Some or perhaps many months ago a guy posted a windshield for sale. He was in or near Lake Tahoe/Reno area. I said I would get it on my trip to the USA. Here I am in the USA heading slowly towards that area. Unfortunately I can’t find his contact info. All I have is 2 Ride the World. Can anyone...

After finding a very slight oil leak from the oil pickup assy I tried to get the original orings but there aren’t any in Mexico. I looked at get them in the US and having them shipped but this is also complicated as I leave on May 7 for a 3 month trip. The leak is very slight but it always...

I seem to have an oil leak from here. I believe it is an oil ring but if any knows the size and/or the part number I would appreciate it. Also if anyone has replaced it how difficult it is to do. It looks like I will have the take the headers off to get to the Allen bolt. Thanks for any help.

This plug is cracked not sure if it goes all the way through. Will it cause running issues? Does anyone know what size it is to get a replacement?

The bracket/stay which attaches to the frame has cracked on my bike. I don’t know why as it has never been crashed but I am guessing the rough roads if Mexico have finally taken the toll. I can’t find a part number for the piece. Hopefully somebody can help me. I am not sure what it is made of...

About 2 years ago I had to top up my clutch fluid. I had been riding in very hot conditions and thought it might have evaporated as there appeared to be no leaks. I bleed the system when I finished the trip 3 months and about 15,000 miles later. Today I had a low level again and bleed and...

I just switched the philips screw for Allen on my brake and clutch reservoirs. They are different lengths so check the size before you change them.

I cleaned my fork seal with a piece of 35mm film 2,000 kms ago and it started leaking again. I took the wheel and mudguard off this time and I think I did a better job of it as I was able to move the film around more. 150 kms later and no leak not even a trace of oil on my finger. Let’s see how...

I went out today. The bike started fine. I stopped for a few minutes after about 15 mins of riding. Bike started fine again. I then stopped again after about 10 minutes. After a 15 min stop I switched it on and pressed the starter and everything went out. After fiddling around I called a tow...

I recently replaced the Pinion oil seal. It still weeps a little. I recently rode 4,000 kms and it never leaked but wept from where the shaft bolts to the swing arm. When I replaced the seal I noticed a slight groove which had been worn by the seal into the coupling gear. Should I replace the...

I may need to change the pinion oil seal and while I am in that area thought I would change the final drive seal. Does anybody know what size the seals are? I believe the pinion seal is 65x50 but don't know the height. Thanks in advance Garry

I am on a trip from Mexico to The Great Lakes A few days ago the bike started to misfire just of idle. It happens at about 2,500 rpm. I changed the plugs before I left home about 3,500 miles ago. It hasn’t rained on the trip. Before I crossed the border I guess I got some bad gas. I filled up...

My wife and I recently attended the Super Tenere Rally in Tellico Plains. Tucson/Jaxon asked me to post pics of Mexico so here are some from today’s ride.

While on a recent trip to The States from my home in Mexico City I lost a spoke nipple. If anyone found it or knows where I can buy another I would greatly appreciate it. I replaced the nipple with another but it isn’t the same as you use a flat headed screwdriver and not an Allen.

As I live in Mexico and large bikes are rare strange things sometimes happen. The latest strange thing is Yamaha has doubled the price of oil filters. My question is will a Honda Africa twin filter fit? I cross referenced it and it said it is the same. After market filters are not commun so i am...

Hi I am new to the forum. I have a 2014 Tenere which I bought new in March 2015. We just came back from a 6.5 month trip to Alaska and back to Mexico City. The bike was pretty much flawless and still looks and runs great. It now has 61,000 kms of which 45,000 kms was on this trip Only complaints...
