Salesman said it was coming from the central Yamaha storage that all the dealers have access to in Adlington... so I wonder if they have just bought it from the Chorley branch... EDIT, just looked it up, Adlington is about 4 miles south of Chorley!A Preston registration number. Must be coming from Chorley, not Wigan?
Thanks ... I remember I switched them for Blueflames which were lovely, Scorpions always seemed a favourite with XJR lads.Mint, nice to see the original exhausts....
. . . . and having sold my troublesome GS I wanted a simple, reliable workhorse for touring before such bikes sell out without the worry of a GS, KTM, Ducati, Triumph gadget, sales pitch on wheels etc breaking down. Nice to see Yamaha still at the top of the reliability listing with BMW at the bottom. . . .
Welcome from Texas. I agree with your reliability assessment(s). But, don't be surprised if you get some push back from certain members though. The re-map actually slows the throttle response down. "I" love the factory throttle setting(s). Many here hate it, and like a carburetor style response instead. But, I agree with tallpaul, give the bike a chance "as-is". And, don't be too certain that the Tenere can't keep up with whatever your mates are riding. The Tenere is deceptively quick/fast, and when you get the suspension sorted. . . . she'll handle quite well.Thanks for the welcome folks.... interesting about the re-map, so it doesn,t give you 20 hp more, just a quicker throttle response!? I am not bothered either way, it's not the bike to go charging around on. I go out with mates 3-4 times a week and it will make me slow down a bit. . . .
My reg is PJ70 (reg 30/11/20) and is also from Wigan YamahaMike, yes ordered from Wigan Yamaha, (stock photo) i don,t expect I will get it anytime soon. I have also asked for it to be delivered unless I hire a car. They have told me it's registration PE70 OTK and said they would take some pics of it for me. I don,t think it has even arrived from central Yamaha storage yet but no rush. Have you seen yours in the dealership? Do you know it's reg etc, it could be close to mine. Have fun on her mate. If you go in have a butchers for mine
