    More noise with crashbars

    As a point of reference I installed the Touratech skid plate last week and it came with a 12" x 8" piece of rubber with self-adhesive that you place on the bottom tray. I've heard no increase in sound with that install. I'm sure you'll solve your issues with a little trial & error!

    Variation on the seat mod with pictures

    Just wanted to offer a little cheaper though non-reverseable mod variation I just performed on my 2015 S10 using the low seat setting and stock seat. Rather than spending $15-20 to buy new bumpers, I simply cut the back four bumpers in half using a razor blade. I don't plan to ever-ever go...

    Super Ténéré 2017 & Beyond...

    Agree, that is really insane they turn that function off with clutch in. I'm a new S10 rider, only got 800 miles on my non ES 15, but to me by far the biggest issue is the seat, I always feel I'm sliding forward and leaning on the handlebars, the pegs seem too far back to me, and can't...

    Can't decide on crash bars

    Haven't found much info on the Touratech crash bars. Anyone have any feedback on going down with these? Also do you need to pull the bars to service anything under the side covers? Am interested in getting some crash bars I don't need to remove to service the bike.

    Whine at 50 mph

    Thanks to you both for the info. Really didn't realize there would be so many choices for skid plates, crash bars, side cases, etc. Plus I'm guessing there is probably some compatibility issues if I mix and match brands with things like engine guards and skid plates. I can see I'm going...

    Whine at 50 mph

    Both. selling my DR650 and got the Tenere to ride to events and do more long distance stuff. So need some boxes that will hold up to some falls though will probably take them off during events. What's wrong with the Yamaha skid plate and crash bars?

    Whine at 50 mph

    That exactly what I did, first taped the panel below the windshield, noise continued. Then taped up the top of both headlights. Found it was caused by air coming in over the top of the right side headlight, not the left side. Pulled the windshield, top trim, and headlight trim panel and...

    Whine at 50 mph

    That sounds like a very likely cause, I'll check that out tomorrow, thanks much. Got the bike back from the dealer today for the 500 mile service and they had two mechanics ride it. One couldn't hear, the other did. He said the noise was caused by the alternator (stator). I find that hard...

    Whine at 50 mph

    Thanks for the help. Noise does not get louder on turns, stays constant at all speeds above 50 though once you get up to 60 or so the other sounds drown it out. I decided to have my local dealer do the 600 mile service for warranty reasons. I asked them to see if they can find what's...

    Whine at 50 mph

    Hey folks, new owner needs some quick help. Just bought a 2015 Tenere and rode it home from PA to GA (824 mile trip). It now has 836 miles and needs first service. A problem developed from the start of the ride, when the bike gets up to 49-50 mph I hear a high pitch whine from the front...
