Did your bike come with a red key & imobilizer system?

No, just two black keys. Rides slow and smooth during break in mode. Nothing to report yet, but I plan to test it.

Happy birthday to me ,I have my Tenere.Truck unloaded about 3pm,back home about 6pm-put 20 miles on it on some curvy backroads .For a big bike it feels light on it`s feet but stable .Took it easy on the motor but it feels very torque`e.It doesnt get any better than this,63 tomorrow and i feel like a 6 year old at christmas.Also they unloaded a raven that is waiting for a buyer-1st guy backed out.I bet i wont sleep a wink tonight,my vin # is 000101. ;D

Sportrider, how does it feel compared to the 950SM?

I rode my 950sm up to test ride the S10 in June. The S10 is smoother, heavier and more refined. I loved the ride and thought I may sell the sm when the s10 comes in. Coming off the S10 and back to the 950sm for the ride home I realize the sm is a houligan that feels lighter, turns quicker, begs for wheelies and has no wind protection. I plan to keep the sm for hot weather playing locally and use the s10 for longer rides. S10 handles better than I expected it to, feels very light once underway, love the 6th gear OD, love the comfy seating and leg room, bike is smooth. I am not disapointed to replace my 05 fjr with the s10, but I did notice a little heat coming from the left side radiator. May not be an issue, but I did feel the heat coming back at my leg.

P.S. Mine came with Battlewings.

And we using Roseville 10 minutes up the road got phone calls 7 hours ago telling us the 15th! LMAO! I guess we'll be getting calls tomorrow!? What a riot. Something about the left hand not telling the right comes to mind.

Well Heck, that is encouraging. My dealer called back and revised his original date from August 4 or 5 to, "around the 15th - 17th." We'll see because parts called back 2 hours later to tell me me parts were in. Those weren't supposed to be here until the end of August.

I plan on going to my dealer Saturday when I get off work to try and get a better idea. In the grand scheme of it, it is really no big deal. I just want it as soon as it is ready. I do hate California and its bureaucracy though. California only bikes due to emissions and enough red tape to sink an aircraft carrier.

Welcome aboard!! Glad to see you come out of "lurk" mode!!

I'm not so sure this is the dealers doing.. I'm thinking it's the PDP lineup.. when did you order yours ? Mine was 11-23-10 Anywayl when you do get it we.. as in us local boys will have to go for a ride.

 

[kevozzi 53]

The Yamaha shop called today to say my black Tenere has arrived! They are waiting for my accessories!

 

[dastard]

So a shop monkey on advrider was talking about a test ride and trying to wheelie the bike. Ive never bought a new bike so dont know what the standard is. 0 miles on the odo? Is a shop monkey test ride standard? I assume if I ask to be the first to ride it, that is a reasonable request?

PDP March 28. I think that through this thread we've pretty much seen that the PDP thing is out the window. The only places it's showing up now are at the dealer level. Five bikes in? Earliest PDP gets his done first. 30 bikes like Tony has got coming! WOW! Earliest PDP first again. Mine will be the last built in Roseville, but that doesn't mean it stays in the warehouse waiting on a timer to tick away, they're all out there, now. The dealers just don't seem to know it till they show up at their back gate. They're going by the last paperwork they got, thus our phone calls today. Mine will be built, what, three days after the first one? Same day even, if they're not busy. We can't ever say this wasn't exciting, can we, LOL.

My PDP didn't go thru until January 4th. I don't mind the waiting, as long as the dealer can give me a firm time-line. I'm 200 miles round-trip from the dealer, and A) need to arrange a ride up; B) need to schedule a day off of work; and C) need to get a sales contract to my Credit Union and pick up the cashiers check. The dealer changing dates frequently is not making things any easier for me. I hope the bike sits in the back of the shop unmolested while I work out A, B and C. Maybe Don and Phil can make sure its hidden away safely when they pick theirs up.

I always check the ODO on a new bike before I accept delivery. Anything under a couple of miles is fine with me. If it has more than that, I'll ask. So far, I've never had a problem.

I also go over the bike very carefully checking for any kind of damage, scratches, dings, etc. I want to be the first one to apply those custom, personalized features.

WOW!, Thanks for the offer Phil! I'll definitely keep you in mind.

 

[Don in Lodi]

There, you see! And you'll be passing through Lodi twice! If it works out to be a Tuesday when your ABC's are complete, I'll ride back with you on the back roads. I can get you to Modesto without touchin' freeway.
