Glad to see u got it fixed
So, what was the final fix?Fixed it! Thanks for thehelp guys. . . .
No need to feel embarrassed, we have all been there with some sort of a similar situation trying to figure out things that go amissI feel embarassed even saying. it was a bolt that was loose. The arm for the brake got loose and was rattling around. So as the suspension moved up and down it creaked a bit. That is why it was erratic. Took her for a spin and it was super quiet.
Before the trip all of this was tight. Somewhere south of lynchburg thats when it made that noise, but i put a few thousand miles before that and it was fine. I think i should have put some locktite in the brake arm bolts.
What's that back tire all about?Fixed it! Thanks for thehelp guys. Im glad it was this simple, but im also glad i pulled out the shaft and lubed it. never did that before
It's referred to as going to the "darkside". Some say . . . . that using a car tire on the Tenere is a good thing. Use the search box, and read about those that have done it . . . . and those that think they're crazy.What's that back tire all about?

Yes it's a car tire. Now everyone taste, but seems to work for me. I previously did it on my vstrom 650 and rode cross country on it and liked it. Definately plan on keeping it on and doing it in future bikes. I don't ride track day type of speed so i've not seen a performance issue for everyday riding.do you run a car tyre?? or is that just my poor old eyes...
