Hello everyone,
Nice to see a dedicated forum for the Tenere. This is my first post so big hellos and waves in all direction. I need some advice from experienced users.
I purchased a 2015 1200XTZ Super Tenere used last week. It has around 10,000 miles on it.
The seller installed a pair of new tires and didnt ride the bike at all for a few months. After I bought the bike, I noticed very strong vibrations at exactly 50MPH (85kmph). If I speed up or slow down, the vibes go to a minimum. This also happens if I coast at 50MPH with the clutched pulled in. So it doesnt look like there is an issue with the Engine.
Could it be Flatspots from the bike sitting around?
Or could it be that the new tires were balanced incorrectly which the seller wouldnt know as he hasnt touched the bike after replacing the tires.?
Or is the Clutch Basket Vibrations( Have read about it in the forum. I dont completely understand it)
I think I will gather some knowledge around this before giving the bike in for service. The dealer is out of question. I will be asking some dedicated motorcycle shops to look at it but wont be specialized for the S10.
I installed Grip puppies last month on my other bike and will be doing the same soon for the S10
Thanks!
