HI NICK,

your going to struggle with that one, theres a set at the mo on ebay but USA, and in 6 yrs of owning one in the UK i have only seen one set
come on in the UK.
AS A NEWBIE as well you might want to introduce yourself first

welcome

rob s wales uk

Just guessing; could it be Nick from Winchester, formerly a KTM owner, who must have seen sense.
Interesting bikes that they are, KTM UK probably screwed him once too often on service costs & their habit of late season inventory dumping crashing residuals. Sorry, that was my 990 adv - it still grates on me 8 years later.

Sorry to say the grab handles are like hen's teeth, so it will be a wait for a breaker or bite the bullet with mail order............ https://www.crescentmoto.uk/genuine-yamaha-passenger-grab-bars-xt1200z-super-tenere.html

Anyway, welcome along, enjoy the new ride.

Hi guys

Thanks for all the info and yes I did see sense and move away from the KTM. Have got a really good deal on a new XT1200Z (couldn’t justify the extra pounds for a ZE) model. Will speak to the dealer later and see if he can get me one.

Bit about me... live in Winchester now but from South Wales originally.

Cheers
Nick

Does the UK version not come with the grab bars.

 

[ngilbo]

There’s basically three versions: the z, ze and Raid edition. The z doesn’t have them.

Wow, I knew about no center stands. Thanks.

 

[ngilbo]

Good point on centre stand. Do I really need one? Had one on my KTM but only used when I needed to do something on the chain. Also, Yamaha stock or has anyone tried the Hepco and Becker stand?

Thanks
Nick

easier to take the rear wheel off and front wheel for tyres and in winter uk i put it on centre stand in garage all the time to save the lean left side and that coil getting wet

If you live in the UK the ES is worth it. Unless you like changing your damping settings all the time by hand. Makes a big difference to whack up the damping on some roads to allow the bike to remain composed when things get quicker or twisty up and down coast roads. West Coast of Scotland comes to mind.

 

[ngilbo]

Thanks - been starting to think along the same lines! Just contacted the dealer and have switched to the ZE.

I have just purchased a 2019 super tenere z model and there are rubber caps where the grab handles fit.I purchased givi trekker panniers and the givi rack which I am planning on buying from the sportsbikeshop says you need the grab rails for the rack to fit.Guess I will have to get some spacers made to put in there instead of the grab handles.

I think these are what I used when fitting my OE luggage stays, as I didn’t have grab rails.

Hiya Boris.My Super tenere is a 1019 model.i have purchased this genuine Yamaha spacer kit.Also the givi PL2119CAM-KL2119CAM rack from sportsbikeshop.to fit the givi trekker panniers I have purchased.The bolts are 10mm to short at mounting holes nearest the rear of bike.and the supporting bar near the tyre is 20mm short of lining up.So a bit puzzled whether it is the spacers or rack which is wrong.ang ideas.
