Overview
2012 Yamaha Super Tenere in blue (the best looking color!). This is a 1 owner bike, I purchased it new and configured it for a trip to Alaska and has seen many other states in between. It is set up for comfort and long haul touring. I rode my 1st Iron Butt ride on this bike completing 1,116 miles in 20 hours. I rode and maintained this bike like I was going to keep it forever, as that is what I thought I was going to do. But a job change, kids, and general life changes have found me not riding the bike much at all in the past 2 years. I have decided to sell it instead of having it sit collecting dust in the garage. I would not hesitate to hop on it today and ride it ANYWHERE. It has been dead reliable. I would say 85% of my riding was road (commuting and camping trips) and 15% off-road (gravel & dirt 2 tracks). This has by far been my favorite bike I have ever owned. Bike currently has ~80k miles on it.
Maintenance
Oil & filter was changed originally at 400 & 1,400 miles for break in with OEM Yamaha oil, then every ~4,000 miles with Mobile 1 Full Synthetic.
Final drive fluid was changed every other oil change with Mobile 1 synthetic gear lube.
Final drive shaft splines were cleaned and greased every tire change.
Valves were checked/adjusted & new spark plugs @ 24k and 56k.
Brake & clutch fluid flushed/replaced @ 27k.
Front & rear brake pads changed @ 60k.
Final drive inner o-ring and oil seal replaced @70k.
Forks serviced/rebuilt @ 76k with Stoltec .90 straight rate fork springs
Warranty/Recall
Headlight wiring harness was replaced under warranty @ 44k
Cam chain tensioner was replaced under warranty with the upgraded part # @ 56k
Cam chain was also replaced under warranty @ 56k
Body
The bike is extremely clean and well cared for, but this is not a garage queen. The bike was used for its intended purposes so there are a normal amount of scuffs and scratches. The right side AltRider crash bar has a scuff on it form a low speed dump. There are 2 small dings on the top right side of the gas tank.
Included Accessories
Deal Details
I am located in the far NW corner of Indiana, about an hour from Midway airport in Chicago, and 1.5 hours from Ohare. I can easily coordinate a fly and ride for you.
$4,200
Additionally Available
I am not parting these items out at this time. First option goes to the buyer. If buyer does not want them, then I will remove them and make them available separately on the forum after the sale completes
(+$500) Jesse Luggage Pannier Set
Odyssey II 10" black bags with mounting racks and lid loops. 2 keys included. The right pannier has some scrapes from a low speed dump and the lid is slightly tweaked. The bag is still completely water tight and 100% functional, it just takes a slight more effort to latch the lid.
(+$200) Bill Mayer Custom saddles
Hands down the best aftermarket seat I have ever owned. Custom made for a ~250lb rider including gear. Includes both driver's and passenger's seats. Here is a link to their page:
