I have a damaged right side OEM side case. The damage is to the mounting side. Guessing many of the side and corner pieces are the same side to side. Call me Saturday or whenever. I can deliver it to you. Would be glad to get rid of it. It was two years ago today that it was damaged in a slow right side crash (mud).archer said:
The first thing that really hits you is how smooth the '15 is compared to the earlier model. Both my earlier Teneres really smoothed out over the first 5K miles. This one out of the box is very noticeably smoother than the two broken in '12s.Balmorerider said:
Yes, I got one step closer to losing the bike at lunch yesterday. I just happened to mention the bike had hazard lights and she came back with, Really!! I want hazard lights. Not sure how long I'll be able to hold on to this one.Tyke said:Hide the keys
Hazard Lights can easily be added to a Gen 1 bike ::017::Dirt_Dad said:
That also came up. She wants those, the new mirrors, the '14 clutch basket, cruise control... She had a pretty good list going.AVGeek said:

Bike is much more responsive to throttle input in Sport mode. It's definitely quicker. I like throttle response. It's taking me some discipline to get that feel for this one. Not complaining, I love it when things happen when I twist my wrist. Just need to learn to twist less when going around a traffic congested corner. Some will call it twitchy, I call it nice. >
Overall feel is more refined than the earlier model. Others have said, and I agree, it seems like Yamaha was listening to what a lot of us said. Adding hazard lights, cruise control, electronic suspension, removing the need to reach in front of the bars to check MPG or temp, even greatly improved mirrors, the '15 just feels like a better thought out bike. It's definitely not a redesign, but little improvements in lots of places that go a long way towards making it a better ride experience.
