I also think of this like Car Talk. I read the problem Most of the time I just shrug my shoulders. Sometimes I come up with my solution and wait to see if I am right. Unfortunately I am not.
Problem when shifting down into 2nd and 1st
- Thread starter The Mountain
- Start date
Oh, we do crow about all that stuff. IIRC it starts about September or October . . . . about what we hope Mama-Yama does to our beloved Tenere.
I'm still asking them after 5 years !Another season of the same (relatively) new owner questions.

I've been in a Kawasaki Triples forum for over 20+ years and yes the same questions pop up on there every year (Why do I end up in the hedge on a set of twisty bends?, How do I remove my kids dead hamster from the airbox in one piece?), but some people (like me) want to learn how they work, issues others have had & how to modify / improve their bikes.
I've only had my 2010 Tenere for over a year and learned loads off this forum since I first logged in... if I'd have read about the early clutch & camchain death rattles beforehand I would of probably bought a later model, but hey, I like fixing & modifying so no big issue.
You can gain a fair bit of knowledge just by reading through all the questions & technical 'bumf' from over the years that others have asked about and avoid the pitfalls / f**kups that modifying or servicing your bike can bring.
'If you don't ask the question you'll never learn the answer' is what I used to tell my aircraft apprentices... and the answers I've seen on here are way more knowledgeable than the ones I've seen on Facebook thats for certain!
By the way, I have a problem... I keep finding neutral between 1st and 2nd gear... Is this normal?... My H1E triple has neutral at the bottom (N,1,2,3,4,5)

anyone else have other issues that caused this? im thinky the spring on the shaft....... sounds like alot of work on a bike with 72,000 miles i wanna sell. then, while the '12 id apart, do i drop a new the clutch in there? i hate decisions
Message TABASCO. He has a list of assorted parts for a clutch replacement. Some OE, and some after market. All your questions will be answered correctly.
Sounds like you need this thread: https://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/sticky-downshifting-smooth-upshifting.26991/#post-381046

There was a recall over a limited number of VINs for broken shift springs, at least for the 2015 models.
