    Yamaha Side Case Install-What am I doing wrong? PICS

    Ha, sorry about that.. what happens is that when the case is sitting properly on the mounting bar... the rubber foot placement peg thing doesn't really come close. Is it possible that the pieces that mount on the passengers foot pegs are backwards? I've watched the video and am sure I have...

    Yamaha Side Case Install-What am I doing wrong? PICS

    Hey guys.. I had the factory side case hardware installed at a local Yamaha dealership but didn't have the cases with me at the time of install. So I get back to the house ready to put the cases on and they don't fit. I'm wondering if any of you have been through this and could possibly tell...

    South Central VA loop

    Gorgeous ride today.. I got up Apple Orchard Mountain (4225') about 2:30 and it got a little chilly as expected. I saw the FAA radar from many miles away at the bottom of the mountain and was surprised I could ride right up to it. Kinda freaky up there by yourself sitting in front of that big...

    PREMIUM ONLY?

    Ethanol in and of itself.. no. But the problem is that all alcohol’s are hygroscopic. That means it likes water, and it attracts and couples with moisture in the air, resulting in greater amounts of water collecting in the fuel tank. It's my understanding that Ethanol by itself is over 100...

    PREMIUM ONLY?

    I wonder if this could possibly have something to do with "magic show" that is Ethanol fuel. I know most bikes will take up to E10 fuel but OEM's are also having some issues with keeping octane in the fuel.. little known fact is that you lose 2 points of octane when E10 fuel comes from the...

    Picking up the Tenere' today.. big day.

    Here she is.. about a 70 mile ride home from the dealership.. then I had to find some mud. Really surprised at how well this bike does in the corners. She's biggg.. feels bigger than my FJR height wise.. little higher leg throw than I'm used to and I'm 6'2". Felt like the seat wants...

    Picking up the Tenere' today.. big day.

    As I'm sure many of you can relate.. I've shopped extensively, lurked in this forum and waited even longer to get a ST. Well, today's finally my day... after looking at hundreds of pictures I decided to go with black. She arrived at the dealership yesterday and is getting assembled and...

    Side Cases included?

    Stupid question: Are the side cases included with the bike in the US Market for the 2012 Tenere'? Seems like I read somewhere that were going to be included the first year.. but optional the 2nd year. Maybe that was Europe?

    Black, Blue, Silver, White, Grey, Red, or Sand?

    Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White One thing that may help.. is being able to see some pictures of the black Tenere' with the bags on. All the pictures from YMUS shows the blue Tenere' with bags, action shots with bags.. but the black version is only without bags. Do any of you guys that...

    Black, Blue, Silver, White, Grey, Red, or Sand?

    Re: Black, Blue, Silver or White Gents: I've got a dilemma.. I've been waiting on my Tenere' for months like many of you and I kind of like the blue but haven't seen either color in person. I can have the black Tenere' shipped NOW... or wait 3 more weeks for a blue Tenere'. Like I said...
