Same here, it's gotta be about or just over half the value in repairs.

Stopped by the dealer I have the bike at and got word that all but (I believe) 1 part has come in. They are going to start working on it this week and I may get it back in about 2 weeks!

So, a lot of time has passed since my last update. I'll do my best to fill in the blanks for everyone.

Wow, hard to imagine so much damage from something that didn't even dismount you. Think a set of crash bars coulda stopped most of it?
Good for you having the ride back. Its gotta feel good. Just got my 21 a month ago and trying to ride every day, but nowhere near your range.

Crash bars would have likely saved the bike.

25,195/changed rear pads as I made a habit of using the rear break more than the front for some reason/3 October 2021
They were well done!

I would think that anything that bends the frame, would totally crumple a crashbar.
Is that the first time for the rear set?

For me 25,000 seems to be about the maximum miles for rear pads on the Tenere , the fronts seem to go over twice as far.
I tend to think you're right. I'm at a little more than 15k, and they're guestimating half way on my rear pads; front look brand new. Obviously, the more highway miles a person rides, the longer the pads will last. I almost use my fronts exclusively. Yes, I know the rears activate with the fronts. And, I really use the engine compression. So, I'm curious how long the pads will last; front & rear. The RT's front lasted well over 50k miles, and they got abused; 10k for the rear. Whereas the ST's only lasted 5k; front & rear. 
All pads used were OE.

First time replacing the brakes, fronts seem to have a little under half life left.

I also installed the Hippo Hands that I ordered last year for the bike. Going to try them out tomorrow morning on the way to work.

28,159/did oil (switched to synthetic) and final drive oil as well/18 December 2021
How long have some of you gone between changes with synthetic oil? I don't want to start the war on what oil you all use haha, just wondering as I've been running conventional Yamalube since new and changing every 4,000 miles.

I go 5000 miles…..anyplace other than the USA had 6000 mile changes compared to our 4000 mile service. Just seems to be a good compromise.

Just got a new motorcycle cover as a Christmas gift. My Ténéré will be much happier now!
