    Corrosion inside rims?

    Yes, little silver areas inside the rim, powdery until scothbrite then smooth. Not just the bead area but scattered throughout inside of rim. I have always used commercial grade tire lube to install (using buddy's tire machine at his moto shop). No bead sealer. Balanced with weights when needed.

    Corrosion inside rims?

    Anybody have corrosion inside their rims? 2012 ST with 60K miles. I am having slow air leaks around the bead on my last 2 sets of E07 tires due to corrosion where the tire beads to the rim. Have removed tires, cleaned, and scotchbrited the bead surface. I am reluctant to aggressively sand where...

    Tenere seat recommendations

    I recommend Terry's Custom seats in Manchester TN. I was the first Tenere seat he did a few years ago and it is great. I had a Russell on my honda st1300 and this compares nicely for a lot less cost. I have done several 800 mile days back to to back, a few 1000 mile days and routine 500 milers...

    HARD START

    Well, it is usually the simplest solution as many of you pointed out. 14s battery arrived today, bike fired right up. Many thanks for all the input. I have never had a 19 month Yuasa go out before but you live and learn. Should have load tested as suggested right up front. I usually replace...

    HARD START

    Good input guys, it truly is a global forum. Think I will take suggestions and do the following: 1. wait on 14s, fully charge on the bench, install and give it a try. 2. If no go, check/replace the plugs 3. Check coils (not sure how to do this?? Is there a procedure (I have a service manual...

    HARD START

    Thanks again fellas, When I jump start (or if I get the new 14s I ordered and install before I try next) should I start with no throttle or throttle wide open? The bike has been sitting since Tuesday night. Thx again

    HARD START

    Thanks guys for the input. The battery is 19 months old, not 5 years - and has been maintained on a tender and the bike ridden several times a week if not daily. I understand the flashing is a weak battery but it was after cranking for many minutes. I will jump start next time I try and will...

    What Seat Do You Have On Your Yamaha Super Tenere ?

    Check out Terrys Custom Seats in Manchester TN. He makes a Russell like bucket (I had a Russell on my St1300 and loved it) but in vinyl it is only $250. I love mine. He gets pictures of you on the bike (like Russell) and custom builds. I rode 850 miles one day and 700 a few days later. It is a...
