondering if there are any early reports on how they are working in the 2012/13 bikes? Thanks!

    Clutch basket questions

    I just pulled mine and I can tell you that you can save yourself a lot of hassle and potential damage to the clutch hub by simply putting the bike on the center stand, in 6th gear and stomping on the rear break to prevent the clutch assembly from rotating while getting the big 30mm nut off...

    Clutch basket questions

    I've ordered too. What the hell - could be the best $40 spent ever. The price in Canada for this part is over $600 so this has to be a pricing error. Perhaps this is the motorcycling gods evening the score after what should have been a recall/free fix.

    Clutch basket questions

    Hey everyone... with respect to replacing a chuddering 2012 clutch with the improved 2014... what part(s) specifically need to be replaced? Is it just the "Primary Driven Gear Comp" which for 2012 is part number 23P-16150-00-00 with the 2014 part which is 2BS-16150-00-00? 2014 part...
