Trailering a ES Tenere?

[Big Bill 51]

I may have to trailer my 2023 ES Tenere if the weather doesnt cooperate. Is there any setting that should be used for the suspension when it is straped on a trailer, hopefully the weather will be Ok and I can ride it home. (about 220 miles) Any other tie down tips for this bike would be welcome too...Thanks in advance.

No your fine. No specific settings needed. I strap her down by the crash bars towards the front/side and at the rear passenger handles towards the rear/side. Or the passenger footpeg brackets

If the trailer has a suitable bar under the front wheel strap the front axle both sides. Never the bars.

That’s how professional bike tower taught me.

Wheel chock, then soft ties at each side of the lower triple. Two straps at back to keep the bike from dancing around and you're good!

Order a Condor Chock . Most secure Chock IMHO. Then strap it down from the rear sets where the passenger foot pegs are. This way you don't compress the front suspension. For added measure you can use two ratchet straps going to the sides too. Condor chocks are worth the money you pay. Trailer only or the pit stop.

All great ideas guys, Thanks for the input. Long range weather shows it "might" be in my favor to ride it home.

I use thé pit bull system, no strapping anything down, just ride in and latch the 2 rear locks and go. It’s not cheap, but is a very solid, simple and reliable system.. a couple of adapters and it works with almost any other Motorcycle..

Pit Bull - Trailer Restraint System - Yamaha Super Tenere ('12-'14) [F0075EB-000]

This TRS features a wide frame which is necessary for the Super Tenere. This frame is somewhat specific and is not necessarily going to allow you to simply swap pins out to use on your next bike

Yes Northern Calif. Tenere Guy. I have lived in Calif all my life and havent seen a Winter like this for a long time, we sure needed it and Mother Nature has delivered. According to the 10 Day Forecast it looks like things are starting to settle down a bit, looking forward to getting this bike home and in my garage.

I ended up NOT having to trailer the S-10 home, weather cleared up for a few days and enjoyed putting the first 200+ miles on this bike. As much as I loved my 2016 Tenere I think this one is just a bit better, it seems a little bit smoother in the lower gears at slow speeds and the wind turbulence at speed seems less than the 16 model. Thanks for the tips in the above posts.
