Hello - new member from Idaho. Looking to switch out my BMW F800ST for something a little more dual sport. Working with a dealer on a trade for a 2013 S10. Looking forward to all your advice.

Welcome - You'll find these forums a great help. I got my white 2013 last March and by reading up on what options there were for farkels, managed to find just what I needed. Making the bike your own and customizing it to fit your needs is 1/2 the fun.
There are a lot of Tenere riders in the Pacific NW and many of us are talking about the new Idaho Back Country Discovery Route. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw some of us there this summer. Join in on the discussions on the PNW Tenere Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/508180775912122/
The going price for a new 2013 is under $11,000 which I'd call a bargain. http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/mcd/4851288342.html

The one I'm looking at is at Tigard BMW. $8995. Any reason I shouldn't? I can't think of one!pnelson said:

What is the clutch basket mod for? Is it something to be concerned with on a 2013? Thanks in advance!

Involves switching out the clutch basket with one from a 2014 model. Eliminates some noise and vibration in the 3000 ish RPM range. Some bikes are worse than others...definitely not something to be concerned about.Anwar Namtut said:

That bike at Tigard BMW looks like a nice one. It already has an Alt-Rider skidplate which saves you $375 and a couple hours of work installing it. It's one of the better skidplates as it mounts to the frame and not to the engine case. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/altrider-skid-plate-yamaha-super-tenere-xt1200z-2011-2013
If you come over to get it, let us know when and we'll ride over to meet you for a welcome ride!

Thanks. Good to know on the skidplate. I'm coming over on the 31st to get it. It'll be a trailer this time of year, though!pnelson said:

Thanks. Good to know. Sounds to me like noise and vibration could be called "character."escapefjrtist said:
