$2500 or trade for something I can sell
Short Version: 2014 Yamaha Super Tenere with 80k miles that drives and runs, was my daily driver until Aug 2022 but mechanic said performed poorly on engine leak down test and had tight exhaust valves. It starts right up and runs good but at 80mph had a weird lack of power and thats why I took it in.
Stuff:
- title is clean in my name from Georgia no liens
- trex skid plate (need to tighten bolts)
- happy trails crash bars not mounted
- denali horn
- helibars thing puts bars closer and higher and extends brake line
- happy trails rack and panniers
- ernie something flatved 5.25gal aux fuel tank plumbed to main tank with on off valve
- gel heated seat custom made by (??? Need to look it up)
- aux lights
- eastern beaver fuse block
- tool box by pannier
- maybe more if i find box of parts but its midnight and I am tired so this could be it or i coukd find box with rear seat, windshield and stuff.
Issues:
- one leaky fork seal
- low engine compression (40 on one cyl, 28 on other)
- tight exhaust valves
- mechanic left it in pieces, i paid and picked it up and hastily put it back together. What I am saying is you should tighten bolts and such. I couldnt get skidplate to line up and said the heck with it.
- recent clutch
Long Version: i bought it used with 32k miles and no history about 4 years ago. Used daily and for long work trips. I did usual (to me) maintenance but no valve checks. That probably was the problem. Mechanic said it could by a grand more or $3k more and would know until he spent the first grand adjusting tight exhaust valves to see if that was the extent of the issue or not. My wife said I should get a new bike rather than putting $ into this and I am not going to argue with a women authorizing a new bike purchase.
I am in Monroe, GA 30655 which is a suburb of Atlanta. I am doing a trip to Arkansas leaving 7Oct and can trailer it to you for $ if on the way.
